the typhoon does have a major downside though. it does have a warm-up time, and for the first second, you barely do any damage at all. that might not sound dramatic, but anytime you get staggered, you have to warm it up again. same for leaving cover, dodging, running, etc.
so imagine this against the geth, where all but one enemy can stagger you.

if you get into CQC with that weapon, then you're screwed. you won't be able to damage a single enemy.


Phantoms have a habit of dancing around your typhoon fire making you waste all your ammo then they rush you.
I prefer Piranah for CQC

Typhoon > Harrier (Slightly. It weighs a lot more though) > Mattock > Vindicator > Falcon > Revenant > Striker > Phaeston > Avenger > GPR

I don't have the Particle Rifle or Collector Rifle.


This, except I'd put the GPR right in front of the Vindicator instead of at the end of the pack, and then the Falcon and Revenant right behind that.

Between the Typhoon and the Harrier, it's a mixed bag.  Depends on the class really, considering that the Harrier doesn't weight too much, especially compared to the Typhoon.  Typhoon has innate penetration, a good clip size, and a higher sustained DPS, while the Harrier has a higher burst DPS (only because of the Typhoon's spin-up time) and lower weight.

I'm a fan of the phaeston as well, one of only a couple ar's I like that I don't need magazine upgrade on....run it with extended barrel and piercing and your good. The mattock is really good, just more involved.

Side note....hunter mode buffs the phaeston quite a lot, rof + accuracy + more damage...quite good.

Can I be honest? Harrier clip size is too small for me. I play far better with just a Phaeston VIII.

Falcon on Destroyer works pretty good. Haven't got Typhoon yet, might try it on when unlocked.

How do these changes make the Phaeston compare to the Hurricane?

Also:

Buff the Rare Geth Plasma Rifle, did you guys forget that one?

Personally I'm a fan of the Phaeston; I like the machine gun feel (alright, not phenomenal damage, but large clip) with light weight and accuracy. I've been using it on my hunter-less Geth engineer and my Paladin.

That being said, I have yet to actually unlock the Harrier or the Typhoon.


High five.  Image IPB    I knew that there were more people out there like me.



Yes! The Phaeston is my go to single gun for the Asari Justicar.

Glad to see the upgrade! Image IPB

Hurricane is way more powerful than phaeston still...but still hard to handle without the mod which I don't have. I can't use the hurricane well outside short range.

I don't like turian soldier, love the sentinel but haven't tried him with hurricane. I prefer one gun on most classes....hurricane seems limited as a primary on a low mobility class...I'll try it though.

I will definitely use hurricane as backup on gi once they fix ulm though.

Marksman + Hurricane = Turricane.  Especially with the new SMG Piercing mod.

I think it may have been the most popular soldier prior to the Destroyer's release.

I had seen it a TON in Gold's.

I just got my Hurricane yesterday.  So I'm pretty pumped to try it.

But it definitely works very well with a Turian Sentinel, too, since it's largely a power based class.

Take whatever gun you want. The differences aren't all that dramatic. Most power comes from equipment and spec. Provided you don't pick a horrible gun, awareness is what will push you through gold

I love the vindicator. If I play bronze on a levelling character, I'll use that. Beat the single player using vindicator and black widow, so I'm super-used to the weapon. Glad they buffed it. It's all about stabiliser and extra damage, and trying to use it like a BR in halo. Aime for the neck/upper torso, and keep adjusting, 0.5 second intervals, love it.

But yeah, I still use the typhoon when the shiz is serious.
