it should be possible to wield an assault rifle as an infiltrator, engineer e.t.c

and i think it should be possible to wield only an assault rifle... so you don't have to carry so many weapons... couse thats just bad looking

[casedawgz]

1. It is possible to learn assault rifle training on every class.

2. Good luck getting support for that one.

Just can't beat the usefulness and versatility of the Vindacator.

Well... The locust > Vindicator... Sorry

[DravenShep]

I just stick with the collector AR and if I don't use it, I'll go with the BR.

Locust is not better than the Vindicator. The Vindicator definitely has the Best Armor Destroying Capabilities and devestates enemies far quicker than the Locust. The Locust is definitely powerful but no where near the vindicator.

Are you MAD? Locust damage is pretty low. The Vindicator owns everything when we talk about normal weapons.

You're all wrong! The GPR is the best.

I agree. The Locust may be accurate, but it has a seriously low clip/overall dps output. I usually pick up SR training with classes who do not have a unique weapon proficiency.

I agree your back get's cluttered with all the guns but just bringing one gun doesn't make much sense.

Not for a soldier since adrenaline rush allows you to use the Vindicator's superior accuracy to score multiple headshots; but for every other class the fully automatic albeit somewhat less accurate Locust is superior.  Of course the fact that a Soldier can't use an SMG to begin with (which pisses me off) renders the comparison somewhat academic when it comes to soldiers.  Still even if you modded the game to allow your soldier to use the Locust it could never outclass the repeated headshots the Vindicator lets you lay down.

My Commando Soldier (with heightened adrenaline rush) is a damned surgeon with the Vindicator and the damage I can lay down with my Vindicator puts the Locust to shame.  At medium range the Vindicator is the most powerful gun in the game, it even outclasses the Revenant (although the Revenant is a beast if you get in closer).

Adept + Vindicator + Warp Ammo = Good Times

Less accurate? It has no recoil. You can unload a full clip into an enemies head pretty easy. Even if they're far away. It's a bit op actually.

The Vindicator also has no recoil and the Locust reticle isn't as small and precise as on the Vindicator which means your bullets will spray over a larger area at longer ranges. Due to the larger reticle there is a small degree of bullet spread on the Locust which causes a few of the rounds to miss their target, with the Vindicator every single round goes exactly where you're aiming.

Correctomundo.  The Locust is awesome for shot/medium range, and pretty much negates the need for SMG using classes to go for AR's.  The Vindicator is  awesome at medium/long range, and pretty much negates the need for soldiers to take SMG's for shrot range punch.

The Locust is pretty much there to add some variety for Engineers and Adepts.  For both classes, the weapon choice on the Collector Ship is pretty obvious; Assault Rifles.  Vangaurds use mostly shotguns, Soldiers are artists with AR's, and infiltrators are born with sniper rifles in their hands.  For them, the Locust is merely a neat toy that fills a niche they never really needed filled.  Sentinels, because of their horrendous defensive capability, can use whatever they dammed well please.

Locust is a specialists weapon, AR's of all types are the ultimate generalists.***


***Though I prefer an Avenger after the accuracy mod is researched.  Pretty much negates the Vin's advantage, while maintianing the Averngers massive ammo load.

Hmmm...I'd say that the Vindicator vs. Locust isn't so clear-cut. Remember, the Vindicator fires a 3-shot burst, and has a painfully low magazine count. The Locust is single-shot burst, which is infinitely superior if you ask me, since you can take single shots. I've not played a Soldier yet, since Infiltrator is just too good for me, so I can't say whether ARs are hot stuff or not.

So....in other words, you have no idea what you are talking about? Please refrain from commenting until you have used both on the same difficulty.

A Revenant with Adrenaline Rush is a force to be reckoned with.

I can use the available in-game data to draw a conclusion, or form an opinion.
