I don't like this on-going trend about necro shotgun threads...

[koschwarz74]

i started to use it (lvl VII) on the cabal. she has great passives, both the weapon damage and the usual turian stability bonuses make the weapon extremely good.

i don't use poison strike at all, and putting the heaviest mods (omni blade+heavy barrel) on the weapon doesn't bother the biotic focus CD, considering the duration of the power.

(at least the way i use BF rank 6B - for me the biotic shield is a great disappointment, i DO think heightened focus is better for surviving than the shield - it's better not getting to the shield gate than recharging some shield when you are gated anyway - it won't save you on gold and above).

I've met 2 PUGs on Platinum with high level Crusaders. I couldn't outscore them in 3 matches with few of my favorite classes. Can't snipe with my Wraith like they do with Crusaders.

Vanilla Human Solider - 4 shots > AR > 4 shots

[Urdnot Vexed]

With my krogan sentinel I use the crusader alongside the black widow, and treat it as my mid range weapon. With the fembot infiltrator I use it as my only weapon.

Pros: good range and accuracy (great against guardians), decent damage.
Cons: heavy (doesn't matter with grenadier classes), costly if missed.

Personally though, I like to be able to kill stuff from the other side of the map, so I hate shotguns that are ineffective when you are more than 10 feet from your target.

[K_O_513]

It's nice. Very accurate, fast reload time and packs a nice punch. You just have to get used to the delay on it and if your aim is as bad as mine, use a stagger power to line up easy shots. I like using it on the Turian Sentinel. Overload not only staggers but it strips shields which helps with the Crusader since it's hindered by shieldgate.

But as with a lot of things in this game, don't use it off-host.

This thing is god among shotguns. Nuff said.

I don't know why people hate the Crusader!!

When I play Vanguards I love having 4 shots after coming out of Bionic Charge. Sure, the Pirahna has 5 shots, but it is only powerful at short range (see my example below).

Also, the Crusader comes out of the box as armor piercing. So, I can shoot through walls without having a mod.

Example 1: when you are doing the Upload Mission when you are forced to stay in the circle. With the Crusader I can easily pick off far-off enemies and get head shots. With the Pirahana I have to fire off several clips to kill something at long range and the shotgun choke is a necessity.

Example 2: on any of the large Firebases like Dagger, you can start the wave by sniping some of the annoying monsters (like Phantoms). Then you can Biotic Charge and go in for the kill.

Crusader X works wonders on my infiltrators/weapons platforms. Then again, what doesn't?

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....

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.

I understand the dilemma specialy on host even with the GE and GI i still need 4 bullets to kill them if im lucky and a phantom puts up her bubble and facing her head directly towards me i can kill her with 2 headshots, that is if she doesnt start to dance after the initial headshot...Phantoms on host have some crazy DR while off host this isnt the issue anymore kind of being "punished" for being a host...

Maybe you should try it on infiltrators like the Edi clone or GI with proxi then the gun can swiftly take care of phantoms if your aim is fair.

[cdzander]

Go to gun on my Jugger. With EB or HVB and an omni-blade. Can deal death from any distance.

[MAELXTROM]

As long as this is necroed, I enjoy the Crusader on the Destroyer for an extra shot, plus panic button multifrags for surprise phantom/dragoon packs.

Or I could just use a gun that doesn't suck.Claymore, Wraith, lolreegar, Raider, Piranha, and GPS are all far superior.

Posting to an old thread and bringing it back to the top of the forums--raising it from the dead, if you will...like a NECROmancer

It doesnt suck you just need to play more often with it and chose the right character to go with it. It absolutley wrecks bosses, kills phantoms with ease (as long as you can force their buble up with example proxi) Long range go for body shots, medium to close go for headshots. There where other who said it sucks including me! But i kept searching for its hidden treasure this is not a "scrub/noob/" friendly weapon "it states only used by highly trained soldiers..." I liked it at first then i disliked it due to the delay then after that i was hooked to it it took me awhile to "master" it but now its my favourite shotgun together with the Wraith. Its very satisfying to score those headshots. Once mastered its absolutley a beast in the right hands.

This weapon is garbage for those scrubs and noobs or impatient people.
Dont be one of them....its far better then the claymore people say its good at long range which it is not, crusader at long, medium, close is same damage. This gun is a headshot festival. Then again to each his/her own chosing if you dont like it so be it.

[TheKillerAngel]

It has innate piercing and is highly accurate, which means you don't have to use a smart choke on it. It's a very good weapon for a Melee AIU because you can go omniblade/barrel on it without sacrificing any of its effectiveness.

Any gun is a headshot festival. I'll take an Incisor over the Crusader any day of the week. Because honestly I have zero fun using the Crusader. The fire delay is pointless and for how heavy it is I could take a PPR and a Talon.

The game I used it in I had 20 headshots by wave 4. I would've rather taken just about any other gun in the game because of how unintuitive it is. The Javelin fire delay makes sense and is measurable, the Crusader's is arbitrary and unnecessary.

crusader top play video - can't get much better than this

[OniGanon]

So... anyone else overcome with feelings of inadequacy about 40s into that video?

[BronzTrooper]

I love using the Crusader on my QFI (only character I use it on actually). I've had my Crusader on my QFI since it was at rank 3 and I have it at rank 10 now. I use my QFI on platinum regularly and I love it!! It destroys Brutes and Ravagers in platinum no problem. Awesome!!

[snootz]

This gun would be awesome on the Asari Huntress no? I tried it once on AIU.. and i did like i...

But i prefer more devestating weapons like reegar.. claymore on AIU..

Huntress however.. i am more hit and run with warp/DC and a sniping high damage gun could be great

Holy shiznet, a double necro.
