Just got the gun from a com pack and ran a few gold runs vs cerberus/geth on various maps. Gota say I was pretty unimpressed. Used lvl 3 AR amps and lvl 3 incindiary amo on a Tsol/TGI to try and boost the damage up as high as I could, but the thing felt really weak even when scoring regular headshots.

dont even get me started on bosses, I pretty much relegated myself to killing mooks and then helping the team with the bosses when the low lvl stuff was dead. Pretty sure I could do better with just about any other AR except the avenger and vindicator.

So am I missing something? some other class combo that actually makes the gun worth using?

[Kalas Magnus]

It is my favorite gun.

I prefer the gi-Valkyrie.

[Wardreamer]

It's like a Vindicator, except it doesn't suck.

I don't care for burst fire weapons though, so I don't use it much.

whats with all the hate for the Vindicator?

and on another note, i havent used it yet, too busy using my more used others

[TheGreatDayne]

Well, I finally have it. I still haven't used it. I did use it in singleplayer, and all I was thinking was, "Man! This is one of those guns I'm going to suck with!" So, yeah, I don't hate it. I just have no idea how to use it effectively.

I currently think it's a piece of crap, and if the DPS charts are any indication, I will never like it better than the Harrier, nor any number of superior weapons. Like the Eagle, the best I can say is that I think it's okay, but unlike the Eagle, it's not a light caster weapon.

My Valkyrie is level 2, I like it. It performs great on Silver and it's decent on Gold. I expect it to be excellent choice for Gold once it's at level 10. It staggers enemies heavily, and that's more important than the DPS. Combine it with a Demolisher and you're in for a very strong set up. It's in my top 3 ARs.

It's horrible.

Mainly because I don't have it yet.

[Deathjam]

Got mine at IV. At level one I liked it but could see how it struggles on gold. Now at IV, you can clearly see a difference. Let's see how long the store keeps giving me what I actually want.

[Raralith]

I got it too from the com pack, sticking with the Harrier.

[Tonymac]

I would say it is trash. It takes up a slot that could have been for a good gun.

Even in SP at level 10 it sucked.

That Mattoack walks all over it - and so does a Phaeston.

[Zaidra]

Good in singleplayer, bad in multiplayer.

Needs a damage boost.

Anybody who says it needs a weight buff, no, the Valkyrie is supposed to be a heavy high damage weapon, not a light low-damage one. Screw off, because that's not how the valkyrie is in singleplayer.

I think Valkyrie = Mattock

This seems about right to me.  After using my valkyrie 2, I'd guess that at X the valkyrie will be about as effective as the mattock X

[Daihannya]

I liked it in single player. But it is still way to low at 2 given the rest of my guns. So unless I want to do the assault rifle challenge or I want to goof off there is no good reason for me to carry it.

I share this same exact thought. It's a buffed vindicator. 

I used it with stability  and AP mod on my engineer for the operation. I was surprised at how often a enemies head would just explode even though I wasn't really focusing on headshots. It makes me wonder how much potential it could have with a scope. 

I don't care for burst fire weapons, either. Especially on an assualt rifle. Burst fire should be optional, fire in bursts to maintain accuracy, not a mandatory way to use a gun. Feels weird to me. 

EDIT: Actually, thinking back on it, I forgot that my engineer was level 1 so I was playing bronze earlier. With that in mind, while I am still impressed with its effortless headshots, I cannot say the damage was decent. Indeed it might be, but I don't feel comfortable calling it good, damage wise, based on the experiece of a bronze game. I might try it later on silver and gold to see how it holds up.

the gun has very little recoil that I could notice. And yea almost any gun will be fine on bronze, anything over silver though and you will need III-IV consumables. I wouldnt even consider bringing this into plat. but yea even with lvl 3 consumables and on a good weapon class (Tsol, TGI) the valkyrie was hardly usable. Even the collector AR or Argus are better then this.

I really like it. Gonna wait to level it up, though... then can say more - have it at lvl1, so yeah... But even on lvl1 on Silver it's a really good weapon without any equipment. Didn't try it on Gold, but then I should use equipment and ammo on it. Still... it's really good so far and as far as I've heard it will rock on later levels.

Ah really? INVADERONE used Valkyrie I on Platinum and he rocked.
And seriously, Argus and Collector AR are far worse, even at later levels.

Just got it, completely unimpressed. Switched to an Eagle, things went down much faster!

Maybe it'll get better when it's nearer X...

Weapon was good at level I in sp, where in mp on the same difficulty level it sucks... I think they screwed with the damage. It really needs a damage buff.

It's a poor man's Harrier.
In other words if you don't have the harrier you should use this one.

[Ubergrog]

It will never be as good as lvl x weapons until itself is lvl x... remember this.

[jacob taylor416]

Needs to be lighter.
