What is the best collector weapon choice for a sentinel on insanity?

[Kronner]

Shotgun - Eviscerator rocks.



If you have Shotgun and Assault Armor, you will be a true tank and great at close combat. You also have SMG (Locust) to take care of distant targets you cannot get to.

Totally depends on what kind of sentinel you are. What are you?

[I Tsunayoshi I]

Assault shout go shotty and Power should go sniper. No need for AR thanks to the Locust.

I like my sniper rifle, since it was my bonus weapon in ME1. I find that with all their debuff/defense stripping, they have enough stopping power close to mid range, but long range is where they need power. Mantis shot to the head solves that problem.

People like to hype up that locust don't they? Personally... I hate that thing.

Hype? Why? It is the best SMG for mid and long range combat. No hype needed.

I absolutely love the Locust. Personally my third fav gun in the game (Revenant, Widow, then Locust in that order). I love the sound, accuracy, and feel. My only gripe would be bigger clip size!

At close range you get more damage from a tempest.  As far as I can tell... the vindicator does better damage than the locust.  I can understand the appeal if someone is choosing the claymore for a vanguard or the widow for an infiltrator... but I just find the vindicator is a superior weapon to the locust (personaly opionion though... which is all these debates boil down to).

And even more from Eviscerator. Yes, Vindicator is probably better than Locust, but not so much better that it would be better to take it over Shotgun or Sniper Rifle. Just my opinion anyways.

I prefer not to get that close with a sentinel... then again I'm not an experienced sentinel.  I'm still working on my sentinel playthrough.  I'm more of an adept and vanguard kind of person.

I sit back with a Locust in one hand and slapping people with Warp and Throw fields like a pimp to a ho. Something big pokes out and I introduce them to my little friend called the Incisor with Tungsten Ammo or a grenade to the face.

[NICKjnp]

I like to sit there with a tempest or vindicator in my hands and firing off all my different powers. If they get to close I just freeze them and throw them to the other side of the map.

[Njorls]

Shotgun and Assault Rifle are both good choices. What I did was save at the Collector start, chose shotgun, then later reloaded and chose AR. I finished both games. And I'm still not sure which one I prefer.



The Locust is nice but the Vindicator's better IMHO. It's nice to be able to do everything with 1 weapon. It's also fun to get up close with the shotgun. And either one works on Insanity.

True, but if you're a class that either fights at longer ranges or has something else to handle close combat, the Locust steams ahead. Hell, the Locust's DPS isn't even that far behind the Tempest, thanks to it's headshot-friendly characteristics.

Yeah, the Vindi is probably a superior weapon in terms of DPS. But the Viper is a superior weapon to the Vindi

A shotgun.

In fact, the shotgun. Get the M-300

Ah, a fellow cheater-modder. Welcome, brother

[mosor]

I always take the shotgun on a sentinel, but the viper would make a great choice if you're CQC shy.

I don't like to snipe.  I like to fight medium range.

[Spartas Husky]

I say, the Sniper.



Without modding my game. I have a pistol locust and viper.



With modding my file, I have a Vindicator (lots of ammo), SMG, mantis.



So, if you use powers most than vanguard style punching, snipers.

That's a fair point. I guess the moral of the story isn't so much 'pick this weapon', but maintain a balance of guns that are weighted towards your preferences. A Carnifex/Tempest/Vindicator  selection is a pretty balanced combo if you prefer med-range fighting.

I ended up plumping for the Locust because my Adept carries a Widow, Revenant and a Scimitar i.e. he's lacking a long range weapon that has some stamina in terms of ammo (the widow is a bloomin' howitzer, but with 13 shots, it doesn't last that long).
