Personally I find the biggest problem of Crusader to be very high recoil. It's just not fun to use when after every shot your aim goes up by a meter.

Giving the Crusader extra damage for a headshot would make it much more viable.


Giving it a "charge up" mechanic like GPS where charged up shot breaks the slug into multiple pellets to ignore shieldate would be better. 

Or vice versa:

Crusader - standard shottie. Charging up makes it fire slugs with great accuracy at long ranges. 


That would effectively kill the gun... just my opinion., but then I loathe charge up weapons. Again, if it's not your style of gun, then don't play it... problem solved!

CRUSADER SUCKS:alien:

It is the wielder that makes the weapon great. So if it sucks, you don't know how to use it.


Use the butt end of it on a Geth Hunter's head  :P

1. cause people want to
2. they want variety and dont wanna use the same weapons on every class/character
3. it's a good gun
4. they want to and it's a good gun
those are the reasons i can think of real quick as to why people would use a crusader....but i get it, this is the bsn and since it's a shotgun and doesnt perform exactly like the claymore, graal, or gps, it means it's not a good gun Image IPB

I don't get why people compare it to the Claymore. It's just retarded, imo... like comparing the Indra to the Widow, the Talon to the Phalanx, the Scorpion to the Predator, or the Saber to the Avenger.

The Crusader may be a shotgun, but functionally it's similar to the Saber and therefore should be compared to it much like the talon should be compared to shotguns, since it essentially functions as a shotgun.


I compared it to the Claymore because that seems the go-to gun everyone compares all shotguns. I do agree with you. It should IMO be compared to the Widow and Saber. As you said It's functionality is completely different to the Claymore. You raise a good point.

I haven't found any other weapon that fits my Krogan Sentinel as nice as the Crusader.

It's great against armored targets, it's accuracy is awesome and it doesn't have a scope.
I like it.

I do USE (no past tense) it a lot, and the crusader has the claymore beat in my opinion... don't get me wrong claymore has a lot of punch, but it's a reload spammer by comparison.


Reload spammer?


Yes, a reload spammer... meaning you spam reload with it... meaning I don't find it to be a very effective shotgun considering you spend more time reloading it than actually firing... and yes, that is sarcasm and my opinion which is why I no longer use a claymore. ;)

ridicoulous recoil, not too great damage, weight that rivals with the javelin and typhoon.... sorry but it's absolute and complete BS.

I shoot once with a Claymore and reload in peace. You shoot 4 times, reload, shoot more. At the same target.

I can empty an entire clip from the Locust into an enemy's head from across the map, and not kill it.

The problem is definitely not my supposed lack of player skill. It's that the Locust sucks.

Incorrect! Once again (because this point seems to be lost on you), just because you can't use it effectively doesn't mean it's a bad gun. It just means it's not a good gun for you... there's no shame in that. It's no dig on you... it's just not for you.

I used Crusader for a few Silver games with Turian Soldier.

I screamed "GET OFF MY LAWN" every headshot, and "ITS WABBIT SEASON" each wave.

So yeah, that was pretty much all the fun I could squeeze out of the Crusader.

I wanna see you one shot a Ravager with a Crusader. Or 2 shot a brute. Or one shot a Marauder on Gold with a body shot. Or a Centurion. 

Thought so.

I wanna see you snipe enemies from across the map with a Claymore, on Firebase Hydra. Or OSK enemies with headshots from the Balcony to the enemy spawn on Firebase London. Or OSK anything farther than 40 meters away without the mandatory smart choke, high caliber barrel, AP ammo III, and Tactical Cloak/Hunter Mode/Devastator Mode with accuracy bonuses

Thought so.

But you can't 1 shot them with a headshot on Gold. And I can. Even with luck. And Smart Choke is mandatory so don't make a fuss about it. :happy:

 I have both weapon at same level and when compared to a Paladin, Crusader is outclassed. 

Image IPB

Paladin has almost half Cruysader's weight, almost half the recoil, better burst DPS, better fire rate and it still easier to upgrade.

Plus, pistols can be equiped with better mods. The only mod Shotgun have that Pistols don't is Spare ammo and Smart choke. And both are pointless for the crusader.

Crusader does more damage and have a nice penetration. I will give you that.

This gun is good with Stabilization gear and amps. There's no accuracy decrease after shooting it, it's always spot on.

Maybe the Turians can squeeze some good out of it.

If we want it to be better. Make it ignore shield gate and Increase it's headshot damage some more. It could be lighter but works on Krogan and it seems to kill Geth allright.



Dude.
You used smart choke on the crusader.
Your opinion is invalid.

The weapon is inferior to most of the gold tier shotguns, ergo it sucks.
Period.

Aw, and I think you're officially trolling now too. See, with the right character, yes... I can do pretty much any of those... and I can do it more effectively because I don't have to wait for the reload constantly... and I don't need to body shot a maurader when I can just pop it's head off from across the map and move on to the 2 phamtoms and 2 brutes coming in behind me on platinum while you die getting up close and waiting for your gun to finally reload... oh and by the way, the reload speed of the crusader is just another perk of the gun!

Also as another poster pointed out... claymore and the crusader are two completely different guns used in completely different ways... you trying to argue it is cute, but again... I'll happily play with my apple and you can happily play with your orange.

People. Were comparing a Shotgun and a sniper rifle here.
Can we please burn the strawmen and actually be on the same plane of excistence while we argue?

Crusader is on the shotgun tab but behaves like a sniper rifle.
Compare it to the same kind of odd duck I.E the Saber.
THEN you can wave your strawmans.

Also Air Quotes. Would you like the crusader to be another claymore? Seriously would you? We'd lose something unique in the process of change IMO.
And Air Quotes. Troll less or find a valid point other than ''It's not Claymore''.

I never use a smart choke on it and I find it vastly superior to any other shotgun in the game...

Don't knock it if you can't/don't use it.

I can if they don't have shields. Even if it takes two, at the ranges the Crusader is capable of firing from, you would completely miss with the majority of your pellets.

That's another advantage the Crusader has: Shredder mod, and smart choke are not mandatory. Armor DR has almost no effect on it, because it fires a single slug. Smart Choke has no effect because the gun already has pinpoint accuracy.

The Crusader in it's current state is absolute garbage, but ffs can we stop comparing it to the Claymore?

its like the Saber in that if you can score headshots easly its useful, it does have perfect accuracy at all times which is actually a step above the saber in that reguard + cover penetration...

however....

its damage is not enough for the weight and ammo capacity, so you must be extremely skilled with it or use something else.

To be fair, there's basically no damned reason to use the Crusader if you have other weapons. There are just better long-range weapons and better shotguns. The damage is too low and the recoil is too high. It may not be horrible, but it's definitely not an optimal choice.
