I was thinking the same, but then I discovered the Angara sniper and the Kett shotgun. My eyes have been opened. I have ascended beyond, exalted from my milky way tech. See what I did there ;)
currently I use a the valiant instead. Not a much pershot damage but it's got a 5 round mag and I can dump all 5 shots in the 3 second cloak damage buff. Pretty great for big targets. I haven't got a widow yet. Will have to give it a go tonight.
little slow for my taste because you have to keep blinking with each attack. Me i prefer the angaran shivs, the krogan hammer and the angaran shiv have the highest dps melee weapons in the game (i think the krogan hammer edges slightly). not bashing the asari sword the blink is great and it has a nice sweep
Jamaal Calhoun they talked shit about it because it wasn't good. they produce content for it, because it's popular and gets them views. hilarious that in 2017 you still don't understand this
Hypocrisy and self servitude at it's finest. It's not that the game isn't good. It's just that it doesn't live up to it's predecessors. Gamespot seems to have rated it against the previous games in the trilogy as it's scale vs how it stands on it's own as a game. Gamespot also gave it a 6/10 in an effort to make some kind of statement like they do a lot of the time with games they feel disappointed in. Like rating something on your crushed expectations vs it's mechanics. Game does have it's fair share of issues, but c'mon, a 6? It's at least a 7 or 8. So the score feels a deliberate middle finger intended to make the game purposefully lose sales. Hence why he's calling them out since it's so ironic after talking all their crap, that they're trying to still make as much money as possibru off it's views like they did with Destiny. Gamespot doesn't have any integrity. Him making that point doesn't mean he can't read the writing on the wall. It's hilarious YOU can't grasp that.
The only gun I use is PAW Remnant Assault Rifle, rapidly fires max accuracy beams with almost no recoil and has unlimited ammo with very high damage and large clip size.
Milky Way points are the easiest ones to get, I have 3000 of them now but it's because I have the Research Cryo Pod that gives me 100 Milky Way points an hour.
standard version is fire based I believe, if you energy beam it it becomes electric. Fire is good vs armour, electric vs shields. I have the equaliser with electric for shields and the P.A.W for armour melting
André Schulz Frostbite is a helluva engine. I don't know about consoles but the reason it is so smooth is probably because of the really good frame buffering implementation and coupled with a good vsync and this game feels real smooth even at 40fps.
I know....but playing something like Ghost recon in 60 fps and ME Andromeda...ME looks more fluid...I know it sounds stupid and all but thats just what I perceive
The Harrier is there just under a different name,I think it L-68 something but basically it's a gray full auto Mattock you'll probably find it on Kadara, that's where I saw it
Remnant Sweeper Assault rifle with homing plasma augment, its on heatsinks so no need to pick up ammo crates, and you can hit anything, even things in cover. what else do you really need? (also use heat infusion ammo augment for that bonus damage)
Yeah its the perfect weapon to spam while abilities are on cooldown. Also give you more freedom to use the low ammo but heavy hitter pieces as the second weapon so you can pack a punch when you need to without the worry that you'll end up high and dry.
I'll be honest my secondary weapon is that Kett smg that ramps up fire the longer you hold down the trigger, also with homing plasma. I really just like being able to knock stuff out of cover so i can go to work as the vanguard im meant to be.
Before I get into my loadout, here's a tip that took me half the game to realize, for those that don't know. When you dismantle a weapon or armor that you crafted, you get all of the augments back along with a portion of the spent resources. This is especially helpful when you want to build weapons to test (for weird augments that are N7 rarity). Here's my current loadout: Piranha with vintage clip, dual mod addition, kinetic in last 3 slots. P.A.W. with seeking plasma, dual mod addition, kinetic, kinetic, tech dmg. This is my melt targets gun. I use it in mid-semi close range and when my sweeper is cooling (swapping remnant weapons is faster than waiting for the cooling period) Sweeper with dual mod addition, kinetic in last 3 slots. Probably my favorite gun, shame it's only a gold. It would be really nasty with 5 augments. Black Widow with seeker plasma, dual mods, and 3 kinetic. I'm still not completely sure how I feel about this Rifle. It hits like a train (800+ dmg with augs and mods) and has a 3 round "clip" but the plasma rounds move slow, and worse still, they track to center mass instead of where you aim on the target. I'm probably going to scrap this one and make an Isharay with dual mods and max kinetic. Keep in mind that I've got the extra augment slot unlocked through cryo points so I've got 5 augment slots on N7 rank weapons, 4 slots on gold, 3 on silver, and 2 on bronze.
Joshua Ferrell bro, my fav weapon. with my biotic build, I use a 2 pistol load out. when I finally had enough copper, I already researched lvl3. I'm just blowing through kett. I upped the difficulty to hard to give em a chance lol
Isharay with vintage heatsink, if you're accurate with headshots and max out sniper tree that thing can 1 shot a lot of enemies. Added bonus of no need to search for ammo in between fights. P.A.W with tech based mods was a great go to weapon as an engineer. It cuts through armour with ease as its fire based and with ammo mods it lasts a long time before recharges
The PAW assault rifle is amaaaazing. It hits so fast, doesn't run out of bullets, and the damage is pretty substantive. The Asari sword is also really strong, as it's attack also doubles as a dodge.
remnant paw with plasma bolt seekers. never run out of ammo and you can blind fire from cover, and still hit anything. takes getting used to, but essentially hip fire forever. include clip increasing mods with penetration and damage increase.
Augment a Cyclone Assault Rifle with the sticky grenade augmentation. Instead of spraying your enemies with bullets, you are now spraying them with sticky grenades. Explosions everywhere.
the Piranha looks so brutal, perfect fit for my soldier playthru. i run isharay on my agent playthru but i miss too many shots. should enroll in the stormtroopers. the ushior is a beast and with a scope mod it makes for a great back up for the sniper rifle
Currently using the Venom shotgun, is both a shotgun and a grenade launcher,charge it up before shooting and it fires a cluster grenade with multiple explosions.
Huge fan of the P.A.W. myself. Played a tech based with the Turret and Remnant AI drone and the PAW and I never had to stop for ammo and was getting very consistant head shots (which is impressive given how bad I am at FPS generally). Shoot for a bit them move to new cover, use my energy drain and shoot some more. Occasionaly drained a charge and had to wait for refresh but just used a Pistol backup for 2-3 shots then went back to the PAW. Insanely accurate and light end game and with the right mods like Fire Mod (+25% damage) and extra slots this thing was nasty.
