Not a nerf thread just a general question. I don't play public often, but I did for the holloween challange and in ten matches it was in each match at least a 1 in 4 and usually more so. It was different groups so it my not be a common thing. I have my favorite guns, but I couldn't imagine using the same gun all the time. can anyone confirm this or anyone have thoughts on this?

[Ledgend1221]

Yeah, mainly due to the other AR's not being too great.

[jacob taylor416]

It is for the type of gun it is; ie. if a player is using a weapon heavy class yhea, chances are he is using a Harrier. If they are using a power class, than probably not.

[fallen_acolyte]

Yup... my first few plat matches always included this formula. Infiltrator + harrier ... every match always those 2

[Arppis]

Because all other AR's suck Donkey Kong. It's the only automatic AR that does enough damage.

Could be because the only other halfway decent AR's (ie Typhoon and PPR) are both extremely heavy and both ramp-up weapons not suited for most classes.

I don't know about that I tend to shy away from the harrier for ammo constraints and I do really well with things like the phestron or mattock.

[himegoto]

Don't find that to be the case.
I have a Harriar X for months now and only use it on my demolisher. Or sometimes my cooldownless KroSent.

I use Harrier on a lot of so-called power classes part of the time. Human Engineer, Quarian Male Engineer, Drell Vanguard, Human Sentinel, Turian Sentinel, Batarian Sentinel for example. It's not even that heavy.

I think Harrier is just quasi-hegemonic across the board. But, I'm uneasy about substantive nerfs just because of what it's always represented--a standard bearer for the AR class, a prestige UR that needs to exist as it is to set a high-water mark for the armory. It's also one of the more well-balanced weapons in the game even leaving that aside though, imo.

Other AR tend to suck or just fit a certain niche that most classes can't use properly. If we want to see more diversity Bioware needs to make some guns that are as good as it while still being versatile as well, Or buff/change the other AR to match it.

[ElementDuck]

I do see it more often than most AR weapons, but I would not, based on my experience, call it overused.

I see a lot of newer players these days, though. Phaestons, Strikers, and other oddities in Gold.

[BACON4BREAKFAST]

I'm using it a lot to push low level characters through U/U/S because I'm grinding for promotions(which I never used to do) and using characters I don't particularly enjoy.

This, they need to make few more actualy good automatic ar's.

[N7Dropout1]

Well they nerfed the typhoon, so the harrier is what you tend to see more of. One rifle has to be the best.

[Manuel La Bor]

I personally wouldn't know as I don't have one yet. But all three of my friends have it at X.

[shanghai lu]

only use on the demolisher...always run out of ammo otherwise..

[lfc19titles]

Due to a lack of top tier guns

as the lord guy said, Typ and Particle require ramp up, how many classes can afford that. On plat, sometimes you won't have time to ramp up to do serious damage without taking a lot. With the harrier, its a quick fire explosive burst.

To be fair, I think the problem is people copy others a lot, for example, yesterday I used the dest for the firs time in ages, I decided to go for earth challenge after doing outsider, to me the gun seemed OP lol, it is a true boss killer, it suffers from a lack of mobility whilst firing but practice could sort that out

also

Saber, as an outsider, this was my go to gun, it is incredible for headshots, stick on an accuracy booster and you have a shotgun like rifle with incredible accuracy

To be fair, the ew gun that came out, Val? the staff member did say, it is like that but bwith less power but more ammo, so I am sure people will switch once they have that lev up

The main problem is the copy cat virus, people use with others use mostly, I kid you, if people made a thread saying X wep is crap, it had tons of replies with other users agreeing, people will stop using it (some at least) despite it not being crap

For example, the destroyer, that gun is incredible, it is a true boss killer, esp with ap ammo 4

[trunglefever]

It's good, but I was rocking my Saber VI last night and was destroying enemies.

[-Tentei-]

Yes, because the only other decent AR is the particle rifle.

[M A F I A]

The Harrier is definitely overused and overrated, many say it's the "best AR in game", yeah but they forget the Saber which is basically a scopeless sniper rifle which hits the enemies like a truck.

[jaytm1]

Nah, so much guns to use for differnt classes. Its optional for me.

Does it matter?

[The Wayward Vagabond]

People use it a lot for the 1337 DPS it has. It's not a very practical gun if you ask me.

[robarcool]

I use it only on one character: classic human soldier. Other than that, I use different weapons on my different characters.

[Mookiemook85]

i dont know why bioware continues to ignore the assault rifles, there are like 3 or 4 pistols and sniper rifles each that outgun like 90% of the AR's in the game with almost every class. the typhoon is the most badass looking gun in the game iMO and its a glorified ****** shooter.
