 So I tried out the Falcon.  Seems to not do much damage.  Am I missing something?  Some trick to using it?  Does a direct shot do less than a ricochet, for example?

[nicethugbert]

It fires faster, has better range, more ammo, and has better accuracy than a shotgun. It's an assault rifle which is good for turians. It's the best weapon I have so far, better than stock.

There's a thread around here where the Falcon may shoot blanks.

OH I'm looking for it, the best gun I've seen so far is the Gelf Pulse Shotgun.
Are there any other guns that have charge blasts?

[Tommytsunami]

The Graal spike thrower shotgun can charge shots... at least I'm pretty sure it can. I had a friend playing the other night who was using it and said it is amazing when you charge the shots for it since it will one hit almost anything. I do think the geth shotgun is better though.

The Arc Pistol has a charge blast. But at lvl 1, it seemed pretty weak to me.

I picked up the Falcon last night and I've noticed several instance where it appears like the rifle is failing to do damage

I won't say anything more than that you are indeed missing something.

This was no help.  Why even post?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.  I played with it once and it was ok, but a little unwieldy at mid to long range.

Use Cryo ammo for fun amounts of CC. The falcon fires micro-grenades, giving it an AoE blast radius. Using it to convey added effects, like burning, freezing, etc is a great way to slow down a mob.

i love the falcon been using it all the time for my engineers. It shoots mini grenades so its got an explosive factor great supplement to mixing with biotics. like Cryoblast an enemy then one shot of the grenade will explode most of the lower troopers.

[STARSBarry]

yeah alot of times the rifle will fire blanks if you tap to quickly, you have to get into the rythem and its alot better, a note headshots still count and they are proximity charges so they exsplode from a pass rather than a direct hit, so you can shoot over cover, the side of a guardian and get hits, however no matter how carefull you are the gun can fire a full clip of blanks at random, I think its poor lag coding unfourtantely and nothing you can do till bioware hire someone who knows what there doing to sort it out

Play with it more than once.  Use ammo.  +Weapon damage.

Best weapon i've unlocked so far. Like a shotgun with range but less damage. The burst damage is the nice part about it, shooting things out of cover and staggering them.

[Spellbound83]

Really? I unlocked it, and it feels like it takes a clip to kill basic soldiers. Is my aim just off or something? I excelled in the beta with a Phalanx...unfortunately I haven't been able to unlock a new pistol.

The best way IMO to use the falcon at its fullest potential is equip it on a Krogan melee build (Soldier w/ Fort or Sentinel w/ tech armor) and use it as an opener for melee killstreaks

The stun you get from hitting the enemy will make them vulnerable as they will be standing in one place, making a heavy melee attack unavoidable for them. You can build up Rage and keep it up really long. The stun you get from the Falcon is the only weapon which offers this. Its a really fun build, try it

[Terminus Echoes]

I have the Falcon II but sometimes it misfires in crucial moments, so I discontinued its use.

[IPLASTIKMAN]

Doesn't do much damage on gold , honestly once u get to gold most guns seem week compared to saber level 10 and claymare 10 , idk u def have to change tactics and guns on gold

That sounds about right.

Do you have any "extended mag" mod?  I just equipped the level 4 mod to the Falcon and it has 10 shots per magazine.  Not many things that can survive a full salvo of 10 grenades.

I've tried it a couple of times and it seems a bit unstable in output and half the time the grenades bounce off an enemy and seem to explode out of range. But I've seen some people rip up games with it. I just haven't figured out to use it properly yet I guess.

[Bon3zz1001]

Just curious, is this weapon completely broken off host or something? I noticed that when I try using it it will randomly stop shooting grenades. They're not turning invisible either because they just stop hitting enemies. No damage, no stagger but my ammo counter keeps on dropping. It works perfectly fine if I'm the host of the game.

It's a rifle with detonatting rounds on proximity of target. Meaning you can use it to provoke targets out of cover. The only good use I've seen for it is to abuse it in smaller maps, like Glacier. 

Other then that it's useful for trashing the first 3 waves on Bronze?

Yes, It's definitively a latency issue. The netcode for this game is so bad overall, and this weapon is a shinning example of it. If you were to be the actual host, you would NEVER have this problem. The only fix I found was to delay my shots more.

Join a game however, you have to be careful. It's like the Krogan melee lock-on that is completely broken only when joining games.

yep. Frequently shoots blank. Makes the weapon practically useless.

Unfortunately i've managed to get TWO of them out of packs to collect dust in my inventory.

you know, I was running into siuation where it seemes to be shooting blanks, but was definately still donig damage. Like nothing would come out of the gun, but the trooper i was aiming at would still fly up in the air and "Blissey1 [Falcon] Assualt Trooper" would still come up on the log.

I hate that gun....the fact that I have to walk around holding my fire button sucks.

Not to mention that I have to poke my head out of cover and stay there whenever I want to charge it up and fire.
