Apart from host dependency, why do so few people use the Graal?

Pretty much the lag. Nothing's worse than charging up and lining up the perfect headshot only to hear it clang on the wall behind your target.

It's just been outpaced now and due to the projectile nature, it can be faulty. I used to used the Graal constantly, but there isn't much reason with better additions that are lighter and more reliable, or ones that do more damage on the whole, boss enemies included.

Dat sound though.

I disagree about the boss killing. Against Collectors it is very good. It kind of sucks against Atlases for some reason but it's pretty good against Banshees.


I haven't tried it on Collectors, but the long Atlas kill time is what sticks out in my mind the most. I assume armor is armor, but who knows with this game. The Graal/Hurricane combo is versatile and can handle pretty much any situation, it just weighs more than I'd like.

No other reason, but when I am hosting I always use Graal. It is amazing.

I love it.

I would kill for an AR version.

Edit: It syngerizes very well with Talon. Don't need to host with it then.

Atlas thing is weird, it shreds Scions and Brutes...maybe it is the Shields? Well, nothing is perfect.

Whilst ME3 projectiles visually are not the same as their actual in game trajectory, they will be terrible to use except when hosting.

Talon is the kit too use this weapon with IMHO. Haven't missed a shot with him yet and I never host.....therefore it's not the guns fault most can't aim

It's not the wraith or claymoar so I never touch the thing. Occasionally I'll use the crusader or raider.

It's 'cause you know how to compensate for the lag or whatever it is. I use it on my Talon as well and sometimes I'll know where to aim and when to not to. It kind of has the same problem as the Crusader.
Anyway, it's very different from the Geth Plasma Shotgun because its shots don't track, so you're less likely to hit something with it. Whenever I get surprised by an enemy it's kind of hard to hit them because they're too close and always moving. But even then I use it because I get tired of using the same shotguns (Claymore, Pirahna, Wraith). It's also one of the best long range shotguns.

If I hosted more consistently, I would definitely use it more.

You dont need to aim the Graal when using the Talon.
Charge Graal > heavy melee + realease Graal charge at same time.

Lag is the sole reason I don't use it often.

Though I also dislike not having cover penetration.

Apart from host dependency? Maybe because it cant pierce cover? That's a slight annoyance. Pretty great weapon all round but there are more great shotguns than any other weapon type so it has stiffer competition.


^That.  I like my shotguns to be able to pierce, especially if I have a wallhack on.

I like it on my DV. Sadly it's one of those weapons that if you are off-host...forget about it.

I used it last night and the BSN vets I was playing with had no idea what those "spike thingys" were that were sticking out of the Banshee. If that doesn't tell you how little it is used, I'm not sure what else could.

I was off-host BTW. Doesn't bother me, and I only use it on kits with a power capable of knocking Guardian shields to the side, so that isn't an issue either.

I myself never had a problem with the gun. Guardians never were a problem, as long as you can aim properly.

I just am a Claymore/Raider/Wraith fan

Personally, I'm too impatient to be a fan of most charge weapons.
