Almost Executioner vs some other junk

I thought the "some other junk" was going to be the wraith.

The thing that ruins it for me is that it's completely pointless. Arc Pistol does everything 10x better for the same rarity (Gold) The Executioner can't kill most shielded mooks in one shot, it has a pretty terrible recoil and since it has a "fast" reload type, the reload cancel can be tricky with it. 

I believe the only one I had positive experience with the Executioner on was BatSentinel. He stunnes an enemy with his net and then shoots him in the head. That's all-- and Suppressor or Saber or some decent sniper rifle are so much better at this.

Thing is, I go to panic mode easily and shooting one bullet at a time doesn't help it at all.

Never touched the Executioner. I've got the Talon, Acolyte, and Arc pistols already, so there's no point in it.

GPSMG is probably the first weapon to be listed in these threads that is actually not good. Also the first of them that I will classify as "Airlock it."

IMHO, GPR is better in every way (except weight, but even passiveless characters wont notice the weight of the GPR), and fills the exact same role (high capacity ammo primer). Lets make a weak gun that ramps up, leaving us essentially exposed whilst it fails to hurt the enemy, and has recoil and eats ammo when ramped up. Conversely, the GPR Has no recoil, no ramp up, and doesn't need sustained fire to reach its full potential, and doesn't eat ammo like a wannabe Harrier. Any gun in this game can be made to work, but some of them just aren't worth it.

Executioner is not great either, but it has a lot more potential, due to some innate stats, and the fact that it MUCH higher burst damage (Much more useful than sustained fire for most characters). Sure, the Destroyer can get a 2 Shot Executioner, but then you also need a Stabilization Module consumable because the recoil is pretty silly. It's a pocket sniper rifle, exactly as it should be. Packing an SR into a frame that size is bound to cause technical difficulties, especially in the recoil department. That it can pack as much punch as it does should be respected. Still, Arc Pistol exists, so it has some very tough competition in that department. Will have to try the Executioner more if I was to compare those two.

So, despite being a weak gun, Executioner is an easy win for me here.

Le sigh.

Executioner sucks on all kits besides Destroyer. On Destroyer, it is a win cannon.

GPSMG is peachy on GI, otherwise it sucks.

Chakram Launcher is disappointing.

Glad my request was taken



So yeah, I actually tried to use that piece of garbage again the other day on the male Quafiltrator and what do you know, it sucked. Then I remember why I never use that aberration.
I wasn't able to one shot (with headshots mind you) a fucking marauder not even with TC on Gold. Yeah, maybe I should've picked something different than phasic rounds, but still. It fails miserably at its only job: one shot stuff.
Takes ages to reload, has an awful recoil and for what? Almost executioner indeed. The 2 to 3 shot "executioner" or the "grace shot pistol" should be called.

Moving onto the GPSMG, I have nothing to say yet because it has been a heck of a lot of time since I last used it, probably because it sucked. But I can almost tell that the only hope for that gun is to pass the "Tsol test" ...
It's basically a GethPR but with shittier damage (as if the GPR isn't shitier enough). Rate of fire is the same I believe, but worst because it has that charge up time mechanic that I hate so much. Has a better mag though. So we shall see... I'm about to test it right now on my last round this night.

Bringing the Piranha as backup just in case it sucks balls like no other...

This.
Easy one of my favorite pistols. Not one of those overpowered lolEasyWinUR-Pistols. Most used on QFE after I got inspired (and amazed) by MasterReefas Plat run.

I love the Executioner and I think it works wonder on the Female Quarian Infiltrator. The dual-shot Executioner is also total badassery on the N7 Destroyer.

Executioner now and then with the QFI and the GPSMG now on then with the GI or GE for some variation in relaxed Gold games, never understood why some people only keep bringing the most broken OP guns into Gold.

I love the Executioner when I have some powers I can use for the shields (overload - headshot - overload - headshot).. otherwise: no.
