SMGs. I've actually always hated the hurricane on anything besides the turian soldier. Unfortunately it was always one of the best option for casters and I had it at a high level early. BPP is the same as hurricane except slightly worse against shields and slightly better vs armor. CSMG is just kinda boring.

[mysilentgas]

SMG hands down not much to pick from and they are weak or really op......I like most of the pistols and long rifles that's because I hunt with both now bioware how 'bout getting us a bow in the next one yeah I know omni-bow more like omni-bolt to me...

[cronshaw]

Judged by number of level 3 amps?
SMGs

[Terminator Force]

I'm actually shocked that AR even got mentioned a few times. And no, their not poor, everything else far too OP. AR is just right.

 

 

I don't know. There's no evidence to support your claim other than an experience you heard. Therefore, I cannot accept that new players hate shotguns.
 
Still, I personally hate sniper rifles since there is no long range combat in the game that would be ideal for sniper rifles alone. As such I view them as superfluous and as a means to not use the amps of other weapons for a while since scoping in on a swarmer over a phantom can be troubling due to auto-aim.

 

No, I heard it more then once, personal experience, and see it a lot too. ie. the AIU with anything but a shotgun is something I see all the time. That includes me seeing AUI with AR too, even thought there's the Bro AIU called Ghost.

You think Assault Rifles aren't OP'd? 

[Terminator Force]

I'm going to say SMG's too.

 

The CSMG is decent, and the BPP can be made to work, but the hurricane does dominate the category, and the fact that 1/7th of all my amps are SMG amps means that I do get sick of using the bloody thing from time to time.

 

If only I could swap SMG amps for shotgun amps...

 

Wow, you must be a Platinum only player? What's that like? And join the Gold team, cause anything goes there, even running any weapon naked!  Amps here are for Pyjaks and scrubs like me.

Most aren't. As in, everything before UR.

[Terminator Force]

This.

My hands also won't let me use ARs and SMGs, so I'm stuck with pistols and shotguns.

 

OK, now I need to know. What wrong with your hands? And how the heck are you able to keep playing for so long and so much with just two weapons classes?

[E1io]

Easily sniper rifles, hard to shoot when your scope is constantly shaking

I damaged ligaments in both hands and they never healed properly, so I can't do anything too strenuous with them. Holding down the left and right trigger is a really painful experience, so automatic and charged weapons are out of the window. I also can't play more than 2-3 games in a row.

About how I've played so long, I just get by I guess. There's enough to keep it interesting.

I use smgs the least just like the rest of these lamers.   csmg and bpp are fun to take out every now and then though.

[q5tyhj]

New players hate shotguns?  65 wat?

 

Never heard that one before. Shotguns are the best guns in the game. But for me its probably SMG's or ARs. I don't use SRs that much because I suck with them, but the Javelin and BW are two of my favorite guns in the game.

[wufpup76]

Sniper rifles. 

 

sniper rifles mainly because of the auto aim bullshit.

If it's true that new players don't care for shotguns, maybe it's a combination of the players not being comfortable with the in-your-face play style required (as stated above), and also just not having access to any of the shotguns that BSN usually considers to be worth using. GPS, Graal, Claymore, Venom, Piranha, Wraith, and Reegar are all rare or ultra rare.

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Two words:

 

Eviscerator.

BSN considers all uncommons as uniformly garbage, to be used only by scrubs.

 

The Eviscerator is excellent, a wraith with less damage and weight and an extra shot to compensate for less damage. But I know that when I started, I found it difficult to use because of the slow RoF.

[robarcool]

SMG. Proof: A load of SMG rail amps lying around that just keeps piling up. I force myself to use characters with SMGs when I want to skimp on weapon amps.

[Kirrahe Airlines CEO]

I don't necessarily dislike any weapon category. Although if you want to go by weapon amps, it's SMGs. I have the most of those lying around than the other weapon types and I also use the CSMG on a few select caster classes. Although new players hating shotguns, I disagree with that statement.

[Creator Limbs]

What is the sample size that you're drawing from that gives you the authority to say that "players hate x"?

The Piranha is also..very satisfying to use

 

Granted, it's a Rare, not Uncommon.

[Sentient Toaster]

ARs, if we're going by "how often do I carry one".

SMGs, if we're going by "how much am i relying on one".

 

I don't use ARs on many kits at all -- but when I do, it's probably a Typhoon or PPR Destroyer, and I'm relying on the AR to do the bulk of the damage.  Normally if I want something auto-fire-ish I'll go with the CSR.    Probably also has something to do with my Harrier being at I, my PPR at II, and my Typhoon only recently hitting V -- and also the fact that three of the first four Rares I maxed were the Claymore, Reegar and CSR.   Don't remember what the fourth was -- maybe GPR or GPSMG, it was something not remotely comparable.  

 

I'll often throw a Hurricane on many caster kits and sometimes as a backup on a BW build. but unless I'm feeling goofy and trying a Hurricane V TSol/TSent or the like (two kits I rarely play *shrug*), it's not the main source of damage.  My DA will be mostly relying on Reave + Cluster, for instance.

Please don't take an Avenger I / Mantis I w/ no mods or equipment of any kind on weapons-platform class into Gold...

Agree with this. Also would add that they don't realise just how good smart choke is and are less likely to know about reload canceling which is a bit more important for shotguns sustained damage than most other weapon types.