P.A.W Remanant Rifle with homing plasma mod ..you will never need anything else ever again. It's an energy weapon (no ammo needed) with 37 shots before over heating (and a really short cooldown even if overheated), with 600 fire rate if I remember right. It looks like firing a swarm of angry little energy bees that track down and decimate you target. It just eats them alive and all you have to do is hold the fire button for like 2 seconds (precise targeting not required, just aim in the general direction)
Sparda11222 true man...I had to grind for resources alot...but when I found that combination.....it was so worth the effort..... a really enjoyable weapon and quite powerful too..
I have the anergy streams mod and my rifle fires a powerful beam of mad energy that devastates Shields and melts anything I use it on......am really, really having a blast with this game and it's crafting....now I feel like an absolute idiot for almost trusting the reviews... so glad I didn't.!!!
there is an angaran pistol that holds one round and does more damage than most sniper rifles. it works pretty well as a backup gun when you put the shield oscillator mod on it. every time you fire it you get 25% of your shields back.
Hornet for close to mid range and Carnifex for mid to long range. Plus, because they weigh so little, you have really fast power recharge rates. Between constant powers, the bullet hose, and headshots from the hand cannon no one stands a chance.
The N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle is literally the only gun I use. It's a two burst gun that can kill a normal kett with a single trigger pull, add in turbocharge and maybe invasion and you just melt even Architects.
n7 Avenger, has been my go to assault rifle, the accurate two round burst with upgraded combat profile, for increased critical damage and headshots, makes most enemies a breeze.
P.A.W. assault rifle with the electric augment. Basically a Reeger Carbine with infinite ammo, high range, and pinpoint accuracy. It also decimates stuff.
The Raptor sniper rifle with fire rate modifiers. Tears through most shields in one clip, kills damn near everything in another. It's almost a sniper SMG. Even effective at hip-fire and spray-and-pray from cover.
Isharay with the maverick armor and the infiltrator profile. Very rarely do you have to 2 shot an enemy. Spec everything into headshot/weakpoint damage. With the Isharay V I did 3,560 damage per headshot/weakpoint.
I pack a heavily modified pair of sniper rifles for my Infiltrator, no other guns necessary: The N7 Valiant "Widowmaker" (Custom name) and the Black Widow "Doombringer". Add in enough mods/augments specialize in gun weight reduction and improve damage, and all your fights become shooting ranges.
the sword kett carfalon gives back shield not because of his attack, but because the profile, you have to put it on Vanguard profile so you would get some % of shield back when you melee the enemy
Reegar carbine absolutely shreds anyone with shields even after they go down, and the scattershot remnant shotgun does great damage with infinite ammo (all remnant guns) and with the explosive plasma augmentation has 4 high explosive rounds that near instantly refill.
a widowmaker with increased ammo capacity and damage boost along with it increased clip size augmentations all fantastic and all make for a great one shot kill to anything
For a pure Milky Way lover like me.... This is my build 1. Blackwidow (Demigod of sniper, you can kill Fiend in 3 bullets headshot, other than that... 1 hit kill) 2. M7 Avenger or Valkrye Rifle... OR... you can bring a shotgun (Good for group enemies) 3. Carnifex Pistol (High damage, slow rate of fire) or N7 Eagle (my demigod of pistol) You can do a Biotic build or tech build with this setup
So guys, how about that damage / max clip = damage per bullet --> --> Damage per bullet * rate of fire = damage per full clip Now the tricky part, some guns have extreme power, mostly single shot weapons like the Isharay. I tried to capture the reloading time, so for more accuracy I'd simply divide rate of fire with reloading time. Which in my cases are: Valkyre: ~3,1 seconds Sidewinder: ~2,2 seconds Disciple: ~3,3 seconds Isharay: ~4,2 seconds For example: Isharay X: 1372 damage / 1 clip = 1372 damage * (75 fire rate / 4,2 reload time =17,86) = 24.503,92 Widows X: 19.205,76 Valkyrie X: 7042,99 Falcon X: 2733,66 Disciple X: 8017,8 Crusader X: 5363,1 Sidewinder X: 7155,95 Carnifex X: 3226,95 Ushior X: 39.094,49!!! I have no clue if I'm even right btw, so feel free to correct me guys
I use the Paw Assault Rifle with Inferno Sniper Rifle and Disciple shotgun all custom. Never need ammo except for the shotgun. Disciple has +2 mods and seeking plasma bolts. Inferno has +2 mods 35% accuracy while hovering and + 3 weapon damage. Great setup for low ammo areas, but it's all I need for the whole game.
I prefer to use the P.A.W Assault Rifle that you can research with your Remnant points. Consistent damage, doesn't use ammo, and cools down pretty quickly. It takes out regular grunts quickly, and can really whittle down an Ascendant or Architect.
Spectre for life. Avenger with vintage heat sinks (vHS) and burst fire or the Hornet with vHS, Widow with vHSand upgraded ammo capacity (one shot is all i need), Predator M-9 pistol with vHS and plasma. Simple, sweet and effective.
Tried a whole bunch of guns, but after you try the Sweeper you never need any other weapon. Incredible damage and accuracy at any range. Doesn't need bullets either. If you're pressed for weight, this is the only gun you ever need to bring on any mission and on any difficulty. A lot of people vote for the PAW, but that gun does paltry damage compared to this one and it doesn't require you to fire a constant beam either.
my go-to loadout was the Black Widow sniper rifle, Disciple shotgun (nothing remarkable, but powerful and easy to craft) Valkyrie assault rifle and the n7 hurricane SMG
the ultimate weapon of death is the sniper rifle "isharay" BUT you need to boost it a Little. Firstly by increesing your cap size up to two shots. And then you need to craft a special perk which autofills your ammo without reloading but it takes 5% of your hp each time. to help you ignore that i advise to boost up your shields and add a perk that reduces your Total hp by 50% and increases your shields by 50%. if still you have some problems with keeping your shields up, you can use the "bionic skill that makes you dash towards enemy" and one of the upgrades makes it refill your shields. Over all, in my actual build i use ishary as a long-range weapon (100-200m) mid-range weapon (50-100m) and as a shotgun with no scopes. Btw. scince you don't need any ammo now, the only thing you will be looking for in a long missions are health packs and belive me they aren't needed as often as you think.
if you want pure killing power. N7 Piranha With Homing rounds and the "health cost for instant clip reload" augmentation... This crafted gun will kill anything in seconds on normal from very good range. Hold trigger and watch stuff die... Soned with Vintage Heatsink and Homing rounds. Literally a minigun that you dont have to aim... just hold the trigger and watch stuff in front of you die. Combine this with the soldier profile, with the Overdrive and tactical (combat) cloak abilities and on command you can kill nearly any target in seconds and clear rooms without really having to aim.
