 I was wondering how this combo would work. Since Turians have steady aim, do more damage with guns/rifles, and can lower recoil I was wondering how they would fair with a Revenant. I don't have either, but I remember in mass effect 2 during Jacks recruitment mission; there was a cutscene where the warden accuratly hipfire headshots a prisoner with a revenant. Yes I know that this is a cutscene, and it won't work like that, but I always thought that scene was badass, and since then I've had the desire to play a revenant toting Turian. 

Since the revenant has high recoil, and high damage I was wondering if Turian would be able to compensate for the recoil, and add to the damage, and how it would turn out. 

Has anyone tried out this combo?

That's what I'm doing right now with mine. It feels like a support class; like you're toting a LMG: your tech armor boosts your defense but slows overload/warp recharge time, so you basically just pepper people with really powerful rounds for the stagger. I haven't tried it yet on Silver, and he's only level 10 (not one of my favorite classes).

In its own way, it feels more like a "basic combat" than even the soldier does.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's working as intended, but hip-firing the Revenant as the Turian seems to be really steady, maybe more than intended. But, yes, it tends to chew through anyone who's not in cover; great for holding your lines.

Okay that sounds really badass. I'm really starting to look forward to this. (If I unlock them that is).

I don't find it worth it for a turian they don't have the movability to get close to unload a full clip then leave, and the reverent's not really good for long distance Imo.

Basically, that. It feels fun, but looking at it objectively, they don't really do a whole lot.

I will admit to feeling like a badass, though. Even without quickrolls and all that, hip-firing while walking feels almost as awesome as a krogan melee rage streak. The turian racial defense makes up for the no rolls, but it means you can't buckle under pressure.

I haven't tried it with Stability mods yet but with my Anti recoil tree filled i did,

Was dissapointed. Although it was better it still wasn't as good as the avenger(Which works great with turians if you like headshots)

Basically it's still a recoil mess that's impossible to get a headshot for any reason but luck at med-long range. it's pretty good at short range, until you have to reload which takes forever.

[MJvasNormandy]

I must admit I'm a bit disappointed with the Rev. For all it's weaknesses, it should have very high damage output, but it doesn't. The best feature it has is the large clip, but that's offset by the reload time and the fact that it's only advantageous if you sustain fire--prolonging the time you're exposed to enemy fire.

[Eclipse_9990]

That sucks. Ah well I'll just stick with the avenger.

After putting an Extended Magazine V on, with around 100+ shots and a Turian with Tech-Armor on, I can say its a very interesting thing to play as, the Revenant gives good fire-power and suppression while peppering down enemies for your allies, putting a scope on it too allows believe it or not, some nice concentrated fire on targets so you can better kill em or suppress.

Really, the prolonged fire-time isn't that bad and the reload isn't that long either, especially not when I have 100+ rounds and 300+ spare

[The Makatak]

Best thing I can say is: give it a shot. It's actually really fun when my mains get boring and there's a bronze group gearing up. I also am not bothered by top kills or points, so I like to hang back.

I did also scope the rifle, so at med/close range I'll hip fire and advance; if I get close enough for a heavy melee I'll go for it. At far range, I'll just sort of pepper the target, but I'm not looking to get kills way out there.

[Butcher_of_Torfan]

It may not be the uber weapon it was in ME2, but the Revenant works wonderfully as my Phantom insurance. When they try to close in on you, they walk face first into a firehose of bullets. You also have a big enough clip to spray it back and forth and figure out where they're at when they cloak.

[NOO3TASTIC]

You will be better off with an Avenger instead of Revenant on Turian Sentinel with points in weapon stability. Revenant has too much bullet spread and has horrible accuracy at medium to long range even with a scope. An avenger with extended clip size mod can spray bullets non stop with little to no recoil and very accurate even at headshots.

For a Turian sentinel with points in tech armor damage protection, weapon damage and stability bonus. A Mantis + Avenger is much better than only a Revenant. Avenger can deal with phantoms a lot better and quicker than Revenant.

[Esperys]

I really didn't expect to enjoy sentinel at all after playing the human to be completely honest. When I unlocked the turian, upgraded all his DR and shield buffs, then settled him around chain overloads and carrying an assault rifle, I fell in love. Great great great suppression fire/support character. Needless to say, with all the AR buffs I thought "Wait! This is what the revenant is for!".

Sadly, I was quite mistaken. I get more performance out of the avenger than I've ever gotten from the Rev. It's accuracy issues simply arn't solved by extra stability and a scope. It's incredibly unreliable.

[AreleX]

revenant + anything = the opposite of ownage

i tried my revenant vi on my lvl 20 turian sentinel, thinking in a similar way to you

it hurt my soul

revenant is terrible

I found it a very fun combo on silver, even if not as powerful as one might think coming from ME2. You really feel like a walking gun platform. It fits a fire support role very well; you can flank enemies, force them out of cover and just keep them tied down - and phantoms will never be able to re-cloack once you have them in your sights.

[Amila]

I also use the Revenant on my Turian and sometimes on my Krogan and it's a lot of fun mowing down enemies. But in all Honesty another gun would probably be more efficient at killing stuff, but it sure is awesome at close/mid ranges.

[Crimzoneyed]

Sigh I wish I had the Turian sentinel, I have the Salarian Infiltrator + quarian engineer, both of them are hard to get and both are my fav's so far, but I don't have the turian :/

[SovereignWillReturn]

Level 5 scope +Level 5 stability+ Turian stability= badass revenant.

Whate level is your revnant? I use the same mods + skill evolutions with a Rev III and it sucks for anything that isn't right in my face. Game for game, avenger scores many more kills, while still being more than capable of putting out enough fire to supress enemies and clear cover from a flank.

[Cyonan]

Even with the Turian's stability boosts and a level 5 stability mod I find that the Revenant has an effective range of just a little more than that of a shotgun. If you want to sit back and pick things off at range with an AR, you're much better off still going with the Avenger or Mattock.

That said, it completely wrecked anything that got anywhere close to me. It even made fairly short work of atlases.

[Earadis]

Maybe Revenant X is an alternative, but I have my doubts. Even if it would do slightly more dmg than the avenger I would still prefere the shorter cooldown for overload.

I hope that other heavy rifles like the Saber are going to be more enjoyable.

[IronSabbath88]

My Turian uses a Mattock X and Hornet II. He's pretty solid. I've yet to see him go down once because Tech Armor is maxed, as is Fitness and his speciality class.
