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

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

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

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

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

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.

Warp ammo III gives a straight 35% damage bonus, ignores 50% of armor reductions, and does 75% extra damage to lifted targets. The damage bonuses may not apply to shielded targets though.

with all those amps and bonus powers ofcourse its going to do well.

On its own thogh the particle riffle is a POS.

Not only that but you have to sit on open fire while for a good few seconds while getting shot up.

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.

Try it on a human soldier with adrenaline rush: damage, melee (duration is useless, the clip will be empty before the end of the extended time), shield boost. It's like a 3 stage weapon. Activate AR as soon as the weapon is hot and watch things melt. You can take quite a bit of punishment if you equip some cyclonic modulators. Too bad the human soldier has such a low health/shield pool as it makes this build too reliant on cyclonic modulators. This is the only drawback to me.

As the OP, I prefer using warp ammo over incendiary ammo. I find it very efficient against barriers, and the armor piercing mod paired with warp is great against armor too.

I use this most of the time against reapers. It's harder against cerberus as they dodge a lot and move quite fast.

I would say the Part rifle is only good at tier x and only with destroyer and clip size and what other mod

I like using it on the Asari Justicar. She's got enough survivability with her defensive sphere to tank most attacks.

[masswor5]

I still prefer firing forever with a revenant on a human soldier though.

Opinions about this gun are very extreme. People either love it or they hate it.

[Fighter084]

Fully specced out with weapon damage on Destroyer and using mag and AP mod on PPR V, I would also add warfighter package and rifle bonus with incendiary ammo, all this added together I can have 240 ammo and kill ANYTHING with a full clip once the shields/barrier is down. With full barriers up, I can take down a banshee to 1/3 armor left. The DOT fire damage can also eat about 2 or 3 more armor bars too. Great weapon if there's a decoy or enemies are concentrating on someone else.

This is how I feel when I use the Particle Rifle.

Couldn't make it work for me against Geth. Too much Geth prime rail cannon shots

If the gun has a weakness, that's definitely it.

Although the Destroyer is immune to stagger when Devastator Mode is on.

I find the PR quite hard to aim when using the controller. Don't have that smooth aim movement, I often moved the aim off the target. Probably better on the PC with mouse aiming.

[Shpoon]

Can I have your manifest, OP? Everything unlocked, I'm greeeeeen with envy 

[DHKany]

troll store is trolling me.

[TianKY]

Tried it, but it doesn't really do better than the Destroyer/Piranha combo. Plus you have to pick magazine size on devastator mode, which has the greatest benefit only for weapons like the Particle rifle and Stryker. On the other hand, the ROF evolution is better for the Piranha and almost any other weapon, which makes any secondary weapon I carry better.

Edit: it is still a good combo, just not on par with Destroyer/Piranha.

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

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.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking.

I am curious.
I do not yet have the PPR, but own an Indra 7, wonder how would they compare assuming comparison with a PPR7.

It's a bad comparision. They fill completely different roles....

The Particle Rifle is far more destructive, but to be honest, you shouldn't even be considering a Particle Rifle on most classes you would use an Indra with.

Noted.


Though I would think that the Destroyer breaks that rule.


At the moment my Indra fills in the "reach out and touch" something hard niche that my Typhoon used to. With ammo mods, it outperforms my Revenant X, Typhoon I, with scary results (using warp / incendiary 4s) even when using the same mods on those weapons. Well Typhon post nerf of course, and since the RNG simply does not want to give us weapons or even gear first, I don't foresee getting a Typhoon X any time in the near future to compare, much less a PPR X.


The thing is the Destroyer is able to take any automatic weapon and turn something already good into something godlike. Like the indra / PPR which on most classes rate them as either just passable or "meh".





My ROE foe either weapon would be to hit a target as far as possible to give myself time to empty a clip and thus killing said boss target. If the target closes in by then, its Piranha volley time.

I had tried the Particle rifle, pre-buff, on my BF3 soldier and thought it was a pos. After reading a post about this combo yesterday morning, I rushed home to respec my destroyer 6/0/6/6/6, equipping Particle Rifle w/clip & AP mods, and warfighter package.

I spent the whole night melting faces ....it was very addictive. 

My PPR is only lvl 1 and I only tried it on silver, but I actually had fun playing MP again.  I did notice that it was most effective against reapers, but still dominated the others.

I need to read the forums more often....
