Notes:
I did intentionally skip the Collector SMG and Collector Sniper Rifle since they are exclusive to the Multiplayer of ME3, while the Collector Assault Rifle was usable in ME2's campaign.
ME3's heavy weapons would've been universally ranked low because you cant (normally) reload them and they serve exactly 1 purpose most of the time.
The heavy weapon ammunition for ME2 Heavy Weapons was changed in the save editor for ease of testing and recording. The weapons were not judged as if they had 7000+ ammo capacity.
In telltale walking dead season 2 what do you think clementine thanking when gii say cool hat thoughts 👍👍
Ironically something that was never seen when they were still alive.
I don't know if you reed this, but keep making these videos, they are truly remarkable and super fun
There are brilliant man!
@@grinvich.76 I see all, even if I neglect to respond, thank you!
I absolutely love how half of these tier lists spawn into existence because Biden can't complete the Grissom Academy mission.
On Legendary with Vanguard and not using Cheese?
I did it on Legendary, Difficulty Mods, Vanguard, with just an Evicerator. It was HELL. Took like a week of an hour a day give or take (yes it was that hard)
Everything will screw you over, cover is terrible, and god forbid you let an engineer put out a turret. Genuine trauma.
@@Samuel034suffer more it turns me on
@@Samuel034I did it with Soldier class on Insanity. Mattock only. Concussive Shots mostly with fire/electric ammo. Had Liara with me to help out with the Guardians and EDI to help out with shields
Ud think with all the knowledge Joe has with this game and it's classes and guns, he'd complete it by now lol
@@TheMaineMeta same , except i use the harrier, and piercing armour ammo , i dont want to say it was easy but playing soldier class since the first one
Mattock gang rise up 👊🤛
Woop woop!
💪
Even as a biotic, I gotta have my Mattock. Add the light metal modification, and it carries me through the entire game by itself.
shame 🫵
Mattock all day
The Carnifex is also great because of the imagery behind it. A high power, 6 shot pistol you gain in a lawless land from a man with a dark past trying to redeem himself. It’s the big iron of Mass Effect.
It also has a ton of symbolic meaning in ME3, because in most cutscenes that show Shepard wielding a pistol, they will be using a Predator, except in Priority: Tuchanka. At the end of that mission, Shepard is using a Carnifex, so if you choose to kill Morden to stop him from curing the Genophage, you do it with the gun that he gave you when you first met.
@@CivilWarMan Right! Forgot about that!
Oh and there’s it’s location in ME3. With Jacob. Hurray...
Always fun to imagine it being there for two reasons. One, to remember all the times you had in ME2 to make the mission more enjoyable
Or two, if you stabbed Jacob or Mordin in the back... well, the pistol is there. It knows what you did.

I'm commander Shephard and this is my favorite comment in the Citadel
You absolute hero
kinda surprised nobody made a comment about the casa locust being the gun that killed 2 presidents.
You mad lad
Had to be you. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
The only correct answer for S-Tier is the M-96 Mattock.
Also the N7 Typhoon for infinite BRRRRR.
Thank you for the credits once again Commander!
@@primeradiancy Mass Effect content is always worth supporting. Keep at it.
What about the Cerberus harrier
Seconded. Mattock. Yes. Mattock plus engineer skills is deadly.
I always hated the mattock
These never fail to brighten even a good day. It's not simply the voices but what they say. Perfect. Just perfect.
There is nothing better than seeing the presidents in the morning in debates about my favorite saga
These videos have done more to make me want to replay the Mass Effect series than any kind of advertising ever could
I love the running gag that Biden can’t clear Grissom Academy 😂
In the original ME3 the Executioner was a straight ticket to "Game Over" if you equipped it on Mars since you couldn't shoot 4 bullets in Dr. Eva in time.
My brother got stuck because he was using the scorpion.
I learned that the hard way on my first playthrough. And had to restart the entire mission because I forgot to make multiple saves
It’s the same story with the Acolyte.
