 Has anyone besides myself realized how good this weapon is at taking out big enemies like the Atlas, brutes, and geth primes?

I use it on silver with a GI (spec'd for geth weapon damage) and a Smg amp gear bonus III. Literally I can tear down an atlas on silver in seconds. I hit it with a prox mine spec'd to amp any damage dealt afterwards, and just blast it with the smg.

What unlikely weapons do you use to kill big ol'enemies? 

[TheEldrazi]

Yeah, on gold it wouldn't be that grand against anything armored.

Even on silver it's garbage...other guns are way more effective and dont take 800 bullets.

I suspect that nearly any weapon would give similar performance with those parameters.

Now try it on Gold vs a Brute, doing the minimum 5 damage per bullet, against it's 9000 points of armor.

I like the Geth SMG, but if you're using it on armor you're doing it wrong.

Even on Silver.

[Rolenka]

Not sure about the SMG on an atlas in silver, but using the Geth Assault Rifle against a Brute in bronze did no discernible damage at all. Emptied all of my ammo without even taking off a single bar of armor. Not a thermal clip. All of the ammo.

I maxed out weapon damage, debuffed with proxy, used appropriate lv3 amps and the atlas still shrugged it off. I had better results with the eagle. lol

Silver ... heh.

On Gold the armor damage penalty leaves the weapon practically useless against armor, least of all the big targets that have tons of it.

Not true, you just have to be prepared to us AP ammo on it, once you do that, it's fantastic.

OP, see the second link in my Sig for my HSold build dedicated to rocking the GPSMG.  I have, on Gold, individually taken out every boss unit.  And it usually does not take very long.  Well, except for Banshees.  I find that's the one unit my HSold really struggles with by himself.  

And yeah, I love the GPSMG.  It and the Hurricane are probably my favorite two weapons in the game.  But I do feel there are not enough effective fully auto weapons.

Well there's your problem.

What's wrong with playing on silver? Not everything is meant to dominate on gold.

You made me laugh out loud. Well played sirrah, well played.

The Geth SMG is useless on armor even with TWO full amps.

Gimmick weapon suited best for shield/health enemies. On Bronze.

Silver isn't even an issue. The issue is there are literally TENS of weapons better suited to this particular task.

It's much the same as falcon threads.

Yes, yes the falcon can stun things, and five hours later you finally finished a wave after all your compatriots have fallen asleep waiting for you to accomplish something.

in bronze, the AP mod/AP ammo is all you need to do damage to an armored enemy with something like the GPSMG or GPR. all the assault rifles i tool up with AP and extended barrels. incendiary ammo also will burn down armored enemies too. hope that helps.

I...errr....what?  The Falcon has consistently been shown to be one of the most useful weapons on Gold in the hands of a decent player.  Sure, it's not suited to a Solo run or boss killing, but as far as being one of the best support weapons in the game, there is no comparison.

it's not suited to ANYTHING but sucking up all your amps to kinda kill some stuff after they decide to suicide themselves from boredom.

It is the literal definition of gimmick gun. While it didn't start that way, that's what it is now.

Dunno...I've used the geth smg witha geth infiltrator on FBWGG plenty and it melted the **** out of primes...just saying.

Anything is good against atlas if you hide behind cover whilst shooting.

[capn233]

Had a match on Reactor Gold vs Cerberus. Was playing Cowboy Soldier with six shooter and took the Geth SMG just for the hell of it. Had to finish one wave and decided to go infinite GethSMG vs the Atlas.

It is absolutely pitiful against big targets on Gold. I managed to get the Atlas in the reactor room so it couldn't turn around and basically unloaded all my clips, then went to the ammo crate and damn near did it again.

I recall right after it was released someone claimed he would kill Atlases in seconds on Gold, which I knew to be untrue from doing it myself. Although Atlas killing did used to be faster if you could get penetration and damage them twice.

In any event, most unlikely weapon is the Predator. Space Glock 17 + Adrenaline Rush = same day killing of Brute or Banshe

I was told the shredder mod doesn't worth with the Geth Plasma Shotgun, so I assumed the piercing mod didn't work with the Geth Pulse Rifle, either.

There's no piercing mod for SMGs.

There are armor piercing ammo consumables, but I don't think having them be required makes for good weapon balance. But I know you were talking about strategy, and I thank you. Do you know for certain that the AP mod works on the GPR?

Shot speed should be 50% between where it USED to be...and where it is NOW

That would be just right IMO...

Yesterday I unlocked the Geth Soldier Trooper and upgraded it for max damage with weapons. Then, on Silver, using my Geth SMG II with Armor-Piercing Rounds III I destoyed many Atlases and other armored enemies in seconds. There's no thing such as a useless weapon. It depends on your playstyle, your gear and your character. I find myself really comfortable with that weapon
