Can't stand seeing rounds come from the left side of the scope.  That,  and I don't take consumables into account
when putting together a base  loadout. If I used consumables on a regular basis, I would eventually  run out, and therefore have to rely on this base loadout of mine. Hence, why I don't take them into account.

About the only use I've found for is on the Havoc to finish off anything left alive after a Havoc Strike. It's spread is actually helpful for this since it's hard to see what's still alive and what's not.

Strike
Hold down Revenant trigger
Rotate back and forth 180 degrees
Profit.

The Revenant is not bad, but there are much better weapons. It is absolutely nothing compared to its ME2 brother, though. That gun was like the Harrier with ammo when you put Jack's warp ammo on it.



Man I miss that thing. Dunno why they nerfed the Rev so much for ME3 when the Widow and the Claymore are still great.


They didn't specifically nerf the Revenant from its ME2 version.
Of the full-auto Assault Rifles, it's in the top three.
Assault Rifles and SMGs in general took a big hit with the changes to how weapons work from ME2 to ME3, with the Revenant being hit hardest and leaving pistols, shotguns and sniper rifles being the better options.
That, and the (re)introduction of weapon levels and weapon mods have left Assault Rifles and SMGs (full-auto and burst-fire) in the wake of the other weapons, with a few exceptions -> Harrier & Hurricane (an UR and commendation pack weapon). Pretty much the rest of the full-auto and burst-fire weapons have been left in a wanting state.

Hurricane I vs Revenant X

Damage -
Hurricane: 108
Revenant: 80

Weight -
Hurricane: .85
Revenant: 1.25

Reload Time –
Hurricane: 1.5s
Revenant: 2.9s

Accuracy –
Hurricane: 35
Revenant: 15

Clip Size –
Hurricane: 40
Revenant: 60

At level 1, the Hurricane is lighter, deals more damage, and is more accurate than the Revenant X. Its only drawbacks are the greater recoil and smaller clip size, but because of the Revenant’s long reload time, you’ll actually fire more bullets over time with the Hurricane.


Post of mine from another topic, but it gets the point across:

For pure dps output, of course the Hurricane trumps the Rev. But for  people like me who appreciate ammo efficiency, the Rev is more  appealing. Two rounds from the Rev will do more damage than a single  Hurricane shot (which consumes two ammo per shot for those rare  individuals who don't know). The Rev also comes with significantly more  ammo than the Hurricane, meaning the Rev will have done more damage than the Hurricane when all ammo has been expended (not likely to happen,  but it can, so it does matter).

If by skill you mean perfectly cloak, proxy, shoot cycle and aim for the head... yeah I got that part covered...

It's just not good enough compared to literally 20+ different options.


Revenant on gi can fire for 8 consecutive seconds, that are 3 stacks of the prox with together 3 1.5 seconds of 80% boost bursts

No other weapon is capable to dish out so much damage unbroken over time

Ontop, combined with piercing abilities from ammo or piercing mod/barrel you can easily mow down every mook, getting easy killstreaks. Ontop you can kill an prime in a single clip, how does that define a **** weapon?


You've got to be a troll. There's no way I'm wasting other breath on a troll/someone who really needs to learn how to play this game. And I don't say that often.

If it takes longer for the Revenant to deliver the same amount of ammo as the Hurricane, I'd consider it less ammo efficient.

Or am I misunderstanding you?

 Needs a damage buff and accuracy increase. 

I agree with you, currently it is terrible. (for a rare)

LOL!

She certainly doesn't need to "L2P" at all.... she just loves the Revenant and is very condescending towards anyone who doesn't.

She really doesn't. Phoenix is one of the best players I've played with-- and I've been in lobbies with Stentron. Just saying.

If you can't use it on Turians, then you are beyond hopeless. The Revenant kicks ass when used correctly.

i used it on my destroyer, put the recoil dampener or whatever is called on the weapon, barrage upgrade gear and it should be easier to handle

-.-'

I take your words on that of course. I didn't think someone saying certain things and thus obviously not understanding what is important when killing things in this game could be a good player as well. Looks like I was wrong.

... Or she might just been having fun trolling. :happy:

I've been working on the Assault Rifle mastery and the Revenant has been the most painful so far. Even weapons that do less damage like Falcon and Striker at least serve a function and pair well with multiple builds without tons of equipment. I'll take the accuracy and range of a Phaeston or Collector Rifle any day over the raw damage output and spread of the Revenant.

I did end up using the TSol to finish the challenge, so add me to the list of people that think that's one of the best ways to use the gun.

Seems to work better with marksmen and other accuracy builds... but it just feels like I'm trying to fire from a jackhammer. Skipped it for AR challenge.

Only usable on the Turian Soldier IMO



Fixed.


The downtime between Marksman cooldowns :sick:




Are you people insane? There is no Cooldown!


Use a Turian Soldier. Invest in Marksman: 1,2,3, Accuracy, Headshots, and recharge.
For his Veteran Training: 1,2,3, Damage & Stability, headshots, Damage & Stability

Take a Revenant and add: Extended magazines and a basic armor piercing mod.



Go into the game, pick a nice spot with a view of a crowded hallway and remember to check back to this thread and thank me later. Fire a few bullets, then switch on Marksman.

Unless you get shot at, YOU NEVER NEED STOP FIRING WITH THIS BUILD! At the exact same moment you need to reload, marksman goes off cooldown and you can reuse it. This automatically reloads your revenant and you never have to take your finger off the trigger. There is no reloading or waiting for a cooldown.

Even better, thanks to both the Turian's innate accuracy and that of Marksman, the Revenant is Extremely accurate at any range. I always extract with at least 20 headshot medals.

EVEN BETTER, the rate of fire and damage output is so intense, that almost anything staggers. If it doesn't stagger, it's dead. Smaller infantry will roll out of the way, you'll tear through ravagers, Banshees and Pretorians recoil and lose their ability to warp around, while Geth Primes and Scions flinch and allow you free shots.



Don't know what your problem is...

The Revenant should be the perfect spray 'n pray weapon, but it's only at it's best when being used by an N7 Soldier (he gets +57% native weapon damage bonus before even using equipment).

Which isn't saying much considering that there are better weapons out there that can produce better results without needing the N7 soldier's massive native weapon bonus. (The Asari Justicar can kick major ass with the particle rifle.)

Yeah. GI, TSol, Quarksman etc. I get, but some people here are advocating it on the Ghost or the HSol...Posted Image

The touchpad can deal just fine with stability. Spread is beyond its magical powers.

I'm afraid you are. The Hurricane has massive dps potential, but it comes at the price of consuming two rounds per shot (and hefty recoil, but the Rev has that problem too). The Revenant, while not dealing damage as quickly, will deal more with two rounds than the Hurricane will with one. It amounts to getting more bang for your buck essentially, since the Rev has more total ammo (really, Bioware should have just cut the mag size and spare ammo for the Hurricane in half since that aspect of it is meaningless, gameplay wise. 'cept of course when you're dealing with the Hurrican'es reload bug <_<).

My Krogan Sentinel made great use of it. I love the high capacity of bullets but I do stick a piercing mod and magazine increase. I love it personally.

The Rev is awesome! It just got a huge ammo nerf and looks like a Cerberus Mattock.

Nah, but really its only good on Marksman classes, Ghost, Havoc, and Destroyer. It absolutely sucks outside of them.

But if the Rev fires a second shot then the Hurricane would've as well. I don't know which one fires faster since I haven't used the Rev since June.

You're referring to dps output though. I'm talking about ammo efficiency (bang for your buck).
