My favourite pistol, excellent for headshotting mooks, although I usually play silver or bronze, and only have a Paladin III

[BACON4BREAKFAST]

because they increased the weight and its a pile of garbage? yeah, no wonder no-one uses it.

[Uchimura]

Because the people who've been playing for a long time now have other options, in terms of higher level URs or new DLC weapons and classes.

[Dr. Tim Whatley]

I stopped using it once I got a Paladin IV I think. There's definitely no point using it now my Paladin is maxed.

[DJ CAVE SLAVE]

Carnifex is the perfect weapon for a casting class, after the nerf it became irrelevant. I really wish they would reduce its weight, at least a little bit.
Edit: Not a fan of the Paladin. Mag size is too small, because I prefer using piercing mods for my pistols so I can use disruptor or incendiary ammo.

i still use it...just like i use the majority of the guns...

[Mondhase]

It's still my favorite pistol by far, but I guess the reason you don't see it so often atm is that people are doing the challenges and are actually trying different stuff. Carnifex was one of the first challenges I completed and I haven't used it since, even though I love it.

[SlayerGP]

I still love it on biotics. The Paladin weighs more and has a crap ammo capacity compared to the Carnifex.

[UWxMaserati]

I used nothing but the Carnifex for a long time. You only see less of it because of all the added weapons and buffs to previously POS weapons. It's still a legit gun though, packs a punch, good clip size, very accurate, if you are good at aiming for heads its still pretty awesome. But like I said with all the new weapons they added and buffs to old weapons it's just one of many viable options.

[Shrakelle]

Wait, what's a carnifex?

The paladin makes a better psuedo sniper. The talon, acolyte, and scorpion are better for anything else.

I guess you could call it the viper effect; why use the viper if you have a valiant?

Because it's way lighter and better for groups of Mooks?

[Starquake]

I never cared much for the Carnifex. I don't like the slow rate of fire.

It's a type of Tyranid. Big giant thing, armored like a tank, scythe claws that can pierce steel.

[UnknownMercenary]

It's still good, but I would never carry only the Carnifex anymore.

I got a Paladin I in one of my psps, coincidentally my Carnifex X ceased to exist.

Isn't Paladin I worse than Carnifex X? I thought it gets better around IV or V.

Indeed. Someone is doing it wrong. Made me lol.

Prefer the Arc at the moment.

Carnifex X OR Talon VI OR Paladin VI...

The Carnifex became obsolete to me when I got the Pally levelled up. It has much better punch so my casters don't have to spend so much time out of safety unloading umpteen shots onto targets with the Carny. Besides, cooldown isn't nearly as important as performance.

^this

maybe I'm missing something, but why are people complaining about the weight?  a lot of casters take rank 4 passive for weight capacity/power, and at X the carnifex winds up giving a cooldown of 190%.... how is that "too heavy" considering casters can effectively opperate at lower cooldown %s?

[Hyperglide]

Carnifex is probably still one of my fave pistols. Since I've got the Talon and my Paladin leveled up it's not as frequent that I use it. Also the Acolyte is so awesome that the Carnifex gets subbed out a lot for the Acolyte too.

It's great for headshots on mooks though on Bronze and Silver. Very accurate, packs a wallop, and it's still light even with the recent nerf.

It's good that no one talks about it. That means it's a well balanced pistol.

[whalewhisker]

Carniflex is still good, although the weight increase makes it more unattractive to classes that I've skipped passives on. And then there's the Acolyte, which perfect and weighs nothing.

Because then why use it? If you have a higher leveled Paladin/Scorpion/Talon and hell even a Hurricane, then you're better off using one of those with ULM.

[uzivatel]

I use it on some sentinels, but for the most part I replaced it with other weapons such as Paladin or Viper.

[doozerdude]

palladin...

[tatski]

Acolyte is just too good to pass up... It is essentially Overload in weapon form.. Very good against bosses when using weapon or biotic based kits...

The only Pistol that is worthy to replace it is the Talon IMO..

I prefer a Hurricane w/stability mod. Although I was never a huge Paladin fan, preferred the Phalanx.

Weight? My biotic god uses the Viper - I do have a Valiant.

Like any other gun that is called useless now because nerfs or w/e, put it on a GI with a bunch of consumables and be happy.

Then start putting it on other characters and watch it grow on you. With the Carnifex, I like to use the scope because lol console version.
On PC it's way better for headshots. But if you have a Paladin X, then
there's really no point to use a Carnifex anymore, other than
challenges.

Explain.

Attachable scopes are kind of overpowered in the PC version, because their intended unwieldiness compared to actual sniper rifles is nil, due to somewhat sloppy sensitivity programming.
(Similar reasons as to why the sniper rifle is OP in Halo PC games)
