After testing it on multiple playstyles. I can say that some of the criticism it recieves is unjust. However, that isn't to say that it is a good weapon.

After thorough use on silver and gold matches, it appears to be mediocre at best. While I didn't expect it to compete with Harriers, its just a little bit bad for what it is.

First point is it's weight. It's a 2.0-1.4 setup, which makes it heavier than most other weapons and (bar the typhoon) the heaviest AR in the game.
Then the damage, this is the only remotely admirable part of it. One shot is pretty damn painful, and overall it's actual damage per burst is decent.
However, this is let down by a terribly long refire time, resulting in that amazing damage being lost.
Next up is recoil. The weapon is like the hornet in terms of kick, except it also makes your second shot run away. You'd be lucky to get two consecutive headshots at mid-range WITH a recoil dampener

Is Argus the punishment of the last ops failure?

The main goal of this weapon is to slow down the unlocking of better equipment I suppose. I can't receive good rare / ultrarare weapon unlocks because every time I receive this useless piece of junk from PSPs.

Faster you unlock the thing, the better.

The argus is actually a good gun on a turian, more or less this weapon is fun if you get a C-Sec themed Match going. (Human,Asari,Turian, and salarian)

It doesn't even work on Human Soldier on Silver that well.

HA HAH AHHA HHAHHA HA HA....  a punishment,  now I can see that now comming to pass.   You guys get ready for the tin foil boat fly destroyer.  Worst gun in history made by the Vorcha to take out salarian boat flies from 3 feet away!:o

Used an Argus X for a while yesterday with a Destroyer and Turian Soldier (on gold). Best I can say is that it was kind of fun to use on mooks. Against anything meaty I was better off just spamming prox mines or multi-frags (including the time to run back and pick up grenades). I will never use it on any other class, and, barring a hugemongous buff, won't bother using it on them either.

Lower that things weight, in campaign its as light a revenant, but in multiplayer they lowered the revenant's weight so they should do the same for the Argus. Second, its to slow for a fast pace game so decrease the time in-between each 3 shot burst a little. Other from that, its an okay AR.

Got it, tried it- back to the Harrier, thanks. Argus kicks like a mule and doesn't do enough damage to justify the weight or difficulty in controlling it. Slow reloading too, so yeah, there are many better guns out there.

Took up 10 of the last 12 PSP rare+ slots, with 1 ammo iv and a rare gear. Not had an ultra rare drop in the last 12 packs and still have loads of rare and uncommon gear yet to receive, yet I'm getting lots of "rare" ammo/armour. Please fix the "randomness" of this or, as previously suggested, offer a new pack with higher chance of ultra rates at a higher credit cost i.e. no cash payment option. Any opinions?

Right, bought 4 psp packs since it came out, and only got ammo and weapon mod upgrades. No weapons of any kind. Got a PSN 20€ card as a gift, was going to buy some packs, but for ammo and mods, forget it.

Bought a psp yesterday, got argus 1 and 2.

Not really disapointed with the gun, I actually enjoy it. have it in campaign thanks to the leviathan dlc as well. So I'll give out my thanks to bioware for throwing it into MP. I know not many people like it, but hey, I don't mind it, so thank you(:

Yeah, pretty much every downside the gun can have, and none of the perks.  I'd even wager it's currently the least useful assault rifle from the entire AR lineup.

Just tested it.

The Argus is a Vindicator that shoots slower, weighs like triple, and has twice the recoil.

Vindicator is better in almost every way other than damage per bullet.

Just tried it on platinum with a Turian Soldier. It really doesn't do enough damage even with headshots. I would go for just more extra damage in order to distinguish it from the Vindicator. Also needs more accuracy. Don't make it do absolutely ridiculous amounts of damage but only be accurate with a Turian or Geth, because then you just get more problems.

It is a pretty lame AR. Its way to heavy for the damage it does. I like the 3 shot burst but the accuracy sucks.

i can say good things about argus. since it's available in the store i got more UR weapon upgrades than before. weeks passed since i've got the last UR upgrade, now i have a +1 scoprion, javelin, talon in a couple of consecutive PSP... :D

anyway, i tried argus X on my krogan sentinel (stab.damp. and onmi blade). it's nothing good but nothing bad either. i use ARs on krogan sentinel only for the melee damage bonus (omin blade looks cool) and between two melee moves i shoot some bullets into the target...from hipfire and close combat, it did its job but nothing significant.
i like its sound.

I'm thinking the devs are really trying to push this thing out. Since unlocking it about a week ago, I've already leveled it up to around 5 or 6 (lost count).

Still stuck on level 2 with my Harrier. I'd trade the whole Argus unlock for just another level up on the Harrier. Just saying.

+1 Easily. Even at lvl X, the Argus isn't worth the simple effectiveness of the Harrier at probably any level.

weighs too much for what it is, but it isn't bad. I imagine it'll receive some love from the balancing god though
