Spare ammo/HVB.

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?

It actually works like the Shotgun's HVB.  It gives you weight in exchange for both damage and piercing.  The Javelin has innate piercing anyway so I would go with the Extended Barrell and Spare ammo if I didn't have the HVB.

Spare ammo+EB, or Spare Ammo+HVB.

Use Drill for maximum lulz.

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

Shoot through all the things!

Yeah, but that spare ammo :/

[TheKillerAngel]

I go Piercing and HVB for MAXIMUM WALLHAX. Has me constantly running for ammo though.

Phasic Rounds.

Drill allows you to shoot through the map 

I use Drill rounds on my GI Javelin Wallbanger build, but I use Phasic rounds on my SI and QFI sniper builds.

That's what the extra running speed on Hunter Mode is for >_>

My go-to setup for the Javelin:

Thermal Scope
HVB
Phasic Rounds

Don't knock it until you've tried it:wizard:

Thermal scope on a gun that already sees through walls?

Wat.

Try phasic rounds on the reegar brah

[BadDad67]

I can't find it right now, but I believe there is a cap at 90% damage bypass for enemy armor, no matter what mods/ammo. Don't think there is a cap on wall thickness.

Feel free to correct if wrong (obviously).

Yup! Thermal Scope is way better. The tracking of the in-built wallhack is unreliable at best. When you apply the Thermal Scope you'll see enemies phasing from purple to red indicating when the in-built scope fails to deliver. The Thermal Scope is just.. better in every single way. 

Now all Snipers can have a better wallhack than the Javelin. The Javelin advantage decreased dramatically the day it was released. 
Solution: put the damn thing on the Javelin too:wizard:.

Javelin changes from red to purple too. it's just every now and then it lies.

I've never seen that! 

You sure you weren't using a Geth? lol.

You don't have to use a Geth.  The Javelin's scope does show a different cover for enemies behind cover if you can hit them.  It also updates if you add more cover penetration distance.

[galaxygrunt]

I run HVB and extended ammo.

That being said, a dev posted somewhere that the cover piercing effects of HVB, AP mod, and any innate piercing stack. Sooooo...if you absolutely want to be able to shoot through a deuce-and-a-half....

Just fyi (assuming I'm not misremembering)
