Actually with marksman (and the two thermal clip mods) the locust turns into a mini-AR. You can nail headshots because there is no climb to speak of, and the RoF is epic too. Obviously not too great against armored targets, but you should wipe the floor with anything else. Take that nay-sayers. Oh yeah and I don't have the Eagle, so I have no idea about how bad it was or good it might be now... Posts dissing the locust bothered me, sorry.

Also true. However, for that, we consider burst DPS (i.e. the damage while your clip lasts), where we see
that the damage is nearly identical as well. Furthermore, in terms of making every shot count, the Eagle is less accurate than the Predator, which means that even if the raw DPS numbers are the same, the Predator is likely to be the superior weapon!

I'm not saying that the Eagle is the worst weapon in the game. The Locust is a ready example of aweapon which is easily more gimped. The Eagle is not, however, a particularly good weapon, being less impressive than the starting pistol(which is actually a pretty good weapon, all things considered).

Mhm...well, then NERF the Predator! *duck & cover*

so what's worse geth pulse rifle or the eagle?

^^Troll^^
They were both already good weapons. You just don;t know how to use them. But i'll gladly take a buff!! 

Cause pointing and shooting at the head is a hard concept.

Locust:
Sustained DPS: 297.03
Burst DPS: 392.33

Avenger:
Sustained DPS: 328.64
Burst DPS: 401.67

Avenger is more accurate and deals higher per-bullet damage. Also, can use AP mod to actually deal damage against armored opponents while the Locust deals 5 damage per shot (which is 34.7 sustained and 45.83 burst DPS). I know you mentioned it, but the numbers are really fun to look at.

To be really, really unfair, let's compare to a Hurricane X:

Sustained DPS: 931.64
Burst DPS: 1281

Bump.

Post this here too

if recoil is not nerffed down the Eagle is still chicken. Whatever the status are if you canot hit it still is nill - zero. And recoil buffs are very short and rare consumambles.

Well - have to test eagel if it still is chicken.

Edit: Tested. Horrible recoil is still there. Eagle is still chicken - failed gun. Without recoilbuff it is pretty much useless. Not every map has decent covers. Out of cover shoots s......s!

The buff makes me less depressed that I do have an eagle but not sure if I will use it much if at all.

This has never been more apt!

Thats a promotional N7 Weapon. At upgrade mk.10. Getting it in 20 weeks (which is the fastest possbile) theres a 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% of 20% chance, or

0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2*0,2 = 0,2^10 =

0,0000001024% chance. That would be equal to winning the lottery.

Or the more likely outcome, that it would take 100 weeks or close to 2 years of doing every weekend event. In conclusion, it isn't really fair to compare any weapon to this. At least not any farmable weapon (including the ultra rares).

Yeahhh.... no.

The Eagle won't be useful until it hits something like 800 DPS.

Until then, the Phalanx will beat it all day everyday.

Yes.  It will do less damage than your normal AR.  Hence the "Mini-AR"  title that I gave it.  You could carry this gun and a pistol too and still come out ahead.  Anyways you have to consider missed shots when aiming for the head, which is an issue with guns like the avenger.  The locust already has minimal spread and with said power active it becomes a laser beam, kind of like the GPR but with a really fast reload.
