What is ur experience with close-up weapons?
I been playing angara avenger. I dash to the enemy and finish him off with some headshots. Mostly using Hurricane.
I gave the Piranha a shot, yet Im not sure. Would that be stronger than the Hurricane?

See what i do is use avenger strike, stun them with r6 ability, sticky bomb them, vanish. If it's a harder target, I always bring its sheild or armor down a bit, then when its to the point where i can kill it, i use avenger strike, stun, bomb, disappear. It's really fun. I

Yes, shoot, THEN melee. (Since melee often robs you of facing the enemy.)

Other viable strats:
Talon, melee.
Melee, mini-jumping melee.

Vanquisher quick-scope works just as well. Which is an outrage. Personally I think all snipers should automatically suffer from hipshot penalties if an enemy is within close range.

But yeah: Just slap them silly. Juggernaughty shields are good like that.

Double meaning.

Either muh dick is unsuitable for a close range weapon because it lacks mass, or because it's so massive it can't be used at close range..

For close range there are only 2 good options: Piranha and Hurricane. Since Avenger Strike get bonus from melee and shotgun melee attachment gives 75% of bonus, I suggest the Piranha.

You first

But the answers were true actually. If you are up close to something, there is no reason not to punch it.

It`s reliable as you say, but I kinda find it bothersome most enemies don`t get hit by it two times in a row.

...intended? ....Maybe..

but it feels totally unjustified and is biggest let down for using this move.
