which smg is best for liara until they eventually add the collector smg which will probably be in omega

[Asch Lavigne]

In my opinion the N7 Hurricane from the Collector's Edition or the Blood Pack SMG from the Firefight DLC. If you don't have either of those then I don't know, maybe someone without either could advise you.

[capn233]

I like the Punisher. Otherwise Hurricane is good, or Hornet.

[Falaxe]

Hornet, it`s up to you what do you want to mount on it. I myself recommend extended barrel and clip enlargement.

[All-a-Mort]

I've been giving her the Geth SMG. No idea if it's any better than Hurricane or Hornet, but it does work nicely with ammo powers. The Punisher looks too hardcore for Liara...just doesn't suit her aesthetically.

[Forst1999]

While I agree that the Punisher looks strange on Liara, it's bonus against armor makes it such a nice weapon against any enemy. But the Hurricane is fine as well and doesn't look so out of place.
I would advise against the Geth MP. As far as I know, it's rate of fire gets higher the longer you shoot, and squadmates prefer to shoot in bursts. Or am I wrong with this?

[Linkforlife]

I like giving her the Tempest, but mostly I like using Liara for her biotics anyway.

[Drayce333]

The best SMG is no SMG. Her best weapon BY FAR is the Acolyte Pistol.

Its just so helpful on her since it strips shields and barriers quickly and stuns the rest. Its also a Asari pistol so it fits her even more.

[Legendairy111]

Punisher is a beast! Hurricane seems good, not sure if it's a coincidence, but she tends to go Rambo and get herself killed with it.

Can anyone confirm that squadmates behave differently with different weapons?

She was crap with it when I gave her it. Is it a situational thing? In the Rachni mission with that terrain she just died all the time.

N7 Hurricane if you have it. Tempest if you don't.
Extended magazine and armor-piercing barrel if you have Leviathan, Extended magazine and advanced Heat Sink if you don't.

Why? Because contrary to popular opinion, ammo mods DO matter for squadmates; they do spend time reloading when their heat sinks overload. And except for the armor piercing barrel, the other SMG mods either do not matter for squadmates or they have too little effect.

I usually go with These. If you don't have C.E. or DLC Pack skip the first two.

1. Bloodpack
2. Hurricane
3. Hornet
4. Tempest
5. Locust

[Loki_344]

So the Hornet is good with Squaddies, eh? I've equipped it on them before and got less than impressive results.

My list is more like this...

1. Bloodpack
2. Hurricane
3. Tempest
.
.
.
4. Geth SMG (Can get decent results from it, but much less so than the first three)
5. Everything else

[Nightmare137]

The Bloodpack Punisher is the strongest smg to give to any squad member, period. It has the highest damage per round and anti-armor capability.

Bloodpack Punisher vs Hurricane - Bloodpack punisher is either equal to or better in every stat comparatively.

Bloodpack Punisher vs Locust - Again stronger or better in every single stat

Bloodpack Punisher vs Tempest - Stronger in every stat except RoF. Tempest fires approximately 50 more rounds per minute however the damage is less than half per round and ends up not making up the difference by a large margin.

Bloodpack Punisher vs Shuriken - The shuriken has almost double the RoF of the bloodpack punisher and weighs less but ultimately the dps still doesnt match up fully.

Bloodpack Punisher vs Hornet - Comes closer than most of the smgs but still no dice. RoFs higher but damage is slightly lower.

Geth Plasma Smg - not extremely effective with it's ramp up time and squad members not sustaining fire too often.

So in this case for Squad members the top 3 from best to worst are:

1) Bloodpack
2) Hurricane
3) Hornet

[Loki_344]

Nightmare, did you actually try all of these guns out to see how they performed in game? Because stats don't mean a whole lot when the AI decides that it wants to fire one burst of 6 rounds every 30 seconds.

Not that I'm saying your list is wrong (I do have doubts about the Hornets ranking however).

[Nightmare137]

Yes I did try them.. It was the first thing I did after which fact I checked the stats. The biggest thing with how often they fire a weapon is the clip size and the availability of targets in their LoS.

[mr_arizona2424]

Liara's ammo power is direct damage so just give her something powerful like the Punisher or quick like the Locust.. If you give her Cryo, incendiary, or disruptor ammo then give her the Hurricane as the chances of the effects happening goes up.

[DJ CAVE SLAVE]

I like to give sqadmates the weapons the weapon best suited to their character, usually by race.
James - N7 Typhoon & N7 Piranha
Ashley - N7 Typhoon & Indra
Liara - Tempest & Acolyte
Garrus - Krysae & Phaeston
EDI - Hornet & Talon
Javik - Particle Rifle & Acolyte (or Scorpion)
Tali - Arc Pistol & Reegar Carbine
Even on Insanity, there's no reason not to just use the guns you like the most, rather than just using the best ones. The game's easy enough to kill enemies with almost powers alone.

It also de-buffs armor like warp, or proxy mine.

[All-a-Mort]

You give Tali the Reegar? But the range on that thing is virtually point blank, at which range Tali is generally toast. When I did that one of two thing happened: She rarely fired or charged into battle and got incapacitated.

[Abraham_uk]

How about giving Liara an N7 Eagle?

I know it's not an SMG, but it fires like one.

i have read a few post in here where you guys placed the extra ammo mag on weapons. you guys do realize that squadies have unlimited ammo, right? giving tgem the extra ammo mod is a waste.

But would there be any advantage over a proper SMG in doing so?

For SMGs its an extended clip and squaddies still have to reload.  So with an extended clip they can fire longer before reloading, its really nice for automative weapons.  However the extra ammo mods on sniper rifles and shotguns are worthless on squaddies.
