Debuting on FactPile in this match is Urdnot Wrex from the Mass Effect franchise. While I think he would put up a decent fight, in the end HK-47 would outlast him.
What do you think?
A message from HK-47: Happy Thanksgiving, Meatbags.

Siding with HK-47 for more meatbag goodness. But I think it also depends on what skills Wrex has. Anyone has any idea what is the canon Wrex abilities? If he has Bastion and Stasis, he might just pulled it off over our beloved assassin droid.

How lethal is Mass Effect weaponry? We got any measurements that show that any of Rex’s weapons can even penetrate HK-47’s armor plating?

“I can see how a girl can be more attractive with clothes on”
“If we die in here, I’m going to kill him”
Just two of my favorite qoutes from Wrex, added with some of his adventures, Wrex is one bada$$ mercanery. But would he win in this fight? Most likely not.

Mass Effect weapons are essentially rail guns. They use mass accelerators to fire grain of sand size shavings of a dense metal block at hypersonic speeds (Mach 5 and higher). Since the metal block is folded by a Mass Effect field the ammo supply is essentially limitless as the field allows mass content to be unporportional to itself in real space (a cubic meter in a ME field isn’t a cubic meter in size in real space-time; it can be either much larger or much small depending on how the ME field is used).
These ‘bullets’ shatter on impact and can be augmented with a large number of secondary enhancements.
On the lighter side of things I think it would be hilarious that if Wrex won this match he tea bags HK-47, a la halo multiplayer teabagging, with his four testicals.

i loved wrex in mass effect and would be on his side. unfortunatly, hk-47 wouldn’t outlast him, he would destroy him.

I never have liked Wrex. He’s really just a 7 feet, fat, wrinkly fish who always dies ! And they have that DREADFULL music when they die !

i think that the admin should have given wrex an easier first fight against someone like the arbiter
and also CRACKSHOT99, what does this have 2 do with the fight

HK would just shot Wrex in his fat fish like head. Wrex would probably get a few lucky pot-shots off HK but then he’ll be laying in a pool of blood. ” CUE RUBBISH DEATH MUSIC! “

Wrex uses Barrier, Immunity and Singularity. HK finds his weapons ineffective, and then floats off into space… then exploding shotgun particles take his arms off.
Remember, Wrex has more than just his shotgun. He has Biotic powers too. And he’s a tough old space-fish. I think he could take this.
November 29, 2009

HK-47 takes this its one target. The only way HK-47 cant take one target is if the target is one of those characters who is invulnerable and has every power under the sun.

I dont think that Wrex’s “Biotic” powers would do any affect on HK and the barrier and immunity would’nt help as he’ll still be ripped to shreads. Also Wrex’s shotgun would’nt even harm HK.

“I dont think that Wrex’s “Biotic” powers would do any affect on HK and the barrier and immunity would’nt help as he’ll still be ripped to shreads. Also Wrex’s shotgun would’nt even harm HK.”
Any particular reason? The Biotic powers work fine on geth, and they are purely mechanical. Barrier and Immunity used at once make the main character immune to ship fire, Wrex is considerably tougher than the Main Character, with better (Stronger, more durable, with more add space) armour
Wreks armour can be given more shields, energy resistance, health regen, enhanced strength (enough to knock an enemy into orbit with a shoulder barge)…
This isn’t nearly as one sided as people seem to claim.
December 1, 2009
#20
You know you can upgrade HK as well. And even if “immunity” and “barrier” did stop HK’s shots, Wrex woulld’nt be able to damage HK because of his impresive armour and shields.
December 2, 2009
#21
@Jwlynaa
So Wrex is allowed all that armor and upgrades and HK isn’t ?
Could we say HK gets his best aswell ?
In that case HK could be armed with a mando heavy repeater and fully upgraded shields and armor whilst Wrex has his which i wasn’t overlly impressed with at all on Mass Effect.
December 2, 2009
#22
All for HK having his additions as well. Makes the match more interesting. But seeing as how most Mass effect weapons turn the foes into rapidly evaporating clouds of dead people, turn bots into swiftly broken scrap and can be augmented with all sorts of tasty treats, I’m not sure how helpful an extremely short range ice beam would be.
Plus, theres always the much loved Stasis – Throw combo. Stasis freezing the enemy from a range that sniper rifles struggle to comprehend, Throw… well, its a given what throw does, no?
I’ve seen people disappear from view after that move. Add to this backup organs and laser disappating shields, and I’m not sure how HK will be able to even slow the Krogan Battlemaster.

1st, HK is not from the Mass Effect Universe where all their robots are weak. 2nd, HK’s armour is SO strong Wrex’s shots would’nt damage the assassin droid. 3rd, Wrex would’nt get a chance to move. HK would just sneak up on Wrex and blow his fat fish brains over the wall. “Cue Rubbish Death Music !!”

