Yes there are but i feel you can never have enough guns in a shooter. This one is kinda tricky some weapons do while others just leave me wondering "why would i ever use this?". I love the claymore a window nothing like blowing some troppers head off from 50ft or 5ft.

[mandalorian sun]

1. There is a good range of weaponry to choose from, however SMG's really do get the short end of the stick compared to pistols, just because of armor.

2. I think what's missing most from weapons is the incentive to take a heavy assault rifle or SMG. If you're going to pick a heavier weapon and not go for cooldown as much, there is no gun in either of those departments that makes me not grab a claymore, widow, carnifex or paladin. The SMG's cant deal with armor well and the revenant is like closing your eyes and firing.

3.Most of the time i play with phalanx or carnifex because no other weapons can get the DPS and cooldown of those guns. Claymore is definitely the most fun, so satisfying to use

[redneck nosferatu]

To answer the poll...

Yes, there are more than enough weapons.

Yes, but some are underpowered IMO, making them less ideal than the "gold-viable" group of weapons.

My favorite weapon would, believe it not, be the Viper since it got buffed. Very good, flexible sniper rifle, even at Rank VIII. And no, I don't use it on an Infiltrator.

[Siran]

Yes, there is quite a good range to choose from and make for a good arsenal that gives plenty of room to choose from. Of course, there can always be more: I for one would love a gravity gun like in Half Life, maybe a gun that has a similar effect like lash or pull. Or a gun that can have a - small - warp effect to set up biotic explosions. Although that might become OP really fast.

I think there are weapons for practically every niche, although once one unlocks more and more uncommon and especially rarer guns, the common and uncommons tend to get outshined. For instance the shotguns. I don't really see the use for a Katana or Scimitar once you have unlocked the Eviscerator, disciple (for casters / vanguards) or Graal / GPS / Claymore / wraith for everything else. Same with AR (Avenger which I really love, but only for its sound / feel, not its usefulness and Phaeston) and Pistols (Predator). Maybe this could be rectified with special (rare or ultra rare) mods, gear or "boosts" that only work on the basic weapons, so they become useful again. The SMGs would really benefit from the fixed ULM. I find myself only using the Geth SMG or the Hurricane (and that one only on a Turian / Quarian). With the fixed ULM there'd be plenty of more to choose from, although there's still room for an ultra-rare SMG (maybe one with said effects like warp or making a target take more damage from biotics for sake of weapon damage.

I think, some weapons are a bit "too broad" in their usage. Like the Carnifex - which I really like, but it's "so good" on casters, that there usually is no real alternative. It hits like a hammer and gives 200% CD once on a decent level. No need to bring something else. But maybe thats why it balances itself. I got bored of it lately and with the Scorpion and Talon Buff there are real alternatives for casters, so great change there! Same with Krysae - got bored after two days of using it, just no fun in using it when you don't have that feeling of accomplishment after landing a headshot on a Phantom.

Currently my favorite weapon is the Harrier, just for the sake of finally having a decent AR to play Rambo with. Other than that - Wraith (great weight / damage ratio, especially on the new Phoenix characters) and Scorpion (its full of... explosions!)

btw - thanks for these weekly questions, really appreciate you asking our opinions and actively listening to them!

1) Good range of weaponry for sure (though I still would love a futuristic double-barreled shotgun capable of firing twice really fast, then having a long reload)
2) The range is very dynamic, which is good except most of the better assault rifles still occupy the category of weak-sauce (Saber and Harrier outclass most others) which is why I don't see them as often as others in Gold matches. But yeah, every niche/level can be met.
3) Favorite weapons - Claymore, Saber (both very effective) but also the Locust

[Drawrof]

 Generally speaking I think every weapon type should have a starter, middle, and premium type. They also should include the all types of the class. So basically common are the starter and ultra rares are the premium. "Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
No!  Smgs' are lacking considerably. Aside from the hurricane, which I have not been fortunate to receive, there are no ultra-rare smgs. Compared to heavy pistols with 3 ultra rares.  I think both the shot gun and smg could use a few more high end additions.  Each weapon class should have minimum 2 ultra-rare versions.  Secondly, looking at the heavy pistols, snipers, and assault rifles you get very unique weapons to use. 

