I was using it with Disruptor 1 ammo and chewing up Guardians. Power spam for everything else.

No you weren't. <_<


EDIT - To clarify, I love the GPR with a Geth Engineer. But it doesn't have any kind of penetration even with an AP mod. There is literally no way this is effective against Guardians. You have to equip something else like a Phalanx or Javelin to pierce the shield.

As others have already said, just point it at that little mail slot. No need to take time to scope. Didn't get kicked out ot my last Gold match with it (though I did take D3 and Rail amp for it), and used it to knock cloaked units out of cloak long enough for someone else to hit it with targeted powers. Power spam for everything else except the occasional crowd spray. I was in 3rd place, even before our 4th person dropped out. (Thank god, I think he was going to blow our extraction had he stayed.) I did try it against 2 Primes. Mainly because it baffled me a bit the first time. I was the only one hitting one during a Hack phase, and it depleted the thing fine. Power-> fire until CD->power, But just refused to do that last bit of damage to kill it with the rifle. Same happened on the second one. Like the Geth Rifle just decided it didn't want to take a Geth life.

Ye i do use both , but i do prefer Avenger X , i dont rly have to think with that wpn..just hold down the trigger and spam my powers haha , i'm lazy like that , but the Vindicator is amazing from cover i have to agree , i love both

Blanking on if I've used it recently against Guardians on Gold, but it GPR VII w/ AP chews through Guardians on Silver.

And sorry, I couldn't tell by browsing - is the OP rant about soldier types or casters as well?  I could see frustration on a Turian Sentinel running around with a GPR or Avenger, I suppose - but the GPR gives my AA high extremely fast recharge rate, and large enough clip size/ammo to make it a very reasonable single weapon - buff'd with AP and DMG and it does fine on Bronze/Silver - pop some mods on for Gold.

Did AOK last night on Gold.

If anyone wants to recommend a better weapon for AA which keeps clsoe to 200% recharge, I'd like to hear it.

I love my M-75 and Claymore on my Krogan soldier.

Geth Engineer with GPR X is pretty much my 2nd favorite class after (Black) Widow Salarian Infiltrator. I have rarely, if ever, been beaten in score with the GPR, granting that the insanely good Turret and Overload provide a lot of support as well and that score is not necessarily a qualification of skill. I use Barrel + AP and frequently use AR Rail + an ammo power just because I have so many lying around.

I more or less only play public matches, primarily Silver with a handful of non-FBWGG-Gold games. I frequently earn points near or greater than the rest of the team combined (which, again, doesn't mean much). When the rare competent player(s) come along, the gap is usually still about 10k points. I've even done so with Human Adept on Geth. I haul ass to objectives. I can count the number of truly competent players I've met on both hands.

The GPR is not a great gun. However Geth Engineer, in my opinion, has enough tools going for it that it can afford to use it and not suffer. If I had a Vailiant I'd love to use that instead, but I'm tired of using the Carnifex on everything (in fact, I have it as a secondary on my GE and still maintain 160% CD). As for other classes? Meh.

And AP mod does let it shoot through Guardian shields, at least around the mail slot region where you should be aiming anyways.

If you're playing a caster class, and the GPR still gives you 200% cooldown, then what difference does it make? They're still going to be spamming powers the vast majority of the time.

Also, what's w/ the avenger hate?

 When I see it, it's automatic Kick.  STOP USING SUCH A TERRIBLE WEAPON

It's useful on some classes (i.e. salarian engineer) for ammo powers or breaking stealth on hunters. It's also not awful for breaking down shields.

It is pretty terrible at killing things, but some classes don't use their weapon as their primary way to kill things. It's really light weight, so why not?

[GodlessPaladin]

Stop saying it's good at applying ammo powers if you don't know how ammo power application works!

I use it on my GE because I'm only shooting to fill time between power CDs. And because I don't have the GPS or the Javelin.

Yes.

Shooting is for cooldowns inbetween power attacks, in the classes I play (Krogans & Infiltrators excluded).

If there is a better 200% coldown weapon, I would love to hear it...

[Disciple888]

@Ashen Earth - Wait, so now you're saying only a Geth Infiltrator can use a GPR effectively?  lol.  Okay.  GT is in my sig.  You take your GI with a GPR, and I'll take my GI with a GPS, and we'll see who does better, shall we?

@noobs - Never said GPR wasn't good for Silver/Bronze.  But it's terrible on Gold.  Has no stopping power.  Can't stunlock.  It can apply ammo powers?  So can every other gun.  One headshot from the Carnifex applies ammo power + does x1000 more damage.  Learn to aim.

Incidentally, there's a guy on my friends list who only farms FBW:G (I know <_<) and SWEARS the GPR is great on a Geth Engineer.  He puts a Rail Amp III and a AP Ammo III on it.  I took him into a Random/Random match yesterday, and guess what?  He died 20 times on Condor, and everyone wiped trying to revive him.  He did fine on Wave 1 and 2, but once elites started showing up, it was a wrap.

If he died 20 times and the rest of the team wasn't, it was more problems than just the gun. IE, complete lack of teamwork.

And that's the problem. Exactly what makes you believe everyone wielding a GPR X is amazing? There is absolutely no guarantee that this random Joe in a public Gold lobby would be dancing around his opponent with a GPR X.
We don't care that you can tear Gold up with a GPR X. That's fine.
What we care about is the fact that a random slob that shows up with a GPR X without understanding how to use it that causes problems on Gold.

This has more to do with player skill (or lack thereof) than the weapon being underpowered. Personally, I find it hilariously easy to score consistent headshots with the GPR X, from almost any range, because it has near pinpoint accuracy.

And that is the problem with public Gold lobbies. The quality is terrible!

Last thing we need is for them to be even more terrible by lugging a GPR X and taking 4 magazines to kill a bloody Centurion.

right...

way i look at it, when you're talking about bad players... it doesn't matter if you give them an automatic rocket launcher with unlimited ammo...

they're still going to suck and you'll probably end up wiping on the first objective wave.

the weapon they're using doesn't matter, its the player skill.  and you can't really judge player skill based off of weapon (unless you see them rocking two massively heavy weapons as a power class or something... but thats a bit different).

Lol, Yes the GPR does little damage (without a barrel or
ap) it’s a machine gun. It is supposed to do little damage because it does 10
shots by the time you shoot once with a pistol (this equals more than your one shot).

Pro tip, if you shoot them in the head you do more damage, epically
if you have +20% headshot damage and are using a machine gun instead of a pistol.

Just thought you might want to know because you seem to not
know how to play the game LOLZ :3
