 The prothean particle rifle is underrated, so I want to share how I play it. I use it on my N7 Destroyer, who can handle things pretty well with it.

I put everything on weapon damage, on devastator mode I chose magazine size everytime. Now my particle rifle X has 300 ammo, at 275 it begins it's charged attack, and the rest of 275 basically kills off everything. I didn't upgrade missile at all, chose frag grenade instead, which is much better.

I modded the rifle with extended magazine and armor piercing

I use Warfighter package for the grenades and more damage, assault rifle amp 3 and warp ammo. As a backup weapon i would recommend the Reegar Carbine. Deadly at close range

I can write down the exact build is someone is interested. Just give it a shot, it rules platinum, extremly good against banshees and phantoms, but this combination is effective against everything

Edit: So I will share the build

Devastator mode:4a (shield) 5a (magazine size) 6b (damage bonus). 
Weapon accuracy is not important, the PPR is a pinpoint weapon. The magazine size is important for the rifle, so as the damage boost.

Missile launcher: none I know it is capable of staggering enemies with autofire, I maxed it with hydra missiles, used it on every difficulty, but honestly I don't miss it. Points have better place to go.

Multi-frag grenade: You can amk it as you want. My build is 4b; 5b; 6a. It is effective at groups and single targets (single targets only at close range)

T5-V Battlesuit: 4a (weapon damage) 5b (headshots) 6b (weapon damage). 
Power bonus can be missed, so the wight capacity bonus. This class relies heavily on the weapons. Since this build is for PPR, go for headshots, and aim for heads. This is the most effectvie way to use the PPR.

Fitness: Just put everything on health, you probably won't use this character for melee.

*Additional information. You are a supporter in your team. Your highest priority is to take down the enemies that are the closest to you/are the biggest threat to you and your team. Focus on bosses, but only if they're very close or you don't have anything else to shoot at. Leave about 5 "ammo" in your weapon, so you don't have to wait 5 sec reload animation, but only a 3 sec full cooldown of the weapon. Enjoy your day!

Yes.

I love it. I got tired of running out of ammo. Fire ammo+RoF is better though.

This. Incendiary Rounds are far better for the Particle Rifle.

That is good aswell, but the warp ammo handles shields aswell.

It does. Effective against barriers (smaller bonus for shields), armor and health. Believe me, it's not just experience, I read the stats

AFAIK Warp Rounds net you a general damage bonus, nothing special against shields and/or barriers.

Warp rounds do not net a general damage bonus.

They give a special bonus against everything that is not shields. Barriers, armor, and health...

Incindiary ammo is the only one that works on all defenses in MP, for some reason.

It is great on the destroyer/batarian due to the clip size but I just dont like the fact that its only those two classes. Of course, you can mod the weapon to try and bring out its true potential in mag size but its not versatile on a broad range of classes as I thought it would be which is the only thing I find truely disapointing.

AFAIK Warp only gives bonuses to health, barriers and armour. It weakens armour as well and gives a damage bonus to lifted enemies.

Shhhh!!!! People will know my exploitation!

[Bhatair]

I'd wonder if having the missile launcher specced for hydra missiles wouldn't be a better option than grenades.
The reasoning being that they will continuously fire and stagger enemies while you fire the PPR in 'hot' mode. Grenades would interrupt the firing. Besides, multi frags are pretty meh themselves.

[kicsimalac]

I specced once for missile spamming. I can't recognize its lack. The grenade also staggers them, and actually does serious damage

[Yoshiyuki Ly]

Late to the party.

[Sanunes]

Would I need the Particle Rifle to be at rank 10 for this to be effective? For I only have it at rank 1.

[sareth_65536]

it is good for high shields class, for camping, for maps with lots of cover (vancouver!), but the worst weapon for running around so I still won't use it

[Lord Rosario]

Now I just need the Particle Rifle... >.<

AFAIK Warp Ammo gives the largest general bonus of 35% (Warp Ammo III).  It obviously does do add'l damage to Barriers, but as to how much, I don't know.  It also weakens armor.  Don't know about health.

Is this not correct?

I've tried both out, and it's hard for me to come to a good conclusion.  I did find Warp Ammo worked really well for me.  I do also like Incendiary, which I've used more of lately.  Will try again tonight with Warp Ammo vs Reapers.

imo, this is one of the most level dependent guns in the game - not just because of the damage but because of the magazine size too.  Every bit of increase in mag size helps this gun a lot.

[elitehunter34]

According to the stats from downloading the app in this thread Warp ammo gives: 25% weakness to armor, 15% extra damage, and 25% extra damage to lifted targets, but the extra damage might not be applied to shields and barriers. Can anyone confirm this?

[DopedGoat84]

The particle rifle is terrible, fair enough I have the Harrier 9 and only Particle 1. I've tried everything with it and it sucks hard. God forsake you if you manage to overheat it, your as good as dead on Platinum,

I honestly prefer the Revenant or Phaeston over it.
