I believe that lag might have something to do with it. I put it on my Destroyer on Platinum when it was level four and I was hosting and did ok ( extended clip, EB, AP ammo 4, ar 3 rail ). Tried it last night on platinum on Destroyer off-host ( and it is now level six ) and it was horrible vs armor ( even with AP4 ammo ) and I could not wait for the match to complete.

Honestly, I do not have any of the UR weapons maxed out yet, but at this point I really am not interested because they don't appear to be any better in any way than the other UR we have.

It is useful for keeping phantoms dodging and making dragoons slow down so that my teammates could kill them, but against an atlas it took forever when I tried to take one out by myself with the spitfire.

It does great damage against defenses and health.

But it does nothing against armored targets. You'll spend an entire clip (10 - 20 seconds to empty a clip) just taking down one banshee.

Yeah. I only have it at 2. I had such high. Hopes for it, it looks great and really beefy but it just doesn't do the damage.


I have a Spitfire X.

Let's just say I'm less than amused.


All the dlc guns are underwhelming at X  Spitfire and Adas were most disapointing two.  Typhoon X is lighter and kills faster.  I agree buff its damage and or or lower the weight.

Don't do it.  I DC'd on wave 9 using Meg's suggestion and I blame him for it.

We had a guy using it on the Q marksman with AP ammo and mod and he was a boss killer. It was kind of funny cause he wasthe slowest guy on the team and we had a buggy using the same gun.

I was using PPR X on my collector and he was keeping pace with me damage wise.

The best weapon for any class is still the GPS, and the Juggernaut is not exempted from its uses.

Every weapon is good on a class with Marksman or the GI though.

And his keeping up with a Collector using a PPR X is unimpressive to me since the Collector is not a weapon class and does crap weapon damage unless you ignore all of his power damage bonuses. My Geth Juggernaut using the same weapon does similar damage (more damage if you're using power damage on the Collector) but is pretty much immune to stagger and doesn't have to stop firing every time a Phantom looks in his general direction.

My collector was specced out of power damage so I could see how the PPR would do on it. He liked it on the marksman cause of the ammo capacity. He was firing for the entire waves without reloading. It started out as a joke just but it worked out pretty well. It doesn't seem any weaker than the typhoon aside from the piercing.

Actually, it doesnt. What you percieve is merely a sound effect and unnecessarly high screen jarring. If you observe the ammo counter or the tracers, the rate of fire is nothing out of the ordinary, which is very foolish considering that it is a multibarreled gun and so it should have a much higher fire rate and/or a much higher damage. Right now it doesnt even deserve a rare status, let alone ultrarare.


Well that's pretty stupid.

The fact that you're comparing the heaviest weapon in the game with AP ammo and the AP mod on a dedicated weapon class to a Particle Rifle on a caster built for weapon damage is probably the best argument I've seen in this thread for buffing the weapon.

Any serious weapon damage build would blow your Collector PPR X novelty build out of the water.

All of the new URs other than the Lancer need serious help.


^ This.

I'm actually disappointed when I see one of the new URs appear :pinched:, apart from the Lancer of course.

Wouldn't it be interesting if, instead of a damage buff, they buffed the RoF to the high heavens? I mean, it seems to me that would make sense: Spitfire is essentially a minigun...
I'm talking about emptying that huge clip in about the same time the Harrier drops it's 20 bullets...Image IPB

Okay, maybe not that much... But still, it should have the highest RoF out of ALL weapons in the game.

Seriously.

It's like the Geth version of the Typhoon, only worse. You would think a gun that's heavier than the Javelin and slows down movement speed would pretty much own everything else in the AR category but the only thing the Spitfire has going for it is spare ammo and clip size.


Correct.

We will be buffing the Spitfire next week, but it definitely isn't as bad as some people in this thread believe.