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and?"

Yes!  However, this doesn't suggest that there is a weapon from each class to fill every niche. There are shot guns, heavy pistols, and snipers that perform well in close, medium, and long range against all classes at gold level.  Whereas smg and AR are lacking. 

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" 

Paladin, scorpion, claymore, sabre, and geth plasma shot gun in no particular order.

Yes.

No. Most of the assualt rifles are unfavorable and so are a lot of snipers and smg's and shotguns are imo the most balanced weapon class, their use it almost totally up to prefrence.

Favorite weapon had to be either the harrier or the eviscorator.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

In theory, yes. In practice, no, since most weapons are uselees on gold (some even on silver).

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

Yes, but most niches are underrepresented. Almost all automatic rifles are useless, and the only rifle that shoots in bursts is complete trash.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

When i am hosting, the Kishock.When i am NOT hosting, the Claymore.

[Kaitus]

1 - I think the range of weaponry is good. We've got single shot sniper rifles, to full auto, grenade launching assault rifles, pistols that shoot explosive sticky eggs of doom or mini-lightning bolts.

2 - Pretty much what others have all said. SMGs and ARs feel pretty underwhelming. The full auto niche seems to be lacking. When weight isn't an issue, the Harrier is pretty good. For geth engineer, I like the geth plasma rifle. And the revenant seems to be made for Turians. But even with those specialized class/weapon matchups, the full auto weapons leave your butt hanging out of cover for a long time to kill something. The incisor is also a lot of fun but just doesn't do enough damage per burst in my opinion.

3 - Favorite weapons...
Sniper (my fav type) - Valiant and Black Widow, haven't tried the Krysae since the tweak, but it was a fun novelty weapon
SMG - Never touch them though the Geth plasma smg with as many rate of fire enhancements as you can does tickle my fancy.
Pistol - Carnifex (just started playing around with Arc pistol too), Paladin would be on there but too heavy at level I (all I have at the moment)
Assault rifle - GPR, Revenant, Harrier but I also rarely use ARs
Shotgun - This weapon class is probably the most fun. I love the geth plasma shotgun and really like the wraith, claymore, graal and scimitar. Reegar has also quickly risen to the top of my vanguard loadouts.

[jrod512ATX]

I like to use a variety of weapons, I use several snipers rifles, shotguns and pistols.

I think I only use one SMG the Hurricane and now one assault rifle the Harrier, sometimes the Mattock. I think the rest of the SMGs and ARs are could be better.

I'd like to see something different, for instance I liked the Kishock, I don't use it all of the time but every now and then I feel like it and I have fun with it. If I had to pick a favorite it might be the Harrier...

[Niran]

Nope. More is always better , i dont care if new weapons suck , but an even wider range of weapons we can choose from will give us the ability to invidualise more

No. luckily. A M-M-M-Monster weapon that does all wouldnt be cool.

Graal.

1. there is a 'good range' as it stands, but not a great one. more weapons than not end up not only being outclassed, but made outright irrelevant. that being said, more weapons can only enhance the experience.
2. the carnifex, hands down, and it's not even close.
3. the scorpion. it feels and looks like the quintessential sci-fi gun.

[GallowsPole]

Tried the rest and use only the best ..... Carnifex/Paladin

[WYLDMAXX]

I would like to see a Riot Shield.

Phalanx is my favorite weapon followed by the GPSMG. (Hamster on 'roids)

[sentinel_87]

1. Yes

2. Yes, would always like more semi-automatic assault rifles though

3. Mattock, Valiant, Phalanx, Cerberus Harrier, Hornet and the Locust are my favourite weapons

[Zero_X02]

There is almost a good range of weaponry, but there is only one good Assault Rifle: the Ultra-rare Cerberus Harrier. Other assault rifles (Avenger, Phaeston, GPR) are either really weak to the point that they hinder any team outside of bronze, or they don't feel like ARs at all (Mattock, Falcon, Saber). More full auto ARs would be nice.

There aren't really any weapons that cover every niche and level now that the Krysae has been nerfed.

My favorite weapon right now is the Hurricane since it is the closest thing I have to a reasonable assault rifle.