My top 5 favorite weapons in the game, function over aesthetic, but some are both. 1. Black Widow sniper rifle. "Old Faithful". this is a one hit kill against the average enemy, with only a few select enemies being able to sustain a headshot and survive. it also packs a solid punch on a bodyshot, though it won't kill your average grunt, a second shot following that will *usually* end them. 2. Sweeper Assault Rifle - a Remnant AR, this burst fire weapon to me felt similar to the Argus in ME3, and the Battle Rifle in halo, some of my favorite weapons, aside from most sniper rifles(i really like my sniper rifles) 3. Disciple - im not really sure how this one stacks up against the other shotguns in the game, but i picked it up so i have a shotgun in my loadout, and i recalled it serving me well in ME3. aesthetically i really like it, it isn't as jagged as most of the other shotguns. 5. Ushior - this handcannon is a great fallback plan if an enemy gets too close to zoom in on an enemy and i overheat my sweeper(usually happens with the Fiends). i like the pistol mostly for the ability to chunk an enemy, but its 1 shot clip makes its greatest strength its greatest weakness - you have a 5 second vulnerability window after you fire. personally this beats the scorpion for me, but it really didn't do much for me in ME3, and i didn't give it a chance in the new galaxy. 4. Asari Blade - this blade to me feels very similar to the blade wielded by the Cerberus Shadow units.(that was the shadows right? i get them crossed with their sniper counterparts) past that, they pack decent punch, and, unless im going crazy(wouldn't be shocked), the weapon also gives you a few invulnerability frames, while you blink around. it also has the benefit of being a milky way weapon, so its easy to reseach(for me with my cryo picks at least) and it was relatively cheap for me to make in materials as well, though that may have more to do with my choice of weapons as well. Honorable Mentions - mostly other sniper rifles i would have listed, but i didnt want a list of top 5 sniper rifles. Shadow Sniper Rifle - i refer to this as the "Focus Rifle", the bane of my Halo 2 campaign days. while i admit i havent used this as much as the inferno or the Black Widow, its still a neat weapon, and i am a sucker for the remnant aesthetic. Inferno Sniper Rifle -a theoretically infinite clip that is only restricted by the potential to overheat, it still packs a solid punch, though the black Widow still has it beaten there. Viper Sniper rifle - has a nice mix of range, forgiveness on a missed shot, and solid damage on a hit. it also has nostaliga, as it carried me through a large portion of Mass Effect 2(that was the viper right? damnit, gotta check into that now) Isharay - if you want a one hit kill, this is THE rifle to pack. that being said, i dont use it as much becuase it has the same glaring weakness as Ushior, and that is the punishment of a missed shot, only it is a bigger window because it is a sniper rifle, not a pistol. This being said, my "standard" loadout in andromeda is "Old Faithful", a tricked out Black Widow rifle, Sweeper assault rifle, Disciple, Asari Blade, and a fill slot, usually occupied by either the Inferno sniper rifle, or the Ushior. i also pack a stealth cloak, biotic charge, and Shockwave ability set onto the Infiltrator Profile. "The gun's mine, but here, have a few rounds"
The P.A.W Is pretty decent with extra mod slots added to make it more reliable against unshielded and non-Armor combatants plus with the combat assault rifle perks set for reload speed and weight with a few ammo capacity perks you've got about a 1-3 second reload time plus factoring in the remnant weaponry have infinite ammo and if your one of those "Spray and play" type of player try remnant weaponry for few goes but be warned P.A.W Is a direct energy beam style weapon that trades damage for accuracy/Infinite ammo/Constant damage/Very little recoil while aiming
I like long range play, so I play an infiltrator using sniper rifles. I carry two of them, the N7 Valiant and the Incisor. I have plasma added to the incisor for most of my fighting. At the outer edge of combat before it all goes down I start with the Valliant. Basic controls take getting used to as you use it like a automatic machine gun but at far range, making sure to move the mouse so the shots all stay on target. As Infiltrator the way to take them down fast is to go cloak, jump up and aim which makes you hover. I have all kinds of perks that makes my hover last a long time, then just mow them all down one after another. Might have to jump a few times, but up in the air I have tons more damage added as well as increased accuracy. Use Liam, Drakk, or Cora to be the short range muscle if things get too close.
Bill Gross i play an infiltrator with just a shotgun. it worls out so well because having the stealthed damage boost with a shotgun is god damn insane. I killed the first Fiend before I even had to reload.
Favorite assault rifle so far is the sweeper, accurate at mid range, alright after 150m and its clip lasts a long time about 15 trigger pulls and fires in bursts. I only have the rank 3 atm but with my mods it does 101 damage a round eating through just about anything I've come across so far. Best part its remnant meaning no ammo limitations. Also a plasma charging carnifex is pretty fun though it only works from about 40m, but turning it into a mini grenade launcher priceless.
Would love to see a video on weapon augments and how they work when used in unique firing weapons and how they interact with each other( plasma charge and seeking plasma is awesome on a sniper)
N7 Valkyrie and the Pihrahna are all I ever need, like the whole Cryo beam, Annihilation and Lance power setup with Explorer makes them work quite nicely at close to medium ranges.
I love the Naladen's sound design, visuals, and feel but the fact that it can't do crit shots kinda ruins it as a sniper so I go Black Widow instead. The Remnant Equalizer is also seriously good at close range.
so far ive found that the vanguard profile gives the shield regen with a melee attack teams up nice with the asari sword. rozerad pistol is crazy fast but weak attack can be used well with a fire bullet and increased clip size, and the desciple is similar to the dhan but has more ammo per clip so could potentially be better with the right set up.
Sandstorm is love! Vanquisher SR, Sandstorm AR, Piranha shotty, Hurricane/Scorpion is my full loadout. Weight reduced on everything, so still 100% ability cooldown
The angaren single shot pistol is awesome as a infiltrator you augment it to have 4 mods and so that reload takes health instead of ammo. With using drain and cloak you can heal lost health without really any effort. Best part it hits like a truck if using invasion/cloak have specced weak spot or have gear it becomes insane. I personally (not entirely weakspot focused went for recharge durations ect) I have take half of a atlases health with one hit. With mods spec ect you can get up to 2-3 rounds each clip.
I use an crafted Isharay with Vintage heat sink, Full ranks of Stealth, and modded Maverick armor. Long distance head shot kills on most armored/shielded targets. For close quaters, I prefer the Valkyrie modded to punch armored targets and the Asari sword.
The N7 Valiant. It might not hit as hard as the beloved Black Widow, but it's easier to handle, and it's capacity and reload makes missing a shot a bit more forgiving.