1st. Geth are far from weak.
2nd. HK’s armour is impressive, but far from impenetrable and has numerous weakpoints around the joints and a few sections where inner workings are clearly visable.
3rd Wrex wouldn’t need to move. Stasis + Throw/Carnage-powered shotgun with any numer of different rounds (the anti-synthetic would be favourite, but because of lack of forknowledge I’d imagine a different layout, likely focusing on highest power possible) on HK, Barrier + immunity on Wrex…
Problem solved.
As to sneaking up… HK isn’t able to go invisible, and seeing as this isn’t a hunters match, where both parties must find and kill the other, there’s no reason to assume HK can magically appear behind wrex. He’s not empowered with superhuman agility after all(Unlike the Geth, who Wrex slaughters easily)

I cant see any vulnerable wires and I doubt if those circuits would be very important. I know Wrex’s shields are stronger than that of the chief but I’d say it would be down in 4-5 shots from HK’s disruptor. Also those attachments he can have on his wirst come in handy, I remember there being one that stuns meatbags for a brief time giving HK an almost certain win if he can fire it before Wrex can use his powers (Which he most likely can).

“I know Wrex’s shields are stronger than that of the chief but I’d say it would be down in 4-5 shots from HK’s disruptor.”
And then there’s just the heavy armour and badass Krogan to get through… HK wouldn’t get those 4 shots.
“Also those attachments he can have on his wirst come in handy, I remember there being one that stuns meatbags for a brief time”
All of which have a very limited range, especially when compared to Wrex’s Biotics.
“Giving HK an almost certain win if he can fire it before Wrex can use his powers (Which he most likely can).”
Seeing as Biotic powers are used by thinking about them and, if you want, pointing, I’m not sure HK will be able to get up close enough to his his attachments before being bounced off the walls and Ripped asunder by furepower.

I doubt Wrex’s useless powers would work on the assassin droid as HK’s from a much better and more edvanced universe where he finds the force hard to move him.

Well thats the way to continue reasoned debate…
Better Universe? Possibly, but personally I think not
More advanced… Well, differently advanced really.
Weak and useless powers? Wrex launches some people into space with his Biotics. Thats not weak or useless.

“Like I have already said, HK finds the force hard to find move him and I doubt “Biotics” are more powerfull than the force.”
No reason it couldn’t be. Its less adaptable than the force certainly, but the things it can do it does wonderfully. It can cause a gravitational anomaly, pulling any and all objects not pinned to the ground towards the same point and slamming them into each other, it can freeze an opponent utterly, throw them a great distance (1250 newtons of pressure over a wide area, which mixed with the lack of gravity can hurl things truly massive distances) and makes the user themselves damn near immune to any outsides forces.
Come the end of january I don’t doubt we’ll see many more possible uses, but for now those are the only ones we know of. Even so, total immobility would be enough to cripple HK, and from there Wrex can dismantle HK at his leisure.

Wrex’s “Biotics” are MUCH weacker than the Force, what we already know, but HK’s armour can take alot of pressure from the Force. Biotics are far weaker than the Force so the best Wrex’s Biotics can do is maybe slow down HK.

Based on… What, opinion?
Whether or not it can take pressure from the force is irrelevant. Throw can bring Geth Colossi to their knee’s and those things are around the size of AT AT’s. You’re going to tell me HK weighs more than them?

An elite assassin droid most likely has quicker reactions than to stand whilst Wrex performs his powers. Also can’t biotics only affect one thing at a time meaning if HK gets behind e.g. a box Wrex would have to move it with his powers giving HK a good opportunity to attack. Wrex’s biotics are really the only thing he can use against HK as I doubt Mass Effect tech has much of an effect on HK’s shilds and armor.

“An elite assassin droid most likely has quicker reactions than to stand whilst Wrex performs his powers.”
And one of the most accomplished Mercenaries in the mass effect universe probably knows his fair share of tricks.
“Also can’t biotics only affect one thing at a time meaning if HK gets behind e.g. a box Wrex would have to move it with his powers giving HK a good opportunity to attack”
Well no, because Wrex would throw the box into HK’s face, knocking him off balance and clearing the cover and then Boom, in comes the Stasis
“Wrex’s biotics are really the only thing he can use against HK as I doubt Mass Effect tech has much of an effect on HK’s shilds and armor.”
Mass effect weaponry is far from weak. FAR from weak, and the additional stuff that can be modded into the weapons gives Wrex one hell of an advantage.
December 9, 2009

I think it takes more than a box to stumble HK.
Flamethrower also comes in useful especially if aimed at Wrex’s face which is unprotected (assuming we go by the pics of the characters) and to be fair Wrex is a pretty big target.

