The idea of adding the AAX5 Avenger to the game seems to be very popular not jut here, but all over the interwebs.
Due to the feedback and demand I figure that at a minimum it will be released as some sort of paid DLC similar to the weapon packs of ME2 and ME3.
Then I started thinking about how cool it would be to make it a reward for completing a DLC similar to how Starfang was for Warden's Keep in DAO.
The AAX5 Avenger would be one of the options some curmudgeonly old weapons developer would reward you with at the end of some search and rescue type mission, and you would get the prototype and blueprints to make more.
You could also choose between a similarly awesome pistol/smg, shotgun or sniper rifle, just like you could either have Starfang as a long sword or great sword.
It will probably never happen but I enjoy getting iconic weapons with a backstory or memorable tale to tell versus what is basically a micro-transaction.

I'm really hoping that this weapon gets added to the game and mats of all tiers are available so I can craft my own. My dream is that it becomes the MEA equivalent of the Harrier in terms of rapid bolt-clanging punch along with reconciling cutscenes.

I think I read on twitter somewhere that they haven't ruled out adding this in as DLC at some point due to popular demand.

Given its origin as the AI's custom version of the Avenger, such a setup would make little sense. It, and its schematic, should simply be available from Tier 1 onward.
I'd like a worthwhile, full auto assault rifle, and I'd hoped this weapon would be it. Finding it absent from the game was annoying. Hopefully, if and when it arrives, it's a substantial upgrade over the base Avenger.
I think bundling this with a few other pieces, whether weapons or armor, and offering it as free DLC would be a smart PR move for BioWare. These weapons packs are generally inexpensive, so the hit would be reasonably modest. At the very least, it would be a nice gesture to those of us who are playing and loving the game, despite its undeniable technical flaws.

Heck yeah i'm hoping it's somewhere in between the Mattock and the Avenger, damage-wise. It looks sexy af so when I see it in the cutscenes my heart breaks that I can't have it. |

I'm unimpressed with MEA's Mattock. I'm hoping for something on par with the Valkyrie and the Sweeper, in terms of accuracy and DPS. Full-auto is nice, since I can choose whether to fire in bursts, instead of having it dictated to me. Ian did say that those rate-of-fire augmentations are going to be added via patches, soon. That means a full-auto Valkyrie isn't off the table, yet. |

Is the Sweeper really that good? I tried one for like five minutes before I got sick of the recoil. |

I always use stability mods on each, so both work well. When I build my Level X weapons, shortly, I think I'll go back to the Sweeper. It has a larger clip and I get a better RoF from it. They're both good weapons. I liked the Valkyrie's look and sound, for a while; but the sound is starting to get old, now. The Sweeper is quieter, in addition to the advantages I mentioned above. Nothing looks cooler than the Valkyrie, though. |

I'm pretty sure the AAX5 is already in the game. When you find Cora on Habitat Seven you see a cutscene where Liam shoots a few more rounds into a Kett on the ground. When the cutscene ends for a split second you have a collapsed weapon on your back that then disappears. It's white and i'm 99% sure that it's a collapsed AAX5.
In general I'm a little bit dissapointed with the guns. My interest in the Kett and Remnant Weapons is rather limited, as I prefer the Milky Way athetics for a character from the Milky Way. I miss the Claymore, the Eviscerator, the Vindicator and Mantis. Also, what the hell happened to the Scimitar? And why don't we get to use Cora's shotgun?
Also not a huge fan of Ammo Consumables. I wish they would be Augments.

I'd love it if the X5 Ghost (the real name for the weapon, btw) was similar to the Hornet SMG, but maybe a little punchier, slightly slower ROF (so similar DPS) but more accurate at longer ranges. I've basically started using the Hornet as my go-to mid-range weapon, and it's a very solid performer, but I'm one of those weird people who thing soldiers should carry assault rifles.  Either that, or give me a full goddamned stock on the Hornet, and it could be a "short carbine."  |

The pathfinder AR with a stock (stability) mod has similar performance to the Hornet if you have access to it and haven't tried it yet. |

The pathfinder AR with a stock (stability) mod has similar performance to the Hornet if you have access to it and haven't tried it yet. Yeah, but the Pathfinder Pioneer has a few things I don't like about it. First, you can't deconstruct them to get any augmentations back from building them. That means no vintage heat sink or other ultra rare augmentations, or you lose it, unless you're crafting a rank 10 version. Second, and arguably more important, the butt stock on the thing is round. Circular. I mean, who the hell designs an AR without a flat or slightly concave butt stock to seat it into your shoulder when firing?! It's a decent weapon for sure, but c'mon! I just wish either the Pioneer or the Hornet had a more realistic stock. Minor gripes, but hey, that's what the BSN is all about, amirite? |

Pathfinder brand weapons do not seem to get blueprints past version V. Which is another strike against using them.

There's an email at the epilogue that seems to hint at the Initiative's mysterious benefactor skimming resources on a large scale.
I could see this rifle being introduced in whatever DLC deals with that.