I found this to be considerably overpowered. N7- arms,legs, helm. Hyperguardian- chest Profile- sentinel Singularity, charge, nova pirhana, with asari sword
Black Widow for long range, the thing is a beast. Sweeper AR for medium range, never run out of ammo. Dhan Shotgun for + Asari Sword close Range. Tbh Biotic Charge + annihilation + either Nova or Shockwave and Asari Sword = OP death machine. I barely fire my guns at all now.
I created an RPG rifle. Mines specifically is an Isharay Sniper with vintage heat sink and the Seeking Plasma System. Do this with any OP sniper for a nice rpg. Black Widow even.
Let's see...for auto rifles I like the following: Sandstorm, revenant, and the remnant Paw. Shot guns: the crusader, the reggar carbine (I like to fly around and do Emperor Palpetine impressions when I use it xD), the Hesh, and the remnant scattershot. Sniper rifles: My favorite is my heavily modded angaran sniper (it just makes things disappear so quickly!), also fond of the black widow and the auto sniper rifle too (the auto snipers are only for lols though ). Haven't really tried out any of the pistols yet though.
1) Black Widow - Kind of a joke this wasn't on the list 2) Talon - Recommend for early on vanguards or just a close range back up 3) Can't recall name but the remnant assault rifle that is N7 and shoots a beam. (put the take health for instant reload mod on it) - Holy fuck will you be happy. Also I use sidewinder in multiplayer and love it. Gun hits hard for its clip size and fire rate.
Black Widow with Vintage Heat Sink, 3 high powered rounds that shoot through cover and you can dodge while it cools down and if you're patient you will never need to reload just shot after shot of anti material death!
"N7 armor"? Paahh! I be rocking the green Kett armor exclusively thank you! As for weapons, I've been having a breeze with just the Krogan Hammer and PAW laser. Sure it doesn't grow more powerful the longer the beam is on like 3's Particle gun, but slam down a barricade with weapon damage boost, and you'll be an unstoppable fortress in the middle of the battlefield. The infinite ammo is also great for those bullet sponge enemies like the Architect, Remnant destroyers, and fiends.
Black Widow + Infiltrator profile + cover piercing mod. Best all-round sniper rifle in the game, ability to see enemies through walls and cover, ability to shoot through walls and cover :p
One weapon I found to be quite useful especially if you are not so good at aiming is developing an avenger assault rifle with the augmentation seeking plasma charge. The gun is available early in the game and the augmentation is relatively cheap for an ultra rare upgrade. the shots themselves are tad slower but the gun itself is light and combined with a clip extension and armor penetration, it is quite versatile when dealing with multiple shielded and unshielded enemies.
Cyclone V with sticky grenade mod, larger clip and perk that enhances damage for every consecutive hit is devastating to most enemies. Roughly 80 mini-grenades exploding on foes.
sniper rifles take a significant damage penalty when fired from the hip. Anyone suggesting you use them in that capacity obviously doesn't know a whole lot about this game or previous ME games.

Do you like the guns we picked? What guns do you like better?
Phoebe's backward gun is OP
GameSpot the falcon is really great. the accuracy and sustained damage is great for any build
GameSpot isharay is a great rifle
GameSpot the talon is great in close and medium range 1st on my list
the remnant sweeper, 3 round burst and doesn't need ammo.
Some awesome weapons right here, but I refuse to use anything else than Milky Way tech! I won't sink so low to use peasant kett equipment.
A true colonist.
what about remnant tech?
I was thinking the same, but then I discovered the Angara sniper and the Kett shotgun. My eyes have been opened. I have ascended beyond, exalted from my milky way tech. See what I did there ;)
Classthis try the remnant they're weapons are awesome
I don't like any of the Kett or Remnant weapons myself they just don't hit as hard. Plus they look like ass.
if you like sniper rifles, craft the Black Widow. It's just as devastating as it was in ME3.
DenyThisFlesh An even better weapon to crAft: The Black Nurger
DenyThisFlesh it is amazing
You pale krackur!
currently I use a the valiant instead. Not a much pershot damage but it's got a 5 round mag and I can dump all 5 shots in the 3 second cloak damage buff. Pretty great for big targets. I haven't got a widow yet. Will have to give it a go tonight.
DenyThisFlesh I don't think he knows about the guns in mass effect. he said the forgot pistol was great, you all know better that gun sucks
i feel like im the only one who made an asari sword instead of the krogan hammer. its dope with the explorer profile.
thedraco7 yep I'm trying to get it. Any idea where I can find vandulim?
Thegreenbeanfightingmachine eos
@thedraco7 I love the Asari sword! Looks visually perfect with my Biotic build too :D
Rolling with a sword and cloak is rad.
little slow for my taste because you have to keep blinking with each attack. Me i prefer the angaran shivs, the krogan hammer and the angaran shiv have the highest dps melee weapons in the game (i think the krogan hammer edges slightly). not bashing the asari sword the blink is great and it has a nice sweep
I miss Miranda's canons. I'm only human after all.
Won't put the blame on you.
Thank you kind sir.
she carries around several pairs...which ones are you referring to?
sorry, but thefuckin Hanar had curves in all the right places...
I hate how ugly they made all asari,...
N7 Hurricane that's all you need
My brother. That and just incase a reegar.
scalan15 the hurricane has carried me through many multiplayer matches.
Craft with the Seeker Plasma Augment.
The hurricane in single player?
Yep, that's what I use. The Hurricane and Black Widow.
Gamespot talked so much shit about this game yet it seems they clearly still play the game A LOT.. hilarious
Quick bit of info for ya....in fact its kinda their thing to get paid for playing games
It's a really long game with great moments in-between a lot of padding.
Jamaal Calhoun they talked shit about it because it wasn't good.
they produce content for it, because it's popular and gets them views.
hilarious that in 2017 you still don't understand this
It's new so its in their best interests to talk about it, besides, they can still cover something they were overall disappointed in
Hypocrisy and self servitude at it's finest. It's not that the game isn't good. It's just that it doesn't live up to it's predecessors. Gamespot seems to have rated it against the previous games in the trilogy as it's scale vs how it stands on it's own as a game.

The only gun I use is PAW Remnant Assault Rifle, rapidly fires max accuracy beams with almost no recoil and has unlimited ammo with very high damage and large clip size.
LittleHampie89 I put the electric augment on it...oh man
The Flying Spaghetti Monster I just really like how the frostbite engine renders electricity
Milky Way points are the easiest ones to get, I have 3000 of them now but it's because I have the Research Cryo Pod that gives me 100 Milky Way points an hour.
Put the mod that uses health to reload instantly. So worth it
standard version is fire based I believe, if you energy beam it it becomes electric. Fire is good vs armour, electric vs shields. I have the equaliser with electric for shields and the P.A.W for armour melting
The Carnifex Backwards Hand Cannon
I want it.
