If the Typhoon is really so good, why does it feel so underwhelming?

I see a lot of questionable things on BSN, but I gotta say this "Typhoon sucks and needs a buff" myth is definitely in my top 3.

I'm quoting Derek Hollan

We always have to take more in consideration than dps and weight. The combined factors of given weapons (including their passives) are also what gives them their particular niche. The Typhoon, for example, has damage reduction for the player when leaning out of cover. This is something that places it in its own category. This combined with its penetration bonus means the player doesn't need the piercing mod and can use another mod instead. So, while the pure DPS of the Typhoon might not stack up against other ARs, it does have advantages those other weapons do not.


Another proof the devs have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. I guess they completely forgot about the armor damage reduction :? And how it's a bigger deal on the Typhoon than on any other weapon ....


so who do we trust >< devs or our fellow testers ? this is getting confusing when i was sure the typhoon giving DR had been our imagination


Definitely not the imagination at work lol.  GPSMG leaning out of cover, a nemesis took me to 1/4 Shield.  Using a Typhoon leaning out of cover a nemesis took me to 1/2 shield.  I never really noticed it before until I just tried it.

Put it on a Turian Sent, get awesome damage and stability passive, spec warp for exposure and power amplification with tech armor. Shred enemies. I usually don't top scoreboards but have consistently with this guy.
