Mattock is better in my opinion. The Sabers Fire rate is just to slow for my liking.

[Augustine]

Objectively, yes. Aesthetically, I still love M-99 Saber.

My maddock VI tears s**t up!

[xtorma]

Well i love the sabre, but i can't really argue your point, as i don't know the maths

[Zikel]

Saber isn't that great, it just has perfect synergy with human solider.
Instant reload helps with the very long reload time, you can keep firing it for 10+ seconds.
And it is great for headshots, on gold spamming headshots on a prime with this thing kill it faster then doing the same thing with a widow on an infiltrator

[silentlaze]

If you can get repeated headshots then the Saber is better.

[Notorious McG]

Stats aside; the noise that the Saber makes when you fire it, makes it worthwhile in itself.

[Thiak]

with the weight i wouldnt know which class i would actually use the sabre with
saber 1 at 2.0 weight vs a mattock 10 with 0.9

[vGriMz]

Got the Mattock X. But I'm trying to get the Saber. I want it for what it looks like and the sound.

I use the Saber with my Krogan classes. Otherwise I usually run with the my Mattock X on my other classes

[Fyurian2]

Mattock might fire faster but doesn't hit as hard, which matters more on Soldiers, who are really the only ones that Saber benefits more than Mattock.
The extra weight and much lower ammo is a good trade off for the Saber. Especially when you're not wasting as many shots killing something.

Even at Mk1, I'm taking Saber over Mk8 Mattock on a Human Soldier, every time.

[Deebo305]

They are both equally good, if Weight is not an issue I roll with tyhe Saber but if it is I roll with the Mattack everything else is meaningless....aside from the Phaestons and Revenant I give my turians

Agreed, it might seem kinda dumb to carry a gun for 'role playing coolness' in the multiplayer portion of the game, but I do it anyways.

It just has an awesome beefy sound to it, plus a great description.

[Sargaz]

i have saber 3 and it feels more like a sniper than a riffle, and the aim with no scope is terrible...

honestly the carnifex is just as good and has significantly less weight and way more accurate!

[TwelvGaugeApostl]

That sound is taunting to both team-mates and enemies, you gotz to love it!

[Nocure]

I have Mattock X and Saber I

I was using the Saber on my human soldier (silver) and my opinion is thus:

To get the most out of the Saber you must fire it from cover. I put stability V and penetration III mods on it. When you aim from cover, the little cross-hair thingy is as close together as it can possibly be, and you can pop heads of all low end mobs in one hit, when all head-shot perks are active.

Not sure if the Saber has a passive head shot damage bonus, but it certainly feels that way sometimes

You do have to control your fire though, waiting for the cross-hairs to close down before firing again, unless it's a brute/atlas/prime, or your target is very close. You will likely miss otherwise.

When these conditions are met, the Saber will absolutely destroy everything infront of it. No exceptions. Unfortunatley, by the time you found where the baddies are, run over there, found some cover to fire from, and lined up a shot. Most of the wave will have been sniped/bio/tech exploded. But if you have a team that sets up a defensive position and waits for mobs to come to them, you are quids in! (Not likely with randoms on Bronze/Silver)

The Mattock X is much lighter, not a huge amount less, damage and more accurate when on the move (Using damage mod II and penetration mod III) so overall, your chance of engaging the enemy is much greater. So from a pure damage output point of view, the Mattock X is probably the better choice.

As others have said though, no other gun in the game makes you feel like such a boss when you fire it. That *TAKA-CHANG* is what usually makes me opt for the Saber over the Mattock

[deadbeatriot]

the mattock is more efficient for me.

that being said, i use the saber.

that sound is so damn cool.

[ForTuchanka]

I use the sabre on my Turian sentinel but overall think the Mattock is the better weapon. Sadly, the carnifex can do almost anything the sabre can do at 1/3 the weight at the cost of only 2 rounds in the clip... and the pistol doesn't kick so can be used out of cover. The sabre definitely needs a buff to compete with the heavy pistols.

[SeanThen1]

I find it hard to compare the two weapons. Saber is slow to fire and even slower to reload. The mattock can fire as fast as you can click your mouse and reloads at a good clip (a bit slow, but not terrible).

Each weapon suits specific playstyles.

[niko20]

Actually i like mattocks sound too though.

[Thiak]

yep, the carnifex at X is slightly below the saber I in damage, it is more accurate, has a slightly higher rate of fire, same clip size (X compared with I), way less recoil, reloads much faster
for me its Carnifex > Mattock > Saber

[Kavadas]

Mattock is about a billion times more flexible due to it's quick RoF. When you're under pressure and scrambling the Saber becomes a paper weight very quickly.

Plus my Mattock X is modded to do 150.4 max damage and has a 20 round magazine.

My Mattock V feels like doing no damage at all but Saber III is very slow so close combat can be dangerous but still I prefer a nonscoped saber with Damage and recoil attachment and it does its work very well.

And Saber does an awesome sound!

[squidney2k1]

I love the Saber but it's just so damn heavy. I can't imagine using it on anything but a Human Soldier.

It might work well for a low-level Sentinel who needs high damage output, but the weight of that gun makes it very easy to skip. Might as well take the Black Widow.

[wilzoon]

I choose Saber over Mattock X, simply because its Saber IV
