The Ushior Pistol

Really? With the Carnifex downgraded to uncommon and the Paladin missing, I was hoping it would be a good heavy-hitting, slow-firing pistol.

Hurricane and Piranha would like a word with you.

On topic.. the Ushior is the hottest of garbage. I can't even wrap my head around what Bioware was thinking. How could a single shot pistol have damage so low as to not even take half a basic trooper's health with a headshot. So dumb. Beyond dumb.

This is currently my highest ultra rare at rank 4, I still don't have a piranha or hurricane. As you can imagine I'm pretty triggered. This gun is so stupid. if they buffed the damage by 100% I still don't think people would use it tbh. Needs about a 100% damage boost and a 100% faster reload, then I'd maybe consider it. Right now it's like a widow with 50% less damage, who would use that? Answer is no one. I mean I don't even like the widow or even the isharay because without reload cancelling the reload is just unbearable on those guns.

No idea what they were thinking with this, it's bascially a 100% troll weapon. Other ultra rares like valkyrie, eagle  and PAW (such a joke compared to the prothean particle rifle)are really bad but this one takes the cake.

Every ultra rare other than hurricane, piranha, valiant and black widow need huge buffs. I hear many people aren't even that happy with the piranha allthough I imagine it will be better once they fix smart choke.

I unlocked it the other night. Boy was I disappointed.
Billed as a high damage single shot monster.
Pop a Chosen in the head with my one shot.
40% health shaven off.

_{No wonder the Angarans are in such a bad state of affairs.}

The Ushior is fine if you take it for what it is: an accurate side arm that deals a lot of damage in one shot. The Ushior isn't meant to be a main weapon at all, obviously. MEAMP is clearly designed around the idea that you should have a side weapon anyway: now reloading most weapons cost more than just switching between your two weapons. The Ushior is the best weapon to have to inflict large amount of damage in one shot to finish off mobs, short to long range. Expecting the Widow or even the Executionner isn't reasonable.

I wouldn't disagree with a little buff on weight though.

Who carries two guns? Everyone's fist is like a Krogan's forehead.


Stop using the Avenger I then

I think some people here mix Mass effect with Battlefield.
Or never played ME3MP.

I think BW and Talon are pretty dope UR's, but I didn't get a Vanquisher so I can't compare.

Talon blows all other shotguns out of the water tough. Perfectly fine as main weapon, just as it was in ME3. I mean it's better than most (all? I don't have any URs) shotguns at lvl I.

Besides that, the Kett UR shotgun is broken strong in SP compared to other ones, like claymore level damage with 2 shots in the clip, that one could also be worth noting.

Woah Woah Woah, don't lump the wraith in with those guns.

First, apologies on my side, if I sounded aggressive. I just wanted to express that i clearly disagree with your sidearm theory, for all the following reasons.

The Talon can kill mooks on a soldier with Supercharge or what-the-name-of-the-power-that-makes-guns-go-pewpew across half the map, making it a perfectly viable main weapon.

Since Ushior and Talon are, for whatever dumb reason, both pistols, the Classification of pistols as sidearms doesn´t work. So, basically, within the category of pistols you have good weapons ( the talon ) and sidearms ( the Ushior ) - how does that make sense?

Every weapon in this game is balanced by weight, ammo capacity, damage, fire rate, etc. - the Ushior is just inferior in every regard, but there is no distinction between Main weapon pistols and sidearm pistols. People expect, from a weapon that is Ultrarare and behaves like a Widow, that it does similiar damage to a Widow. This expectation is not wrong - and if the design intention had been otherwise, it is clearly very badly communicated to players.

Most people agree, from what is my limited understanding, that there is currently no balance between all the weapons and your point about bringing a sidearm is the new design intention: Power based classes are clearly not going to do that and kits that don´t care about cooldown, will bring two heavy weapons anyway.

Maybe the devs had to unlock the ultrarares during their extensive testing.