Yeah bro. Overkill with few shots
No love for the sandstorm?! It's the mattock of the andromeda galaxy!
Adam Leofsky all I have been using
the firerate could use a slight buff tho
Isn't there actually a Mattock in the Andromeda galaxy?
That's my gun been pretty good with a black widow kett sword
I would iken it more to the Raptor, because of the scope, but yes, definitely a contender for best semi-auto in the game.
Can I just say that I love the Reeger which so happens to be named after Kal Reeger from ME2 😌
xTGE It's my favorite gun
why does the 60 fps seems more fluid in ME Andromeda than in any other game?! Is it just me, or does it really looks super smooth?
André Schulz Frostbite is a helluva engine. I don't know about consoles but the reason it is so smooth is probably because of the really good frame buffering implementation and coupled with a good vsync and this game feels real smooth even at 40fps.
60fps = 60fps
thats like saying my 100km/h my car makes are somewhat different to another cars 100km/h
Makes no sense.
André Schulz What? If it's 60 FPS, it will look like other 60 FPS games.
I know....but playing something like Ghost recon in 60 fps and ME Andromeda...ME looks more fluid...I know it sounds stupid and all but thats just what I perceive
Frame pacing is also a thing; 60 FPS with random frame intervals is way worse than 60 FPS with 1 frame exactly every 16.66ms
We need the Cerberus Harrier back. 😁
You still got the Mattock. It's basically the same gun anyways. ;)
The Harrier is there just under a different name,I think it L-68 something but basically it's a gray full auto Mattock you'll probably find it on Kadara, that's where I saw it
L-89 Halberd, sadly its just a punchier mattock and doesnt have the fullauto of the harrier
all the assault rifles are bad in every ME game except for the Harrier.
M Row There still is the M-5 Lancer
Love the Valkyrie rifle. 2 shot burst, HIGH dmg per shot, lots of ammo, great accuarcy (I snipe with it) and good rate of fire.
Best rifle in game imo
Whats wrong with the Sidewider? It is possibly my favorite gun in the game, though I do have a weakness for revolver style weapons.
Ian B nothing. my favorite too. especially with the strait line plasma mod.
Mine too and with the bio-reconstitution or whatever mod you can fire the thing without ever having to reload.
I agree I got it in multiplayer and love it.
Sidewinder is 5/10 it can hardly take out an observer shield.
Erron Black lol nice troll. Use it for my gold runs paired up with the isharay
I want the backwards gun.
Seriously it just happened in one cut scene and people still can't pass it.
lonewolfreaper21 I heard that you have to kill Peebee to own that
DowntoFunk Come on though, that's just shoddy work. I expect more from Bioware.
lonewolfreaper21 You have to kill Peebee in order to get that gun.
you mean the Xefinrac?
Remnant Sweeper Assault rifle with homing plasma augment, its on heatsinks so no need to pick up ammo crates, and you can hit anything, even things in cover. what else do you really need? (also use heat infusion ammo augment for that bonus damage)
Acedia67 I didn't make it like that because I thought it made it had ammo. I guess I'll make another one
nah the remnant weapons all use heat sinks (at least the ones ive devoted research too.) so no worries on ammo!
Yeah its the perfect weapon to spam while abilities are on cooldown. Also give you more freedom to use the low ammo but heavy hitter pieces as the second weapon so you can pack a punch when you need to without the worry that you'll end up high and dry.
I'll be honest my secondary weapon is that Kett smg that ramps up fire the longer you hold down the trigger, also with homing plasma. I really just like being able to knock stuff out of cover so i can go to work as the vanguard im meant to be.
Acedia67 agreed, the only issue I have is finding more rem points to research the higher tier versions after I mistakenly made the rem armor
Before I get into my loadout, here's a tip that took me half the game to realize, for those that don't know. When you dismantle a weapon or armor that you crafted, you get all of the augments back along with a portion of the spent resources. This is especially helpful when you want to build weapons to test (for weird augments that are N7 rarity).
Here's my current loadout:
Piranha with vintage clip, dual mod addition, kinetic in last 3 slots.
P.A.W. with seeking plasma, dual mod addition, kinetic, kinetic, tech dmg. This is my melt targets gun. I use it in mid-semi close range and when my sweeper is cooling (swapping remnant weapons is faster than waiting for the cooling period)
Sweeper with dual mod addition, kinetic in last 3 slots. Probably my favorite gun, shame it's only a gold. It would be really nasty with 5 augments.
Black Widow with seeker plasma, dual mods, and 3 kinetic. I'm still not completely sure how I feel about this Rifle. It hits like a train (800+ dmg with augs and mods) and has a 3 round "clip" but the plasma rounds move slow, and worse still, they track to center mass instead of where you aim on the target. I'm probably going to scrap this one and make an Isharay with dual mods and max kinetic.
Keep in mind that I've got the extra augment slot unlocked through cryo points so I've got 5 augment slots on N7 rank weapons, 4 slots on gold, 3 on silver, and 2 on bronze.
The gun I use most is the N7 Eagle Pistol. It's pretty good. The gun is fully automatic.
Joshua Ferrell bro, my fav weapon. with my biotic build, I use a 2 pistol load out. when I finally had enough copper, I already researched lvl3. I'm just blowing through kett. I upped the difficulty to hard to give em a chance lol
I almost exclusively use the isharay. Only one shot per clip, but it's usually all you need. It packs enormous punch in that one bullet.
DAHN do not have 10 ammo capacity
mine has 42 lel
Sandstorm with heatsink and double modslot. Gets you a powerful DMR that never goes dry and makes for a solid go to for mid range combat.
the black widow is a beast and makes enemys do backflips
Indeed
Isharay with vintage heatsink, if you're accurate with headshots and max out sniper tree that thing can 1 shot a lot of enemies. Added bonus of no need to search for ammo in between fights. P.A.W with tech based mods was a great go to weapon as an engineer. It cuts through armour with ease as its fire based and with ammo mods it lasts a long time before recharges
I also used an equaliser converted to energy beam to melt shields off targets at close range
Fuck the hate this game is raw
The PAW assault rifle is amaaaazing. It hits so fast, doesn't run out of bullets, and the damage is pretty substantive. The Asari sword is also really strong, as it's attack also doubles as a dodge.
IGN; Trash talks the game and continues to make info videos about it because there's bills they need to pay 😉😂😘
i love the widow sniper 1 or 2 shoots depends on the target if it has a shield and the mag is 4 but can get 5 or more with mods and upgrades
*M8 AVENGER* or _gtfo_
Henry Albrecht it sucks tho
Thankfully they gave its classic scope back, I missed that look in me3 so much
Henry Albrecht avenger is classic, I used it up until the final mission.
