Just asking.  Especially after the badassery that is the Locust, why bother with any of the other guns when you get to pick an extra?

[Jalisurr]

I usually get the assault rifle on my Sentinals, Engineers, and Adepts, just because they aren't all that great snipers (no time slow down like Soldier and Infiltrator) and the Vindicator is a great multi-purpose weapon.

[omgitztommy3]

I used to always get an assault rifle for my adept, but ever since the Locust, I just get anything. I never really use the bonus weapons now.

[Silvanend]

I never pick the Sniper Rifle, With my Vanguard I took the Assault Rifle.

[jgomezish]

I still picked the Vindicator for my Adept because you can never go wrong with it ... and it's great once it runs out of ammo I still have the Locust .

I pick the shotgun on my engineer and adept. I love the eviscerator. The first time through I got the sniper though. I'm in the minority it seems but I prefer the tempest.

For non-soldier classes, Locust is the new assault rifle. The sniper is the rational option at this point since the Locust is on par with the Vindicator. Having both means that you are not using one since both have the same effective range/accuracy/power unlike the sniper which helps for long range. Those guns are essentially stepping over each other if you opt to have both.



On a side note, since they can't get the Locust, Soldiers should treat themselves to Flashbomb. It fits thematically and makes Concussive shot obsolete.

I used to get AR because I find the vindicator the best all-around weapon in the game, but now that the locust is available, I'll probably go with snipers.

[NICKjnp]

I never go with a sniper rifle. As for the Locust.... yeah it is good for distance but sometimes you need a very fast firing weapon for barrier and shield penetration on insanity (which is the Tempest). Also... the Vindicator is a realy good multipurpose gun.

Concussive shot isn't completely obsolete because it can take out barriers while the gernade can't.

Tested. Locust is the new assault rifle. Solid multi purpose gun from close to mid. Insanity approved. The sniper opens up an avenue previously closed to most classes except for soldiers and infiltrator. If you decide to go for the AR, suit yourself, but if min/max, go sniper. Limiting yourself is non optimal.

I'd still take the Vindicator over the Viper, though I've always considered the two close.  They're both specialty weapons if you have the Locust though; Vindicator is a headshot machine, while Viper chews up Ymirs and Scions.

The Avenger and friends are obsolete though.  If they ever made a balance patch to this game it's clear Assault Rifles would need a buff across the board.

Shotgun for my sent, and infi on one run. Rest of the plays have had snipers.

[ELJIKTIM]

I choose assualt rife for all my classes, expect soilder which gets most weapons.

[Jedi Sensei]

Vanguard, Claymore, period



AR for all others.

[lazorexplosion]

I prefer the Vindicator rifle, that thing is already practically a sniper rifle. Better DPS than the locust, too, and you can also have the shuriken or tempest for better dps vs shields and barriers.

[ScroguBlitzen]

I took Revenant with my Soldier because I knew none of my other classes would get to use it, so that's the only way to experience it.



It IS pretty satisfying to mow down Harbinger with it and Heavy Warp Ammo.

[almighty.zer]

I thought about it, but if you're playing insanity there's no time to aim and be exposed.

[curly haired boy]

probably going to go for the sniper just so i can take out scions at range.



not gonna bother with the claymore, i prefer the scimitar

[Kronner]

Claymore for Vanguard

Shotguns/AR for Sentinel (both are really good)

AR for Adept, Engineer

Revenant for Soldier

Widow for Infiltrator

[tanstaafl28]

Widowmaker WIDOWMAKER! BOOM!

[OniGanon]

SRs suck on casters due to the godawful zoom-in when using abilities from cover. I can't stand that crap and I don't know how anyone can. Fills me with hate and rage every time it happens. Only class I'd take SR on as bonus is Vanguard.



Even being somewhat redundant with the Locust, the Vindicator is still great for Sentinels, Adepts and Engineers simply because they only have two guns. Another gun means more ammo.
