In Mass Effect 2, the only way to get the pulse rifle is by playing the game on the 'Hardcore' or 'Insanity' difficulty settings during the Tali's recruitment mission at Haestrom (Dossier: Tali). Acquisition of the gun isn't as intensive as the first Mass Effect game, however, the second and third games do have varying degrees of difficulty when trying to do so. The Geth Pulse Rifle is undoubtedly the best assault rifle to get in the last two games. Mass Effect 2 and 3įortunately, for the last two games in the trilogy, the best assault rifle in both is simply one weapon. The gun is only purchasable through select vendors in the game: the C-Sec Requisition Officer at the Citadel and the Alliance Requisition Officer onboard the Normandy. To get its level X rifle, money needs to be saved throughout the entirety of the playthrough as it will cost an arm and a leg to purchase it, and on top of that, Shepard will have to be level 50. To get the level VII rifle, the 'Rich' achievement must be unlocked by having over one million credits in the game. The caveat of it all is that it isn't necessarily the easiest set to acquire.įor its assault rifle, there are only two levels to get the weapon in, VII and X (though you can access other levels with cheats). Its pistol, shotgun, and sniper rifle from the set are undeniably overpowered and will allow you to mow down any enemy to help ease the playthrough.

The set has a full arsenal of weapons that players can choose from that aren't limited to just assault rifles.
