So far, I have finished the game with every single class but the adept, and picked the sniper rifle training for every weaponsless class (I also took the widow with soldier and infiltrator, but got the claymore with the vanguard).
I have just gotten to the part where I can choose a weapons training for the adept, and I am tempted to get the sniper rifle again. Thing is... I have the locust now, and the locust is so acurate, I don't need a sniper rifle to hit an enemy 100 miles away. I have considered getting a shotgun/assault rifle, but the locust is also powerful at close range, and I don't think I would even think about swapping between the two weapons during combat... not to mention the game already seems easy enough as it is.

Can anyone help me choose?



I'm on insanity, BTW.

I never get the Sniper on primarily caster classes because it's so annoying when you cast a power with the sniper out - it zooms in until the power hits the enemy.



I would personally go with the AR for higher damage than the SMG and all round versatility. The Geth rifle also takes care of any shields, which is the Adept's primary area of weakness.





I've never played a CQC adept but I don't think a shotgun would be viable on Insanity.

Sniper rifle would be the most practical, but as you stated it's not really that much of an improvement since you've got the locust. The vindicator is basically a locust, so that pretty much just leaves shotguns.



My old adept was assault rifles but once the locust came out I started him over and picked shotguns. I rarely use anything but the locust, but it is satisfying to send someone flying at point-blank range with the eviscerator. Since you pretty much have all bases covered with the locust just pick what you think is the most fun. For me that's shotguns.

The locust has the same damage modifiers against defenses as assault rifles and does more dps than all the assault rifles save for the vindicator. The locust's dps isn't much worse than the vindicator but it has a lot more ammo. You're not really giving anything up by using a locust over any assault rifle.

I'd still pick the Sniper Rifle.



From what I've heard, the Locust overlaps more with the A-R than the Sniper Rifle, and I'm not that fond of Shotguns on any class but the Vanguard. However, Sniper Rifles help address a problem of Adepts in long-range combat.



I'd pick A-R if you didn't have the Locust, but since you do...I'd go the Sniper.

I like the AR over the Sniper, but I don't think you'd go wrong with any of the two. Sniper helps more to deal more damage to Scions/Harbinger with Singularity in effect. AR helps with Husks/Abominations (Love tap some of 'em with a Vindicator and Push 'em away), something that might be slightly hard to do with a Sniper (unless you're using the Viper).

I love sniper rifles but this is definitely something you'll want to consider because it is very annoying.

Same here have the Locust already so now i always take the sniper unless i'm playing soldier who gets the Rev or assault sentinel who gets the shotgun:devil:

The assault rifle can still be a good option. I wouldn't take the vindicator because it acts too much like a locust, but the avenger is pretty good. It's better at spraying things when you get swarmed than the locust.
