I've always claimed to be a jack of all trades and master of none, so I guess the stats back that up. Over the years my kit selections have always been driven by whatever number of amps I have. I don't like running out of anything in case I run into a friend or themed squad.

As for Suppressor points, I've got every single one of them (x20) using the AA/Stasis/Scrub Status Confirmed approach, with headshot mod, scope, AP rounds, Commando gear and Targeting VI. I don't find ammo to be much of an issue unless I'm being trolled by teammates breaking the stasis. I'm not one for complaining about 'kill-stealing' in a co-op game, but it does wind me up sometimes if people don't recognise the Phantom-killing power of what I'm trying to do if you'll just leave me in peace to do it.

That was my point. Other than this game and probably Gears of War I can't think of any games where I actively want to main a shotgun because they're better (or at the minimum don't hurt you for using it) than everything else.

I just looked at my N7HQ. I'm surprised to see that I (only) have 149 AR Masteries.....

Arc pistol fucking sucks, and so do you!

Also, Lancer is the answer


_{Who plays this after a decade? sheesh, possibly suit rat lovers and vorcha scum}

Try with TSol/GI. If you still hate, airlock it.

It is ok, and the more consistent your aim is the better it is.

I got synced wave 11 yesterday with my GE that had carried the new players for 10 waves. I wish N7HQ tracked that for us - wave 11 sync kills. On solos alone, my numbers would be impressive.

Arc, Talon and Carnifex tie interestingly so the vote goes to Carnifex. Well deserved

  As a matter of fact, I should hit 150 today...

it would have been cool if there actually was a stealth element to the game where the Suppressor actually gave you some sort of advantage... and also if the magazine size was doubled or tripled.

How did they never address the ammo issue when they were making balance changes? Has the worst ammo issue in the game imo,way worse than e.g. the Harrier. Did no one ever bring it up, because no one was actually using it? I actually kinda like the gun, apart from the ammo issue, and I like the idea of using it with Infiltrators in theory (not so much in practice)

I'm surprised I did SMGs 10 times. I usually complete non HurrDurr and CSMG challenges with Glorious Fat Turian Soldier.

SMGs...Completed this 46 times, two more than sniper challenge which is the least.
Not entirely surprising since it's 5 smg challenges vs 9 for snipers.

Here's the list...
36: BPP
35: CSMG
30: Hornet
29: Tempest
28: GPSMG
25: Locust
19: Shuriken
18: Hurrdurr

Take that, hurricane. What a silly sounding gun.
Most of those 18 completions are due to the themed challenges and from the time when I initially unlocked it.
The shuriken is basically a S-huriken a.k.a. S-hurricane. It's the better hurricane and importantly, doesn't sound like shit.

BPP and CSMG are my two faves - so unsurprisingly they are 1 and 2.

Also, I think there's a decent amount of variety among SMGs. Especially when the hurrdurr is binned.

I don't use SMGs very often, only 3x SMG Masteries (compared to 19x for Shotguns).

Hurricane is #1 at 4x, #2 is CSMG at 3x, then several tied at 2x

I was surprised to discover I've used it less than I actually thought (x12), as it was my weapon of choice on the HE for a while (especially on Gold-trolling alt accounts). My build was with a scope, armour piercing, and cryo ammo with 6a freeze combo Incinerate. Genuine fun, to the extent that I'm going to take a trip down memory lane next time I play.
