I have completed all gun challenges except for Sniper Rifles.  I just slogged through the Collector Sniper Rifle challenge and found it not only is the worst gun I've used - it's acutally aggravating.

- With the reticle on the target, scoping in brings the sights high AND left.  This makes itting any target smaller than a Scion difficult

- If you make the fatal mistake of using the entire clip, the reload time is ~6 seconds during which you cannot do ANYTHING else.  If you do, have to do something else- like take cover, or move out of cover, lucky you!  You get to start that 6 seconds all over again!

This gun needs a serious overhaul to be even remotely playable.

Not to mention the ridiculous range, if I remember... (yes, I don't use this, you know)

For the challenge, when weapons are unplayable, I use silver or bronze.

[N7-RedFox]

I used it like a Raptor. Tap tap tap tap tap on the trigger. Never hold it down. But yeah, even doing it that way, its still a crap weapon which i haven't used in months

Use burst to prevent empting the clip...using the clip mod also helps.

My group plays gold on occasion but this is mostly on silver.

OP the CSR has a very high learning curve.
1st fan the trigger like it is a single shot weapon, this will help you control the clip and not over heat
2nd unlike other Sniper rifles CSR has no hip fire penalty.

i typically throw this on a salarian infiltrator and play it more like an assault rifle than a sniper rifle

[LoneWolf3905]

Gave it to my human soldier. AR laughs at those 6 seconds. I only used it for the challenge.

Well, I used it destroyer with Warp/Inferno ammo, HVB and Scope and I'd say it was fine. Headshots can kill mooks quckly and it deals OK damage to bosses too. BUT you have to burst fire because you don't want the clip to be empty. The only ridicilous thing is range... So you gotta use it like a more powerfull PPR

[HolyAvenger]

You should use it on a caster, that way the ammo will never run out.

I did a gold solo with it on a Huntress. I quite like it. The secret to it is to burst fire it like a Mattock.

Wrong. The Kishock has no hipfire penalty, CSR just has one of the lower ones (20% I think).

Actually the Kishock is the only one without.
It's got a small hipfire penalty, though.

My guess is that it's the people saying the CSR is crap. 

The good tips have already been given in  this thread, burst fire it, don't let it run out of ammo and don't use it on a Drell.

It's a great gun.

If you think the CSR is a crap weapon you are clearly doing it wrong. It's ridiculously good.

A few facts:
- If you hold down the trigger the rifle will start using more ammo per shot while not doing more damage (unlike the particle rifle). THIS IS A BAD THING SO DON'T DO IT.
- Instead use rapid tap fire, like you would with a mattock. That way you get way more damage out of the clip without giving up anything.
- Extra thermal clip mod does not work on the CSR, you dont have any to begin with.
- Use velocitly barrel and AP mod to circumvent any damage reduction and gain sizeable cover penetration instead.
- Avoid using up the clip completely, it's never worth it.

If you do all this the CSR is the highest DPS sniper rife available, easily beating even the black widow. On an infiltrator you can melt gold ravagers and brutes in sub 3 seconds with it.
Oh and beacuse of its high DPS it is also quite effective when hipfired, despite the 25% penalty. It's better than most assault rifles that way.

lol indeed.
One of the most powerful weapons in the game.

[MaxBoss]

I used it on a SI with TC specced for max damage. I found it to be good. You've got to burst fire it. The only thing I don't like is the excessive magnification power of the scope.
Burst fire is the key.

[Timesitheus]

It doesn't suck, its incredibly powerful weapon if used correctly. Most important thing you have to remember is that you have to tap fire it like Raptor. And to get around the high zoom you can quickscope: look at the target, zoom in, shoot, zoom out and repeat for another target. Don't just zoom in and then try to find a target because thats not very effective.

I don't find the range to be a problem because maps in ME3 are not very big anyway.

I found this gun pretty beasty. Using short bursts, it was melting everything(literally).

[Charaxan]

Tap, I do. But if I want to tap, why using this one instead of an other rifle ? What is the argument to take it out of the closet ?

[Jay_Hoxtatron]

Hahaha.

Because it does more damage than your other rifle, thats why.

[HolyAvenger]

I get OP's frustration though. Till someone told me about burst-firing it, I also thought it was woeful.

Just try that OP. It'll change your mind completely.

[Jaded4Chaos]

Great gun when you realize how you're supposed to use it. Tap the trigger while hip firing when close and watch them melt.