Depends on what the box is made out of and how hard it’s thrown. Wrex throws pretty hard.
And again, the second HK shows his face, Wrex hits hit with Stasis. Nothing HK can do from that point, except be dismantled.
December 10, 2009
#37
“And again, the second HK shows his face, Wrex hits hit with Stasis. Nothing HK can do from that point, except be dismantled.”
HK’s armour is WAY to strong for “Stasis” to dismantle him. And Wrex would’nt would’nt get a chance to use his “powers” because the moment HK shows his face will be the moment HK blows the wrinkled fishes brains over the floor.
CUE RUBBISH DEATH MUSIC !!!
December 10, 2009
#38
It is a matter of speed then, who can get the first shot off.
Wrex with stasis or HK with more or less any gun in his arsenal. I would personally go with HK for speed… he kills very quickly.
December 10, 2009
#39
“HK’s armour is WAY to strong for “Stasis” to dismantle him. ”
Stasis freezes things in place. the dismantling would come afterwards, when Wrex Saunters up and unscrews HK’s arms.
“And Wrex would’nt would’nt get a chance to use his “powers” because the moment HK shows his face will be the moment HK blows the wrinkled fishes brains over the floor.”
Right… Because of all the times HK robots have been effective against anyone with force or force like powers who have been prepared. Wrex’s armour is strong and resistant to high temps (Like the firing line of a fusion torch temps), his shields are powerful, his skin is tough as hell. HK isn’t going to win this in a single shot, and Wrex is more than capable of freezing HK in place from a distance beyond HK’s extra equipment (Flame thrower, ice beam, etc)

Armor, tough sking and shields matter not when put against HK’s ion cannon. Can by pass personal shields and armor and completely disintergrate its target.
December 13, 2009

Which would matter, if HK were not Stasis’d. But he would be, so…yeah
Independent, unbiased adjudicator, which side is making better arguments here?

“Armor, tough sking and shields matter not when put against HK’s ion cannon. Can by pass personal shields and armor and completely disintergrate its target.”
Er, you mean the disruptor, correct? The droid assasin’s rifle is pretty beefy…
Not that I’m sideing with HK or anything, but can anything in Wrex’s arsenal damage durasteel? As we all know by now, durasteel has one-hundred times the tensile strength of titainium… Although I suppose Wrex could aim for the rather open joints on the droid… I’m undecided.
December 14, 2009
#43
Hard to say, but the sheer velocity, plus the incredible versatility of the rounds (High Explosvie, double railed for added speed and impact for example) make me think he can.
December 14, 2009

Well, with this stasis beam thing, I’m inclined to side with Wrex. If he doesn’t wait very long to use it anyway.

ok.
i want to end this battle by listing hks abilities
-cloaking
-1cm thick durasteel plating supported by a layer of beskar
-multiple hidden weapon.eg eye laser anti-flesh chemical ect
-verity of external weaponry
-limited self repair system
-shielding similar to those of a gungan wart shield(at a smaller scale)
-2nd inner shield(stolen from a droideka)
-heat resistant, 1628 degrees Celsius (10 mins at most)
-can climb vertical walls
-ability to use other sensors when blinde
-bad ass attitude to targets to meat bags and droids alike

fucking christ yall about to make me pop in mass effect and give you da whole shit bout wrex. people comparing the force to biotics you cant do it they work on different principles. until you truely understand mass effect tech and abilities.
the very name of the game is the focal point of their tech….Mass effect is the term use when element zero is manipulated for variuos effects. Element Zero distorts the mass of matter, and space-time itself, so whatever HK’s defenses are theyre worthless. and guess what the same stuff powers mass effect shields they where designed to defend against mass driver weapons, so if HK aint firing slug outta railgun like tech at speeds exeeding hypersonic velocity he aint getting passed the shields.
Biotics are there power to control dark energy thru mass effect fields caused by element zero, biotic powers affect a targets mass and particles on sub atomic levels.
wheter its lift or throw where they lower the mass of a target to move it in a disired direction,
wrap which causes violent shifts in matter ripping it apart,
stasis which puts a target in a mass effect field that causes complete atomic halt
Barrier which reinforces a kinetic barrier with another mass effect field.
He can recharge his shield via shield boost
immunity grants him near indestructability
overkill and carnage effectively turn his weapons into a long range SMG and a rocket launcher
and his race(krogans) is known for their reptilian strength and Regenerative abilities fuck a weapon he’ll tank everything then deck HK.
These guys had to be taken out before they where born to be defeated thats how badass they were, evolved to survive extreme conditions (fire ice acid poison it doesnt bother them). i land on a volcano planet the hazard count down pops up and Wrex says “finally we go somewhere a little warmer.”
HK’s cloaking not gonna help, the weapon on mass effect can be equipped with advanced sensors that are synched with the armor to counter any cloaking. hell if his cloaking dont jam radar his cloaking is void because the onboard computer targets enemies, man HK dont even have equipment on par with a Alliance foot soldier. he dont even have anything to hurt Wrex or even defend himself, Biotic attacks ignore shielding one warp and HK’s scraped.

