I've got my shotgun figured out- Typhoon is a beast, thank you DLC- but I'm trying to think of a backup weapon for when I can't charge and need to hurt something.

 

Currently I'm torn between the Harrier, the Phaeson and the Geth Pulse Rifle- all low-weight, all very powerful. 

 

Any suggestions?

Harrier is easily the best of those three, the GPR is ok w/ Incendiary Explosive Burst though due to the high rate of fire and subsequently frequent bursts and glitched stacking.

Typhoon is an Assault rifle...

I'd just use Wraith and no backup. With Smartchoke it it accurate at long range.

Wraith's out of my price range, and I meant the Piranha. Heh, sorry.

Nuts, I went for the Damage boost. Like an idiot.

Piranha is good, but nowhere near Wraith's range. I guess Harrier, or even Mattock makes a nice backup. >.<

No problem, you can respec Shepard's build aboard the Normandy's medical room.

 

I would go for Harrier.

I used Reegar and Lancer. Hardly ever used Lancer though.

The Harrier has a small spare ammo reserve, so if you're going for it, make sure you have a decent SMG. The Punisher with Ultralight Materials and another mod of your preference would do the job. I used that combo in an Adept run, and it was pretty good.

I just use the hurricane with extended mag and heat sink as a secondary. I'd rather not pile on a lot of weight. If I need to hurt something at a distance I'll just use pull and detonate it (or prime with reave if it's an armoured enemy)

Harrier is the best.

Lancer.


What are the best weapon mods for the Lancer? It kicks upward quite a bit, so Recoil Mod and Penetration Mod maybe? Or Damage?

Are we talking about the same gun here? o.O

Always extended mag on infinite ammo guns.

For Shepard the Harrier is TEH BEST AR, period.

For the squad it is the Typhoon, no exceptions.

 

But I'd always use the Hurrican for a Vanguard, maybe with a Carnifex/Paladin as long range backup if you want.

No, not if you're a vanguard. You're shooting in between power use. You'll barely, if ever, empty the lancer completely.

If you need to shoot long range on a vanguard, you're doing something wrong.

Citadel DLC, M7 Lancer is good. Very light.

You're a vanguard... why are you using anything else than shotgun?

 

As already said, Wraith is great choice. If you can't afford it, Eviscerator works great. In a pinch, Scimitar will get you everywhere. All of them allow for 200% bonus on cooldown, which is really worth more to vanguard than any damage boost you can get.

 

If you want to try something else, maybe go with Talon? It's a pistol sized shotgun anyway.

 

But if you have to use assault rifle... Harrier is probably my favourite of the ones you counted, though I personally prefer Mattock.

My vanguard only ever uses the particle rifle (magazine extender and AP mods) with explosive incendiary ammo. Reave as a bonus power for long range damage, priming, and damage resitance.

I like the Mattlock. I use it for the other classes.

Assault Rifle on a Vangaurd? What? Shotgun+Pistol for life yo. If you really want an Assault Rifle use a light one like the Lancer, though tbh, you can carry a lot heavier than that and still maintain a 200% cooldown.

I'm a Vanguard, and I'm using a SMG right now (that when I bother to use any weapon at all besides Novacharging)...any problem?

 

Thing is that I'm also looking for something to fill my main weakness (those damned Cerberus Engineers' turrets). But I wanna keep my 200% Cooldown Bonus. I don't know if to switch to the Wraith or use any lightweight and nice assault rifle. Any ideas? Maybe the Venom shotgun?

 

Am, Insanity difficulty here.

The Mattock or Harrier are generally my weapon of choice. As a Vanguard player, I do like to get up close, but there are some enemies that I typically avoid melee range with, like banshees. I think the Mattock is one of the best for having considerable punch up close as well as being a great ranged weapon.

At lvl X, either gets you the full 200% cool down which is a major plus for me.

I find energy drain to be one of the most useful abilities to equip my vanguard with. It's pretty handy against those turrets.
