 Maybe I am missing something but I have played with it and it is OK.

I can kill faster with so many other weapons including the Saber.

So what is the big deal about the Harrier?

Didn't you make a similar thread like a week ago? It's the best full auto assault rifle. It's more versatile than the saber without losing too much punch against armored foes. If I'm up against a pack of hunters or a phantom I'd rather have the full auto than the oh shoot better not miss semi auto

Stability + EB = DESTRUCTION
I kill faster with it than both the Krysae and Reegar

Claymore kills faster and has less of an ammo problem.

I tried it with Quarian M Infiltrator and I like it even with only level 1.
Still prefer Krysae Sniper Rifle, because of the option to shoot without breaking the cloak & the SR bonuses. Maybe for other classes It will be fine for me :)

It does almost as much dps as a hurricane? It's dead accurate? Maybe something like that?

AP mod and full auto in CQC shreds swarms, burst fire for mid to long range is accurate and deadlier even with a stability mod that place more rounds on target.

Low ammo cap kills the joy quick...at level I I can only rock it on a Batman with ammo+damage specs.

exactly. you can kill faster with the saber. sounds like your a good shot. some of us aren't like me. i like the stability and automatic design of the harrier but it all comes down the opinion. i like it but some wont. i gather your on the other boat. its not worth understanding why people like it because we all have our own play styles. this just suits some of us. 

plain and simple

I had a lot of AR amps so I played it with the QMI. Throw a grenade at the spawn and sweep up anyone left standing with it. Performed well on bosses.

In my mind, the appeal lies in the sustained fire. Sustained fire weapons allow, imo, more effective use of suppression ammo, like cryo. While not as effective as merely blowing something away with a claymore, it is a way to get reasonably effective CC out of a weapon while still getting reasonable damage. I don't have it, so I haven't gotten a chance to use it, but I imagine it will fill a similar role for me as the Hurricane does, with the difference that I can slap an AP mod on it.

Missing a claymore shot is pretty unforgiving where as unloading full auto isn't. As for ammo you pick that up on the move. Harrier requires you to play like a commando.

Harrier is exactly what an assault rifle should be. High damage, accurate, and with inate armor penetration. This is how ARs are in real life and it's how they were in the ME universe until ME3 made them pea shooters.

You kill faster with a weapon that weighs twice as much? good job that's how it is supposed to work. and again the harrier is more flexible

What's the big deal? Well, I think it's one of the few (if not only) assault rifles in the game that is worth taking on anything other than a soldier. I like to use it on my vorcha classes because it kills things quickly while allowing me to retain my mobility, thus cancelling the ammo shortage.

Justicar's AR weight reduction and no need for headshots(like saber). Considering other automatic ARs, its a monster.

You gotta account for the fact that not everyone can use all weapons with the same effectiveness.

For example: I cannot snipe well in this game so telling me that I'd kill things faster with my Javelin than my Predator is moot. The Harrier is also pretty accurate and has a good ROF (although heavy).

I'm starting to think that Stardusk is the biggest troll on this forum, the harrier is a great weapon as 4 pages of people told you in the last thread you made about this same topic 5 days ago

every single weapon in the game becomes better when you can aim it anywhere with a mouse..

Stability isn't a problem for me with the harrier. Easily kills stuff like a pyro with consistent headshots with magazine and EB mods. I put it on my grenadier build classes so i roam around scrounging for ammo and nades as I clear the map.

People b**ch about the Krysae and Reegar, but the harrier is damn near broken with how I can mow down Atlases and Primes in two clips.

People like the Mattlock but they don't like the RSI that comes with it. Shame about the weight though.

I am surprised the OP isn't running around declaring the sky is falling about it. Hell knows he has about every other new addition the DLC bought.

Not on gold you can't.  Kind of tired of seeing people judge a weapon based on other difficulties.  I have it and you aren't downing boss enemies with 2 clips, sorry.

The Harrier isn't broken. Not enough ammo.

All of the new weapons have ammo issues, if you can even call them issues... ammo boxes are plentiful

The Kyrsae has no ammo issues at all, neither does the Reeger due to how fast it kills and how much you are moving around with it.  The Harrier burns through ammo on gold and loses a lot of its killing power.  It's the one out of the three with ammo issues.

I like the feel of the Harrier. It feels like an actual assault rifle. Please note that rifles are very accurate and hit very hard.
Much harder than pistols do (well, that's a real life thing, not a game balance thing.)

Either way, it fits well to my "cannot always get the damn reticle dead on the bugger's head in a split second" ways.
It fires nice tight 2-3 round bursts with a single pull. It is very accurate, and does nice damage.

Of course claymore kills faster and does not have as much of ammo problem. Yours is propably on level 10, that explains alot. You cant really compare a low level weapon with a high level weapon. Especially those two, since the harrier is an ultra-rare and the claymore is a rare.

Just wait and see when it gets to at least lvl IV-V.
