I mean all three are very OP so why does everyone only hate the Krysae?

It easy to see why people would hate all of them

The Krysae is a more powerful, Sniper Rifle version of the Falcon that kills almost any in three shots.

The Reegar can kill every boss in the game in one and a half clips.

The Harrier is the first true Assault Rifle in the game that by itself is OP.

So why does everyone hate on the Krysae?

I don't like the Krysae because it's awkward for me to use. Maybe if it didn't have a scope I could use it better.

Maybe because it doesnt require any skills to use and is the strongest sniper rifle right now. Both Reegar and Harrier burn through ammo very quickly and Harrier is an UR so upgrading is a pain while Reegar require you to CQC

Neither does the Reegar or Harrier, all three are point and shoot guns no skill is required to use these guns.

Isn't every gun a "point-and-shoot" gun?

This, I guess that if the Krysae was an Ultra Rare, it wouldn't have been hated this much.
The Harrier is powerful, but lacks spare ammo and is an Ultra Rare, and you still have to aim to hit things.
The Reegar is powerful too, but not more powerful than a Claymore, and has a limited range.

The Krysae well... It's powerful and explosive, and can clear whole spawns in 3 shots.

Because Krysae has no drawbacks at all in addition to being a complete faceroll, while Reegar and Harrier have several very clear ones. Reegar has next to nothing for ammo, a long reload time, and a maximum range outside of which it has no effect. Harrier's ammo problems are the stuff of slapstick comedy, and it's an ultra-rare, thus difficult to acquire and upgrade.

All three of them have contributed to weapon power creep in the metagame, though.

Reegar has a very short range. Guy who uses it must have balls to do it properly. So forgivable.

Harrier has a very short ammo supply. Guy who uses it must use his brains or risk running dry as a Marauder laughs at you. Dicey, so forgivable. And as one of few "good" AR, people don't want to rock the boat.

Krysae OTOH.. I can't get it to work right but I've seen others who can. Long ranged, explosive, multi-shot. That allows a blanketing from very far away that doesn't really expose the firer to much danger while conveniently wiping out the enemy. The ammo is decent IIRC, but the ability to strike from long range mitigates it (you can camp over an ammo box (e.g. Hydra) and have reach to touch a good portion of a map). Used right, it's a low-risk, high reward weapon that is comparatively easy to use.

Reegar requires you to go up close and personal, Harrier is a pain to upgrade and makes you vulnerable to return fire and both of them burn through ammo very quickly. Krysae: click-stunlock-click-stunlock-click-stunlock

I think to simplify, it not only does massive damage, but it doesn't even require a person to AIM. You just sort of fire it in a general direction 3 times and stuff dies. It detonates just by being NEAR things.

The falcon and scorpion, the 2 other similar weapons, don't even come close.

All 3 weapons are very strange. A sniper weapon that can't get head shots, a more-or-less automatic shot gun, and an assault rifle you have to reload every few seconds.

Which of those weapons people like or don't like depends in large part to how easily they get used to how weird they are. If you can accept them for what they are, they are pretty good. But if you can't get used to a sniper rifle that can't mail-slot guardians, or you can't get used to having to reload more often than just between waves, then your opinion will be different.

The krysae was so powerful it got the infiltrators nerfed and the other sniper rifles obsolete. It also requires no aim and can easily take out a spawn.

cause the krysae calls forth poor players and non-team players who just camp by an ammo box and shoot explosive rounds from across the map. doesn't require sniping skill what so ever, even if you shoot at an enemy in low cover the bloody shell explodes above them as if it had proximity detectors.

The reager as much as it does damage requires you to be very upclose and personal and at that range hitting a mobile target isn't always that easy

don't have the harrier

Oh ok that I can understand why now. Thank you for the information

Because they're paying a monthy subscription for aimbots so they don't like it when non-aimbotters can steal their kills for free.

Krysae: perfect example of bad balancing and a poor excuse for sniper rifle (oh look explosive weapon with zoom, irony is YOU CAN'T headshot).

Reegar: slap shredder mod and extended barrel and melt things right away (But, but, but it requies skill to not to die! Wrong fact Billy, shoot it from cover if you so afraid that your Drell will die instantly)

Harrier: a tricky one, camping ammo box is not what this game is about,altough i have to admit first assault rifle that has overwhelming damage.

I'll be the first to admit the Krysae requires very little skill, but i still love it and am not afraid to stick up for it, for this reason:
I would class myself as an average Gold player, i'm not one of those pros who can solo Gold on his own. I also only play random pickup games - my Xbox friends only play Halo. So when i start a Gold game and see my teammates dieing on wave 1 coz they are running around like headless chickens, there is only 1 weapon that is going to give me a prayer of getting to extraction. And that is the Krysae :)

You got that right every single person that I've seen using it ends up on the floor, including myself.:crying:

Now the claymore. That gun is OP.

I have to wonder if the Krysea wasn't something of a novelty in the game, I ran with it for a couple of weeks as I received it as soon as it came out and the upgrades followed, it has it's drawbacks at least for me and it gets boring pretty fast, it takes far too long to take out heavy armor and requires little skill.

Reegar I have also had since it came out, I really like having it on the team however it does not fit my game style, I like staying my distance from the enemy and covering those who wish to get up close and personal, I have tried it a few times and it's a great weapon.

Harrier is what I run with on most of my characters, I have been an AR guy since ME1 and IMHO it's the only AR in MP3 that I will give the time of day to, one does burn through ammo however if we discipline ourselves and not unload the thing, it is a very effective weapon, I like head shots and the Harrier delivers.

There are many weapons that could be considered OP by some however they seem to fall under the radar as not many run with them for whatever reason, for me the bottom line is there has to be weapons that are better than others and harder to get, I don't see anything at the moment that is OP, I welcome all weapons to the team as well as characters.

In silver I do not see the Krysea all that often.

What character did you use?
The Reegar is easy to use if your character has a power that staggers the enemy first.

Bear in mind the platform. IMO, PC is better suited ot the Reegar as it allows for finer control. Xbox controllers are a bit hit and miss, at least I tend to miss. With the Reegar. At Point Blank range. Twitch and the stream flies off target.
