No one uses the Viper because it's terrible.

 

It's the only SR that is irredeemably bad.

 

 

Personally, I use...

Mantis- never really, but it's useable on the GE or HE

Raptor- Backup to Talon on HSent

Incisor- TSent

Widow- QMI

Kishock- never, I have too much lag

Krysae- SI

CSR- ACA

Indra- QMS

BW- Destroyer

Javelin- Juggernaut

Valiant- AA

I use all sniper rifles because I absolutely love sniping and they're my favourite weapon class. I try to show some love to all the rifles (yes...even the viper and raptor) and try to make the most out of each one, but admittedly some do get more love than others.

I'd love to try the... one with 6 shots... viper? some more... but...

 

It feels lacking in oomph and the shots feel.... weird/laggy as opposed to the BW which is.... well snappy.

just don't use it like a black widow, use it like a phalanx/mattock

If you are good at landing headshots, try it on a marksman build.

I actually think SRs have good variety and a lot of them are worth using regularly.

 

It's probably the class of weapons with the least paperweight status options. Although for Raptor to avoid that status I need a firing macro on.

Without warp ammo the former setup would be useless; without being on the second most OP infiltrator so would the latter.

 

The Viper is trash.

I suck @ sniping, but I'll pull out the Widow every now and then, it's pretty much all I snipe with. So much BOOM  :D  :devil:

I can't stand the optics on the snipers. I never use them. Instead, I use the scoped arc pistol or executioner pistol. The pistol scope is superb, the damage is comparable, reloads are usually faster, and weight is less.

well the claymore is terrible for sniping, then you can equip it to the tsol and its incredible for sniping. so your comment doesn't really hold weight.

it maybe trash normally, but with warp ammo and with tc, this weapon wipes away mooks quickly with ease. give it a try

Trying to rekindle my instincts with the Kishock. Fell out of practice with it once and it is difficult to get back. Aside from the Javelin, the M-98 is my go-to. Much prefer it to the Black Widow. And now that I understand the Collector Sniper Rifle, it is goddamn deadly.

Well I can't speak for others, but here's my reasons:

 

1. It has DPS comparable to an Avenger.

 

2. It's a cruel mockery of its ME2 namesake.

 

3. I have a Valiant X.

kishock is loads of fun to use. i still like the viper too even if it isn't the most powerful of the sniper rifles. the indra doesn't get as much appreciation that it should.

Takes a bit of time to get the rhythm of the Viper but when you do you will find it rather serviceable ..  Works best IMO on characters with shield/barrier removal powers ( overload, energy drain,arc grenade, ..) . Back when I used it extensively found it difficult to switch to something like the Valiant (works on the same 1 head shot 1 kill principle)  but lacks the delay between shots that allowed me for extra aiming time with the Viper ..

The Valiant is an excellent caster weapon, and the Kishok is very fun and effective on host.

IMHO the Sniper Rifle pool is the best of all the weapons as almost all are pretty good and well balanced.

I use almost all of them (except the Collector SR which I hate with a passion  :angry:, and the Kisshook which is just too slow for me ).

 

  1. BW - My go-to SR for most situations
  2. Incisor - Love using this on Geth, just for a change, but it really needs to be on a character with innate stability.
  3. Valiant - The Castor Sniper, for mixed snipe and power characters
  4. Krysae - So Hillarious it should be illegal. Use it on Reapers and send goo everywhere.
  5. Jav - I'm not brilliant with this lump of iron, but do surprisingly well on the rare times I do use it.
  6. Viper - Just about Gold viable - best used on the slow moving Geth.
  7. Mantis - I do still slum it in Silver from time to time, and I enjoy taking this old friend for a spin.

Unfortunately I see no point to the Widow once I got the Black Widow.  I also never use the Indra, as although it's fun, I find that being scoped-in for that long often results in a little lady ninja stabbing me in the back  :o

I still use the Widow for fun, sometimes. In many ways, the Valiant is still a favourite, although I almost never use it, anymore.

 

I have an Indra X, now, so I should use that for something. I just haven't, yet.

 

I almost threw the Viper on my Justicar the other day. I think I will, just to see how it goes.

 

The Sniper Rifle with the soul of an Assault Rifle. I wanted one SO BAD....until I got it.

I love using the Mantis, Viper, etc until getting pretty good with them then swapping to the Valiant, Widow, or BW and just wrecking face with them.

This is how i recently played him for the mantis points...for plat i used power amp 4, that should be good enough to strip almost all mooks ( geth hunter, pyro and possessed collectors survive but HS would kill them ) shields completely off ....leave the FQI for the javelin as you are using phasic/disruptor anyway and she has no shield stripping power


Dont u loose the piercing (at no cost) ability of drill rounds with both piercing mod ? I dont remember how this work :)

I hate the Krysae, but often use the Vaillant, Widow and Indra! :)

I don't own the BW yet! :angry:
