In this video, we will take a look at the brand new X5 Ghost added in Patch 1.06 of
Mass Effect andromeda today on the 10th of may
and see if it's worth using and what augments might be best to get the most out of your
new weapon.
<title: X5 GHOST - An Extensive Review>
The X5 Ghost is a fully automatic Assault Rifle made in the Andromeda Galaxy from the
design of the M-8 Avenger, considering how bad the Avenger is, I'm glad they found a
way to make it cool.
The idea that this is the first of potentially many weapons that will be invented or upgraded
the longer we're in the Andromeda Galaxy and around more alien technology is a very cool
one,
I hope this isn't just quick addition and is one of many more.
Stat wise its distribution is different to ones we already have which is great,
The damage is on the high side of low, for me showing 57 at rank 1 and 89 and rank 10,
the rate of fire is a very speedy 600 with and unchanging clip size of 90, the max ammunition
is decent at rank 10 being 704 and it's accuracy is quite good even at rank 1 with it being
a very good 114 at rank 10, with the last stat weight being impressive and very usable
at 16 at rank 1 and 8 at rank 10.
Keep in mind that these numbers may be slightly different for you depending on your skills
and profile chosen.
For testing, i'll be using a rank 6 version of the weapon.
The First thing I notice is that while this is a Rare Blueprint costing the research points
to match it only has 2 Augment Slots by default or 3 for me with the cryo pod perk.
This is an oversight that I hope Bioware will hotfix immediately as this decreases the weapon's
damage output by a minimum of 3%.
With no big part to obviously go for as far as fixing, we'll try as is first with a double
mod extension and 2 kinetic coils,
This with a full set of mods put in should give us a good idea of how it works and then
we can start trying the behaviour augmentations.
Note that the mods used are Barrel, Receiver, Magazine and Stock.
All tests are performed on normal.
The Vanilla Stocked version proved to be fairly decent, with good accuracy a very acceptable
clip size especially with the magazine mod,
The impressive part is the reload, it's very quick, noticeably quicker than other guns
and about a third of a heat sink.
This gives me hope for the Electrical Conduits and Potentially Sticky Grenades.
I tried the Beam Emitter just in case as we've just had a patch and you never know,
It was of course awful.
I then tried the Electrical Conduits augmentation and that was expectedly good, taking down
red bars faster than standard shot and entire shields in a fraction of a second, how this
build holds up against the current Electrical Conduit Heavyweight holder for Assault Rifles
is anyone's guess... or my responsibility to test, we'll pit them against each other
after we've finished with these augments.
The Grenade augment was kinda fun and did some damage but compared to all other iterations
except for the Beam, it was awful.
The Sticky grenade, I had high hopes for due to the PAW going so well with it,
But What I Found, Will Shock You!
It was a bit shit, it appeared to do about the same as a vanilla yet had no headshot
or weak point bonus, making it overall a little worse, the stun and AOE is, of course, great
and on most occasions would make it better than the vanilla stacked but not better than
the Electrical conduits.
I tried the sticky build against some Fiends and Taurgs and it just wasn't as good as the
PAW is in that situation either.
I gave the plasma a go, just for fun, as while the plasma makes an automatic gun single shot,
the rate of fire is still there so I was able to fire quicker than my fingers would allow,
this still resulted in mediocre damage, but was somewhat fun to see.
<title: FACE OFF X5 Ghost vs P.A.W.>
Now time for the face off,
The X5 Ghost's best build type was the Electrical Conduits, dealing super fast damage to shields
and quite good damage to red bars.
The current belt holder in Electrical Conduits is the P.A.W. at least as far as AR's go.
So I built a P.A.W. with Electrical Conduits, Equilibrium Regulator, Double Mod Extension
and 2 Coils being the same as the Ghost build only with 2 added coils due to larger augment
slots and tested it.
The P.A.W. came out on top just about in damage, there wasn't a huge difference but the difference
was there and noticeable.
That being said, however, due to the far smaller clip size, I would propose a difference in
leader due to circumstance.
The P.A.W. is better if you have a bio-converter to put into it, but the X5 Ghost is better
if you do not, the quick reload far surpassing the recharge and potential overheat of a heat
sink allows the Ghost to pull ahead where a Bio-Converter is not available to use.
The P.A.W. still rules the roost where the Sticky Grenade Launcher is concerned.
A huge thing of note that I saw while testing is that the X5 Ghost does not allow you to
deconstruct this weapon, meaning you cannot retrieve your augments when you wish to upgrade.
This unfortunate fact is true as of the making of this video which is the patch day, I am
hoping that as on this patch they fixed other weapons with this problem, they will hotfix
this issue very soon.
So for the moment, hold off on making your X5 Ghost.
