X5 Ghost

I'll never let go of my Valkyrie, but I don't know how often I'll ever really use it…like at all.

Yeah, I'm liking it lots. Getting used to the initial instability but overall a really great well-rounded gun.

Hate to burst your bubble, but not necessarily. This weapon may have been almost done at launch, since half of it was in the game already.

The Javelin at least had its short charge-up before firing to separate it from other single-shot sniper rifles like the Widow, and the Isharay lacks that. Would have been kind of cool, though.

I was mistaken. It's actually 59 per clip with VHS at Tier 4. Oddly enough, those last seven shots are significant for me. I often run it down to 1-3 shots left when unloading on a "heavy". This will definitely be my main caster gun, now. Since I run a lot of casters, I'll be seeing a lot of this thing.

I haven't tried the Valkyrie since the patch. I'll bet it's insane. Nearly all of the weapons got buffed. I know both it's damage and clip size increased. I should load my save in which I have a Tier 10 Valkyrie and give it a go.

The Valkyrie is probably still damage king. I just prefer full-auto and controlling my own bursts to burst-fire like the Valk has. Interestingly, much like the M-25 Hornet, the Ghost feels way more accurate than its rating, even with extended full-auto fire. I use a stability mod on both ARs, regardless. The Ghost felt more steady, to me. The Valkyrie likes to kick up on the second shot, which can make rapid-fire a minor battle. It kills so quickly, though, that it hardly matters.

These are definitely the two gems of the AR family. I'm not sure whether the Pathfinder Elite rifle now goes to Tier 10. It's a fun, low-level weapon. It sounds and looks pretty good, and generally carries me until I find or craft a Tier 3 or 4 weapon that I like. I killed the Eos Architect on Insanity with that thing, earlier. I am playing as an Adept, too, so no Turbocharge or weapon passives, yet.

No, the Ghost was Tier 4. Maybe I should've constructed the sentence differently.

ah its ok. Probably my fault at the end...no clip mods then expanding ammo capacity?

Where do you get it?

I tried the VHS on a Black Widow. Turned out no mag mod will offset the clip penalty and it basically becomes a less powerful Regular Widow, so I couldn't live with that.

I hate scopes on AR's. I feel that the restricted field of view kind of ruins their versatility. The only type of AR I'd use it on is something semi-automatic that hits harder so it would be like a poor man's sniper rifle, but even that isn't very appealing to me. I just use stocks, mags barrels and sometimes receivers.

heh VHS onto the X5 and you have a beautiful Lancer

what kind of caster do you have in mind?

I'm going to X5 when it comes time to Hover Soldier.

Cloak + Turbocharge.  Jump in the air and rein hell on em

Yea ME3 especially saw a shotgun popularity increase.

People began to bust out they Shotgun Infiltrators.

Shotguns were pretty badAZZ as early as the first Mass Effect.  Wrex and Ashley would Carnage all to death.
