I`ll just use Lancer.
Thank you.

Eagle > Lancer

What is this?  I don't even....

My Eagle is at X, Lancer is at I.  Eagle does more damage and allows for a better cool down than the Lancer.  If I had it at X, perhaps my opinion would be different.

Ah.  Next time, precede with that disclaimer.

And when you get your Lancer even to just IV, your opinion will most definitely have changed by then.

Originally it was terrible; I couldn't be sure if it was doing anything. The bad guys just seemed to ignore it and carry on with their mission.

Now it is my sidearm of choice. I default it with light-weight materials and piercing and this gives a viable cooldown for those who need it, and it provides acurate longer range damage for those who have short range primary weapons. Rate of fire is good enough to replace smg options.

[tetsutsuru]

Its accuracy could use a buff though. I have it at X, and its spray pattern is still a bit too clumsy (wide).

Any caster can make great use of this gun. Specially biotics. That warp ammo! Mmm!

[Omnifarious Nef]

I've always liked the Eagle, it's just the slight recoil that I don't like.

Really good on the N7 Shadow.  Light weight, decent ammo capacity, full-auto, AND you can attach a Melee Stunner (unlike SMGs).

ugh. use it on the marksman. I think the recoil is equal to the old Hurricane. It just fires slower.

I guess I'm a hipster because I always liked the eagle (I actually haven't used it since the buff and I've leveled it a bit since the last time I did. For casters in particular, it was great for applying ammo powers to prime with. I was totally my goto weapon for my human engi back in the day. THere are better weapons but it has its place and it's a pretty awesome place it has.

I've always like the Eagle, even before it was ever buffed. It was never terrible. It was never the greatest, but far from the worst.

 

 you hipsters make me laugh. It was absolute garbage and needed like 4 buffs to make it decent. 

 Still garbage in my opinion when you compare it to the various other options you have for caster weapons. 

 

It's okay now. Good fire rate, okay damage, great clip, very low weight. 

It's a better Assault Rifle now than any of the Assault Rifles (except the UR's).

[HeroicMass]

one of my favorite weapons. I finally received an eagle upgrade in a pack today after 4 months of weekend operations without an eagle. Only one more upgrade to go before I ascend to the top of the Eagle mountain.

[GroverA125]

Once the Budgie, now the Buzzard, never the Eagle.

Still, makes a mess of people when you strap it on a Turian Soldier.

I don't find the Eagle stellar, but it's definitely decent. But that said, the Hurricane is stellar.

The Hurricane eats up the little guys quite well, but then so does everything.  The true test of an all-around weapon (not counting shield strippers like the Acolyte) is how effective they are against armor.  Granted, with the HV barrel, the Hurricane will do decent damage to Brutes/Scions, etc., but the Eagle does more, with less recoil and more ammo capacity.  I'm talking Gold/Platinum, where your survival depends on how quickly you can take down the boss units.

Not sure where you're getting this from.  The Hurricane does much better damage to armor than the Eagle.

It's always been good at it's job. It's the only fully auto pistol. Sure you could do the same thing with an SMG but there used to be mods & gear for pistols that had benefits for powers based characters.

[capn233]

Fear the mighty Eagle!

I have an X. It works well on the Turian Soldier (no, not every weapon does).

But yes, it needed a lot of help because at release it was not very good.

The Wraith at release was decent when leveled, but kept getting buffed for no apparent reason because everyone thought it was terrible.

[tutzdes]

Actually it's now one of favorite weapons for TSol. I still remember the days when it was total garbage. I got my Eagle I, TSol, chose silver and found myself on the wave 2 of Gold FBWG (yes, this old one). I ended up using only proxies all the match as Eagle was absolutely, completely useless.

At that time there were no casters' mods, there was only one barrel mod and not the cool one. There was absolutely no reason to take it over just anything. When the cool mods were implemented Eagle has already been buffed.

Currently it's completely different weapon. More than twice as efficient.

[Ziegrif]

I love the Eagle.
Always have.
Always will.

[CosmicBuffalo]

We shall see...  I'll have to compare the numbers side-by-side, but I'm feeling like it will be a close race.  The Eagle and Lancer are eerily similar, rates of fire, damage, clip size, accuracy, stability, etc.

The infinite ammo may give the Lancer the edge in some cases, but the Eagle reloads incredibly fast, and has a very  large ammo reserve.  Also, the pistol attachments are better than the assault rifle ones.

I'll get back to you.

The Eagle has a higher damage per bullet, therefore it is inherently better than the Hurricane vs armor.  Not sure where you're getting THAT from.  Enlighten me.  

It's amazing to me how much I've played this game, and yet still I've missed a bunch of the little quirks...

[Clips7]

This is to only be used as a sidearm correct? It's how i've always used it..tho i love how it's like a mini SMG or AR...with a few mods on it, it'll do decent damage as well...

[ToLazy4Name]

Eagle is a very good gun. With a Heavy Barrel, it only does 10 less damage than a Harrier of equal level with an Extended Barrel.

All wield the Weapon of Destruction as their Primary, when I play them.

Though Talon is awesome as well.

Eagle X + broken heavy barrel + power amplifier = casters euphoria.
of course i carry another weapon with high armor mitigation for heavy bosses

+1...again.

If I am using the Eagle as my primary, the Hurricane is my second..

+200% Power Regen on a Caster?  Can't beat that.

The Eagle does ~21 damage less per shot and fires 200 RPM slower.  It puts out a bit over 700 DPS vs. the Hurricane's nearly 1300 w/ higher damage per shot.
