Okay, I've revised my view a little on this gun. I like the 4 shot clip size, fast rate of fire, and fast reload. I understand why it doesn't do more damage per shot. And built in distance pen is neat. It's maaaaaybe a little too heavy, not sure. Mostly just niche though. I like it overall.

[mrcanada]

It isn't that its awful, it's just far too heavy.  I mean, it's heavier than a Claymore.....

[templarphoenix]

Very interesting for being a shotgun, but too hard to upgrade.

[Cundu_Ertur]

I use it to hold down loose paperwork. Sometimes to prop open a door or window.

N7 Crusader is an awesome gun, its pretty much the black widow version in a shotgun

Con
- Heavy
- Can't shield-gate because its single slug

Pro
- 4 Shots so the Shield Gate issue is out the door
- The sound it makes is pretty cool
- If you play a Shotgun infiltrator the weight no longer becomes an issue, or a Krogan whatever.

IMO its a fun weapon to use I wish I had it on my PC and not the PS3. Between it and the Valiant they're my go to fav weapons for my Krogan Soldier and Infiltrator whatever.

Valiant and Paladin are better options if you've got them. I really haven't found a use for the Crusader that isn't already fulfilled by another weapon.

Point of the gun being is that it is pinpoint accurate without a scope and has a good damage with good fire rate and and built in AP. It is the only one of its kind, And its perfect for people who dont need to be glued to a scope to get headshots off. Also it allows you to be accurate, without losing the overall picture of the front like you do with a scope.
so tell me which weapon fullfills those

Valiant sure as hell doesnt, as its no where near pinpointa accurate out of zoom, and has no AP.

And paladin? has no AP built in either. and isnt as accurate as a crusader can be.

The gun is perfect for soldiers looking for a high powered rifle without zoom. or for any other people who know their way around the game and a lil CD increase doesnt hurt them

[Lagrad Gribble]

I like it well enough, I just wish I could find more of a reason to dust it off. It could REALLY stand to be reduced in weight, but I don't know if that'll ever happen.

[Dan plays mass effect 3]

I use this gun coupled with a batarian sentinel = overkill and ridiculous score

It's by far not the worst gun, but for an N7 I expect more. It's useless to me, single shot shotgun and it doesn't even do much damage.

0/10 out the airlock.

I had a lot of fun with it back when I was completing the shotgun challenge. It's just possible that I haven't used it since. Scoring headshot after headshot on host is pure sex. Missing guys at point blank due to lag, not so much.

[january42]

It's a great gun that gives you a shotgun omni-blade + good long range firepower.    Basicly, melee users who want to be able to shoot stuff far away also.   I do quite well with it on a juggernaut. (You can also do the heavy-melee headshot trick then also)

For that reason, I end up using it on almost all melee chars, except for ones that have some skill to close distance.

Ya got ballz son

[Aryck the One]

I don't bother with it. I have it at level VII or so, and it SUCKS, especially for an Ultra-Rare. It does less damage than the Claymore and is just as heavy, and the accuracy doesn't make up for it when then Claymore is just as good at range with the Smart Choke upgrade.

The crusader? I love the crusader. Yeah, there's the whole issue with shield gate, lack of scope, and weight, but outside of these issues the gun is quite nice. I like the lack of scope: the accuracy is perfect so if you can get the reticle on target you're good to go. Besides, you've got four shots to work with, decent fire rate, and a very fast reload which all come together nicely for some dps that is comparable to the wraith or claymore. And let's not forget the fact that this gun works well at all ranges. I think what people tend to forget is that the crusader is not quite hit-scan: there's a bit of delay that you have to compensate for (which I find diminishes on host...but that could just be overall lag issues). I'm very much a shotgun fan, and the crusader finds itself easily at the top of my shotgun list. It requires a bit of getting used to, but with the right skill level, it is quite effective.

