The Typhoon is still good post nerf, but, there are better options. I still enjoy using it on occasion though.


* I would use it more if it was not glitches on the Turian Soldier when playing off-host... Don't believe me? Try it, I double dog dare you.

We call you lots of things.  Elitist is just one of the few that gets past the censors.

its ok.

I agree OP, the Typhoon ain't bad, even after the nerf. It isn't as effective as other weapons and like others have mentioned, it's overshadowed by the PPR, which basically fills the same niche that the Typhoon should fill but better.

[Devix]

In general, it is a good gun.
For most classes, it is not recommended.
For my Destroyer, I have titled it Old Painless.

[Major Durza]

Built for the destroyer, inferior to the PPR
Good, yes. Where it needs to be, no.

And the mechanics are funky.

[kmmd60]

It's another niche weapon that only work with certain class, typical UR design from BW. Good on destroyer due to stun resistance but plains useful on classes/builds which don't care about CD. However, I still see the forum outrage as a natural phenomenon. However, the fact that the official thought on typhoon was created meant BW was not sure which direction to move. Asking for public opinion was a good move.

A bit rant skip it if you don't want to read.

PPR, which I still fail to get one, got a very minor damage boost and a magazine buff. Suddenly, the opinion about the gun changed from " the PPR is crap" into "PPR is better than Typhoon".

Just like the weekly balance change, Forumers were pretty vocal about no more change to the gun and this week, guess what, no gun change! Suddenly, there's multiple thread created about how this week balance change is bad because there's no change to the gun.

Typhoon is obsolete for pretty much everything but the Destroyer. A class should not make the gun. A gun should make the gun.

I don't think ppl were saying Typhoon was nerfed into oblivion, but rather it's been nerfed hard enough that it's not worth using on most classes other than Destroyer.

And the PPR owns it almost every way.  A gun that, one minor buff ago, was the laughing stock of BSN.

But seriously not worth trying to explain to this guy.  He's got a piranha 1 and no acolyte.  To say he got lucky to get a typhoon is a colossal understatement.  Guy probably plays an hour a week and thinks UR's drop like candy.  My manifest was more impressive than his before I got my first UR.  2 ranks of GPS, a gun that's been out since launch.  No.  Not worth talking about the balance of UR's to people that play that little.

Wow, you are a Grade-A ****** dude. This has got to be the most inflammatory post I've seen on here in the last month. You come on to BSN to talk **** to another player for not playing the game as much as you? Who the **** do you think you are?

I believe what he was trying to say, albeit in a somewhat abrasive tone, is that the OP lacks a certain perspective that playing longer/more would provide. Specifically the frustration that would come from grinding out so many credits and hours and finally getting a "good" UR AR with a big clip, and then having that AR be hamstrung within the first two weeks of its existence. I think that's what he was going for.

more or less this

[DHKany]

It's buggy that's what.
Tried it at a friends and it performed a lot worse than it should have with the 1.5x multiplier vs everything.

I am not using full lvl 3 or 4 EQUPMENT just to make an crappy gun do good again.

What glitch? I use it on the Turian Soldier when I do feel like using it and I've never had any problems.

And yea, the PPR makes the Typhoon redundant. I only use it because I like the feeling of shooting a machine gun.

stability mod and the EB

Isn't it's stability in Devastator Mode so close to 0 that the mod is pointless?

And doesn't it's low damage per bullet make AR better?

He is someone who thinks that if you have no clue of what you're talking about you have no business making threads - at least if you want to be taken seriously. And I agree with him, maybe the forums would be a better place without ignorant people trying to impress others with their ignorance.

Devastator mode doesn't give a stability bonus. Only turians have that ability.

This statement is why the typhoon isn't fine. If there are better options, then it isn't that good to begin with.

Excellent point. Goes for other guns as well. Here is an idea: UR weaponry should be tested for viability on Platinum -- without mods or special ammo and then buffed or nerfed accordingly. Usage of special ammo should be a choice, not a necessity. 

Two pennies worth. 

[P51Mus7ang]

I personally feel it is made to be a boss killer, thus mainly a weapon for Plat, I quite often play CQB and the risk is simply too high with the Typhoon compared to many other weapons available. For me it`s nice to have but it`s an Ultra Rare ocassion that I use it, shorten the ramp up and that might change.

[sareth_65536]

No sense to use typhoon if you have at least level 1 harrier or ppr

[himegoto]

In other news,
The Typhoon is not worth using nowadays.

Funny thing is, that Destroyer is only class I don't like to use the gun on.

Because of the muzle climb. Human Soldier is actualy pretty good with it, only VS. Geth it kinda sucks.

It sort of does. Accuracy bonus 25%.

But in no way is stability close to 0. OP doesnt seem to have enough experience on the game for the statement in the thread.

If you havent spec point into it you are beyond help.

But he enjoys using it, so it's fine in his hands. It's statement that's valid as this is all opinion based.
