Pros.
The Particle Rifle has perfect stability and accuracy, unlimited/recharging ammo, high RoF, does great damage in its "hot mode," and great range.
Cons.
The Particle Rifle is very heavy, has a very long reload, does horrible damage in "cold mode," stops doing damage at a certain range, is bad at CQC, stops shooting if staggered, and is a UR.
Tips.
Always shoot from cover, if possible. Do not go to ammo boxes unless using grenades. Let teammates get ammo first, if using grenades. Start the beam as you turn the corner, and always go for headshots.
Do not aim in if the enemy is moving. Lock on the target first, and then aim in.
Watch your ammo and strafe while shooting. You can stop the beam, if you want to set off a combo.
Tricks.
Both the Human Soldier and N7 Destroyer Soldier can jump-start the reload.
If using the HS, use Adrenaline Rush when the reload animation (the character holds the gun away from its body) starts to skip it. If using the Destroyer, switch Devastator Mode on and off. It will cause the ammo to jump start.
You will not get staggered behind cover, so always try to shoot from cover.
The RoF increase in Devastator Mode, Marksman, or Hunter Mode does not help it get to "hot mode" faster.
But if your using Incendiary Rounds they do help with it DoT.
The Batarian's extra ammo ability, the Thermal Clip Storage, and Barrage Upgrade gears do not add any ammo to the Particle Rifle. However, the N7 Destroyer's extra magazine increases the ammo by 10% or 35%.
You can use Tactical Cloak 2 or 3 times while firing the beam to get TC damage boost.
Update: The Turian Ghost Infiltrator's rank 6 Tactical Cloak increases assault rifles damage by 20% for 10 seconds, plus his Stimulant Pack can increase damage by 17.5% for at least 6 second. This means the Ghost may have the most powerful PPR shot in the game.
You can use a power (ex. Concussive Shot or Reave) to staggers the enemy before starting the beam to get easy headshots.
Update: After the patch on 10/4/12 Bosses take headshot damage so aim for there heads.
Update: When Drells use the PPR (and the CSR) the camera will shift down near their elbow making it very hard to use the PPR with Drells
Here's a video showing this glitch
Mods, Ammo, and Gear.
Always use Extended Magazine and Piercing Mod because the other mods will not help.
Update: The High-Velocity Barrel helps way more than the Piercing Mod however it will make the PPR heavier so if you plan on using the PPR on a character with a power watch your cooldown.
Incendiary is the best ammo for the Particle Rifle.
Update: with the change to fire and cryo explosions on October 9, 2012 Cryo ammo is great on the PPR
If not using grenades, use the Assault Rifle Amp. If using grenades, use the Warfighter Package.
If worried about defense, use the Stronghold Package, Multicapacitor, or Shield Booster.
Builds.
There are alot of good builds that can use the PPR, however there are three builds anyone with the PPR has to try
Human Soldier
N7 Destroyer
Turian Ghost
These builds are not set in stone if you want to use Grenades or Overload use them.
Videos (Note these are before the patch and the two buffs)