Wait how? I thought you couldn't have any pistol other than the Predator in that mission.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem if you ng+ me3 you can use the weapons table and have access to yr previous runs weapons
The Cerberus Harrier needs a tier of it's own. It so far eclipses any other weapon in the trilogy that it's not even fair to compare it with anything else. Yeah it bleeds ammo like a surgery patient, but that's a necessary nerf to avoid harbinger surrendering instantly. Even in Multiplayer where everything does less damage and is generally worse, the Harrier is still godly. Arguably it's even better in MP because it's 1 weakness doesn't matter with ammo available anywhere. It's truly a monster of a weapon and incredibly satisfying to use.
If it weren’t for the higher weight and the limited capacity compared to the Lancer, I’d use the Harrier 24/7. Insanely strong.
Falcon grenade rifle.
I got through all my insanity playthroughs never having used the Harrier.
It's not that I don't like it. It's just too expensive and I just used my credits upgrading the Black Widow or the Lancer.
The Matlock you just pick up in the beginning and effective at every range. There's no reason to use the Harrier if you have a quick trigger finger.
I remember constantly trying to find the Harrier in MP so I could use it. Grinded so hard to get all those weapon packs and still never found it. Now I'm playing Legendary and don't do MP anymore.
@@johncisney15 I feel you. I went through a few months of playing ME3 MP basically all the time and I couldn't get the Harrier for so long. That was the first time I realized how much I hate loot boxes. I even spent a bad amount of time using the Geth Prime missile glitch to speedrun platinum with some friends for a while. It was absurdly rare. But damn was it worth it when I finally got it. Even the Lv 1 Harrier was basically better than any Lv 10 weapon.
Donald always has w takes, the single fact that Joe doesn't like the black widow means I'm voting Trump
This is one of the better if not the best weapons list just for the info and demonstrations alone, I even learned a few things watching this.
The M-96 Mattock is my all-time favorite ME gun for sure, effective at all ranges it can carry any ME2 playthrough regardless of class and in ME3 you can easily get away with packing this beauty and nothing else, which is again excellent for all classes.
(but mainly I just have a thing for semi auto)
Great video as always!
The Cerberus Harrier based on the Mattock is a great gun too
@@MonoKrohm_2020Automatic Mattock for the win.
Falcon grenade rifle. Ultimate bounce headshot.
@@clintbeastwood5116 can’t beat it man, powerful and accurate fire every time
Yep, the paid DLC weapon advantage.
The Cerberus Harrier is God Tier. To me it felt like a straight upgrade over the Mattock, but maybe that's cause I've used the Mattock in almost every playthrough and got a little bored of it lol
Put this gun on an Infiltrator or any Turian character (especially the Ghost Infiltrator) for their natural stability perks & even Atlas’s melt like butter. The bad part is that you have to live near an ammo box
exactly the harrier is what the mattock wished it was
@@Sumblueguy41 exactly. Or have a buddy play as an N7 Demolisher so they can be a mobile ammo box
Yeah I kinda play each one the exact same way but playing META gets boring so I try and theme the weapons to characters
@@GrimReaderas an Mtg player back in the day, it makes my eye twitch when people talk about "meta" in coop, (or even worse, sp, play), since "meta game" was originally about the fact that the best deck/build/gun/whatever was affected by what deck/build/gun/whatever you would be likely facing, which itself was affected by the meta! In coop/sp, there is no meta in that sense.
Idk what I've done to deserve the best written presidents channel to not only be about mass effect, but to also consistently upload. I'm so blessed
Ranking the venom shotgun as anything less than top is a travesty, especially when used on vanguard. If you get aim or at an enemy and then hit your biotic charge it sets you up for an absolutely devastating combo. The shotgun always staggers enemies so you don’t have to worry about insta kills, anything less than a banshee gets obliterated in one hit and it will take out a harvester in 3 hits if you can hit center mass with the main projectile on insanity difficulty.
Best gun indeed
@@BSoDexeI think you mean best combo.
