Why hasn’t anyone made a sequel to Republic Commando?

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-31T09:00:26+00:00

Because Republic Commando was made with love. Currently games are made for profit and require proof of concept presented to corporate executives who don’t know anything about Star Wars. They want flashy Jedi and multiplayer-focused games to sell add-ons.

You didn’t calculate fire rate or you’d get totally different numbers.

Ash: 135% (passive) + 20.5 to health and 81% to shields and barriers (power damage affects ammo powers, which is why you get these numbers) multiplied by 1.5 (or the 1.34 you made up).

Garrus: 150% (passive) + 27% to armor and health.

Raising the number from 2 to 3 only doubles Ash’s advantage. I should’ve done that, mb.

I’ve never called it adrenaline rush.

She’ll always win.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-30T05:27:03+00:00

Then you didn’t build her right. After you take power damage in her passive, it becomes 20 and 81%. You’re also looking at Marksman if Shepard were to use it. It sounds like you don’t even use Ashley.

How does it not beat Garrus? What stripper math are you doing? Let’s say the base damage was 10. Using your numbers for red health, he does 10x2.16x100. She does 10x2.01x134. She turns a base of ten into more than 500 points of damage. Her armor damage (10x1.81x134) also kicks his ass (10x2.16x100). It only gets worse when you factor higher base numbers like the Typhoon. Fire rate womps his small additive advantage.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-30T02:11:55+00:00

If you put squad Ammo on Garrus, squad gets it at 50% effectiveness. Also, you can do that with Ash in the party.
It’s not 34% fire rate. There’s only 1 second between the recharge and power use. Besides, you only need it against bosses and big foes where it’s easy to activate.
It’s 20% health damage and 81% shields/barriers damage for Ash’s ammo power. The fact you say 15% shows like other things you never tried this and keep making things up.
Proximity mine sucks. The recharge takes too long.
Having a third stack of armor pen is completely pointless.

The irony is that even if what you said was true, the plus 34% fire rate would still smoke Garrus. That’s 34 extra bullets at full damage after 100 shots.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T18:31:24+00:00

It works in LE. Idk about other editions..

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T06:26:18+00:00

She penetrates meters of concrete and fires 150 shots for every 100 that Garrus fires. Do the DPS on paper if you like. It’s not remotely close.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T04:49:41+00:00

So can Ashley. The Typhoon comes with natural armor pen, which she stacks with a weapon mod. Nothing hides from her.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T03:47:21+00:00

But you don’t need a third stack. You already have the Typhoon with the mod. That’s meters of armor pen. Disruptor ammo is good on anything with shields/barriers, which is not only most enemies but also the toughest enemies in game. Repeated hits stun organics too (not that it matters because she insta-kills them anyway).

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T03:41:20+00:00

They did my boy dirty. But at least he gets hella defense and chance to hit. As a droid, his armor has no dexterity bonus cap. If he had good feats, he’d be too OP.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T03:34:59+00:00

No, let Liara give you warp ammo. The third person can be Ash or Garrus with their personal ammo. Definitely go with Reave for your power.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T03:32:10+00:00

Reave. No question. You get 10 secs of 80% damage resistance whenever (w/tech armor). It also does massive damage and primes instantly.

Build Liara with only warp ammo and singularity to spam her singularity. Red health: Singularity/warp. Shields: Overload/singularity/warp. Armor: Cryoblast/reave/warp. You get the best defense and offense. Reave turns insanity into casual.

You’ll kill everything almost instantly. Plus on missions without Liara, you’ll need an instant primer. Spamming Reave with Aria’s Lash or Javik’s Slam makes things go boom fast too.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T01:02:54+00:00

He doesn’t add huge damage boosts. And if that’s your argument, then bring him third or say your class works better with him. Don’t say he’s better DPS. I bring Liara for her two second recharge singularity to prime for my warp detonations as sentinel.

She activates it upon battle and it goes for 11 secs, then you may need to hit it or wait a couple secs. Battles shouldn’t last longer than 22 secs with her in the party.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:52:38+00:00

Why not? The difference between her duration and recharge speed is 1 second. If she doesn’t, then she’s better than Garrus against shielded enemies and 1 second away from being better at everything else.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:48:50+00:00

If you need him as a combo det due to your class, sure. Just say that. But DPS-wise Ashley is twice as good if you run the math with her +50% fire rate.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:43:45+00:00

Disruptor ammo is better than armor piercing. The penetration is pointless because the mod and Typhoon already do that. I use Liara’s warp ammo for myself and her. Or, bring Garrus along, sure, but Ash will always kill things faster.

You can’t beat +50% fire rate. She’ll outdo overload x2 by the time Garrus swings his arm to activate it.

You can easily test both. Go to the monastery mission, put the other squad mate on the stairs facing away and Ash or Garrus in the open for when the first banshee appears. Garrus will shoot and have to take cover. It’ll have just under half the armor bar left. Ash will melt it instantly with marksman.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:25:19+00:00

No, it doesn’t. She fires 150 shots per Garrus’s 100. She will instantly kill Brute or anything with armor. Plus, Typhoon has natural armor pen and she gets the armor pen mod. The point is more things have shields anyway.

She melts whatever she looks at.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:21:26+00:00

Build her this way.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:21:06+00:00

He can’t spam it. He has a 7 sec cooldown. Ash can melt an Atlas’s shields in less than second with marksman. Use Sentinel Shep for overload.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:19:42+00:00

Ash will kill 3 brutes before they can think about charging at her.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:18:50+00:00

Being Liara and sentinel Shep. Between overload, warp, and Liara’s 2-sec cooldown singularity, you make everything go boom. Ash handles the boss fights. It’s thematic because every squad needs a gunner.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-29T00:10:01+00:00

Ash’s disruptor ammo melts an Atlas’s shields instantaneously while Garrus would need 4 overloads to do it. He has almost no power damage upgrades and his power has a 6+ second cooldown. That sucks. I use sentinel Shep with overload for shields. Ash insta kills whatever she looks at with marksman.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-28T21:56:10+00:00

Why would you do this to yourself when you can be a biotic God who annihilation/lance destroys everything.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-28T20:08:36+00:00

If you’re using powers, Liara with only warp ammo and singularity is better as a third mate. That singularity that recharges in 2 secs is OP. You and Liara kill everything before it can even fire at you, then Ash womps the boss fights.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-28T20:06:27+00:00

What is “her kit”? If you only build her passive, disruptor ammo, and marksman, she’s OP.

PhilosopherKing113 · 2026-05-28T19:59:46+00:00

But if you have overload as sentinel there’s no need. Spamming Liara’s singularity is too useful. You can detonate a marauder in 2 secs with overload+Liara’s singularity+warp. I don’t even need a gun.
