Put that GPSMG on a GI and enjoy your topscore. Yes, on lolBronze. You can't topscore against good players on Gold with that garbage, no matter your level of cheese

Agreed with Distigous.Geth GPSMG and GPR are hot garbages. You can topscore with them ofc,but you can do so with an avenger.It doesn't change the fact that they suck.

Throw them out airlock into a supermassive black hole. Organics... You should never throw away something you can repurpose, reuse or recycle. Especially if said act is based solely on your emotions. I'd rather take the Venom or Claymore or Raider or Crusader or Katana or Eviscerator. How did these two make it into this list? Although with it's weight it may take years for it to reach the event horizon; and then it may even swallow the black hole. But now it seems like you know more than you want others to believe you do. And on lolSilver and lolGold, too. If there are no Reegars, Harriers, or Hurricanes around. And no BSNers. Because this guys will basically outscore you with a freaking Shuriken. It doesn't change the fact that they suck. They suck compared to what, and what criteria do we use for comparison? For instance, any weapon would suck vs Reegar in terms of efficiency and sheer damage output, and any other AR would suck vs Harrier if we're talking overall damage and accuracy. Or is it just personal preferences that we're talking about here? i would argue GPR is good to practice your tracking heads skills, but it sucks indeed This organic seems to know something. Indeed, the GPR has a 3x headshot damage modifier and almost zero recoil, so if you go for the heads, its damage per bullet will be quite high, and its high RoF, further enhanced by RoF bonus from HM will result in some decent overall damage. And it's also light as a feather and is good for applying ammo powers (as is GPSMG), which can be then detonated with Overload.

They suck compared to the most of the weapons in their classes.I'd rather take Phaeston or even Revy for example. You know,there are good weapons,average,and bad ones.They are average at most.

Last time I used the GPSMG on Gold, I spent an entire clip to kill a single Trooper.
Enough said.

How did these two make it into this list? Because they aren't terrible like the Scimitar or GPSMG or GPS or CAR or Locust or Hornet or Shuriken, etc. Indeed, the GPR has a 3x headshot damage modifier and almost zero recoil, so if you go for the heads, its damage per bullet will be quite high 3x a small number is still a small number. GPR does 69 (207) damage per shot (for headshots) on a GE w/ APIV so that's with damage barrel, ideal damage for basically any weapon. Falcon does almost 640 (no HS bonus), Lancer does 155 (387), Saber does 1049 (2623), Phaeston does 96 (239). Lol a single Saber headshot is equivalent to hitting 12 GPR headshots. The build I used for science! This is how I spec my GE and while I'd use fire ammo on everything (except on the Saber, I'd totally use Drill Rounds) I used mag upgrade and damage barrel for continuity. Here's some other weapons I've used on the GE and their damage (headshots). I'll keep it to Rares and under: Graal: 1205 (3614) 3x HS bonus!!! Katana: 879 (2197) Eviscerator: 1178 (2946) GPS: 1232, 2737 charged shot Arc Pistol: 191 (476), 1715 (4288) Carnifex: 682 (1704) Mantis: 1591 (3978) Widow: 2257 (5591) Javelin: 2913 (7284) Just so you know I'm not knocking you for using the GPR. I'm just saying it's a terrible gun, especially for its rarity, and I don't/won't use it Like muah said, it's average at best.

I like using GPR on GE. It's a subpar setup, but I find it fun to play. Slap some Incendiary Ammo on it for some FEs and you have a... decent setup. Lore friendly, if nothing else

Never use GPR or Geth SMG when the superior Geth Plasma Shotgun exists and goes great with every single Geth character. That or the Javelin.

This not an unpopular opinion but did not want to clutter up another thread.
The most hilariously awful (easy) decision to make in a tree. Would you prefer two extra grenades or an extra 100% damage to already floating targets.

Obvious opinion about above opinion: it is deadly effective regardless of the popularity. I played him like that for a long time. Then, one day, on a whim, I specced into Incinerate and out of krogan passives(popular opinion seems to be they suck anyway... or is that an unpopular opinion in and on itself?) and never looked back. If I want to cheese it, it's one more option and nice to have it. But more than that, I feel it just fits to the character. Fire powers are something that supposedly takes care of krogan regeneration, so a krogan having something like that at his disposal would have a huge advantage on Tuchanka. OOC reason is, every bit of extra damage is nice.
And I just love Incinerate There's that as well.

