1. Mattock with Disruptor Ammo
2. Vindicator with armor piercing ammo

Which do you prefer, and why?

I am a vindicator fan because of its accuracy and looks but have also grown to like mattock because of its insane damage and rate of fire. Ammo depends on the enemies, heavy distruptor/inferno ammo for me and cryo ammo for squad.

Mattock with disruptor ammo. I never spray and pray either, I tend to use it in a "semi-auto" fashion....barely tapping the trigger, control burst I guess.

Im not super keep on the Mattock... too much rapid clicking for my likes.
revenant/geth rifle i like - though that's for personal opinion and gameplay. Rapid fire, but still moderatly accuracte.

Revenant w/ Inferno Ammo
I prefer getting closer to enemies, and taking them down, fast.
And, Hey! I like fire!

[JimL68]

I like Mattock for medium to long range encounters. Closer in, I prefer Vindicator or even GPR. Mattock is a great choice for a caster class. I also like it on a Vanguard for those times when charging in is a good way to get killed.

eff that i stick with the collector assault rifle

HMWA X with Frictionless Materials X and Scramrail X. You can pretty much shoot that forever without overheating. Usually either Tungsten VII rounds or Inferno X rounds, depending on which enemies I'm facing. Occasionally Sledgehammer X rounds, but they can lead to overheating.

As a Soldier I like Mattock + appropriate ammo power better than the Vindicator. AR with a Mattock is broken [that's how good it is].

For other classes I don't usually get AR training so the point is moot. I think I'd just about rather have the Geth AR or the Collector AR instead of either of those for the relatively steady rates of fire.

Edit:  I've never been a fan of the feel of the Vindicator in game no matter what the class.  I just never worked for me.  I don't mind a Shuriken SMG but the Vindy is off in a manner that I obviously can't explain well.

Why does it have to be Disruptor for one and AP for the other? What if I'm fighting collectors? Disruptor wouldn't help much there. But AP would.

But... Mattock. It sounds like a real gun. Not sure what the Vindicator sounds like, but for me its sound is the major drawback. Otherwise that too is a beast of a gun.

I also like how the mattock shoots, it reminds me of the predator but longer range, more ammo, and more damage. Still as a battle rifle it doesn't feel like an assault rifle to me. So my second favorite is probably the vindicator.

Mattock > all. Of course it's 'flaw' with ammo capacity being its only 'negative' there isn't really any reason to use anything else. Unless of course cosmetics is the reason you play the game. and if that's case then just stick with whatever gun you think looks the best, ignoring  performance.

Mattox with shredder ammo

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Mattock. I've never been able to shoot well with the Vindy

[mokponobi]

Mattock with the appropriate ammo for the encounter. Turn on AR and tap tap tap is usually all it takes to take down armor or shields, then switch to the next appropriate weapon or use squadmates powers to finish it off., btw with a soldier you should never run out of options or ammo if you are using the right weapon for the right range.

As other posters have mentioned, ammo choice depends on the encounter. One of my Soldiers has Disruptor, Inferno and Warp ammo maxed out, well and truly prepared for any encounter. Strip shields at range then move in for the kill with my shotty. That said, mattock with inferno ammo on LoTSB when the mercs are landing on Azure is a sight to behold.

[Praetor Knight]

For ammo powers, I recommend going with Inferno and Squad Cryo as a soldier and Vanguard, because of their CC ability on Insanity. I've also tried Heavy Disruptor and I have been preferring to go Squad or only invest enough to unlock the others for soldiers.

So for the soldier class in general, I would then recommend Inferno with Squad Disruptor or Squad Cryo. Enemy protections strip rather easily so the key depends on what you want to do to the enemy with CC abilities from ammo powers.

Also, Tungsten and Heavy Warp ammo seem to work very well on the Tempest as an Assault Sentinel.

And lastly I've enjoyed using the GPR with Inferno as a soldier, so I'd recommend it for anyone to try out not picking the Revvy.

Mattock (best rifle) with Warp ammo (the most powerful ammo power). It's freaking amazing.

Hmm...

Which class(es) and powers do you recommend that combo with?

[ashwind]

Revenant + inferno. This gun has "personality" unlike "some" overpowered paid DLC weapon that takes all the challenge away from the game + it has no personality

[Praetor Knight]

Different?
Well GPR with Inferno is different enough, according to what I've read; and/or going with a Claymore Soldier.