When is "Mass Effect Characters Rank US Presidents from 2008-Present" coming out? The world needs answers!
The Disciple has an increased stagger capability so while it's not doing obscene damage like some other shotties, its perfect for power builds because that stagger lets you set up combos during cooldowns. It's light enough to also roll with the acolyte to burn shields and barriers.
It is definitely and underrated shotgun. It also sends anything killed by it flying backwards as if you hit them with max level throw.
So what, N7 Piranha is just as light, does 1.8x the damage, better against armor, and more reserve ammo.
@@nuclearsimian3281 The Piranha is half again as heavy. It's DPS is fantastic and I wouldn't argue that especially in the right hands. For casters the disciple excels at staggering enemies at longer ranges than the piranha could hope to do tho.
The Venom needs to be higher. It melts through everything with ridiculous ease. I did the Omega mission as early as possible with that thing, and I had to check several times if I was really playing on Insanity.
Same here. it takes 3 or 4 shots for that thing to kill either an atlas or a banshe and it bassically ignores 2 of the 3 forms of protection enemy’s can have as it seems to ignore Shields and barriers multiple times I had to check if I was on insanity and not on narrative the gun makes the game a cake walk
Done the geth SMG dirty. It has like 0 weight if you put ultra light materials on and it is insanely accurate.
Let's not forget that it's also a fire hose. Spits 100 rounds in seconds lol
Justified; unless ya got an ammo power & somebody detonating the primer power, nobody in their right mind takes the Geth SMG for its dmg output. You’re just a poorer version of a turret thats not using a Typhoon
@@Sumblueguy41As an ammo power focused build, though, it is indispensable. I occasionally run it on my Infiltrator with a rotation of heavy snipers if I'm trying to keep my cooldowns low
They weren't included mods in the rankings
It's good tier imo. The charge-up time is annoying.
I remember trying to get the achievement where you beat the arena on the highest difficulty. I really struggled until I used N7 Typhoon. Gave it to 2 squadmates and we were done on the 1st attempt.
Bro the Typhoon is insane in the hands of squadmates.
@@JAYDOG1337Aif they feeling good today(seriously these mfs always shooting at walls and shit)
I think Garrus and James were up to it
34:15 "This is the gun that's a major component in helping Garrus ascend to godhood."
I love that reference.
I hope the presidents talk about that bug in multiplayer where I think it was the N7 Destoryer could use the rocket with infinite amo. That was beyond fun and such cheese.
the rocket glitch was patched out of the pc version, and any class could do it.
Someone should make an AI tier list for mechs of the Mechwarrior franchise.
God yes
Oh fuck yes! Please!
Why so the Marauder can be at the top?
@@Hellhound23691 The Dire Wolf - or as I prefer it, Daishi, because when House Kurita names your mech "death" you know it's badass - would be at the top. The Marauder is trash tier by comparison. It's literally just a discount IS version of the Timber Wolf, with half the missiles, half the ballistics, and less armor, that somehow still weighs the same.
And don't you even utter the name 'Atlas" aloud. Most overrated mech ever and I can't believe it gets all the box art these days. Give me a dual PPC Adder and I'll annihilate any Atlas, regardless of loadout or pilot, in any game under any rule set.
@@austinm5630 The Marauder is a musuem piece that can and will beat the honor out of any Clan mech that steps out of line. Dire Wolf has it beat in firepower, but tell me that duel PPCs and an AC aren’t enough to kill any mech in the setting.
The Marauder remains a favorite of everyone, including Clanners, for a damned good reason. It fucking works and it will continue to smash bad guys, good guys, and orphanages wherever it goes.
Though I do agree Skelemech is very overrated.
The Cain comes in handy during the Arrival Dlc towards the end where everyone is swarming you.
The M-97 Viper, M-90 Indra and N7 Piranha are all guns that get a lot of use from me whenever I play the trilogy, but my prized and most used gun has to be the M-7 Lancer.
I much prefer the heat sink function on the Lancer in Mass Effect 3 over constantly having to worry about looking for ammo. Have no ammo left? No problem! Just let the gun cool down while you’re in cover.
