What's a good gun to replace the typhoon

I think you need to make up your mind first.

You want, lemme see,
+ kill bosses
+ close quarter, e.g elbow punch and banshee on ramp
+ but also want to reach out
+ no ramp up
+ big punch
+ kill phantoms
+ and kill mooks
---------------------
= Claymore
(It is a one shot, reload cancel liability though (Hsol excused)).

But, if you are willing to split the duties, there are more options
for example: GPS+Hurricane
+ want to reach out
+ kill phantoms
+ and kill mooks
+ big punch stagger)
---------------------
GPS

+ kill bosses
+ close quarter, e.g elbow punch and banshee on ramp
+ no ramp up
+ big punch

N7 Hurricane

Putting all the good advice together gives a really good kit. I took one rank off the Destroyer's missiles to get three ranks of DM, which is all that's needed for the PPR, which I had never used before.

I leave DM off and rely on the Talon for most situations, so I keep the speed and dodge, and only lose the extra missiles. When the bosses are out, DM goes on and the PPR takes over. No problem tanking banshees on the ramps, even a pair of them.

The one surprise is that the DM plus HCB plus AR Amp mod with AP4 ammo makes the PPR TOO strong. Takes the fun out of the game. I switched the AR Amp to pistol amp, and switched the HCB to piercing, and it plays better.

No doubt the typhoon would also be good with this kit. Now my Trooper can go back to a Claymore kit. It's all good. Thanks to all.

Ahh, the Revenant.  Last time I used that was on the Shadow.  That was, uhh, interesting.  Highly impractical, but lots of fun.

But as for the topic, Harrier and PPR are the obvious comparable choices, and the Revenant is certainly an option if you can settle for the lower DPS.  Though you are pretty much asking for a weapon that is good at absolutely everything, which doesn't really exist (aside from the Harrier I guess, though it is lacking in ammo capacity).  My advice, just keep trying out random weapons until you find one that you like.  You never know what will happen.  I've ended up loving some rather odd choices of weapons on some kits, simply because it fit my playstyle better then the recommended choices for that kit.

Use your awareness to not get staggered and fire from a distance. You should be able to kill anything before it gets to stagger you. You can also use cover (hard and soft) to avoid geting staggered. Consider maxing cover penetration and shoot the enemy through obstacles - it goes well with Typhoon.

You don't need to replace the gun, you need to replace the character. You need the GI.

A few other viable options would be the venom with incendiary or disruptor ammo. It's a good crowd control weapon and boss killer once you get the pattern. The crusader would be good if it didn't act up off host. If you do host, put a heavy barrel on it and some phasics and you have a sniper shotty. Since it's on disc the hvb penalty won't take effect so long as you don't go back to the weapons selection after 1 more character select. Also the crusader has native np, the hvb just adds on the armor mitigation and an extra near meter of ap.

Also some things to consider for the typhoon.

1. after ramp up it gets a 1.5x damage multiplier.
2. has native armor penetration up to 1 meter like all other weapons with native ap.
3. Incendiary Ammo 2 and above will add to it and melt everything

Like may other ultras at V is when it gets good. You just have to roll with the punches. Another thing to consider is if low on phasics/warp/disruptor, use the acolyte. It's a shield stripper and does it's job well. One of the few guns that does what it says on the tin. It lite enough to be the backup in any kit. Another similar option is the talon w/hb. The talon is another weapon not effected by the weight penalty. It's more less a long range pocket shotgun that does a good amount of shield/barrier damage. Along with an ap mod it's an all around package to consider.

Think about a more fluid play style. That will help in using any of kits you have without limiting your options.

I'd like to once again echo the sentiments expressed by capn and others above. Whilst many good options have been given, the typhoon IS a great gun on the right characters, and essentially unmatched on those characters.

Devastator Mode Destroyer and the Typhoon are made for each other, regardless of weapon level (Used Typhoon II on a no-nade Typhoon on my alt account yesterday, I missiled ONE target, and otherwise used nothing during the match, took AR amp and Drill Rounds, out-scored even my long-time good friend who's been maxed out for a long time, it's a beautiful combination).

Flamerless GT will find little better offerings than a Typhoon, the wallhaxing of gun and character combine into a freak of unseen death. The trick to this character is not exposing yourself, use your Hunter Mode combined with Typhoon's innate AP, heavy piercing barrel, extended magazine, and drill rounds to destroy things through ALMOST any wall in the game, whilst not being attacked due to the intervening wall. As with all no-cooldown characters, take a sidearm, usually of shotgun flair. If hosting Cerb or Platinum, take a Venom, otherwise, Claymore, Raider, and Piranha are all great options, hell my alt account often runs Revenant+Raider combo on him and does well.

TSol can also do some silly stuff with the Typhoon, the insta-reload of Marksman is like popping a TCP (which, btw, is basically the best thing ever. Hot reloads on the Typhoon will melt spawn groups on Platinum), the increased RoF (assuming it exceeds Framerate restrictions on RoF, probably not much of a problem on PC, but RoF bonii don't always apply on PS3 due to framerate if you don't have enough for another "breakpoint") and Increased accuracy (not entirely necessary, I usually get 20 Headshots with the Typhoon on PS3 anyway, so shouldn't be too hard on PC) are just icing on the cake. This is one of the cases where the Typhoon is simply a great option, not the best, the TSol's OPness is so versatile that other guns, even less-used ones can shine in unexpected ways, personally, I like the Eagle/BPP combo, Eagle's stream of headshots destroys mooks, and BPP is surprisingly good against bosses (Bigger hitbox and Armour bonus).

Outside of these characters, the Typhoon is either just an OK option, or not worth using over something lighter (like the Lancer, the jack-of-all-trades gun of the game, or the Hurricane, a broken piece of ammo eating bad ideas that melts mobs in ways its weight-class shouldn't). The Typhoon has the distinct pleasure of being one of the few guns that can compete with the truly broken tier guns like the Harrier and the Hurricane, the unfortunate part is that it is not as universal.

It's also totally OK to not the like the gun - I am a big fan of Carnage and Hawk Missile Launcher - you will ALWAYS do better with a gun and character setup that suits YOU than what is considered OP.

Adas or Striker. I hear they're pretty decent on characters designed for the Typhoon.

I haven't done a Destroyer run in forever, and I remembered that I never tried him with an Indra. Feels very similar to Hunter Mode Indra, only on a way more moribund (and for me, a bit boring) character. The Hydra missiles and Indra + DM felt quite nice as an overall combo.

You forgot the other acceptable Brophoon setup, it's also slightly less than -200%, but still deals with Phantoms on-host, and everything else.
