 Too me it is the worst Assault Rifle ever.

[EDarkness]

This is my weapon of choice so far. I hate sniper rifles because it takes me too long to aim them, but with this gun I don't have to worry about it. The damage is good and it does great damage on most things. It would be cool to get level 2, but the level 1 seems good enough. After reading this thread, I'm gonna try the Carnifex since I have it at level 4 to compare, but the overall feel of the M-99 Saber is good. The sound of it is awesome, too.

It's pretty decent, usable on gold. Doesn't need a scope. Heavy though. It's on a similar level with the Paladin and Crusader in terms of damage.

Hurricane is greater than all weapons on a power class.

My not so informed and humble opinion.

The Saber sound is OP

[Pypek_360]

It's the perfect weapon for a human soldier. Thanks to adrenaline rush you'll never have to reload and you get increased damage. I only have it at level one and it ripped through brutes and banshees on gold.

Saber + GE w/ Hunter mode specced for ROF and accuracy = epic win

Pretty much this.

But it takes damn good hand-eye to be good with it.
Recoil is a non-issue, I've used it for so long that my mouse hand moves the necessary way to compensate for the recoil following a shot without me having to think about it.

Just use Carnifax when you need to watch the cooldown, otherwise Saber for more firepower.

Its a good rifle for gold. Anyone who says different doesn't know what they're doing.

[JC_aka_fps_john]

Saber + Turian Soldier, with Marksman specced for RoF. Overcomes the main weakness of the Saber, turns it into a Mattock on steroids. Cooldowns are normally low enough to allow you to bring a second weapon, something like a Hurricane or a Talon

Or they said it months ago before the gun got a massive buff and before this thread was necro'd.

You are right. I do love play with the M99-Saber, especially with the Turian sentinel, for less recoil and more damage. At level ten is a pretty good weapon. With some gear on, you can kill most of the light targets with one headshot and a few others with two.

And another thing, the weapon is important, but far more important is what the player can do with that weapon.
For example: Yesterday, me and 3 friends make a U/U/G with nothing but the common weapons (Katana, Mantis, Avenger, etc.), and we make a full extraction using minimum consumables (just rockets for killstreaks at wave 11 – total score 475k+ XP - 74,9k credits - less then 22 minutes). Detail: No one playing with level 20.

Opinions of the saber are generally based on how consistently people can headshot with it. Those who can, love the gun. Those who can't, hate it.

It's got almost identical damage to the paladin, but it has an 8 shot clip versus 3 for the paladin. It's also got more spare ammo. The only downside is the weight, it's not a good option if you're playing a biotic or tech spam class.

Saber like all all the other AR's with the exception of Harrier suffers from the fact that in ME3, AR's are under powered for their weight.

Saber's characteristics makes it similar to sniper rifles without built-in scope. This might actually appeal to some people like me, who can't aim for **** with a scope. Unfortunately Paladin is roughly identical in everything except for clip size, all the while being lighter.

Nerf Paladin.

Some people hate it, some people love it. My favorite gun, imo best gun in the game. Just butchered 10-15 phantoms with it. You need to upgrade it a bit, at mark III you start to see its greatness.

That's probably why the gun gets so many derp responses of "durrr aim 4 dah head!"  I always wonder what those people are thinking.  Did they assume everyone else aims for the feet?  Wow, basic game mechanics in a response to a debate about an ultra-rare weapons.  What next, "click the left mouse button to fire"?

..  <sigh>  Sorry, they just really annoy me.

Hurricane is pretty unbalanced. Super light, highest DPS in the game and requires little aim. That is all I have to say.

I have to admit I have a really hard time making myself not aim for centre of mass (in any game). I rarely get above the 5 headshot medal.

Just because you aim for the head doesn't mean you can hit it. That was my point. People who are accurate don't have a problem with the saber; it's a weapon that requires you to hit headshots more often than not to be truly effective.

[hbogyt II]

It's a even better than the Harrier if you can pull off headshots consistently. No units that can be headshotted can stop you. You can probably take on 4-6 Assault Troopers at once and win, or 2 Phantoms.

[sclera]

If you think the saber is bad you have bad accuracy. It's a really good weapon if you can hit your targets.

My Saber VII gives me a 150% cooldown bonus on my Asari Justicar. Not bad at all.

[Nicla Karsavina]

I don't like it at all, it does the same damage as the Paladin, but it's slower, heavier, bigger and dumber. I don't see a reason to prefer it over the Paladin.

I'd say the Harrier is better if you want to clean trash mobs.

On topic, the Saber is pretty good. I use it on my Batarian Soldier, with EB+Extended Mag, and AP ammo, it rips through Reapers and is great against the other factions.