Henry Albrecht m8a1?
remnant paw with plasma bolt seekers. never run out of ammo and you can blind fire from cover, and still hit anything. takes getting used to, but essentially hip fire forever. include clip increasing mods with penetration and damage increase.
the venom shotgun is awesome because it fires grenades and has a charge function which releases more grenades for more explosions per trigger pull.
Augment a Cyclone Assault Rifle with the sticky grenade augmentation. Instead of spraying your enemies with bullets, you are now spraying them with sticky grenades. Explosions everywhere.
the Piranha looks so brutal, perfect fit for my soldier playthru.
i run isharay on my agent playthru but i miss too many shots. should enroll in the stormtroopers.
the ushior is a beast and with a scope mod it makes for a great back up for the sniper rifle
Currently using the Venom shotgun, is both a shotgun and a grenade launcher,charge it up before shooting and it fires a cluster grenade with multiple explosions.
Huge fan of the P.A.W. myself. Played a tech based with the Turret and Remnant AI drone and the PAW and I never had to stop for ammo and was getting very consistant head shots (which is impressive given how bad I am at FPS generally).
Shoot for a bit them move to new cover, use my energy drain and shoot some more. Occasionaly drained a charge and had to wait for refresh but just used a Pistol backup for 2-3 shots then went back to the PAW. Insanely accurate and light end game and with the right mods like Fire Mod (+25% damage) and extra slots this thing was nasty.
P.A.W Remanant Rifle with homing plasma mod ..you will never need anything else ever again. It's an energy weapon (no ammo needed) with 37 shots before over heating (and a really short cooldown even if overheated), with 600 fire rate if I remember right. It looks like firing a swarm of angry little energy bees that track down and decimate you target. It just eats them alive and all you have to do is hold the fire button for like 2 seconds (precise targeting not required, just aim in the general direction)
Sparda11222 true man...I had to grind for resources alot...but when I found that combination.....it was so worth the effort..... a really enjoyable weapon and quite powerful too..
I have the anergy streams mod and my rifle fires a powerful beam of mad energy that devastates Shields and melts anything I use it on......am really, really having a blast with this game and it's crafting....now I feel like an absolute idiot for almost trusting the reviews... so glad I didn't.!!!
there is an angaran pistol that holds one round and does more damage than most sniper rifles. it works pretty well as a backup gun when you put the shield oscillator mod on it. every time you fire it you get 25% of your shields back.
Sandstorm and Phalanx are my two favorites so far. I use the Hurricane too, but I'm not usually in the right scenarios to use it effectively
Hornet for close to mid range and Carnifex for mid to long range. Plus, because they weigh so little, you have really fast power recharge rates. Between constant powers, the bullet hose, and headshots from the hand cannon no one stands a chance.
The N7 Valkyrie Assault Rifle is literally the only gun I use. It's a two burst gun that can kill a normal kett with a single trigger pull, add in turbocharge and maybe invasion and you just melt even Architects.
n7 Avenger, has been my go to assault rifle, the accurate two round burst with upgraded combat profile, for increased critical damage and headshots, makes most enemies a breeze.
P.A.W. assault rifle with the electric augment. Basically a Reeger Carbine with infinite ammo, high range, and pinpoint accuracy. It also decimates stuff.
The Raptor sniper rifle with fire rate modifiers. Tears through most shields in one clip, kills damn near everything in another. It's almost a sniper SMG. Even effective at hip-fire and spray-and-pray from cover.
Isharay with the maverick armor and the infiltrator profile. Very rarely do you have to 2 shot an enemy. Spec everything into headshot/weakpoint damage.
With the Isharay V I did 3,560 damage per headshot/weakpoint.
I pack a heavily modified pair of sniper rifles for my Infiltrator, no other guns necessary: The N7 Valiant "Widowmaker" (Custom name) and the Black Widow "Doombringer". Add in enough mods/augments specialize in gun weight reduction and improve damage, and all your fights become shooting ranges.
the sword kett carfalon gives back shield not because of his attack, but because the profile, you have to put it on Vanguard profile so you would get some % of shield back when you melee the enemy
Reegar carbine absolutely shreds anyone with shields even after they go down, and the scattershot remnant shotgun does great damage with infinite ammo (all remnant guns) and with the explosive plasma augmentation has 4 high explosive rounds that near instantly refill.
a widowmaker with increased ammo capacity and damage boost along with it increased clip size augmentations all fantastic and all make for a great one shot kill to anything
For a pure Milky Way lover like me.... This is my build
1. Blackwidow (Demigod of sniper, you can kill Fiend in 3 bullets headshot, other than that... 1 hit kill)
2. M7 Avenger or Valkrye Rifle... OR... you can bring a shotgun (Good for group enemies)
3. Carnifex Pistol (High damage, slow rate of fire) or N7 Eagle (my demigod of pistol)
You can do a Biotic build or tech build with this setup
So guys, how about that
damage / max clip = damage per bullet -->
--> Damage per bullet * rate of fire = damage per full clip
Now the tricky part, some guns have extreme power, mostly single shot weapons like the Isharay. I tried to capture the reloading time, so for more accuracy I'd simply divide rate of fire with reloading time. Which in my cases are:
Valkyre: ~3,1 seconds
Sidewinder: ~2,2 seconds
Disciple: ~3,3 seconds
Isharay: ~4,2 seconds
For example:
Isharay X:
1372 damage / 1 clip = 1372 damage * (75 fire rate / 4,2 reload time =17,86) = 24.503,92
Widows X:
19.205,76
Valkyrie X:
7042,99
Falcon X:
2733,66
Disciple X:
8017,8
Crusader X:
5363,1
Sidewinder X:
7155,95
Carnifex X:
3226,95
Ushior X:
39.094,49!!!
I have no clue if I'm even right btw, so feel free to correct me guys
I use the Paw Assault Rifle with Inferno Sniper Rifle and Disciple shotgun all custom. Never need ammo except for the shotgun. Disciple has +2 mods and seeking plasma bolts. Inferno has +2 mods 35% accuracy while hovering and + 3 weapon damage. Great setup for low ammo areas, but it's all I need for the whole game.
I prefer to use the P.A.W Assault Rifle that you can research with your Remnant points. Consistent damage, doesn't use ammo, and cools down pretty quickly. It takes out regular grunts quickly, and can really whittle down an Ascendant or Architect.
Spectre for life.
Avenger with vintage heat sinks (vHS) and burst fire or the Hornet with vHS, Widow with vHSand upgraded ammo capacity (one shot is all i need), Predator M-9 pistol with vHS and plasma.
Simple, sweet and effective.