And I just love Incinerate There's that as well. Oh, I like him for the build diversity. Like melee? Lol, KS likes melee. Like burning things? KS pisses ryncol, go nuts! Don't understand Tech Armor? Skip it, who cares. Love Tech Armor? Use it to boost melee, boost power, boost lifetime, or kill with it like a mad Krogan. Don't like Lift Grenades because they're stoOPid OP? Skip em, he doesn't give one single shit. I made that build trying to find a kit and setup where the Spitfire movement penalty and general shittiness didn't make me so mad. Krogan Sentinel - not the best sentinel in the game, but damned if he isn't a God.

I had no idea until today that it's unpopular but Asari Adept > Human Sentinel. Stasis is the MVP against all high DPS enemies except turrets while Tech Armor is unnecessary and just slows down power use.

some of these are hard to tell if people are mocking an unpopular opinion other people have, or are legitimately expressing an unpopular opinion they themselves actually hold, but this is an (almost certainly unpopular) opinion that I actually do hold: I genuinely enjoy the screen shake, it makes things feel more frantic and chaotic, which is how I like to play. Also, you know, Venom.

Tech Armor lacks a proper offensive evolution, or at least some kind of utility, as it did in ME2. It's just DR, and DR works much better with tankier kits than the Vanillas.

So we are actually debating this. Or not. My comprehensions is waving us a hullo from the gurgler. Ah well, i'll tak a stab and say i'm with Q5 on this (i also agree on TA downsides btw). Both Asari adepts are superior, more versatile and are more fun to play. Yeah, yeah call it blueberries bias, whatever. But even the AJA (my least favourite them all) trumps HSent due to the extra nicety such as the crowd control (no need for some shitty acolyte iether) and her stackable DR (shush, you stupid toasters, shush i says) Edit: yes, just like few of us ima now cross-referencing prestaciouschallenges.com . but this is where the bias kicks in *lalalala* plus the 3 years in-between the TTT's and Pfefferi's runs is enough to claim inconclusive i says. Edit: ima gos leep now Edit: how many fucking edits do i need already

Both Asari adepts are superior, more versatile and are more fun to play. Yeah, yeah call it blueberries bias, whatever. But even AJA (my least favourite them all) trumps HSent wth to superior crowd control (no need for some shitty acolyte iether) and her stackable DR (shush, you stupid toasters, shush i says) With stacking Reave and Bubble, AJA has better DR, I'll grant you that... and go on to state that the best defense is good offense. Even when soloing, defense is pertinent only insofar as it lets you maintain a high damage output.
But before I elaborate on that, a word on CC - Pull, CS and Throw are the fastest stagger powers. CS is out of the discussion, Pull does stagger shielded mooks, while Throw not only does that but it detonates every possible combo. As far as CC goes, HSent is superior.
Regarding offense, I had the misfortune pleasure to grind for a few months with the AJA for some N7S Arena challenges and it has made me painfully aware of her limitations. Setting up boom-booms with her is more difficult and mostly short range, which makes it a secondary choice to stacking Reave and weapon fire when considering overall damage output. Ironically, she benefits in that regard far more from the Acolyte than the HSent. I've used it on my HS less times than the number of fingers on one hand.
Warp+Throw is a beast combo with integrated debuff and increased explosion damage which can be detonated at any range. Bubble+Reave and Pull+Reave lag far behind. Oh, and Throw, with its quick cooldown allows you the option to detonate biosplosions even if some dumb TGI PUG keeps spamming Overload. Good luck trying to Bubble trap your Reaved Banshee if someone applies Disruptor ammo to it.
HSent is a 1st-tier kit that gets bad rap only because it always gets compared to the AA, which is a Super-tier kit. It has Stasis which trivializes phantoms, who, together with the goddamn fucking desk lamp cheaters , are the biggest threat, whether they deliver the killing blow or set you up for it. And Tech armor is decidedly lackluster in ME3, to boot.
p.s. This China bug thing has left me with too much free time on my hands.
p.p.s As far as fun goes, nah, you are plain wrong, Vanilla is the best flavour.
