On my latest playthrough as a sentinel/engineer focused on combo damage, I've been opting for pistols, which I never really made use of in past games (usually stuck to assault rifles and shotguns).
I wanted to go with the ushior, as my character has a whole angaran theme going on, and at first I hated the limited clip size and slow fire/reload speeds, but I've grown to love this gun. I've gotten mine up to 3 shots with magazine mods, and use the power booster augment to get 20% more damage while the clip is full (reloading often, so it's usually full). The high damage per shot also makes it easy to take out red bar enemies to proc my fusion mod of adrenaline so my powers come off cooldown quickly.
I really want to try something different for the next playthrough as well, thinking maybe sniper rifles but despite playing a sniper/infiltrator in ME1 and ME2 as my main character, I just dont like how they feel in andromeda. The aiming is clunkier and less reliable, and combat seems to be up close more often than not. I've used the raptor in multiplayer and I think it could be a good contender in single player with the other ammo mods and perks to raise clip capacity and accuracy. Main downside in multiplayer with it is the super small clip size and it bounces all over the place trying to fire full auto. I wonder how well it would do with the burst fire system?

I enjoyed using the Space Revolver with the grenade augment. I can't remember the weapons official name, but its Space Revolver to me.

Full-auto Valkyrie. That thing is insane. My only issue with that gun is that it makes it feel like I'm cheating, same with the full auto hornet. They're just too powerful, kinda takes a chunk of enjoyment out of the game when my gun melts everything and I dont even need to use powers.

What I enjoyed way more than i anticipated was the Katana with Plasma Charge system. Crap damage, but it energizes well with crowd control abilities and melee attacks. Also: Explosions everywhere!
Edit: That should have read *synergizes*

For me it has always been pistols as I usually play a full biotic. It's not so much the type of pistol itself, but the sticky grenade augment, that puts sparkles in my eyes and makes me go ga-ga.

Sidewinder. I just love Sidewinder, one with no gameplay changing augments on it. I tried other guns, but I always seem to end up using this beauty of a pistol

I crafted a Black Widow with the augment that siphons a portion of your health to refill the magazine. That thing was fun.

I tried other guns, but I always seem to end up using this beauty of a pistol I tried a sidewinder with full auto and it was pretty awesome for the 0.1 seconds it actually fired. How big of a clip size can you get on one?

How big of a clip size can you get on one? Not too much, maybe 10? 12? That's actually the reason I enjoy it, semi-auto with a small clip and super short reload. It's great for my mostly power/melee using characters.

The Dhan (unaltered) and the X-5 Ghost (with vintage heat sink) are my go-to weapons for my canon Ryder, offset by a Valiant (you can get one-shot headshots on an Infiltrator with the right skill buffs, even on insanity and the clip size for an SR is INSANE)

I guess with my character mostly using powers (and the ushior as a primary weapon), I just need something for those tougher bosses that I cant kill with powers and 18 shots of reserve ammo alone. Architects are a serious pain for my setup.

My go to as a sniper is the Black Widow with Battlefield Assist module and kinetic coils... accurate, powerful, with a 9-shot clip at Level X with my character spec'd for added clip size wherever possible. As an alternate, I also carry a Inferno, which is less powerful, but it has unlimited ammo and a rapid fire rate. I have also used the Black Widow with a vintage heat sink, which drops the clip size down to 3 shots (if spec'd for clip size), but the recharge is reasonably fast and it is possible to fire continuously just by slowing your fire rate a little bit. I have played through the entire game on insanity using only this version of the Black Widow.
My go to pistol is the Equalizer (but I'm not a big pistol user at the best of times). My go to shotgun is the Dhan. I haven't used an assault rifle for several playthroughs, but I would say my favorite would be the X-5 Ghost with vintage heat sink.

They're just too powerful, kinda takes a chunk of enjoyment out of the game when my gun melts everything and I dont even need to use powers. My last 3 PT's I have used nothing but the Valkyrie with auto-fire mod. Yeah its OP'd but who the hell cares This PT thanks to a tip from Element Zero I have been using a Hornet with a Beam Emitter, autofire and a bioconverter just to mix things up but its even more powerful than the Valkyrie.

I'm all about shotguns. my most frequent play through in ME 1-3 is teh shotgun adept. I like to continue that in MEA. I am irritated that the claymore didn't make it to MEA but the piranha is a great gun that made the journey.The DHAN and hesh are probably better with the right mods but they don't sound right. i like sticking with the piranha and crusader, its all about how they sound and feel. The damage on both is good enough you don't need to mod them but if you do they are fantastic.

I miss the claymore, wraith, and eviscerator.

He gave me a Hesh design that was great, really powerful but VERY BLOODY LOUD. IIRC its a Hesh with Seeking Plasma, Autofire and as many Kinetic Coils as you can fit.

After testing it the other night, I’ve discovered that the Isharay with bio converter is basically cheating! HEADSHOTS FOR DAYS SON!!! In my previous playthroughs with my up close and personal engineer, I fell in love with the Piranha with bio converter and seeking plasma. That thing roared like the gods!

my go to guns are kind of still the mattock incisor and Viper from the trilogy. Currently my Sentinel Ryder is using a beam emitter mattock with bioconverter. Currently only able to use 2 weswpons atm as I'm quite early in my playthrough but I've currently got her specced using one pistol one assault rifle. Using the Predator as the pistol atm but I want to eventually switch to an SMG for that but atm it would just be too heavy as I'm not levelled high enough yet as I'm only level 10 atm. I must admit I do like some of the Kett and Remnant guns though. As Jaal likes to say about his weapon "Once it was Kett. Now it kills them for me." Nothing quite like using an enemies own weapon against them.

Hornet with with Autofire/Beam Emitter/Bioconverter/Double Mod Extension and however many Kinetic Coils you can chuck on? His other tip that I use is to equip The Asari Sword/Krogan Hammer and fill it with Kinetic Coils as it boosts your DPS on your other weapons even when you are not using it.
