Everybody has one. What's that weapon that, when you pick it up, go 'Why don't more people use this?', and why?

I have to put up the Arc Pistol as my #1. It wrecks absolutely everything on any kit, yet I don't think I've ever seen a random with it, and a fair number of BSNers use it only sparingly. The CSR with Incendiary Ammo also will melt basically anything when fired like a Mattock.

What are you taking about? Most of BSN considers the Arc pistol to be seconded only to the Talon.

I use Arc Pistol every time I play.

CSR with incen ammo is certified cheese as well.

Yep, don't know why OP considers it 'under rated' Mine would be the N7 Valkryie

Incisor. With Disruptor rounds, it gets headshots quite easily; has a generous amount of reserve ammo; the recoil is easily controlled (even without a stability mod); and it's a lot of fun to use.

I see the Arc Pistol threads, yes, but I very very rarely actually see anybody use it. Though that IS on PS3...

[Knockingbr4in]

I use it 90% of the time..

The N7 eagle. Seriously.

It used to be trash, but after a bunch of buffs it's become a vicious little thing, with a great weight-effectiveness ratio.

I don't use it as a primary, but it's great as a back-up.

Obviously the hurricane's better as a lightweight back-up, but that's more a case of the hurricane being awesome than the eagle being bad.

BSN is a very small portion of the player base. BSN's opinons aren't always reflected in the playerbase as a whole, and vice versa.

A wild generalization appeared.

But...I thought no one else mattered but BSNers?

Arc Pistol is not underrated it is a great mook killer but is a chore to use against armored bosses, that is why most people prefer something else over it. If anything it is slightly overrated.

Seriously, it's a pocket harrier.

Hornet.

I understand why people don't use it if they have any of the UR SMGs, but it has much, much crappier reputation than it deserves. It has great accuracy and it outdamages all of the rare assault rifles except Revenant - you just need to be able to handle that recoil.

While everyone claims they believe the Mattock is a good gun, I basically never see anybody use it - PUGS or BSNers - save for me.

So, that's mine. I use it to kill basically everything except for Praetorians. It can get reeeeeally tedious taking those out with it, so if I PUG with my Turian Sentinel, I take my Hurricane X to deal with them should I fall into a Collector match. But otherwise, I'll leave my Hurricane in its holster and use my Mattock to kill All The Things. Largely with fire explosions, too, but Mattock is a good dang gun if you have a fast and durable trigger finger.

Mattock is widely considered to be the best uncommon, but is strenuous under extended use. It clear how good the Mattock is by seeing that removing its primary weakness created the Harrier, which a lot consider the best AR period. Then again by that same logic, why use the Mattock when you have the Harrier for any other sake than to claim variety.

There are some kits where I run the Harrier, yes.

I really can't explain the why or the how, but I do prefer the Mattock on my Turian Sentinel and a few other kits. But mostly the former. I have run a Harrier on my TSent before, but went back to the Mattock.

Not for the sake of claiming variety. Just feels better to me (which is totally subjective, I know) and I ****** through less ammo with the Mattock.

Lower weight (especially when comparing mattock X vs harrier I), better ammo reserves, ability to control recoil and ammo consumption by varying the RoF manually.

If only it didn't cause finger cramps if used for more than 2 games in succession...

I used it almost all the time before the challenge system came in. Since then it and the Saber are the only assault rifles that have contributed to every Assault Rifle Mastery that I've earned. I suppose that despite this in a way I don't actually use it that much anymore, partially because it's so easy to complete its challenge.

The N7 Valiant. I very rarely see anyone run with this gun. I've got it paired up with a Salarian Infiltrator. Thanks to the fast cooldown, rapid reload, and no recoil, it works well with the SI's Energy Drain and Proximity Mine.

I use this build on Platinum and I am capable of topping the scoreboard (not trying to show off, just showing that this build is viable and highly effective thanks to the N7 Valiant)

CSR is pretty underrated. Also, Executioneer for #1.
