The Viper is pretty good with Antishield tech characters.
I use it with Salarians and Turian Sentinel, decent enough to headshot enemies on Gold

TC/OP is being overly dramatic.

Tactical cloak needed the nerf....the number of infiltrators wanting the quick kills was out of hand imho. besides it wasnt that big of a nerf...IT WASNT A class KILLING NERF

and the javelin is too heavy to use anyways.
the krysae is okay...not as awesome as it was before....but okay for its aoe. Im okay with the nerf..cuz when it first came out everyone was using it for quick kills...now less people will use it. still good for aoe...and i will continue to use it with my asari vanguard

I still prefer the Valiant for my QFI on gold, but on platinum the enemies swarm faster than the door crashers on Boxing Day. I'm just not skilled enough to make a SR work.

dude... the Kishock Still negates shield gate, a geth infiltrator 1 headshot kills a phantom w it on gold, and the BW is still awsome.

I use shadow strike like a madman, and guess what? no i dont die too often, EVEN on gold, and I am the team's rez pony. quit ur whining plz.

Javelin - shield gate penetration REMOVED

Kishock Harpoon Gun - shield gate penetration REMOVED

Krysae - damage nerfed TWICE, Rate of fire decreased, Recoil Increased, Zoom Recoil Increased, Total ammo capacity dropped. (In other words this gun is now a slow firing low damage useless piece of dren.

All Sniper Rifles - no longer get headshot bonus on bosses.

All Sniper Rifles - cannot penetrate shield gate.


Add this to the nerfs they gave to Infiltrator

Tactical Cloak - 90% of enemies see through this and 'look behind the curtain' to detect where u are.

Tactical Cloak - base cloaking decreased to 4 seconds!

Tactical Cloak - Evolution 6 Sniper Rifle Bonus Damage decreased by 15%

Shadow Strike - To risky to use in Gold or Platinum because enemies murder you during your strike animation (even when you cloak from cover before you use SS - even if you have TC evolution 6 'one free power use.'



You have successfully ruined an entire class, Bioware.



----> How is the Krysae Sniper Rifle useless? Have you played with it? because honestly, after reading what you said about it, looks like you don't know how to use it!


Been using it on my SI since it came out. Was my fav gun then they nerfed the damage. Now they've nerfed EVERY aspect of it. It fires 1 round every 2 seconds now. Total paperweight after today's nerf. Maybe GI with rate of fire will help a little but for every other Infiltrator it is now worthless.

I reckon it's GodlessPaladin's fault! He played Platinum with GI+Krysae at ComiCon and not only proved Platinum is doable but brought it to their attention for a second round of nerfs.

Damn them all to hell.


Wow what a buffoon. He ruined one of my favorite weapons for human soldier.

I haven't picked up a sniper since they removed boss headshots. I play only Gold/Platinum and every sniper rifle just sucks on anything higher than silver, due to shield gate.

The only sniper (Krysae) that was viable on Gold/Platinum, has now been nerfed to oblivion, imo.


Krysae isn't a sniper, it requires zero skill to use and it isn't the only viable one to use on gold or platinum, I primarily use my BW and do just fine on gold/plat so quit whining and just become a better player :P

It utterly fails to surprise me that you're a Krysae user. A 35 RoF would be terrible... if it didn't deal AoE damage boosted by the TC Evo 6 multiplier, and anything else that boosts sniper damage.

Dial back the drama, a little.

BW on Glacier Platinum... lol... just lol. You won't be able to see stuff in ur scope because enemies are right by ur side in seconds on that map. Good luck killing 2 banshees while a brute humps ur face. I'd like to see u quickscope ur way outa that one.

I'm sure u and ur BW are a great asset to your team while ur standing there wishing those 2 phantoms would just sit still for a minute so u could actually hit one instead of being downed every time they fire at u.

The Krysea was the only sniper rifle viable for plat becuase of its ROf and explosive Aoe Damage, now i gotta run with a shotty on my infiltrator *sigh*

It was NEVER a sniper rifle, it was more of a rpg than anything else.

What Bioware SHOULD have done was make it a heavy weapon like the Cobra and give the option of using that or a missile launcher.

I thought there was still partial shield gate pen on M-98 and black widow. I don't think black widow was useful though until at a high level anyway, but still like the black widow.

My favorite gun was the indra for a long time, but now I can't even use it if I want to help my team on platinum or even gold. I miss the fun I used to have with this gun, and all the good memories I have with it. 'Twas my very first Ultra rare, and now it's almost useless  :(

surely the viable snipers are only Valiant and Widow now, and anyway, try to be the last man standing on Platinum and have 2 Atlas and a Widow
Atlas shields recharge faster than Widow and Tactical Cloak reload

Infiltrators now are only good with melee builds and to do the 4 cap objective

Not sure if you just mean on platinum, but sniper builds for infiltrator are still good on gold. Trick is you have to have something like a level 10 black widow. Some of the previously useful sniper weapons are no longer useful, but javelin for example has never had any shield gate buffs. Even with a level 10 black widow, I have to use extended barrel and armor piercing mods, I can't add scope or ammo or it doesn't hit hard enough.

Enemies up close me don't bother me and you are saying glacier since that is the easiest map to plat farm, I will admit I don't like using a sniper on small maps, but as a player I have to deal with it. Small maps or large maps, it all basically comes down to the same thing... Killing enemies, I won't place first if this map comes up but regardless I'll help the team out

Well, I dont ever snipe so i wouldnt know how bad they're doing...


Do they still kill? If they do, i dont see how they're useless.

Another DRJ fan?!?!??!?


Side note: Try using a real mans sniper rifle. The Raptor still is the best weapon.

Only Infi I like is the Shadow, and thats because I avoid Snipers all together. I agree with OP, Infi's are horrible now. TC doesn't even work on Escort, like really?

Its still the point in ALL games HEADSHOTS 1 hit kill! Shield gate is boring and no fun to play with.
This game should have been like call of duty zombies. More enemies of the weaker type rushing you

Primes should also take headshot damage but the head should be covered by 2-3 armored plates that need to be knocked off with a power with enough force (calling for team work)


You're the type of person that would build a combat robot and then put the central processing unit in the head part, instead of the heavily armored torso.

Aren't you?


:lol:

I laughed.

BW and Valiant needs a good old fashioned nerfing before you can even say that snipers are dead, though a 25% damage reduction for all snipers across the board might work also.
