I like it on an Infiltrator (Geth) but that is about it.

The Claymore ignored the shield gate on Gold, right?. That's enough for me.

I don't see why people think its not a good weapon...I can 1 shot pyros and phantoms on gold with a human infiltrator (as long as its a headshot, I never use equipment btw) and pretty much 1 shot everything else with normal body shots with just cloak and that was when I had a claymore V. I havn't tried it with GI or a SI yet and im sure that they would make it even easier.I just love sticky grenades and it gives me a reason to use thermal packs lol.

Best shotgun in multiplayer until GPS bug is fixed

I'm just gonna say, i LOVE the Claymore, and now i love it even more after reading some of you pplz strategies for it!! ^-^

Old threads like this are interesting: the game has changed so much, not only from balance patches, but also from an increase in player skill and understanding. The claymore is arguably one of the best weapons in the game, and was used in the fastest recorded speedrun.

This is an old thread based on the demo. Claymore's damage has been buffed since this thread was made. Whoever cast the necro spell on this thread should not have done it. That said, I absolutely love Claymore in ME3, just like I did in ME2. Even the reload trick made it back. Yay!

Let me also point out I dont think there is anyone out there that has a level 10 claymore either. Has anyone looked to what leveling the claymore has. All I know is my level 3 claymore is +2% cooldown on my human vanguard.

i have a claymore 10 my cool down with my infiltrator is +35 best gun in game one shot almost anything and drop bosses no prob

[PraetorianVIII]

Krogan Sentinel is about the only class I can use it on. It's just too heavy for any other classw with no Krogan.

Claymore is the BEES-KNEES! Ever rock a Claymore with an Asari Adept? Beast mode! Stasis, shoot, rinse, repeat. The much talked about Infiltrator Claymore combo is about the best you can get...now you see me, now you're dead. My claymore X on my infiltrator gives me +42% recharge rate, however, my cloak still charges in 3 seconds...

If it weren't for the Paladin and the Claymore, I don't even know which guns I would use...

Not sure Claymore is the best choice for all classes, but it's certainly good for infiltrators as has been mentioned already. You're not trying to put out constant damage, you're trying to burst in time with your cloak cooldown. In that type of style, the Claymore's weaknesses aren't highlighted, and it's strengths are emphasized.

Also, if you're hunkered down in cover up front, taking fire for the team, it's a similar situation. You can only pop up for a second anyway. If you were using something else, your DPS would take a major hit. But with the Claymore, popping up for only a second doesn't hurt your DPS at all--it all goes out with that one shot.

The whole thing with slow-fire weapons is to use positioning to emphasize their strengths and de-emphasize their weaknesses. You only expose yourself for the split second it takes to make your shot, then disappear. That way, you'll only take a little bit of pew pew and drop OHKO bombs in return. If there's a lot of trash on the field, you focus on tougher ones so your weapon potential isn't wasted on overkill (or use your powers instead depending on your class), and let teammates that focused on powers or faster weapons take down the smaller units. If field has been cleared of tough units and it's just the trash left, yes, you are somewhat less efficient (but not drastically so). But by that point the wave has pretty much been won already anyway.

Why would anyone use any weapon?  Because it fits with what they want to do, thats why.

It´s my favourite shotgun, just use it on a Krogan Sentinel/Soldier. It easily 1 shots a Centurion on Silver and has pretty good damage at range.

[valor163]

The claymore is the best shotgun in the game.
put it on an infiltrator and watch the destruction.
on my Geth infiltrator i use nothing else, it fits in perfectly with a cloak cycle, not to mention if a prime or atlas is giving you hassle, you can cloak, prox mine, shoot.
might take a cloak cycle or two but that sucker is toast

[JShepppp]

Makes a difference in Gold and even Silver. I don't have time to fire five times; I'd rather one time works. I also play as a Krogan when I use it. If I played as my Salarian Infiltrator I'd be using the Widow of course.

But the reload time isn't that slow. It's a shotgun so you don't even really ahve to aim. I've never thought of it as a main offensive weapon but more of a last-resort or support weapon if I get overwhelmed. I use the Revenant with a stability mod otherwise.

The damage it does is absolutely insane. Below Gold, without the shield barrier thingy (I assume readers know what I'm talking about) it can one-shot pretty much anyone. On Gold, it'll probably take two shots, but the blowback to enemies allows for a second to do the reload. 

As I said I normally play as an infiltrator so compared to the widow/mantis, the claymore's reload seems faster for some reason. So it never bothered me that much.

key is to use it on an infiltrator.

[kaiten408]

Because it says "3OO-M" down the side of it and says BOOM when you shoot it.

You press the medigel button to cancel the reload. Soon as the thermal clip enters the chamber.

You can also cancel it using a power. Tactical Cloak is a good choice as you can slip straight into the damage bonus from the cancelled reload.

[Darkslayer557]

If you're using a power dependent class obviously you shouldn't use the claymore. However it's a beasty gun in a KS's hand. Carnage at the fastest recharge is just fast enough to cancel every reload of claymore. As a result it has much higher DPS than it should have. Learn to use a weapon instead of complaining about it.
