Mine just levelled to VI last night. I used it back when I had it at I, and while it was a lot of fun, it wasn't very effective. I'd like to take it out for a spin again and see if it's better now that I've improved it a bit.

Only problem is that I'm not sure which kit to use it with as a primary weapon. Which kit(s) do you like it on, and why?

[Rasputin17]

Infiltraitor of course. Or any class that can take use of the Ammo Mods being AOE. So a class with an AOE Detonate skill like Incinerate could work well.

Except that Scorpion doesn't apply AOE ammo.

Scorpion is a staggering machine. Everyone benefits from that.

[Xaijin]

Scorpion goes with everything.

It especially goes with power classes or the Destroyer.

So, is it a glitch? I was told multiple times back when I made a similar thread that the weapon would give me AOE cryo ammo or incidinary.

Use it on any class which is in need of a bit of survivability in close quarter. Like a sniper infiltrator.

[Shyde01]

Use the scorpion on the Fury 6/6/6/0/6. Staggers phantoms and dragoons between BEs. Minces anything else.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

It is a spinfusor, damn it.

1) Use it on the higher difficulties. Staggers the crap out of everything.
2) Will freeze/fire the target you hit with the sticky-fusor.
3) Mine the hell out of spawns. It's a beautiful thing.
4) Lead enemies and let them walk into it, don't always try to "apply the tag."

Great gun, a favorite of mine on an Engineer.

I use it on my Geth Trooper Melee build. I have IV. Shoot a couple rounds to stagger a group, run in, melee, flame anyone left, melee again if necessary. I don't use HM during this of course, just to look around corners. It's fun on silver without [consumable] equipment [I would use stronghold V], and effective depending on your team.

Not sure if it is a glitch, but it has only ever applied ammo powers when it sticks to a target.

Working as intended...


I like to use the scorpion as a sidearm on the demolisher. Arc grenade to stun, scorpion rounds at their feet, repeat as necessary. Maybe throw in a homing grenade somewhere too.

[Rasputin17]

I think Demolisher, Geth Trooper, GI make the most sense.

I swear at one time people used to say it gave AOE ammo powers.

Or maybe you're just talking out of your ass, and making excuses to shift the blame now that you know you're wrong.

... Again.

Haha wow you are a child. Keep it coming, show everyone who you really are.

Great gun.

Also use it on a caster and infiltrator -as noted by others. 
Volus is great with it as well. 

[WMcAlister]

My Geth Engineer loved it. Infiltrators of course turn it into a monster. Any class that tries very hard to keep out of arms reach is suitable.

[MuKen]

MQI can fire scorpion twice from cloak, and still cancel the cloak with tac scan with good timing, causing it to reload for free when the clip runs out. Because of the reduced cloak cycling time, cloak damage will be up 100% of the time, along with constant area scans showing your team the layout of the field.

I have mine at VII and I love it. Any kit that lacks a crowd control/stagger power will benefit from it. I've been using Scorpion with Claymore on my flamerless Geth Trooper to great success on Gold. Scorpion makes short work of Dragoon/Phantoms/Group of Husks/Abominations. Keep shooting on the floor. Choke points and hallways (i.e. Dagger Tower) are best to carpet-mine with Scorpion.

I like to use it on my infiltrators as an emergency close range weapon. Despite the fact that I am an excellent marksman since I specialize in long range combat in every game I play that allows it, I for the life of me cannot hit the broad side of a barn when hip firing or quick scoping at close range.

It's fantastic for taking care of mobs hiding behind cover since the AOE blast will either kill them outright, or knock them from cover.

[whalewhisker]

I love it on Justicar, Human Engineer, and Demolisher.

[SterlingPhoenix]

I use it on any caster I have.

I also use it as a side-arm for my FQI, in addition to whatever sniper rifle I'm using at the time. VERY useful on Platinum when those @#$%^& phantoms start ganging up on you. Sabotage->Scorpion. Try hiding now you jerk.

It's an awesome weapon in general. One of the most entertaining games I ever played landed me in a Gold with three people all using the Scorpion. They rolled around the map in circles as a group and... just... splatter everywhere, it was glorious. I could barely find anything to kill.

I also particularly like it on a shield-boost Volus. Better RoF and reload than the Acolyte, makes fitting shot cycles in between shield spam much easier.
