My soldier always uses Saber and Talon. Saber is amazing with AR, and Talon is your lightweight shotgun for CQC.

With an Eagle V and a Raptor V you get 200% cool down bonus.

 

Do note you're playing a sentinel, which has a higher weight capacity than my prefered classes Adept and Engineer

 

Sentinel: 15+35+35+35 = 120

Adept: 10+20+20= 50

Engineer: 10+30+20 = 60

I know OP said AR and pistol, but I think the M-4 Shuriken should count as one (machine pistol, right?) But as to when can a pistol offer something an AR can't? Just my opinion but I'd say when my Shep has a medium-long range designated marksman type of AR, like the Mattock or Saber, the fight goes indoors for a more CQB setting. Then its nice to be able to pull that M-4 off my hip and have a fast, 6-round burst for close quarter action. 

 

Reverse is also possible with an Avenger/Paladin type combo.

Just FYI, my Adept with rank 3 Biotic Mastery (10+20) is able to equip the Raptor V and Eagle V and still have a 183% cool down bonus. With the rank 5 weight evolution that would get her to 200%. The Engineer would have a 193% bonus at rank 3 and 200% at rank 5.

I'm actually running Predator + Avenger now. It's quite viable, though I rarely equip the pistol, only when I run out of ammo for the assault rifle. I'd gladly switch the Predator to Shuriken if not the cutscene appearance. 

Also, IMO Shuriken tops every non-DLC SMG in the game!

You mean the other three?  :P

 

Agreed, though. With the Lancer I never have to worry about running out of ammo, so never equip the Predator, but since we see it all the time in cutscenes, it's part of my loadout. Should add that I only use those two weapons for a power-based shep, like engineer or adept. For any other class I'll pick different weapons.

Yeah, hate what they did to the Locust. Not only you get it near the end of the game but it's also less damaging and less accurate! :(

 

I think having an assault rifle in a loadout is necessary to avoid the confusing animation of Shepard pulling an SMG from behind his back! It's seen much more often than the Predator/Avenger cutscenes

 

My current Engineer has a quite interesting skillset, the weapons see quite some use :) This:

Combat Drone: Detonate, Shields and Damage, Chain Lightning

Sabotage: Duration, Explosive Hack, Berserk

Tech Mastery: Influence and Duration, Squad Bonus, Power Mastery

Inferno Grenade: Damage, Max Grenades, Armor Damage

Yeah... got that alot in my last playthrough when shep only used the M-11 Wraith. I wanted the damn shotgun-equipping animation, but didn't see it most of the time.

Most of the time? Is shotgun-equipping animation present at some point in the game?

The Hurricane is not DLC, but Collector's Edition.

True, should've clarified.

In that case... which? :devil:

Ah, yes, the one where you fight Cerberus. Or was it the Reapers? Don't quite remember :P

Would be funny if there was such a scene in Rannoch missions :D

Wait, there actually is! :o The way Shepard uses the targeting laser after renegade interrupt with the Reaper on Rannoch :D

Yeah.  This means it is in everyone's gamefiles though so it is possible to add it via save editor, key binding in coalesced, etc. ;)
