Not really.

My AR Vanguard experimented with the GPS.

Not worth it.

GPS for short range/mid range
Mattock for mid range/longer range

I've had fun with the build, the GPS is not the best weapon ive used (ironically i prefer the Scimi, despite bigging up the GPS in the last post) however it can give some variety for those that want to try and go down the semi-caster route with Vanguards, as the weapon is a good ranged defense stripper for a shotgun.

[AntiChri5]

Yeah thats what i did.

Matrock and GPS. It was boring, i only charged as finishers. To me, the entire point of being a Vanguard is CHARGECHARGECHARGE!

Does anybody else think the Mattock is a better charge weapon then the GPS?

I've never used the Geth Plasma Shotgun, but I love the Scimitar. It's great for stacking up cyro/inferno powers.

I actually enjoyed an Evi/Mattock VG recently. Since I'm not terribly good with the Claymore, I gave it a try and I liked it. I used the Mattock for everything that a Shotgun isn't ideal for (mid/long range, running and gunning husks, Praetorians/Scions, etc.)

Fixed for me. I just love the sound the Claymore makes <3

Another reason is NG+, my last 2 playthroughs were Vanguard NG+ and I could one shot guys with only 2 SG upgrades 

Yes, the Claymore is a beast.

If you catch Harby in the middle of transforming, you can pretty much kill him by the time he finishes his transformation... but there is this "cheating/reload trick" that... is morally wrong to do, even to harby

:devil:

GPS is amazing on anyone but a vnguard. I used it almost exclusively on my sentinel, but fr vanguard I feel GPS is way to hard to use well. You dnt wanna have t charge it u after a charge. Scimitar s great and forgiving. Great if you just want t strip 3-4 enemies of their defenses quickly. Personally I ike the ltimate punch of claymore and eviscerator. Evi is mre forgiving but still huge dps. Claymore is just straight fun. Charge - boom - dead, chage next mob - boom - dead, etc. much fun.

GPS is a BEAST!!!!! Its the longest range shotty, and drops multiple enemies standing in a line. If you can carry a sniper rifle FORGET the Mattock and take a RAPTOR, way better ROF and has a scope already so you can still use both mod slots. The Geth make the best weapons, GPS and GPR.

^ Wrong game.

[MadCat221]

IMO, I prefer the Scimitar.  It has the highest Damage/sec of all the shotguns short of the Claymore with the Reload Trick, and its ammo lasts a whole lot longer.

Pair it with incendiary ammo, and all unarmored foes around you will be doing the Fire Swat Dance.  It only gets better once you move up to ME3.

Geth Plasma Shottie makes a great squaddie gun for a vanguard player though.  Pass 'em around to all the shottie-wielding squaddies.

Neither. DPS is not the name of the game with a Vanguard, burst damage is. You don't want to charge and then sit around all day shooting something with the Scimitar. You want to charge and take out an enemy in one shot, or perhaps one shot plus a melee or two.

Eviscerator or Claymore are my preference on a Vanguard. If you were going to run Cryo Ammo then perhaps Scimitar is an ok choice, but there is little occasion in the game where this is all that helpful. Those being chiefly the Geth missions since Incendiary is near useless against them.

For Collector or Husk missions, I would rather just run Inferno with a good shotgun and have the squad run Squad Cryo. That way they will practically freeze any husks that approach.

[MadCat221]

Yeah, that works against one damage sponge foe. In the more likely event you're rushing in to multiple foes, you'll need a way to spread the pain around fast.

Which is not a Scimitar.  Scimitar is adequate on Vanguard if you choose to run Cryo but it is far from optimal.

The way you engage multiples is with multiple charges and a decent shotgun with melee.