Lol, i wonder if the reason for the thread is to ask which weapon we should nerf next.

Generally speaking, i think that there is a weapon for every occation. Not all weapons cater to my personal taste, but i'm pretty sure that no matter what scenario someone can think of, there is a weapon that fits well into it. As a whole, the weapon range is pretty much complete with every desired niche filled.

Derek Hollan wrote...
"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

The weapons that i consider my favourites are either N7 promotional weapons, well evolved Ultra Rares or fully evolved Rare weapons, so in that end of the spectrum, everything seems in order. I dont see myself agreeing with the statements of "this weapons i [insert something here]", as i've seen pretty much every class perform both excellently and horribly with pretty much every weapon. I think it comes down to the individual player much more than people realize - and that being said, i feel that with the current range of weapons offers an ideal weapon for every pretty much every kind of player. Unless said player likes Assault Rifles - then the armoury does leave something to be desired - either in damage and accuracy of the older weapons, or merely buffing the spare ammo of one of the newly added weapons (read: Cerberus Harrier) by a considerable amount.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

Only if you promise not to ner... balance them i'll be honest and tell you that i enjoy the sniper rifles and precise shotguns very much at the moment. My N7 Valiant mk.2 and Geth Plasma Shotgun mk.10 has to be my favourites. I find the way that they are able to deliver damage in bursts much more appealing than the overall (high) DPS delivered by other weapon systems. I want to like the assault rifle as a whole more, but even though they
are on par when looking at overall damage per second, the time one has
to leave cover to deliver said damage exposes me more than i want to. As
such, i tend to pick "bust-weapons" more often.

And now that i have your attention...

The Cerbereus Harrier is great though - if only it had had more spare ammunition.

In comparison, with a sniper rifle or shotgun - or the Reverant or Falcon for that matter, i only find myself running to restock ammo on the later waves (given that everyone are pulling their weight). With the Cerberus Harrier, even if i try and conserve ammo, i find myself running to the crates several times each wave after the first 2.

[FrOoOstBite]

Yes and yes. My favorite weapon is The Indra

[Cyonan]

1. Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?

I feel like there's a good range right now. I do feel that some weapons eclipse others, but it's mostly high tier(gold) ones eclipsing low tier(blue) ones. I don't know if you guys want the higher tiers to mean they're better or if everything is supposed to be at about the same level. For reference, the specific weapons I have in mind while I'm typing this are:

Arc Pistol vs Predator
Widow vs Mantis(Admittedly the Mantis is fairly light which is a big plus for casters)
Geth Pulse Rifle vs Avenger

2. Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?

I would say so. I feel that some weapons are too wide of a niche, though. An example would be the Paladin heavy pistol. It's heavy for a pistol but lightweight as a weapon overall(Under 1.0 I would call lightweight), has very good damage, and high accuracy. The main drawback to the gun as I see it is a limiting ammo capacity, but in the world of multi-player I feel that ammo isn't really a rare resource like it can be in single-player.

I like the overall range of skill levels the guns can fill.

3. With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?

To give my favourite of each weapon class:

Sniper Rifle: Black Widow
Assault Rifle: Falcon
SMG: Hornet
Shotgun: Wraith
Pistol: Arc Pistol

My overall favourite would be the Black Widow, as I'm a sniper at heart.

As additional feedback, if I had to say which kinds of weapons I want to see in the future, I would say new and interesting mechanics that break the mold of the "standard guns". I really like the idea of the Reegar, especially as an "anti shield" weapon with the 3x shield modifier that comes with so many electrical attacks.

[Hackett out]

I know that light machine guns have been rumoured for the next dlc, and if that is true then great. I would really like you guys to look at improving the assault rifles, rather than adding more just make the ones we have useful, my favourite would be the phaeston, even though it is super weak, if i would ask for anything it would be more variety. The harpoon gun and electric flamethrower were excellent ideas and felt fresh.


One more thing I would like to add is this - Don't be afraid to make powerul weapons, I'm not talking stupidly op but something with a good punch would be great, there is nothing worse than getting a new gun say the Indra for example and its one of those weapons that ill never use again because it is awful.
