We''ve all played the game to death, tried everything pretty much. It isn't very often that I come across something new or different.. but I did, figured I'd share it with the BSN.

Now.. you're going to think this is terrible upon first hearing it, and I'll be the first to admit that it's not optimal.. but, I value different and fresh over min/max.

The Blood Pack Punisher with the scope and stabilizer.. AP IV ammo. Those two mods change the gun from a point blank range sprayer into a medium range assault rifle. Quick scope to switch targets faster, hipfire at close range still.

With no barrel mod it's pretty weak vs shields/barriers but it does very well on health/armor.. great on Overload/Energy Drain kits. I've been using it on the Human Engi, Turian Sentinel and Volus Engineer. I imagine it would be pretty good on the Turian Sabotuer as well. Haven't tried it on anything that buffs weapon damage crazy like Cloak, Adrenlaine Rush, Marksman, Devastator Mode, etc. but I imagine its pretty decent there too.

It's just something new to try.. completely transforms the gun. It's odd getting every round to hit a mook sized target at medium range using the Punisher.

Enjoy.. or hate it. Whatever.

Yes, I read the last sentence of your post but I'm actually wondering if this would work with a Hurricane? I only ask because I have a Hurricane X and a Punisher II.

[PHOEN1XK1NG]

Hmmm. Never considered the scope. I hate quick scoping swarmers...

[NuclearTech76]

Geth engineer is pretty solid as well.

Hurricane X with a stabiliser is a good medium- to long-range weapons. I don't think the scope would hurt it, but I'd rather not waste the slot. I usually have the Hurricane on casters so I prefer a power amp. AP IV on the Hurricane shreds through bad guys.

The range is much, much better with a scope. Medium range engagements become headshot fests. Scope also increases the range of target lock for powers..

The point really isn't for it to be the BEST setup.. it's to turn the Punisher into something it normally is not.. accurate. It would be even better on the Herpecain because the recoil is much easier to manage.. but that's not really saying much bc the Herpecain is better than pretty much every gun in the game, including the Punisher.

You tried it Nuke?

[OniGanon]

Can use Stability mod + Stability III consumable for perfect stability.

 

Can use on a Geth or Destroyer for their accuracy buff instead of using Scope.

 

Alternatively can use on a Turian/Jugg instead of using the Stability mod.

 

 

And yes, it works on the Hurricane too. I usually use the Hurricane + Scope + Clip + Stability III consumable on a Turian Sentinel whenever I have too many SMG Amps. Sniping across Dagger with a Hurricane is highly amusing.

When my friend and I used this set up in an unintentional duo (no one joined our game in progress), things went pretty smooth.  Used it against Cerberus on Dagger, so we had a chance to shoot at targets from long range.  Got to test it out by shooting at a Nemesis from far away, and it worked well.  Atlases would go down pretty quick when shot from a distance as well.   I like using this gun every now and then.  This was nice, different take on how to use it.

I've been having fun fighting collectors with BPP 6 recently, using a quarksman with AP 3. Pretty funny, really. Praetorians go down in about 5 seconds or less, and each eighth shot takes two bars out of their armor. Pretty much just hunt praetorians and all is well.

If you are looking for unique, fun builds .. Recently I've been using a passiveless Drell Adept, and it's quite fun. Pull reave is a cool and powerful combo .. I just save the grenades for reave bombing the larger armored units

[Ashevajak]

Hmm, that's not how I normally use it, but I've been bringing out the BPP for a whirl every now and again of late, so I'm up for giving it a try.  I've mostly been using it as a short-range, heavy hitting sidearm for the Blood Pack classes, in lieu of the Hurricane or CSMG (both of which are at X, compared to the BPP's II).

This.  Stability mod + Stability II is good enough for zero recoil.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Marksman kits.  The DPS of the Punisher is mostly from the anti-armor bullet.  Marksman will not only improve accuracy but also get that anti-armor bullet out faster.

[Nitrocuban]

It gets pretty devastating with Marksman, I didn't reall expect that when I did the SMG challenge with it.

[RustyBuckets02]

I've done this before on the Turian soldier with barrage gear (which frees up a mod slot for a heat sink) and it really is hilariously effective.

The Revenant with a scope is also fun, with something to boost stability. You realise how much punch that thing actually has when all the shots are landing on target.

I haven't properly tried a hurricane with a scope. I once put a scope on it by accident with nothing to help stability and couldn't hit the backside of a brute unless I hipfired it. With stability upgrades it might be ok though.

[cato potato]

Unfortunately, I hate scopes far too much to try this. I'd rather just get the smaller accuracy boost from ADS'ing and still have some peripheral vision while firing.

Yeah... less than Hurricane I.

Making a weapon perform at a high level with Marksman is nothing new though. The point is to try something different, and not recycle the same old builds and ideas we've been using for years. I wanted to make the Punisher usable at range for caster classes.. I succeeded.

Megabeast has become soft since the wedding, once a hard nosed somehwhat sarcastic, this is the way to do things you noobs kind of guy he has now become a soft talking conciliatory person who is posting in a more touchy feely way making suggestions.  It all happened so fast....(does the sign of the cross).

[N7 Tigger]

In the campaign I put a scope on literally every gun. Combined with SP Adrenaline Rush it means every bullet you fire is a headshot no matter the range (ME2 version was insane). It took me about a month of MP before I stopped using scopes and, apart from the Saber, I have never used one since. But I guess a stun power like Overload could do the same job as AR's Time Dilation. I might try it on the Revenamt, too. That gun has never felt right. I'm thinking the Geth Engineer might get the job.

New drinking game. Do a shot every time Megabeast starts a post with "My wife..."

[HeroicMass]

I did this a while back.  I found that it was a good option for casters but didn't sync that well with marksman kits.

When writing about builds/ideas, I intentionally try to not sound like a ******. It promotes more on topic discussion and keeps threads from devolving into pissing matches.

Yeah.. I got hitched a few weeks ago.
