Hey guys.

I'm looking for an advice how to use Javelin. I find it very frustrating gun to use due to the firing delay. Is there a certain way I should be playing with it?
Also, your comments/reviews about the Javelin would be nice too.

Lead your enemy a little bit that way by the time it shoots you'll hit. Takes some practice but its worth the time to get used to it. You can also shoot through most objects use that to your advantage.

[Archie-Scott]

I'd suggest hitting, does more damage than missing.

In all seriousness, I use the Sala Infil for shield drain stun then headshot them!

The gun was made for abusing HM wallhack. Take the GI, spec extended range on HM and shoot through multiple walls. A body shot will kill most mooks and a head shot will 1 shot a gold phantom. Also does terrific damage against atlases.

Playing a class with a stunning power is very helpful. Salarian, female quarian, turian ghost infiltrators come to mind.
But even if you don't you get kinda used to that after a while.

Lead your enemy if they are moving and practice with it. Best infiltrator sniper rifle in the game. Combine with phasic rounds (will still 1 shot most shielded mooks on gold even without the rounds) and wreck all the things.

One shot a brute on gold? Yep it does that.

Play more, learn, energy drain helps!

One of, if not most powerful sniper rifles, especially on Geth Infiltrator.

Today I tried it on TGI - it's pure awesomeness.

One bar is left from headshot.

Just keep aiming at the head until the enemy is hit. The projectile does not have a delay, it just takes a split second to charge up. But you should use it to shoot enemies through cover and heavier units, leave the ones moving in the open to the rest of your team.

It's the most powerful single shot sniper rifle in the game, and melts through everything, Just need to get used to how it fires.

[Ledgend1221]

Use it on the GI, watch as things die.

How was javi made to abuse HM? We had javi way be4 we got geth HM,besides giving the wall most high powered rifles with mods can do the same thing with HM

Lead your shots, dont get over confident with it, and dont rush out of cover for a quick scope, because missing is vary likely.

Even with ammo/rail? I'll admit I haven't used it since the brute armor fix.

A body shot with Warp IV and all possible weapon damage bonuses was a one shot kill before the armor buff

I use it on my salarian infiltrator and I use energy drain before shooting to stun and set up my shot.

[ndw542]

I tend to use it with a character that can briefly stun smaller targets (SI with ED, GE with Overload, etc.). Just stopping tagets for a fraction of a second will generally be enough to overcome the firing delay.

As with all high-damage single-shot weapons, you'll only get the maximum effect out of it if you can reload cancel consistently.

A high-level Javelin (I'm fortunate enough to have it maxed) in the hands of a halfway competent user is a beast beyond compare; its only real rival for DSP output is a top-notch Claymore Infiltrator. While a good Claymore user can still deal significant damage at range, the spread will cause an unavoidable dropoff when shooting cross-map, the Javelin sacrifices no damage at any range other than knife-fight. I generally carry a sidearm for those circumstances -- if I'm using an Infiltrator and weight is not an issue, I'll go with the Talon; on a GE or other build sensitive to weight restrictions, an ULM Acolyte is a good choice.

Afaik even with those. On a more relevant note, if using the Javelin yeah you want to go for heavies, things such as brutes, ravagers and whatnot.

I love it, but also hate it. The slight delay drives me crazy. But using it properly that gun can one shot most humanoid enemies even through walls. I use the High Velocity Barrel V on it, and Phasic rounds. High velocity is used for armor penetration, phasic to get rid of shields. You can use drill rounds if you want to go through multiple walls.

I was doing the sniper challenge, I actually respeced my GI for pure sniper damage, and geth weapons passive. I used hunter mode to see targets through walls, and then lined them up in the scope. In 3 gold games, I got the 200K required challenge points for the Javelin in machine mastery.

[ZoM_Head]

I got used to the firing delay.

Now i can not use the other rifles.....

[Archonsg]

I used it with the new Thermal Stabilization scope + new hyper velocity barrel and put it on my ML Destroyer. - 200% cd? Don't care. Mook staggers / roll due to ML, great, makes for predictable head shot leads.

On the plus side, using the new scope REPLACES the default scope which I hate to a more efficient, cleaner scope that picjs up even stealthed mooks (Phantoms / hunters) and paints them as so many corpses that don't know the are dead yet.

Still can't beat the Indra for my favorite gun but its right up there along with the Particle Rifle and Piranha.
