And stability mod is definitely not needed. But I'm low on Adrenaline Modules and Cyclonic Modulators and I have 200 Stabilization Modules, so why the **** not ?

What else should I use ? Shield Power Cells ? Power Amplifiers ? Power Efficiency Modules ? :?


That's not the point. Your thread title is about the Typhoon not sucking. The trouble is, it does suck without consumables and Soldier class/TGI to beef it up.

Hell i can make an Avenger look decent if i give it a truck load of consumables. Doesn't make it a good gun though.


If you can make the Avenger look anything like the Typhoon does in feneckus's vid, I'd love to see it.

It simply isn't possible.  Now stop making yourself look like a fool.  Of course the Typhoon is only good on shooter classes, that's what its designed for.  Just like the CSMG, Falcon, and Acolyte are designed for casters.

Pffft, do it on Platinum to show how boss Cryo Ammo is. :lol:

Anyway, that setup sounds like fun on bronze, but for maximum lulz use it on something like the Shadow. :wizard:

I was able to get 75 AR kills with the Avenger X on Gold once. Granted it was with the Turian Soldier on a bad team,  but does that count? ^_^

Got 75 sniper kills with a viper once, with a lvl 1 slarian engineer on gold. That counts too right?Image IPB

It needs a buff for its lower levels. It's great at 10, but it's a UR, so not many have it there.

By the way, what equipment were you using?

Just a quick vid about the awesomeness of the Typhoon. For some reason, one guy made a thread calling it a boss killer and everyone made fun of him, which really shows how little most BSNers know about the game. :?

It can one clip every single boss unit in the game, even Possessed Praetorians. Not in the vid because I didn't bump into one but definitely doable. It took 129 bullets to kill a Praetorian with 37575 combined barrier/armor. A possessed one has 50670 so it would take roughly 174. A bit less though because of the gun's mechanics. Also, note how it completely trivializes Praetorians.

Most people said PPR > Typhoon. Some even said the Revenant was superior. :blink: Well, try to do what I did at 1:49 in the video with a PPR/Revenant. I stood my ground and single handedly depleted most of the wave budget in 29s, without moving a single inch. The PPR can't do that since you need to stop firing once in a while. 

BTW, does this look like a gun that needs a buff ? :innocent:


Yes it does need a buff. An accuracy buff.

You're using this gun on a character who gets Accuracy, RoF and Damage Bonus through a permenant skillset. You're also using AP ammo with adds more damage bonus and gives it extra piercing to rip through armor.

Your character's passive abilities also give him one of the highest weapon damage counts in the game next to GI of course and perhaps TGI (AR's) You're also stacking Stability mod III to give it extra accuracy and AR Gear mod V + Extended Barrel V.

Of course the Typhoon is gonna rip sh*t up when you slap on every consumable and non-consumable you can find then hand it to weapon-based class.

Niche build is niche.

Just trying handing the gun to Krogan Soldier or a Salarian Infiltrator without the AP ammo and without the Stability mod. You'll see the gun is quickly reduced to mediocre.

And what's more is that you tested this build on Gold not Platinum. Phantoms and Atlas' don't give you the time of day to sit there and empty a clip or 2 into them. On platinum they shieldgate you in 1 or 2 shots. And possessed Praetorians on Platinum... im not even gonna go there.

 

1st. I doubt Feneckus used a stability mod, either way, the recoil is negligible. 

2nd. Phantoms and Atlases shieldgate you in one shot on Gold as well as Platinum 

3rd. Of course if you take away AP ammo (meaning you do almost no damage to armour) and give it to classes it clearly doesn't synergise with then it will be "mediocre". That's like saying, give the Javelin to a Drellguard with no Phasic ammo on it and it will be mediocre. 

I do want to see it buffed, but the reasons you have given here are poor ones.

The difference between 1 and 10 on the Typhoon is really not that large.

Use the Typhoon on Platinum on any character (excluding TGI, GI, Destroyer, Geth Soldier, Turian Soldier) using only non-consumable mods. You'll see its not that great at all.


Use the Acolyte or Collector SMG on the Destroyer on platinum without any consumables.

You'll see it's not that great at all.



Collector SMG + HVB and Extra Mag is pretty good on Platinum. Can't vouch for the Acolyte though coz i'm not much of a fan of charge up weapons so i hardly use them. Except for maybe GPS coz that things single shots even pack a decent punch.

 

So the CSMG is good on Plat but the Typhoon isn't? :huh::huh::huh:  

Do you expect people to take you seriously? :?

So the Typhoon X, with amps, level 4 AP rounds, on a Destroyer. -_-,

The problem with the Typhoon is that its to heavy, for most kits(CD), and the fact that in order to do proper damage or to use it to its full potential is that you have to be out of cover for a while, which is problem on squishy/soft kits.

Harrier, PPR and Saber out class it IMHO, its still a great gun though.

AP Rounds only give a bonus against armor/health.

See how fast an Atlas' shields or Banshees/phantoms' barrier go down ? :whistle:

Nice video, but I still dislike it because of the ramp-up time. The very first ultra rare weapon I got to level X, and one I hardly use. Sigh.

How dare you use consumables? It's not a fair test unless you use it on a level 1 Human Sentinel with no mods either.

Haha, yeah BSN is probably the only place on the internet where somebody will always drop in just to tell you that since he personally doesn't take advantage of game mechanic xyz, everything you've just said is wrong.

Yes the gun needs a buff. Compare it to a PPR. PPR does more damage, is more accurate and has no recoil and weighs less. Both are the same rarity.

You do need to stop firing once in a while, but a player will almost always kill stuff faster with a PPR than with a Typhoon.


The PPR takes too long to deal significant damage. It would have been problematic here : http://www.youtube.c...NQ0ax7c#t=1m03s for example.

Also, weapons manufactered by Fisher Price are lame.


This... I want to use a gun that looks like a gun, not a gun that looks like super soaker.

 The typhoon is a good gun but it's hard to use effectively. I saw a platinum solo on youtube. He was using the typhoon and the geth plasma shotgun. Here's the link it's pretty cool.

That's the old pre-nerf Typhoon... that's also the video that I feel helped get the weapon nerfed.
