Player Notes

Mechanics

• A distorting but not visually debilitating haze effect with some crackling lightning bolts is applied on the screen when Rage is activated, refreshing every time a close-range kill is performed and fading over time if otherwise.
• Headbutts or kills with any weapon within only a few meters of the character are considered close-range kills for Rage activation.
• Rage's branching skill sets deal either with increasing melee damage for the krogan or increasing damage resistance.
• The Krogan Engineer audibly huffs and pants when Rage is activated.

Strategies

• Krogan characters can kill basic troops with one headbutt on Bronze difficulty, making Rage activation and maintenance easy to achieve. In higher difficulties, the appropriate damage boosters may be required.
• On Gold difficulty and above, damage resistance may be more important than increased melee damage due to the increased damage output of enemies. Rank 6 Berserker lowers Rage activation to only 2 kills and even kicks in when health drops below the stated threshold, which can be a common occurrence on these higher difficulties when playing with characters that haven't been maxed out yet.
• Since Remnant forces have numerous units floating or otherwise that can deal significant damage while keeping their distance well beyond headbutt or close range weapon fire, caution is highly advised before wading into a group of them.

Availability