Tried a whole bunch of guns, but after you try the Sweeper you never need any other weapon. Incredible damage and accuracy at any range. Doesn't need bullets either. If you're pressed for weight, this is the only gun you ever need to bring on any mission and on any difficulty. A lot of people vote for the PAW, but that gun does paltry damage compared to this one and it doesn't require you to fire a constant beam either.
my go-to loadout was the Black Widow sniper rifle, Disciple shotgun (nothing remarkable, but powerful and easy to craft)
Valkyrie assault rifle and the n7 hurricane SMG
the ultimate weapon of death is the sniper rifle "isharay" BUT you need to boost it a Little. Firstly by increesing your cap size up to two shots. And then you need to craft a special perk which autofills your ammo without reloading but it takes 5% of your hp each time. to help you ignore that i advise to boost up your shields and add a perk that reduces your Total hp by 50% and increases your shields by 50%. if still you have some problems with keeping your shields up, you can use the "bionic skill that makes you dash towards enemy" and one of the upgrades makes it refill your shields.
Over all, in my actual build i use ishary as a long-range weapon (100-200m) mid-range weapon (50-100m) and as a shotgun with no scopes. Btw. scince you don't need any ammo now, the only thing you will be looking for in a long missions are health packs and belive me they aren't needed as often as you think.
if you want pure killing power.
N7 Piranha With Homing rounds and the "health cost for instant clip reload" augmentation... This crafted gun will kill anything in seconds on normal from very good range. Hold trigger and watch stuff die...
Soned with Vintage Heatsink and Homing rounds. Literally a minigun that you dont have to aim... just hold the trigger and watch stuff in front of you die.
Combine this with the soldier profile, with the Overdrive and tactical (combat) cloak abilities and on command you can kill nearly any target in seconds and clear rooms without really having to aim.
Disciple Shotgun with a Kett Plasma Augment. Heat seeking shot is pretty awesome.
My top 5 favorite weapons in the game, function over aesthetic, but some are both.
1. Black Widow sniper rifle. "Old Faithful". this is a one hit kill against the average enemy, with only a few select enemies being able to sustain a headshot and survive. it also packs a solid punch on a bodyshot, though it won't kill your average grunt, a second shot following that will *usually* end them.
2. Sweeper Assault Rifle - a Remnant AR, this burst fire weapon to me felt similar to the Argus in ME3, and the Battle Rifle in halo, some of my favorite weapons, aside from most sniper rifles(i really like my sniper rifles)
3. Disciple - im not really sure how this one stacks up against the other shotguns in the game, but i picked it up so i have a shotgun in my loadout, and i recalled it serving me well in ME3. aesthetically i really like it, it isn't as jagged as most of the other shotguns.
5. Ushior - this handcannon is a great fallback plan if an enemy gets too close to zoom in on an enemy and i overheat my sweeper(usually happens with the Fiends). i like the pistol mostly for the ability to chunk an enemy, but its 1 shot clip makes its greatest strength its greatest weakness - you have a 5 second vulnerability window after you fire. personally this beats the scorpion for me, but it really didn't do much for me in ME3, and i didn't give it a chance in the new galaxy.
4. Asari Blade - this blade to me feels very similar to the blade wielded by the Cerberus Shadow units.(that was the shadows right? i get them crossed with their sniper counterparts) past that, they pack decent punch, and, unless im going crazy(wouldn't be shocked), the weapon also gives you a few invulnerability frames, while you blink around. it also has the benefit of being a milky way weapon, so its easy to reseach(for me with my cryo picks at least) and it was relatively cheap for me to make in materials as well, though that may have more to do with my choice of weapons as well.
Honorable Mentions - mostly other sniper rifles i would have listed, but i didnt want a list of top 5 sniper rifles.
Shadow Sniper Rifle - i refer to this as the "Focus Rifle", the bane of my Halo 2 campaign days. while i admit i havent used this as much as the inferno or the Black Widow, its still a neat weapon, and i am a sucker for the remnant aesthetic.
Inferno Sniper Rifle -a theoretically infinite clip that is only restricted by the potential to overheat, it still packs a solid punch, though the black Widow still has it beaten there.
Viper Sniper rifle - has a nice mix of range, forgiveness on a missed shot, and solid damage on a hit. it also has nostaliga, as it carried me through a large portion of Mass Effect 2(that was the viper right? damnit, gotta check into that now)
Isharay - if you want a one hit kill, this is THE rifle to pack. that being said, i dont use it as much becuase it has the same glaring weakness as Ushior, and that is the punishment of a missed shot, only it is a bigger window because it is a sniper rifle, not a pistol.
This being said, my "standard" loadout in andromeda is "Old Faithful", a tricked out Black Widow rifle, Sweeper assault rifle, Disciple, Asari Blade, and a fill slot, usually occupied by either the Inferno sniper rifle, or the Ushior. i also pack a stealth cloak, biotic charge, and Shockwave ability set onto the Infiltrator Profile. "The gun's mine, but here, have a few rounds"
The P.A.W Is pretty decent with extra mod slots added to make it more reliable against unshielded and non-Armor combatants plus with the combat assault rifle perks set for reload speed and weight with a few ammo capacity perks you've got about a 1-3 second reload time plus factoring in the remnant weaponry have infinite ammo and if your one of those "Spray and play" type of player try remnant weaponry for few goes but be warned P.A.W Is a direct energy beam style weapon that trades damage for accuracy/Infinite ammo/Constant damage/Very little recoil while aiming
i found the Reegar carbine within the first 3 hours and am still using it, it was my favorite back in ME3 multiplayer
I like long range play, so I play an infiltrator using sniper rifles. I carry two of them, the N7 Valiant and the Incisor. I have plasma added to the incisor for most of my fighting. At the outer edge of combat before it all goes down I start with the Valliant. Basic controls take getting used to as you use it like a automatic machine gun but at far range, making sure to move the mouse so the shots all stay on target. As Infiltrator the way to take them down fast is to go cloak, jump up and aim which makes you hover. I have all kinds of perks that makes my hover last a long time, then just mow them all down one after another. Might have to jump a few times, but up in the air I have tons more damage added as well as increased accuracy. Use Liam, Drakk, or Cora to be the short range muscle if things get too close.
Bill Gross i play an infiltrator with just a shotgun. it worls out so well because having the stealthed damage boost with a shotgun is god damn insane. I killed the first Fiend before I even had to reload.
The Vanquisher sniper rifle is an absolute beast in Single Player and especially Multiplayer.
Favorite assault rifle so far is the sweeper, accurate at mid range, alright after 150m and its clip lasts a long time about 15 trigger pulls and fires in bursts. I only have the rank 3 atm but with my mods it does 101 damage a round eating through just about anything I've come across so far. Best part its remnant meaning no ammo limitations.
