Of course not.

I never really liked the Collector Sniper because I thought you had to rapid fire it like the Predator or Mattock to get the most out of it. If that isn't so then I'll give some of the builds you suggest a shot.

A sniper rifle with a range limit issue, oh the irony:?  Now I'm not hating on this gun or anything, I'm just saying...

Would be nice if this gun didn't have a hipfire penalty like the Kishock.  I'd probably be abusing this thing if that was the case.

hipfire penalty isn't too bad though and it can save you in a pinch. It's also sufficient enough to kill most mooks with ease, so that you only really zoom in for ful DPS against bosses (not recommended)

I don't hate the gun. I hate the scope on it. It at least looks cool when zoomed in though.

Nice thread DH. I'll admit that I have never really liked this gun. It's far from a bad gun but I just don't like its "feel" so to speak. It's not what I look for in a sniper rifle and the PPR does everything better.

I gave it a try yesterday, mainly for completing Retaliation and Sniper challenges.
It worked extremely well on a Turian sentinel with warp ammos.
And now that I know the extended mag doesnt do anything, it should be even better!

I love the CSR. I can't snipe to save my life which means that the likes of the Javelin and Widow are beyond me.

The huntress is my go-to to get any weapon mastery done (you have powers to fall back on if everything goes south).

CSR is just awesome though. It has a small clip size, for sure, but it packs a serious punch. You just need to learn to be disciplined and tap the trigger.

I use it on my Collector Adept along with the CSMG and it is absolutely AMAZING.

When you are firing the CSR full auto, you said it uses 2 ammo per shot. Does it double the damage, or just randomly lose a shot?

[DHKany]

It loses the shot.

[didacuscarr]

I don't like snipers, because I suck with snipers, but I like the CSR on DA and GI.

Bioware please...wtf...

Don't like it, but I still need the points for it. I think it has a Shield, Barrier, and Armor damage multiplier. It seems to do a lot of damage....I spam it, I don't let it go full beam too much.

It uses two units of ammo per shot, similarly to the Hurrdurricane. I guess it's done to make it's ROF seem higher than it actually is, but meh.

On-topic: Good guide, DHK. Was using this gun on Platinum earlier, and it was doing a great job of killing on-host Phantoms.

 Actually it actually is that high (800 RPM), it just uses 2x ammo after the first several rounds are expended for no reason.  Functionally, it makes it kinda like the raptor, except not sucky and you don't have to click as fast as possible.   

[capn233]

Aim at target and click a lot.

Plus I am glad this ancient wisdom is getting discussed.

Does the Thermal Clip gear add to the magazine of the CSR and the other heat-based weapons like the PPR and Lancer? Or does that gear only add to the spare ammo pool of the regular guns?

 The latter.  you're stuck with a 45 round clip at X no matter what.  Well, unless you do some FasterthanFTL magic.

[Merc Mama]

I'll try it, thanks. But I still hate the gun, simply cause I used it on a match last night couldn't contribute much since I kept getting it hissing at me.

My thoughts exactly, releasing the trigger briefly every 1-2 seconds doesn't sound nearly as annoying as button mashing on those guns.

Wish I had read this thread more thoroughly two months ago...

For science, does anyone know how many round it has to fire before it "heats up" and starts using 2 ammo per shot? Also, is it based on time (like the PPR) or rounds fired (like the Typhoon)?

I love the CSR - it's one of my favourite weapons actually. Stick on your Salarian Infiltrator and use Incendiary/AP/Disruptor ammo on it - then spec into Energy Drain (going for damage increases where you can) completely and partially into Proximity Mine; and obviously spec fully into Tactical Cloak with damage increases. Trust me - you will melt your way through pretty much everything on even Gold and Platinum.

Constantly spam Energy Drain on shielded enemies and enemies that can be paralysed temporarily by it and fire Proximity mines at armoured units followed by the CSR - Phantoms, Dragoons, Ravagers... you name it, they will go down surprisingly fast.

I completed the CSR challenge within a couple of Gold matches by using it like this on my SI.