Personally, I prefer to carry around at least 2 or 3 guns per mission so I tend to go for the lighter guns/fully automatics and skip out on using guns like the Black Widow. I just don’t want any gun that heavy slowing down my recharge rate. I use Tech Armor way too much for that.
Before I got the Legendary Edition which came with the bonus weapons included, my standard was the Black Widow, and the Lancer, it is just an amazing gun, it's better than the Avenger in literally every way.
Just maxed out the Lancer and it's solid!
I absolutely agree with you. As a vanguard player I always use m-7 lancer, piranha, and scorpion. All I need are just 3 guns of the best weapons in the game.
Collector SMG was a god tier weapon for power builds in ME3 multi. Slightly DPS than Hurricane and Blood Pack Punisher maybe, but it's so much more stable so it's ability to brrrrr into someone's head or a boss weakspot for a whole clip is amazing. It gets that 50% boost against armor, pretty unique for SMGs. Also infinite clips.
Downsize: its not viable to be a main dmg dealer even on a power user when its a mark1-3 so it needs the upgrades and mag size is still too small even with a Mag Extender. I know thats a duh statement but the RNG Factor for loot boxes in this game is ass beyond ass
@@Sumblueguy41 Too true. That loot system was brutal. Cheat engine exists though. Otherwise yea it could take hundreds of hours to get all the ultra rares to X.
Thank you for including sound effects! Mass Effect 3 really outdid itself in that departement.
Weird take on the Phalanx from the presidential trio. It felt like ass to shoot in ME2, but in ME3 it's smooth as hell. Like a Predator that can actually keep up with mid-game threats.
They are 100% right on the Lancer, though. I spent my whole ME3 playthrough lighting enemies on fire and then exploding them with Concussive Shot. The Lancer disrupted that rhythm because a lot of enemies died too fast for me to blow them up. By Priority: Earth, I was smoking Brutes almost as easily as I'd smoked Cannibals in the early game.
Reegar is actually G tier, and with any element becomes completely broken. Not even the mighty PPR,Typhoon, Piranha or Hurricane could manage .3 second TTK, even on phantoms. With Warp or Incend IV it was just hee haw broken.
These are my favorite versions of the AI presidents. Would love to hear them yap about other Videogame series especially Cyberpunk
I just discovered this channel and this is sooooo amazing...so much effort into the dialogue and so in-depth. The occasional cuts to show the gun sound was a great idea!
Thanks for making this.
You know, it's interesting how in the original Mass Effect, the Avenger was pretty much an upgrade to the Lancer, and that role was effectively reversed in 3 with the Lancer's triumphant return, coupled with the Avenger's role as a starter weapon since 2.
It's stated in the Lancer's description in 3 that a master gunsmith tinkered with that specific rifle, so the average Lancer would still be inferior in universe
If I had to rank all your videos, I think they wouldn't be S-tier or S+ tier.
They would be God-tier, on par with our messiah Richard Leroy Jenkins himself.
I will now stop praising you and these videos to take a lenghty silent prayer in the name of Jenkins.
I just wanted to thank you for all the great moments.
Excellent as always. Was wondering about the Lancer, phalanx, and punisher. Was not disappointed!
Also glad the presidents could all agree on the Lancer.
These videos is Healing ASMR for my soul. Bless you
I'm sure it's already been said, but I'd love to see a multiplayer class list for ME3
Venom is god tier. Removes half the challenge of an insanity play through with charged shots.
How did you decide on which “voice” and general baseline opinions each president would represent in your videos? Which would you say trends closest to your own? I love that you get a consistent sense of character and motivation that Carries across all your videos. S+ tier writting and videos
Earlier on most of my actual opinions surfaced through Obama, which I'm sure a lot of people could tell. Lately it's been coming through all 3 of them.
Essentially, Donald is a hard-line renegade player and Joe is a bleeding heart Paragon. Obama would represent the people who are "Paragade". Which is why he'll be "bipartisan" on topics like Organics vs Synthetics.
