keep using 1 weapon soldiers, and look like retards firing off conc shots like a machine gun.

I know everyone has their own play style but I don't understand why someone would use a sniper and an assault rifle on Adepts or Engineers. The powers are more important on those classes. Why hinder your cool downs?

[Kilshrek]

A single weapon strategy really only seems to benefit highly specialised characters. I'm currently using an Asari adept with just an AR (tried SMG but it really wasn't good) and I'm spamming biotics like there's no tomorrow.

I use two weapons on my Krogan soldier (Widow, Revenant), two weapons on my Turian Sentinel (Revenant, Predator), two weapons on my Human Soldier (Claymore, Phalanx), and one weapon on my Asari Adept (Predator). All of these setups work fine for me on Silver.

I play with 5 weapons because you can never have enough guns. Stupid liberal commie human alien lovers trying to take our guns.

I use a pistol and SMG with a sentinel and I **** throw's out the ass.

As long as my cooldown bar is positive i have no problem

With some classes, like my engineer one weapon is fine. With my vanguard two is best, one for distance and the other when things get up close.

I have seen a lot of infiltrators running about with nothing but a sniper rifle. Those types are little help at all in group play. If we get into a serious firefight, all they've got to help support with is a slow loading, one shot rifle...and that to me is not a good thing.

Well, I always rely on both weapons, the phalanx + primary, except with the adept, where the hand cannon is the only thing I need.
As my favourite class, the soldier, either human or krogan, I must have the avenger(human) and claymore(krogan) alied to the pistol. believe or not, all the 4\\5 times I ended up gold was with one of those, with other classes never made up to wave 10.
As I read in a previous post, using a gun as soldier so that you can fire carnages or concussive shots like machine guns its ridiculs. this tools are amazingly efective on sturding oponents so that you can kill them with your main gun. Only in bronze level you'll win aninthing by firing concussive shots as a maniac.

The other reason why I must have a sidearm, Its because I don't stand a optical "aim" with the asssault rifle, It makes you lose all the movements of enemies that ar a bit far from what your're aiming. in that way, having a phalanx with the optical improvement lets you kill quite easy the guardians when they get close. For the krogan, the answer is also quite loggical. The claymore takes way to much time to recharge, like 3 to 4 times the time you waste changing the gun. therefore, having the phalanx lets you get away from some hard situations where your krogan powers wouldn't stood a chance.

I must say however, that as a adept of the sniper rifle associated with adrenalyn burst, ME3 really destroyed my ME2 (insanity) main tactic, as the delay for adrenalynn burst with assault rifle and sniper is way to long, and the power itself as became much much worse.

As one of those sniper only infiltrators let me tell you we are far from useless. The combination of Cloak, Energy Drain, and quickscoping is very useful in close quarters. I'd say roughly half of my kills are from close range using only a Widow or Mantis VIII and I'm routinely the top scorer on my team. Add an Asari Adept and it just becomes routine even on Silver.

With Vanguard you can use the Phalanx or Carnifex for close and long range, while keeping the +200% Recharging Time. I see no need for 2 weapons at all.

Apparently you are one of those people, clueless as to what suppression fire is. A sniper rifle doesn't do it.

[Sr.Prize]

Do whatever feels right to you.

My adept uses the avenger.
My infiltrator and vanguard uses the katana and phalanx. You can still get super fast cool down with 2 weapons once leveled up. I might be "doing it wrong" but it works for me.

There is no absolute build to use, it depends on your playstyle, if you prefer 2 weapons go with it, I don't so I won't do It.

[winniethepuh]

Use the M-8 Avenger and the M98 Widow(I think. Anti-Material sniper) on my soldier. M-8 for random targets and M98 for Guardians(easier to shot through the hole), Atlas and Phantoms, aswell as holding out on Wave 11. Cooldown on Conc Shot is still low and mostly use the grenades anyway.

[sayersybrfc]

My guess is that some of the maps in the full game will be much larger or only have one ammo station which will in turn benefit the playstyle of using two weapons. If not, there is absolutely no reason to use two weapons other than personal preference.

[SovereignWillReturn]

I usually roll with a Turian Sentinel, Human Engineer, or Human Soldier. I go with a Mantis X (Upgraded so it can one shot on Silver) In order to thin out peeps.
And my Scimitar level IX, for up close and brutal, (Damage and accuracy mods also at level V.)

it works for me since I can't really use snipes at close range, so I'm covered from far off and up close.

[Blissey1]

I also find that a shotgun is redundant on a krogan due to how good the melee is.

But the shotgun has the bayonet mod that increases melee damage. That alone is enough reason to use one.

Apparently you are one of those people, clueless as to what suppression fire is. A sniper rifle doesn't do it.

 

You're expecting an infiltrator to lay down suppressive fire? I think you've got the wrong class...

Soldiers benefit from two weapons. As an infiltrator i only use my sniper rifle. Its great in close quarters, quick freeze, kill, cloak, run.

Not this human male soldier.

I only use the assault rifle.

Actually A viper sniper pretty much does. Though any infiltrator should be poppin off heads, sneak medic, sneak kill, sneak download, ect.

I'd say i've seen maybe one out of four doing something other than just sitting way back, taking shots every few seconds. Working on your kill score is not helping the group. That's on Bioware though. They should have given higher rewards for team tasks and little for personal scores.

There are no rewards for personal scores -- all XP and credits are pooled together and doled out evenly at the end of the match. The only thing you get by scoring more individual XP than someone else is having your name on top of theirs at the end -- it's totally cosmetic. Which is exactly how it should be, but unfortunately the game doesn't really tell you that anywhere so people still act like they need to grab all the kills before anyone else.

[Giantdeathrobot]

Depends. Caster classes, such as Engies, Adepts, Sentinels? Absolutely; a Phalanx, for example, is an incredibly versatile weapon; with a scope, it's useful at any range, it weights nothing, and kills more than enough, at least in Silver. Combat-focused classes? Not so sure. A backup pistol or SMG saves my skin several times as Infiltrator or Vanguard, and they don,t weight much. I do agree the presence of Heavy Melee kinda diminishes the need for close-range weapons, however. And Krogans don't even need weapons, really. Not when you have the ****-slap of doom.
