It balances well with the Mattock in every capacity except damage. If the Vindicator did the same amount of damage per round as the Mattock, we could talk.

The same problem exists with the Incisor and Raptor too, which also appear to be balanced off of the Mattock (or rather attempted to be).

And the Harrier does exactly the same damage when it is supposed to do less (as it says in the description).

BioWare says they can balance.

I remember using it in a gold PUG 13-14 months ago.

wiped before wave 1 was over.

It's pretty underwhelming, but honestly, I still prefer the Vindicator to either the Argus or the Valkyrie.

I like the incisor, but it has too much recoil to be compensated for on consoles, unless you equip it on a turian and throw stability equipment on.
the raptor just doesn't handle well as a sniper, the only way I found it to be effective, and super effective at that was on a turian soldier, my fingers were bleeding for days after that match.

What?? every weapon in this game is gold viable.. for finger punishing AR's though my fav is the mattock you can even get away with using it on platinum.

[capn233]

The rate of fire is too low, and the min refire is a little too long.

It isn't not gold viable, but there are other guns that are far more viable.

[Muhkida]

Still don't understand why Bioware nerfed this gun...

[Terminator Force]

Yeah, I love this gun too now. Well, after using one of the methods for making the gun have zero recoil (either a turian or stability mod + lvl.1/2 stability consumable).

Wasting a slot for a stability mod instead of a heatsink type mod is not a problem at all since the gun reloads very fast. Same reason why using a stability mod on the Hornet is not a waste as well since that gun reloads instantly too.


Why do I love Vindicator? Cause I love all weapons!... But this one more then average. Plus I've come to the conclusion that using weapons that are too OP like the Hurricane, Harrier, and such UR/too high Rare dps weapons to be only viable for Platinum (the Mattocks high dps is offest & thus balanced cause you have to click it pretty darn fast to get that damage + clicking way too fast plus adjusting aim ain't that easy... why I love the Mattock too, lol). And guns like the Vindicater seem just right for Gold difficulty. ... Vindy also don't require very fast clicks, so I don't know why any complain since they probably can stand the Talon gun clicks, lol. Bias is bias.



Bottom line; I love the variety all weapons provide in this game. Sad not many can't see the same either. Especially those that are way too good at this game to using OP weapons most of the time for Gold.

@ ewhalen's last post;

What? All weapons are Gold viable. Time to get off the insanely overpowered for Gold weapons train. (And to think folks use max consumbles on these OP weapons for Gold too?! ... Lucky for me I avoid these lobbies instantly now too... so probably no more running into BSNers anymore either...)

You clearly didn't read my post. I said it was fine for gold, but that there are also better options (and, hey, if there are, why not use them?)

Also, for the record, I don't have a Harrier, AIU, or N7 Destroyer, my TGI uses an Argus, and I have been known to take a Shuriken, so don't accuse me of being on some sorf of bandwagon.

[DarkFisto]

I have it on my Justicar. It has its good points, the reload time is very quick and with a stability mod its very accurate, however the damage it does is pathetic. I am just using it till I unlock the harrier and I never take it into gold

[Sinapus]

The damage might be lower, but I can hit my targets with it so that's a plus. Some other rifles like the Argus I have to use stability mods and a turian kit to use.

The GPR's headshot multiplier edges the Vindicator out a bit. I may use the Vindi out of stubborness from time to time.

[CrossKaiser]

The Vindicator is my favorite assault rifle on my Turian Sentinel. It's amazing for headshots.

[ROBOTICSUPERMAN]

More vindicator love! MORE!

[T41rdEye]

TSol, extended clip and damage barrel, AP rounds IV,activate marksman, headshots = profit

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

It can be retrofitted into a smoking device.

Instantly more valuable.

Prefer the revenant for that.
Not that the revenant is perfect either.

[OniAngel]

I jump in bronze PuGs with a level one and head shot all the things while leaving the lvl 20s and their harriers in the dust. Though I usualy have more fun with the Viper.

Works well with a Salarian engie with cryo rounds.

[sabreracer]

I once used it on a 0 level VolGod wasn't my best match ever

[Squire Rudi]

Getting the Assault Rifle-sub challenge done with the Vindicator was one of the more miserable chores in my gaming carreer...

[Lyrandori]

It's a great weapon on Bronze, it's "ok" for Silver, but it barely does anything in Gold.

I wouldn't dare trying it on Platinum (future challenge perhaps?).

[OniGanon]

It was... useable... at release.

Power creep quickly left it in the dust though.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I was pleasantly surprised by it when I was grinding the challenge.

I was, however, expecting it to suck, and it turned out to be serviceable - even good on Silver. Not something I would take into Gold unless I had no choice (happened on my PS 3 account, when it was my only uncommon) or I was goofing around.




Also: Vindicator? I hardly know 'er!
(I'll try to try to keep those to one a week, but ya'll keep giving my thread titles that scream for it.)
