Agreed. I use the PPR on my destroyer as the main weapon at all times. Cryo ammo is great as is disruptor

[Rifneno]

Please stop hyping the PPR guys. People are getting the wrong idea. I just saw a shadow in a gold lobby with a PPR 1 and a stability mod. I died a little inside.

[Cthulu_Cuddler]

Well I guess they're gonna learn how NOT to use that gun pretty quick then huh

[FlowCytometry]

I use it on my heavy weapons Krogan on Plat farms cause ammo is a PITA on that difficulty sometimes, he can afford to take some return fire, and there's plenty of large bullet-sinks to hit (or packs of lesser mobs moving together). Its quite good w/ the right mods, and entertaining to use. Fire from cover all day erryday, and nice thing w/ the spec is that usually by the time I need to refill the thing I'd want to restore my shield/shield gate anyways.

I wouldn't use the PR on most classes, and its not a good 'on the go' weapon since it relies on cover and a rev time heavily, but it sure is nice if you find the right niche w/ it.

How many people have a particle rifle X? Not many

Unlocked the ppr and i like the destroyer again

[OmegaDestroyer]

I just got mine up to II yesterday. I've had great success with the weapon my destroyer. It does need an ammo power to really make it shine though.

[Stritt57]

I seriously don't understand you people on bsn...

I agree with the op that the ppr is great with the destroyer, but it doesn't have to be used exclusively with him or some other tank...

I use my ppr I with pierce and mag all the time on a salarian engineer. It does wonders on platinum. Energy drain set for shield and damage resistance and a decoy and you can shoot that thing all day.

Now back to the destroyer. Why does everyone load him up and make the recharge rate go way negative when using the ppr? If you keep your recharge rate near 0, then if you overheat the ppr you can just turn off dev mode and wait for 2-3 seconds and turn it back on. Voila you are back in business instead of waiting for the 5 second weapon cooldown.

The ppr is deadly even at lvl I in the right hands.

[OmegaDestroyer]

The trick is to not let it overheat. Just stop firing, wait for it to recharge, and continue firing.

[Stritt57]

Quote isn't working on smart phone...

Most of the time I do stop between 5-15, but if there is a lot going on or I'm not paying attention then it does happen.

It happens to everyone (if you claim you never overheat it then you're full of crap!). It may only be once or twice a match, but if it does happen at the wrong time it can be deadly to you or your teammates.

I'll stop reading right now... That's just to much bragging

Well, the clip size now goes up with weapon level, and this is why I wrote it. Anyway all I can say is good for you

[Pensrule1985]

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.

Tried Warp Ammo vs Incendiary Ammo vs Reapers with my HSo.  Incendiary does in fact melt everything faster, due to the stacking DOT.  Not only this, but Incendiary Ammo also has the benefit of causing panic to unprotected organics, and things will still die after you're done shooting.  A few times with Warp Ammo, I ran out of ammo and left a target with 1 bar of health or armor.  Very annoying.

I had presumed the 50% armor weakening + the 35% straight damage bonus would somehow allow Warp Ammo to surpass the DPS with Incendiary.  Now I know better.

How do you like it?

[Joe1962]

Sounds great. I figured the particle rifle would be great on my destroyer.

I'll try it once I level mine up some. It's only level I at the moment.

[Pedactor]

Terrible against Mooks.

Piranha fills the exact same niche against bosses. I still disagree. PPR is junk. Ramp up kills you.

[Immortal Strife]

I prefer PPR and TC, just TC when the ray becomes maxed.

What are you saying? Melts them to the ground in 3 secs if you point your glorious laser beam at them

On bronze?  What?

Oh you have an X, so your uncharged beam works.  So the PPR is great against mooks at X.  LOL.

I have it at II.  It's terrible against mooks and the charge up leaves you out of cover and on top of that, rotten-egg reload animation of 3 seconds.

Ramp-up needs halved, base damage doubled, multiplier at 2x.

Boom, great gun.  Still has crap range and ridiculously long reload of doom, but I'll take that tradeoff.

I am still very "meh" about this gun. I gave it another shot on a solo round and then just quit because it was getting on my nerves.
