I haven't been able to figure out if the Incisor Sniper Rifle or if the Geth Plasma Shotgun benefit from the sniper and shotgun upgrades you get during the game.
Does anyone else know if they are, or do they do a set amount of damage?
I'm curious if the individual upgrades help and if the special traits you unlock at 2 and 3 total upgrades count.
Incisor Rifle and Geth Shotgun - Do they benefit from upgrades?

I believe they do - I read somewhere that only the name is not change but the effects of the upgrades will be taken into effect. The most noticeable effect is the shotgun ammo upgrade.

The geth plasma shotgun does benefit from upgrades. I don't know about the Incisor though, it still shows up on my game as "M-29" even though the Widow is listed as "X98d" or whatever it is.

According to Christina Normal, the DLC items do benefit from upgrades. The lack of a name change is a minor glitch. Besides, how would you change 'Geth Pulse Rifle' to reflect the upgrades? Xeth Pulse Riflee?

They benefit. But a better question is why would you even think of using the Incisor rifle???

seconded, if your not picking up the anti-material rifle, it's best to use the viper, it's murderously good.

Incisor works better on squadmates that the viper. Some thought it was bugged ( doing same damage as in Shepard's hands ) but developers clearly state that it has same penalty as other weapons in squadmates hands. So its a great gun for Garrus or Thane or Zaeed.
Here is quote from moderator, Eric ****nan
"I asked our weapon designer and he has verified this in the past and the henchmen do still have a penalized damage output on that weapon. Keep in mind that henchmen are very accurate with that weapon, and the weapon always fires 3 bullets at a time. Also, henchmen have unlimited ammo."

Yeah, I put the incisor on my squadmates because it never seems to have any ammo. But because it has bonuses to all forms of protection instead of armor, they just obliterate people with it.

Incisor with upgrades is better on Thane, Garrus, Legion and Zaeed. Your teammates get triple headshots [from my experience] all the time. I biotic pulled some merc and Garrus fired one incisor burst. All three rounds hit the mercs head while he was floating in the air upside down.
So imagine this: boosted headshot damage, boosted damage and 3 rounds to the head. It's even more grusome when Garrus has Tungsten ammo because of the headshot spatter and the damage.
For Geth shotgun it does look like the upgrades do effect it. I forgot if ammo upgrade works for it.

No, it's deliberate. Having searched the text files, the Incisor's designation systme is actually different to every other weapon - it's permanently set as the M-29. If you change is to the alternate 'normal' Incisor text line, it does adapt to the whole M --> S --> X system, but it's called the 'M-1 Incisor', not the M-29. Dunno why they felt the need to change it.swk3000 wrote...

Legion has a Widow. No reason to give him the Incisor.
Anyways, about using the Incisor on Shep, it's okay, just low on ammo. Aesthetically, it's my favorite gun in the game.
But everyone is correct, upgrades do affect the weapons.
