I just mod it to him but it makes no sense. He was a professional soldier, i.e. should be using an Assault Rifle...

Anyone else feel this way?

[Mr Zoat]

Felt that way, fixed it with an editor. Changed his pistol for a rocket launcher in the most recent play through.

Shepard is an ex-alliance soldier and in all but one class they dont' use assualt rifles....Kaidan doesn't use Assault rifles (until 2 at least)

Not all Soldiers use Assault Rifle..why is that weird?

He also doesn't have Adrenaline Rush..what's up with that?

[monrapias]

he's not a soldier though.
used to be one, but isn't one.

Because Jacob has to hit them with the good stuff so he didn't have time to learn how to use an assault rifle.

[Infinite Legend_]

because he like to get up in the enemies faces to show them how boring he is, so the shotgun blasts them with a heavy dose of the prize....

Jacob is still part of cerberus if you havent destroyed the collector base

[cast2007]

I think that Jacob is designed to be more like a Vanguard. Hence why he has a shotgun.

Also since he has the pull ability he doesn't really need a long range weapon like an assault rifle. All he needs to do is use his biotics to pull his enemies close enough to give them a little fun time with his shotgun.

Because jacob NEEDS to die. bioware realised that in the end, so they gave him a sucky weapon

[Dean_the_Young]

Jacob's more or less an ME1 Vanguard in the first place.

But...the prize...

[appleyum]

In most cut scene everybody use assault rifle even if they don't have the skill for it.

[Stardusk78]

My biggest gripe with Jacob is the GPS; Incendiary Ammo does not work well with it at all and Inferno, not at all, yet it is the most effective shotgun for squaddies...

[jamesp81]

He uses it because nothing says ***k off quite like the business end of a shotgun.

[gorrillasnake]

jacob uses the shotgun because..he likes to get close for the Priiize

This. He's a Vanguard pre-charge.

Which was pretty much my first reaction when I imported my first character (a Vanguard) into ME2. "WTF is this charge thing, why isn't it working, and where the hell is my throw?"

Then I charged for the first time O_o.

I usually replace his pistol with assault rifles, because Jacob as a shotgun vanguard lacks the resilience (even with barrier) to use his weapon correctly. The only squadmate that uses the shotgun reasonably well is Grunt. As for lore reasons, i think bioware did not give him assault rifles because too many squadmates already had them, unfortunately few of them need it more than Jacob.

[naledgeborn]

Jacob is a walking retcon. In Mass Effect Galaxy he was an AR Sentinel.

[Mr0TYuH]

^ ^
I was going to post something very similar.

[CroGamer002]

I don't remember Kaidan and non-Soldier Shepard to know how to use Assault Rifle.

[Steel Hurtin]

Because assault rifles =/= prize.

[Randy1012]

Because Jacob's a human male, and the only human squadmates they want you to use are the sexy female ones, so they made all the male ones boring, useless, or both.

[Nathan Redgrave]

He's not a soldier-class solder, he's a biotic. That means if he falls into one of the six Shepard classes, it'll be Adept, Vanguard, or Sentinel.

Which he doesn't, but having him using a shotgun makes sense. Also, Soldiers use shotguns, so it's a moot point anyway--you're just assuming he dumped his level-up points into Assault Rifle, which he obviously didn't. =3

I give him AR instead anyway...works much better with Infernoammo.