Also a plasma charging carnifex is pretty fun though it only works from about 40m, but turning it into a mini grenade launcher priceless.
Would love to see a video on weapon augments and how they work when used in unique firing weapons and how they interact with each other( plasma charge and seeking plasma is awesome on a sniper)
Dhan and Asari Sword is my current Vanguard favourite kit, with Black Widow and Carnifex as my sniper kit.
Revenant Assault MG and Black Widow Sniper Rifle... with those two you are guaranteed maximum pain on anything at any distance.
Remnant P.A.W. Assault Rifle! It's like the Prothean beam gun from the Javik DLC in ME3
N7 Valkyrie and the Pihrahna are all I ever need, like the whole Cryo beam, Annihilation and Lance power setup with Explorer makes them work quite nicely at close to medium ranges.
I was able to make an m7 lancer using a m8 avenger blueprint and a beam emitter augment
I love the Naladen's sound design, visuals, and feel but the fact that it can't do crit shots kinda ruins it as a sniper so I go Black Widow instead. The Remnant Equalizer is also seriously good at close range.
Sweeper with the sticky grenade augmentation is perfect
so far ive found that the vanguard profile gives the shield regen with a melee attack teams up nice with the asari sword. rozerad pistol is crazy fast but weak attack can be used well with a fire bullet and increased clip size, and the desciple is similar to the dhan but has more ammo per clip so could potentially be better with the right set up.
Sandstorm is love! Vanquisher SR, Sandstorm AR, Piranha shotty, Hurricane/Scorpion is my full loadout. Weight reduced on everything, so still 100% ability cooldown
The angaren single shot pistol is awesome as a infiltrator you augment it to have 4 mods and so that reload takes health instead of ammo. With using drain and cloak you can heal lost health without really any effort.
Best part it hits like a truck if using invasion/cloak have specced weak spot or have gear it becomes insane. I personally (not entirely weakspot focused went for recharge durations ect) I have take half of a atlases health with one hit. With mods spec ect you can get up to 2-3 rounds each clip.
The M-36 Falcon V assault rigle, Disciple VI shotgun and the Widow V sniper rifle works great at all 3 ranges for me
I use an crafted Isharay with Vintage heat sink, Full ranks of Stealth, and modded Maverick armor. Long distance head shot kills on most armored/shielded targets.
For close quaters, I prefer the Valkyrie modded to punch armored targets and the Asari sword.
The N7 Valiant. It might not hit as hard as the beloved Black Widow, but it's easier to handle, and it's capacity and reload makes missing a shot a bit more forgiving.
piranha with seeking plasma mod, revenant/ghost with antique thermal clip, asari sword, falcon with sticky mod
I found this to be considerably overpowered. N7- arms,legs, helm. Hyperguardian- chest
Profile- sentinel
Singularity, charge, nova
pirhana, with asari sword
Sorry meant Vanguard my bad
Black Widow for long range, the thing is a beast.
Sweeper AR for medium range, never run out of ammo.
Dhan Shotgun for + Asari Sword close Range.
Tbh Biotic Charge + annihilation + either Nova or Shockwave and Asari Sword = OP death machine. I barely fire my guns at all now.
I created an RPG rifle. Mines specifically is an Isharay Sniper with vintage heat sink and the Seeking Plasma System.
Do this with any OP sniper for a nice rpg. Black Widow even.
Let's see...for auto rifles I like the following: Sandstorm, revenant, and the remnant Paw. Shot guns: the crusader, the reggar carbine (I like to fly around and do Emperor Palpetine impressions when I use it xD), the Hesh, and the remnant scattershot. Sniper rifles: My favorite is my heavily modded angaran sniper (it just makes things disappear so quickly!), also fond of the black widow and the auto sniper rifle too (the auto snipers are only for lols though ). Haven't really tried out any of the pistols yet though.
1) Black Widow - Kind of a joke this wasn't on the list
2) Talon - Recommend for early on vanguards or just a close range back up
3) Can't recall name but the remnant assault rifle that is N7 and shoots a beam. (put the take health for instant reload mod on it) - Holy fuck will you be happy.
Also I use sidewinder in multiplayer and love it. Gun hits hard for its clip size and fire rate.
Black Widow with Vintage Heat Sink, 3 high powered rounds that shoot through cover and you can dodge while it cools down and if you're patient you will never need to reload just shot after shot of anti material death!
Pffft guns are for weepy pyjacks all you need is a Krogan with a headbutt.
I LOVE the P.A.W. Remnant assault rifle. With clip size and additional damage, the thing is a beast.
I have a N7 Valkyrie with electric rounds built-in and a vintage heat sinc, kicks ass
Mod the normal Kett shotty with explosive plasma shells and giggle with glee. It decimates son.
Remnant weapons are great, I prefer the P.A.W. and Scattershot combo personally. Forget ever worrying about ammo.
"N7 armor"? Paahh! I be rocking the green Kett armor exclusively thank you!
As for weapons, I've been having a breeze with just the Krogan Hammer and PAW laser. Sure it doesn't grow more powerful the longer the beam is on like 3's Particle gun, but slam down a barricade with weapon damage boost, and you'll be an unstoppable fortress in the middle of the battlefield.
The infinite ammo is also great for those bullet sponge enemies like the Architect, Remnant destroyers, and fiends.
Isharay to their heads, used to run a black widow instead, but the math raises Isharay higher, plus an N7 eagle for CQC enemies.
"I regret you, sidewinder" ... how dare you, blasphemy!
Katana, the Sky Cracking boom it has when fired outdoors is all you need.
Black Widow + Infiltrator profile + cover piercing mod.
Best all-round sniper rifle in the game, ability to see enemies through walls and cover, ability to shoot through walls and cover :p
One weapon I found to be quite useful especially if you are not so good at aiming is developing an avenger assault rifle with the augmentation seeking plasma charge. The gun is available early in the game and the augmentation is relatively cheap for an ultra rare upgrade. the shots themselves are tad slower but the gun itself is light and combined with a clip extension and armor penetration, it is quite versatile when dealing with multiple shielded and unshielded enemies.
Cyclone V with sticky grenade mod, larger clip and perk that enhances damage for every consecutive hit is devastating to most enemies. Roughly 80 mini-grenades exploding on foes.
YES! I'm not the only one who regretted getting the sidewinder.
I've got a cyclone that fires sticky grenades, and another cyclone that fires homing plasma rounds
sniper rifles take a significant damage penalty when fired from the hip. Anyone suggesting you use them in that capacity obviously doesn't know a whole lot about this game or previous ME games.
