I recently bought the Firepower Pack. Previous threads discussing this topic are a year old, don't consider this DLC and are closed for replies.

Are the Phalanx and the Mattock the better weapons for squadmates?

[mcsupersport]

I typically use the Mattock for squaddies. It seems to hit harder and to me sounds better than most other ARs. I think it is about the same as Vindicator really in power but I don't have numbers to back anything up. I don't really like the Phalanx for most characters due to the slow shot speed, so my squad runs the Carnfex which I never really have them use. They carry it, but always stick with either the Tempest or Locust during actual play.

in terms of effectiveness:

pistols

damage per second: carnifex

- additionally increased survivability because of low mag size -> frequent reloads in cover; when used from a cover position often only fired 1-2 shots and then ducking back into cover position

survivability: phalanx

- if absolutly needed even more survivability as with carnifex, because squadmates only fire 1 shot and then duck back into cover

preferable: carnifex

assault rifles

overall: vindicator

- high damage per second, burst-type weapon -> less time out of cover -> more surviveability

outclassed:
avenger/geth pulse rifle

- already bad weapons in hands of shepard because of the low damage per shot and squadmates can't even utilize their high rate of fire

mattock

- lower squad damage modifier (0.4, the majority of the others has 0.55), squadmates can't abuse the gun's high rate of fire; weapon only useful for proccing ammo powers

Thanks, nice link. Way better than the wikia which has everything spread over umpteen pages.

What does proccing mean?

[ahgchyhn]

triggering the secondary effect of ammo powers like freezing enemies, "fire dance" etc. could be a fitting alternative description.