The Crusader has it's own niche comparing it to other guns is wrong I love this gun . Works best with the melee characters because of the cooldown from it's weight . It is a charge in and retreat weapon . It does work in close quarters but that is where it get tricky . Oh I do use it on my Quarian female engineer keeps her close to the action or away if need be probably my best silver character . My best gold would be Batsol and platinum would be Krogan sentinel. ( suck at platinum choose the durability ) The best feature is the cover penetration and playing peek a boom with enemies . This is also a weapon that should be tried on bronze to get use to its quirks as some call it only because bronze is a little more forgiving if you make mistakes . Don't lead enemies with this gun this is where some are having problems . Think of it like this RED IT;S DEAD 9 out of 10 times it holds true . The sight marker is really your friend with this gun you draw up on an enemy and even if it is moving when that mark turns red pull the trigger . This gun is a no middle ground gun you either love or hate it .

Excellent weapon its one of my favourite weapons together with the Wraith, Javelin, GPR, Spitfire, Scorpion, Harrier, i use it only on my Geth engineer and GI, Both of them are perfect for headshots due to the staggering effect of overload and proximity mine and strips them from their shields and barriers or increase damage by 20% for 8 seconds.

For LONG range i go for body shots or prioritise boss units from afar.

Medium range overload or proxi to stagger and go for the headshots.

Close range same as medium range or when i have no power usage due to the cooldown i go for bodyshots but still try to headshot.

I played ALLOT with this gun to be "adjusted" to it and love it, off host it can kill phantoms with one headshot and a bodyshot. But its better suited when you are the host or if off host then it needs to be from some one who has a good connection for example a friend. Pugging off host is often times tricky due to the lag and even blank shots...

It really starts to shine if you use a characters which can stagger its enemies specially if youre new to the weapon. After a while you can headshot enemies without these aiding tools. Bosses die quickly what else is to be said then a darn fine weapon.

Lol necro.

OT: I used it today in a gold PuG because I finally maxed the PoS out. I wanted to commit sudoku after that match. Phantoms suck when you have no acolyte and can't proc their stupid bubble.

It can penetrate their bubble with one headshot and a bodyshot IF your off host and using a proxi mine but then again im using this weapon only with the GE and GI the GI has damage bonuses when cloacked and further HM damage. I never used it on non Geth characters so maybe this means more shots needed even more then four to kill them phantoms....

Hi!

I have only been using the Crusader over the past few months. It has become my weapon of choice and i became an expert at aiming with it and doing headshots at any range.

I understand some people find the Crusader too heavy or too difficult at aiming with. But! Once you get some practice, the aiming is not a problem anymore.

Why do i LOVE the Crusader?

1 ) You can hit anything at full power at any range. No need for a scope at long range and you can still hit stuff at full power at point blank range. 

2) Fast reloading even if you do not use reload cancel. More shots than the Raider or the Wraith before reload.

3) You CAN install a Omniblade without losing anything. You do NOT need a Smart Choke.

4) Innate piercing and you can stack the dual mod Damage/Piercing over all that.

So, if you are good at aiming but also like to hit hard in melee, the Crusader is great.

PS: I play Silver and Gold, no Platinum. I can vouch for the Crusader in Gold match, it gets the job done and you do not need to be an infiltrator and a cloak bonus to hit hard with it. Just go for the head, always the head.

My favorite characters for the Crusader : Juggernaut , Batarian Soldier, Krogan Sentinel, Sexbot, Destroyer and Demolitionist.

On host. I was using a Hsol without concussive shot and frags weren't proccing the bubble. 8 shots to the face later and the stupid thing was still walking around with like 50% barriers left.

[LuckyBullet95]

Usually take Stabilisation Module III and aim for the head /w Incendiary Ammo. It does do enough damage to one shot headshot /w Phasic so...

[Chardonney]

Crusader is my favorite shotgun. It is absolutely amazing and once I put on my Destroyer, things get, well... destroyed... on gold. Great piece of weaponry.

[SandeProElite]

It has four shots and a fast reload time. It's not the best gun out there, but it can be very effective if used correctly.