Most of the time Joe and Donald oppose each other, while Obama mediates. You'll see Obama side with Joe since they're bonded as President and VP, but when Joe is being stupid due to his inexperience with Mass Effect, Obama sides with Donald since he's the more hardcore player.
Claymore is really god damn fun. Reload clitching makes it one of my favorites. Also with accuracy mod it's almost like a sniper with headshots because of its massive damage.
I'm right there with you. It's my go to in multiplayer. Sniping armored opponents in one shot from halfway across the map with the alliance infiltrator bot is one of my favorite things in the trilogy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this . Thank you.
Something I noticed on my last play through, you might be able to slide this into your excellent writing somehow...
Didn't take Garrus on ME1, Shepherd recognizing him in ME2 made sense, but Garrus cites the Noveria mission during the fan service Presidium buddy cop sniper scene
Think Tali talks about the Rachni creeping her out even if you don’t take her in any missions involving them. I always thought it’s implied the others are with you in the lore
@@klawschafer7425 You're right, I'd forgotten about that one
Love your vids! I like how they're pretty even handed. Actually playing ME1 first time as a sentinel because of your class guides.
This needs millions of views. Been watching mass effect ranks since for 4 weeks now. This is amazing.
With the m7 valiant and the burst sniper, both of them extend the range of your biotic charge on vanguard adding an extra buff on that class. Its so much fun teleporting around the map and they was goated to use on multiplayer back in the day.
I'm so happy to find someone else that respects the Kishock. Ever since I started using it on the Legendary Edition, I completely fell in love. Definitely my favorite sniper, and top 5 guns across all weapon classes
Cannot believe I was a day late for this work of art.
The Geth Plasma shotty was my favorite in MP with the Geth Infiltrator who had boosts for Geth guns, even though the tracking was kinda bad if you weren't host.
Aw i love how you referenced "Garrus ascends to godhood" when talking about the typhoon, that's immediately what I thought when this gun came up
This is probably the most entertaining tier list I've ever heard. With actual legit debate, this was great.
You need to do one where each president talks about each class and why they like or hate each class
I'm sad to see the Scimitar ranked so low. I have fond memories of playing vanguard and unleashing an absolute firestorm on my enemies, only to biotic charge into them and detonate all the fire primed enemies. I get why others may not like it, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Dedicated vanguard players and speed runners absolutely love the scimitar, considering it one of the best weapons period in 2 and 3. I like it a lot myself.
It's my fave gun in all the shooters I've played 🥹
Its super awsome to watch and listen. I cant put it into words.
The Crusader was basically my shotgun/sniper rifle in ME3. Loved getting those Cerberus shield guys threw the eye-slit. The M-11 was my pistol of choice, but used the Carnifex long before I played the Citadel DLC. The M-13 Raptor was basically my assault rifle with sniping capability when my ammo is low on the other weapons. Plus its light.
Super stoked for this list!
The Reegar Carbine may be mid but it is a death ray in the multiplayer with the right set up. The N7 Typhoon is for all the Rambo larpers and badasses
The Black Widow sniper rifle and the practical rifle are my go to weapons. They're practically the GOAT whenever I use them
Back in multiplayer days Harrier and Rigar evaporated pretty much anything on the map... Beyond God Tier in my opinion, weapon balancing is a bit different in multiplayer though
I love these videos so much! The presidents all agreeing on the Typhoon is right, its god tier.
A little bit of defense for the Indra in ME3, it’s not bad if you’re playing an Infiltrator because of the passive time dilation whenever you ADS. You can get like 10-12 shots off with it before the dilation ends, and once it does just stop aiming and aim again to slow time again. It’s like hitting Adrenaline Rush with an assault rifle without worrying about cooldowns and it’s every time you aim because the Indra is basically an assault rifle with a free scope attachment on it. It can be pretty effective when properly modded and upgraded as an Infiltrator, however I will say it kinda sucks if you’re playing any other class, as you’d be better off just picking an assault rifle. That time dilation is what makes it interesting to use as an Infiltrator, and it’s accessible very early on in the game. But as you progress through the game better options become available.
