Widow infiltrator is crazily overpowered. I have Widow II and maxed cloak, and can basically dominate the entire map on Bronze. Silver is much less of a challenge, too. One-shotting Guardians THROUGH their shields never gets old. Oh yeah, and the cloaked headshot to nearly kill a Phantom is beautiful.

Edit:  In other words, no I can't join the club, but I can say that I hope you all get one eventually.  You'll destroy all the things.

I'm sure shooting through thin cover never gets old either

I've got the widow, but none of the other special weapons. And the game seems to have totally given up on giving me any new weapons or mods now

My veteran packs aren't even giving me silvers anymore its all just blues, I thought the silvers were the "uncommon" items that the veteran pack promises at least one of.

The main reason I want the widow is so I can see how much power recharge increase it gives me at level 10, and if there's anything I need to adjust in how I evolve my powers for when the game comes out. Like cloak recharge time to widow reload time.

I know that feel,bro...

I've unlocked every class/race combo. Some are up to Lights/Skin tone being the last thing that needs to be unlocked. In fact, I've unlocked everything except for one gold item.

Widow is at rank III
Revenant, rank III
rocking the Claymore I on my Krogan
Locust and Hornet are chillin' together.

...still no Carnifex

I have the widow IV and I think they need to buff the weapon given how much of a trade off it is in place of much faster cooldowns. It should be able to penetrate through pilons, vehicles and thick barricades atleast (though not through walls) OR it needs a large damage buff, say in the order of 40%-60% to account for the double frequency of cloak and other abilities one is able to use with the mantis. The mantis drawbacks are: its not that effective against enemies in cover or against guardians, but it can still clear enemies with body shots, the difference in damage is minimal.

You want a damage buff? You understand that, on Bronze, you can 3 or 4 shot an Atlas with a Widow III, right?

Still missing revenant, claymore, and locust. Only character I'm missing is Drell Van. But have a widow 3 and carnifax 3 which compliments my infiltrator and adept. only other gold weapon is a Hornet 2.

Salarian Infil w/ widow 3 to down guardians and to do more damage to atlas.
Turian Sent w/ widow 3 for the same reasons above
Asari Adept w/ carnifax 3 for easy stasis headshots
Quarian Engineer w/ carnifax 3 for easy frozen headshots

I really don't need other weapons. Hope I get the same luck when the full game comes out but I doubt it. There will be more mods, weapons, and species and it would take stupid luck to get the right equipment and species right off the bat. 

[ncknck]

have to leave the club, just got one. it sure took long to get.

I don't think it needs a damage buff considering its main perk is the ability to shoot through cover and guardian riot shields.

Also since you have been blessed enough to get it 4 times any idea how much the weight is reduced per rank?

[GracefulChicken]

I'm part of the club. I'm N7 level 68ish now I think, and no Widow. Shame because I just unlocked what I wanted to play all along: Salarian Infiltrator. I got it last night, but I refuse to play it before I have the Widow. I want it to b.e perfect out of the box (it's already level 20). I will keep waiting...my glory will come.

[eldrjth]

prob around 4% per rank. so a level 10 will reduce its weight from a level I by 40%.

I could be off, but I think I was at -9% weight with full perks now down to +7% at rank 4.

All I have are 2 of each weapon.
Pistol: Predator, Phalanx, Hand Cannon (the only three-option class I have)
Shotty: Katana and Schmitar
SMG: Shuriken and Tempest
Sniper: Mantis and Viper
AR: Avenger and Mattock

I have several classes unlocked, but I haven't unlocked ANY in about 4-5 days and ONLY want an Asari Vanguard or Krogan Soldier.

This thread is magic, just unlocked it...

Who else is part of it? I sure am.  I have 7 weapons at rank 10 the rest are above 6 unless they are golds, and I have every weapon mod at 5.

I don't really dislike the way the weapons are unlocked but I really wish the odds would even out. I have had 9 gold weapon unlocks and who knows how many asari adepts, turian sentials, and krogan soldiers.

This is what drives me crazy about this random unlock system.  I have been playing massive amounts and never once gotten a Krogan, which is all I wanted in the first place.  I've tried getting him for so long at this point it literally feels impossible.  Yet I read how easy other people have gotten it, and how impossible it seems to be for others to get things like the Widow, which I got a while ago.  So lame.  I love the widow but would trade it for a krogan.

I have one too but I still use a mantis X over it simply because of cooldowns. Besides, a mantis X, with a few easy attainable mods/ammo powers etc, on bronze and silver (not sure about gold - haven't played it yet), can one shot (body shots) most unprotected enemies so the widow seems kind of redundant at the moment for me. Maybe on a gold game with a few gun upgrades (to bring the weight down) will make it very useful on gold but at the moment it's not at all needed.

Cloaked widow one shots centurions, nemeses, and phantoms in the head. I doubt the Mantis can do that very highly. If you kill and reload the weapon cooldown is also greatly sped up. Just saying. 

Edit: Also 4 shots Atlases on silver. 

I forgot to say in my original post that I was using cloak and energy drain. If you use those 2 powers (cloak then energy drain) and then shoot right after the defense is stripped you can one shot everything with bodyshots on bronze and silver, except for an atlas. That combination is also so seemless and by the time you've reloaded your next shot, your cooldown is finished.

Also, a Mantix X gets pretty close in terms of damage to a widow I. Look at the pics below:





So, like I said, the widow is still not necessary for me yet.

It may be similar in damage, but the Widow can shoot through Guardian shields and mutiple enemies. I've killed upto three enemies with one shot a few times.
I used to run the same set-up as you, but after using the Widow it's become my main gun.

[Some Random Display Name]

I was in that club till just a little while ago, actually. I've been using the claymore with my infiltrator but switched to the widow. I played a few games with it but I got too used to using the claymore and have switched back...

[Dethecus09]

Part of the club also, got everything else unlocked except the Widow, it keeps eluding me.

[jahaa]

One more for the club.
For some reason i know i wont get it but that keeps me even more excited for the final game tho.

I play in Gold with the Mantis but my Salarian is missing something.
And that was one of my favourite weapons of ME2.

If it makes you feel better I would glady trade with you.  But its not like I like my krogan soldier just rot, I went around heavy meleeing pretty much everything in bronze matches.

I'm just hoping in retail the tables turn and all of us unlucky enough not yet have it get it in our complimentary recruit pack. As for those that have it the demo, I hope it takes them forever in retail to get.

[xSolclaim]

My widow is the only gun i need on my Human infiltrator. Sure, i only have a 11% power recharge rate bonus. but the only power i use is cloak. And with cloak fully maxed damage spec, i still have enough cloak time to fully cap an objective. Furthermore 1 shoting phantoms, and taking off 5-7 bars of an atlas' hp bar with one cloaked shot, haven't used any other gun since i got it.

[chris2365]

My brother got the Widow on PS3. I've played for dozens of hours, and I'm level 20. He's a level 5-6 soldier, and he doesn't even use it! (Must... stop.... myself.... from raging against brother)