“is it just me or does wrex’s way of thinking remind me of a wookie in wich case he would rip HKs arms out of his sockets”
ARE YOU INSANE ! HK has armour SO strong that it takes a Star Destroyers blaster to dent it. So I doubt a fluffy animal could rip out HK’s arms. Anyway back to killling Wrex, Darkbladex96 it seems you have’nt played any SW games as well as any SW gmaes involving HK. Wrexs “biotics” can not be compared to the force and if the force can only JUST damage HK I doubt that Wrex’s medioka “powers” would only just brush past the assassin droid leaving the fat Krogan defensless.
Cue Rubbish Death Music !

@crackshot99
obviously mr crackshot you sir are slow in the head. even if HK’s armor was that tough it would be irrelevent, because mass and space time are being screwed with to affect targets. so HK will be shredded, once again dont compared the force and biotics they are nothing alike, the force doesnt work like biotics so stating that the force did little damage isnt helping your case.
what makes you think that wrex will be defenseless after using his powers? nothing you making crap up u dont even know what you talkin about you dont know the mass effect universe, or thier tech you should just be silent.
HK’s shield is worthless, his weapons are worthless, abilities are worthless, his shield is like that of a gungan’s and if i remember correctly solid objects go straight thru them so………the shield aint helping. what is he gonna do to him huh? nothing HK’s got nothing.

@cyborg pirate ninja jesus,Darkbladex96,Nintendopwns,
You obviously have’nt played any games or learnt nothing of HK.
He’s armour IS’NT rubbish. Its probably 3 times the strength of Wrex’s. His wepaons ARE’NT useless as they are FAR more advanced than any Mass Effect firearm. If you read all the other HK fights you should realise how much Wrex would be owned by the assassin droid.
@cyborg pirate ninja jesus,
Im not makeing ANY of this stuff up. Read some of HK’s fights and you’ll notice how much his opponents are masacred.

@Crackshot99
I’ve played both KOTOR and Mass effect and I say that HK doesn’t have any defenses against gravity. This makes him vulnerable to Wrex’s biotics.
HK usually uses blaster weaponry. This is a bolt of plasma packaged in a temporary magnetic field. This has a short range due to issues with the packaging. Moreover, the bolt still has mass, not much mass but enough to be affected by the kinetic shields used in the mass effect verse. Considering that these shields can deflect hypersonic projectiles with a mass under a gram, it’s very likely that it can deflect or atleast reduce the power of a blaster bolt. It’s also impossible to burn through ablative armor. Burn it off, yes, but this required continuous heat.
HK’s shields are useless since they’re designed for energy weapons and nobody in mass effect uses those weapons. His armor should provide him with some protection, assuming wrex didn’t pack a distrupter ammo mod, but typical mass effect weaponry puts alot of kinetic energy over a very small area. They also aren’t meant for armor penetration. Mostly, they just smash armor so much that the armor simply fails. HK-47’s armor might stand up to the first couple hits but it’s going to fail eventually.
HK-47’s gear may be more technologically advanced, but it lacks the refinement of Urdnot Wrex’s. For example, star wars has artificial gravity, but no gravitic shielding nor weapons.
February 4, 2010
#61
Wrex is easily burnt as shown in game, HK always has his attachments on hand and is favorable of the flamer, (as it gets a singular target which is his favored approach to combat scenarios) it could mostly remove Wrex’s shields if not deplete them and incinerate him to death, assuming Wrex hasn’t already blasted him off into space as said many times on this thread. Seriously, if thats whats gonna happen every time a biotic faces an enemy stop putting them on the site.

@Belisaurius
someone see’s the light, but mass effect barriers react to velocity not mass. but mass does increase with velocity.
@CRACKSHOT99
im tellin you that HK’s armor dont matter if warp rips apart the atomic structure of objects with shifting mass effect fields than no lvl of armor matters.
and to be completely honest his shit aint more advanced than mass effect tech. everything he has mass effect has something better. blaster bolts have been brought up time and time again no energy weapon weapon will ever drain a kinetic barrier.
they have blaster tech and laser tech in mass but its impractical for ground engagement. Why? because plasma or light’s mass is barely existant no matter how much its acceelerated, thus it would never be able to drain a kinetic shield. HK weapons are doing nothing, his armor doesnt add to his longevity.
yea and as for his armor i dont think its gonna stand very long against projectiles fire at reletivistic speeds thru a corridor or mass reduced space. something tells me that star wars doesnt have a defense for that.
@Jackson
Wrex may have been burnt during gameplay by a flame thrower but dont count that. His home world is a super-heated ,volanic, toxic, nuclea,r hell-hole so a lil fire wont hurt him.