Im only about a minute in & this is already amazing.
I almost never comment on vids, but this effin deserves it!!! Great job, great analysis, love the humor... dude, what a dedication to create this. Of course depends on your style of playing, things may change and the combination with power, example the geth AR is rubbish, until you mix it with fire amo and maximizes your power, (damage and recharge) of concusive shot (soldier class) because then u can have many explosion burst as you want so for me is a God class only when combined with mods. But dude this vid is amazing
I fucking love this channel
I have the biggest smile across my face seeing this!
My ME2 fav combo is Collector Riffle + Widow Riffle with Adrenaline Vapor.
ME3 combo is Prothean Gun \ M-7 with Black Widow. Really fun combos.
I have no idea why this video exists and why it's so good and high-effort but thank you
The Piranha shotgun with the vanguard build is just cheating. Or just use the pistol from the clone DLC which is overkill.
I’ve used the adas on my insanity adept run almost exclusively and it is insanely useful. Still super low cooldowns on abilities and any big enemies with shields/barriers melt so you can start biotic comboing armor
Excellent. Well-written and entertaining.
I've grown totally addicted to this. More. Give me more.
The matlock, carnifex, and viper were my go to weapons. Love those guns.
This is the best tier list video I have ever seen
Wow, the Piranha shotgun is getting borderline disrespected in Mid Tier!
Vanguard class can topple any situation with Piranha (close-to-mid range) and Mattock (mid-to-far range), combined with barrier-replenishing Charge & Reave... like an actual whirling dervish of death and bullets
this has to be one of the greatest mass effect related videos i have ever seen im fuckin dying over here
It’s honestly crazy to see how much your channel has grown these past few months, you deserve it, keep up the great work!! I people probably ask all the time about dragon age but when do you think you’ll play it? Anyways great vid regardless
The growth is very crazy, every time I think it's going to taper off it doesn't, I'm glad everyone shows up and enjoys these every time.
Baldur's Gate 3 has got me wanting to (finally) make a return to Dragon Age Origin, I never played DA2 or Inquisition, so anything on the full series would be quite far off. Something specific on Origin is doable.
Particle Rifle aka The Kamehameha gun
Geth sniper + max'd out weapon damage + javelin is based. Love using it in multiplayer
I never knew I needed this
Can’t wait til y’all rank the multiplayer classes!
Ah yes the Talon
M-7 Lancer and the particle rifle are my favorite because they have no ammo like in ME1 (to me it’s a cooler and more original concept to have weapons recharge instead of just doing boring ammo)
You made my Friday
You made it to the end of the week 👍
I can't stop stop watching these
Pretty sure I used the Indra for a decent chunk of my Insanity run. Played as Vanguard, it's light enough that it doesn't really impact the charge-nova loop, you can stack charge-slowdown with the sniper-aim-slowdown mod so you get some time to assess the situation in between being an angry pinball and it does just enough damage to deal with chumps who survive a charge-detonation (or shred riot-shield cerberus troopers if they block the charge). Definitely other weapons that could do the job, but the Indra has high ammo and enough range that you can safely plink away at dense enemy groups that are too dangerous to charge at.
Can't remember what I switched to or if I even switched at all. Detonations just overshadow every other source of damage and having that breathing-room from the slowdown to see where the Dark Channel jumped is so useful.
The Argus makes such a satisfying “recharge” noise between bursts tho, really makes it feel like you’re firing big ass slugs in those bursts
Plasma SMG is great once you have fully upgraded ammo with AOE effects (like inferno/disruptor) - then by applying mods that extend the ammo capacity (so that you can prefire it ) you would vaporise enemy waves even before they manage to shoot you
You guys did my phaeston dirty! It feels SO good to shoot things with, while the lancers heat-mechanic annoys me to Omega and back THRICE without even buying me a dance!
