I'm finally getting around to trying out my Geth Infiltrator, and, of course, I'm using the Javelin with him to make use of his damage bonus for Geth weapons.

I'm using the extended barrel and the armour piercing mod, right now. I know the Javelin has innate piercing, but I wasn't sure about the armour negating for an easier time taking down Primes, Brutes, etc.

So, what mods do you think are most useful on it?

I use extended barrel and spare thermal clips. Slap on AP, Drill, or Warp Ammo and you're good.

[Lokiwithrope]

Thermal Clip and Extended Barrel definitely.

[Drakios8]

High Velocity Barrel and extra rounds

[Jay_Hoxtatron]

Spare ammo+EB, or Spare Ammo+HVB.

Use Drill for maximum lulz.

[Airealite]

The extra rounds from Thermal Clip would be useful, I admit, but I guess I'm mostly wondering if the armour piercing mod truly makes a difference for bosses, and such

Ah, you should be able to answer my question. I don't have the HVB for the sniper rifle, but I'm assuming it works like the HVB for the assault rifle, and just acts as an improvement to the armour piercing mod...With added weight, of course.

Since I don't have the HVB, would the regular armour piercing mod be acceptable?

Clip and HVB if you don't care about weight.

I don't have the HVB for the sniper rifle, unfortunately...

You can shoot through more cover but lose some damage when shooting through cover.

Regular piercing mod is acceptable, but teh HVB is preferable since it adds 25% extra damage (as much as the HCB does) as well as more piercing than the piercing mod.

Alright, thanks. Hopefully I'll get the HVB sometime soon so my GI can really shine

The sniper HVB is superior - it also adds 15-25% damage, completely replacing the other damage barrel.

EDIT - Scooped!

Armor DR is only -50. Which is nothing compared to the damage that deals the Javelin. (Between 1200 and 1500 IIRC)

Piercind mod is only useful for the penetration distance. But the HVB is better, if you don't mind the +50 weight.

Phasic Rounds.

I don't have the HVB, just yet...But, truly? The piercing mod doesn't make a decent difference for bosses?

EDIT - If it really doesn't make much of a difference for bosses, then I guess the Thermal Clip mod would be better, you'd be able to get more rounds downwind...

Yeah, piercing mod always was lackluster on the Jav. Even more now with Drill ammo and HVB.

Alright, thanks for the help, guys  I guess I'll go with the extended barrel and the extra rounds, and just slap an ammo mod on it now and then

Jay... can you OSK with Body shots on shielded mooks using Drill Rounds? That's the biggest advantage to the Phasic rounds IMO...

If the term 'body shot' does not compute... I'll understand : )

No, maximum lulz is HVB+AP+Drill rounds.

Shoot through all the things!

Ah, yes "Body shots". I have dismissed that claim.


But yeah, I think you can't bodyshot shielded mooks with Drill Rounds.
