Hey, I'm doing two playthroughs with each class. I've already done an AR engineer and I'm wondering if my second engineer would be better with a shotgun or a sniper rifle. On one hand, I'm more inclined to use the sniper rifle so I can pick off enemies distracted by my drone at a distance. On the other hand, I've played as an infiltrator who used Energy Drain as a bonus power which might give me deja vu. I'm wondering if a shotgun Engineer is as good as people say it is or if the sniper rifle is better.

The other class that I'm wondering about is which weapons work for is the Adept. I'm mostly trying to find classes that a sniper rifle works with that don't get it by default. Is a sniper rifle any god with an adept or are adepts better with shotguns and ARs?

The Viper is a beast DPS wise.



If you were willing to play "cautiously" with the Adept and Engineer, I dont see why the Sniper Rifles wouldnt be an awesome choice.



Shotguns= CQC - you like to be IN the action getting shot at

Sniper= Range Casting - you like to avoid taking damage in general and prefer to sit afar taking out guys one by one. Snipers work well to strip protections too followed by pulls or freezes, or use protection strippers then headshot snipes.



I will say if you take Sniper Rifle training, its pretty much going to be the Viper, however for shotguns its more your preference (though I think most agree the Geth Plasma Shotgun is the best)

Sniper rifles are a great pistol replacement (you usually get sniper rifle upgrades before pistol upgrades, and they have great modifiers) for either class and you can actually cast powers on enemies technically out of range if you cast it while in sniper zoom. I'm actually in the middle of a sniper adept (although I primarily use the SMG and leave the viper exclusively to armored targets) playthrough myself.

I tend to prefer the shotgun though since I like to get in melee range and obliterate things. This thread has some info and vids on shotgun engineers if you want to take a gander, and its only 2 pages long.

Bozorgmehr's Power of the Adept thread has some useful vids and info on shotgun adepts.

The way the game zooms in when casting from cover with a SR in hand, that irritates the crap out of me. But if you can put up with that, the Viper does quite nicely for the caster classes as a defense stripper and pistol supplement, and you can cast through zoom for extra range.

Sounds like a shotgun engineer and sniper adept would probably suit me best.

Out of all my unmodded characters, my Sniper Adept was my favourite. Locust/Viper/Arc Projector offered plenty of firepower for what is commonly thought of a weapons-light class.

The Locust, Viper and Arc Projector *are* my favourite weapons in the game, however, so I'm a bit biased in that regard. But it was a playthrough that went *very* smoothly - I never found myself in a situation where I felt outgunned or overwhelmed.
