X5 Ghost

Yeah same here. I didn't bother with the Mattock in MEA because the rate of fire looked really low, and then I read from others that it was nerfed really badly from ME2 and 3. I liked that it was semi-auto and seemed like the Mass Effect universe's version of a close to medium range main battle rifle/designated marksman rifle.

Holy shit decided to craft myself up some level 3 ghost to test it out on Voeld...good planet because of the Kett stuff. The thing honestly reminds me of an accurate Revenant. Only trouble i was having was it was so much fun to fire i almost forgot about my health and almost died.

If i do keep it and advance it long term I'm going to call it the Bastard O' Winerfell.

i used it, it's great, the best assaul rifle, great accuracy, damage points, ammo capacity, fully automatic fast fire, escellent

Can someone confirm this? That would be extremely annoying since I'd like to keep sending those augments up the rank when I get more research points. 

The Harrier was absolutely perfect for control bursts. I could quickly put a few shots in the body then put a tap between the eyes for Cerberus mooks. It was super satisfying.

The Ghost really should have been the new Harrier archetype. I'd gladly trade clip size for a punchier bolt-clanging gun that can kill your average lowly mook with just a burst.

Actually thinking about it (because of a poll thread) the ME:A Ghost is most similar to the ME3 Phaeston.
Good damage but not the best, good accuracy with a large clip and spare ammo.

Loving the X5, only gripe is that you can't deconstruct it atm, only destroy. So I'll have to hang onto that vintage heat sink till I level up a bit more.

That only really mattered in multiplayer. In singleplayer there were thermal clips everywhere. I can't remember even running out of ammo. 

I think this weapon might be the best full auto AR in the game:

As i said I wanted a standard assault rifle with automatic fire that could be used in CQB situations.

The Revenant was too big and in ME 3 was way too unstable. The Ghost hardly has any muzzle climb unless you hold it down for protracted periods of time.

The Cyclone, and Sandstorm, has to spool up...that makes it good as an HMG or suppression weapon, but not a CQB street sweeper.

And the Avenger just sucks.

The only weapon that comes close as far as i can tell is the PAW for its type.

Serza may appreciate it but it's the real world equivalent of sticking a drum magazine on an M4 or G36.

All that said i still think Robert is going to hang onto the Valkyrie as his primary AR.