Still amazing video though! Jenkins shines upon all of us for wittnessing this.
Note: May just be me, but I kind of digg the Piranha on my current infiltrator run. Basicly going invisible on get right into the fray after pounding the tanks with incinerate, hack and/or grenades in combination with me3s geth shield-equivalent as bonus power. Basicly the terrorist-version of the manguard. It's pretty fun.
Because sniping is for chumps! Nothing is more sneaky than a full-auto shotgun!
I had an idea for future president content i had to suggest. Insanity difficulty mission guides and tactics each class can use on those missions. Donald has already shown his draw to vanguard and Biden has shown his appeal for adept and engineer.
Make me want to go play mass effect 2 and 3 in max difficulty with every class and try to use the guns in a smart way for once and then try to make a tier list of my own. Keep going brother. You are reigniting the mass effect flame in us
I can tell without a doubt, mastering the reload cancel, my S tier will include the M - 300 Claymore Krogan Shotgun. Works well on Soldier too, using the Adrenaline Rush the Claymore becomes double shotty - DooM Super Shotgun level. Add incendiary ammo and melt faces, whatever is left, is most likely primed for tech combo by using the Concussive Shot or instructing one of your squad mates to zap 'em with Overload. For single player you can use the alternate way of reload cancel by using cover that cuts the animation short. Suddenly the gun starts to behave like an automatic shotgun. Sheppard's enemies will know true fear, once he starts to shoot. And I don't want to even add Inferno Grenades to the mix - you can spec them into damage with the final choice being Armor damage. Everything melts and explodes with tech combos.
Of course running engineer with N7 Typhoon makes the mayhem even bigger (if you want to be REALLY annoying the Geth Shotgun is another good choice). For multiplayer the Armageddon combo - N7 Paladin + Quarian Engineer does not melt them, it deletes them. But that's a different story.
The Mattock is the best gun. I use it almost exclusively because it can match most snipers, and is still useful at close range.
Eh, I forever maintain that the regular Widow is better than the Black Widow for the ability to one-shot or otherwise quickly the tougher Collector and Reaper elite mobs that have a lot of armor if you get headshots. Scions are my prime example. And as far as I'm concerned, if you want to use a sniper as one of your main weapons, you should always be aiming for headshots, which is why I don't really care much for the snipers like the Incisor with burst or auto fire. And when compared to the Black Widow, I feel the Widow is just better as despite technically having lower DPS than the Black Widow, you don't really need DPS from a sniper rifle, you want maximum damage per shot to make it easy to kill even the biggest enemies before they can close the gap.

On my initial play through as an Infiltrator I actually found the Indra pretty useful. I liked its weight, ammo capacity, and magazine size, and with the sniper concentration mod and the armor piercing mod I could usually cloak and take out a couple low level grunts with 2-3 head shots each and could even force them out of cover since I could penetrate through a lot of it. I also had no problem taking out an Atlas Mech with it, usually went through about two magazines. I'm sure I would think differently at a higher difficulty level but so far I haven't noticed too much of a difference between playing on casual as an Infiltrator and hardcore as a Vangaurd. The first game seemed a little easier past a certain point and in 2, my initial Collector encounters on Horizon have mostly been easier. Not being able to snipe the initial Scions before they attacked in the last section of it was a bit of a pain and the Praetorian took a while to whittle down, but the regular Collectors are almost too easy.
I can't believe the Reegar got ranked at "Good" tier.
It was a literal meme in the ME community that by equipping it with Armor-piercing mods/ammos, you could just delete powerful targets with 0 effort. Even Boss Class enemies would just get eaten alive by this weapon.
They weren't taking mods into consideration when ranking, they said so at the start.
My only complaint about the Revenant is that it’s muzzle flash it’s so big you can’t track what you’re shooting at if you mag dump while aiming.
It also should give an epilepsy warning if you’re playing in a dim-lit room. Dear goodness. I was like that video of a guy playing CS:GO and getting constantly flashbanged but at 50x speed on loop.
