Geth Scanner For Life.
No seriously if you want to live you will take it. Ammo boxes have ammo, they do not have medigel. Unless you get Condor or Dagger or you're a ****** scrub that cannot consistently hit things in the head, you will get more use out of Geth Scanner.
After reading a few of your posts, I see the problem. Your spraying a little too liberally, burst fire at the head with infantry and only lay on the trigger versus bosses. You shouldn't need the stability in those cases and you'll find your ammo consumption will be a lot better. You'll still have to tag an ammo box in between spawns but generally you should be in a better situation then.
... geth scanner ..., I don't think I have ever used it, ....
This is why you're still such a hopeless scrub 
I don't see the point of bringing more thermal clips if you're not also going to cash in on those grenades.
I only use the Harrier on grenade kits (mostly just the Batsol, and Demogirl). I figure you'll be visiting ammo boxes anyway, so may as well fit the best ammo hungry gun in the game.
I don't even see how that's a question. Thermal clip storage, really!?
Yes Deerber, really. ![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)

No, you are 100% correct. ie. If an enemy dodges and say you either have the Lancer or Harrier, you stop shooting, re-adjust your aim, quick scope fire again. Very important for these two weapons.
Yes, you shouldn't need stability once you got Lancer recoil down to muscle memory (Harrier never needs it), But even when you do get a good enough muscle memory, extra stability on it makes it much more enjoyable (why many love to use Lancer on Turians). On my Volus Merc, I go both stability gear and consumable for maximum enjoyment and that Volus can't hard cover for very distant shots that I want much closer to be headshots.
And guys, I'm not talking so much as what's optimum versus what enjoyable. I mostly pug Gold. Pure optimum setups = pure boredom to me. ...Folks should Volus more too, and leave those rusty GI to rust.
.Folks should leave those rusty GI to rust.
no.
On topic: I usually use thermal clip equipment on Javelin kits...but tried it on Harrier Huntress and wasn't bad.
Yes Deerber, really.
I mean, even if you have problems with your ammo and you don't feel like going optimal with the scanner, just take Assault Loadout. It's much, much better than thermal clips gear. Having 9 TCPs per game is hilarious.

Yeah, I've been tossing Assualt Loadout into the mix too (thanks to Grunt for just mentioning it). And so far still prefer Thermal Clip more on, say, my Volus Merc for a very good example. As whenever I bring Assualt Loadout, I almost never need to use Rockets. Like in that game I had earlier today with 2LGeek, I brought Assualt Loadout and not one Rocket was harmed. But I still keep it in the mix just for mixing things up.
Past 2 days I've only been playing Volus Merc with either Lancer or Harrier, so mixing my Consumables and Gear is some much needed extra variety. That and I sometimes roll with Explosive Rounds & usually no Amp on Harrier with the Volus Merc. And with this example, the Thermal Gear becomes much more valuable (since the other & best way to get the most out of each Harrier bullet is by going top notch ammo & amp. So just try cheapening out on this, and you'll be crying for 30 more rounds of Harrier action. Trust me).

You make me proud if that's true. Wish I was so innocent again. 
Why deny Ammo boxes their life purpose of providing you with more bullets? Take the Geth Scanner! 
To be honest, I'm not anything special when it comes to landing headshots. When I'm under a lot of pressure from enemies my aim tends to get worse. Sometimes I play with a "Why need accuracy when you have more bullets?" mentality. Despite all of that, I still make the Harrier work well by knowing where ammo boxes are. If I can do it, anyone can!
Also, I have zero shame in how frequently I use the Geth Scanner. It's funny to me when people judge the skill of others just for using it. Sure, it helps improve your awareness of enemies, but it doesn't help you kill things any quicker or give damage reduction. You still need to know how to stay alive and do your share of killing, Geth Scanner or not.

Yes it does when things go too well and the name of the game changes to trying to find anything to kill. Otherwise I think it always does contribute to bigger epeen.
Scanner, always scanner.
Scanner, always scanner.
I see the epeen force is strong with this one.
I have trouble finding things to kill sometimes, but it's never because someone is using a Geth Scanner. It is usually because of the following reasons:
None of those things are a problem though. I don't care if I score first, I just want to be a good teammate and hold my own.
Besides, it is rare for me to be unable to find something to kill.
LOLHarrier scrubs
Harrier is probably the easiest "strong" weapon to use in the game. Unless you have four players using Harriers on Dagger hazard/platinum, I still don't know how some people complain about running out of ammo all the time. There's plenty of ammo to kill things, all you have to do is factor in ammo boxes on your path of destruction.

If that's true, how about you don't use the Harrier on gold... 
I never use Harrier below platinum because it's boring. Use a Valkyrie or an Argus. Hell, use an Avenger if you can talk your team into not using OP loadouts. If you're gonna call out people saying Geth Scanner is OP, then I'm gonna call bullshit on that and raise you using Harrier on gold is OP...

Sinful, Rusty, and I have actually all used Avengers on Gold together

I try not to use it on OP kits, and usually without AR amps on Gold (other AR weapons need the amps way more). My fave Harrier setup is on my max cooldown specced Volus Merc (so only 5% Volus weapon passive) with Drill Ammo (Amour Ammo too OP ) and no AR amp. Thus the Thermal Clip Gear is a must for maximum chilling (which is what I enjoy doing with the Volus Merc and why I enjoy him most. My other fave setup for him is Lancer with extended & stability mag + Armour Ammo + VI + Armoured compartments). For both these Volus Merc setups, Adren Mod 3 is prefered if I have plenty of them.
Other kits for Gold with no AR amps I enjoy the Harrier on are;
- no Shockwave BatSent with Explosive Ammo & Thermal Clip
- all 6 Geth Trooper with Incindiary & Thermal Clip (still super OP, lol)
- all 6 Quarian Soldier with either Disrupter/Phasic ammo & Thermal Clip (not as OP because my focus is Sabotage & headshots for mooks, with the odd odd debuff followed by Marksman on the odd boss that needs killing fast to protect the pugs... after which my load is blown and off to the nearest ammo box I go to leave my pugs earn some kills as cleanup crew )
The vast majority of my Harrier time has been on the Human Soldier, and so I took Warfighter or Grenade Capacity for more frags.
I guess I could see taking Assault Loadout on GI, GE or GTS, but I don't run the Harrier on them.

Oh yeah, the Grenade only HS + Harrier combo. A big fave of mine too. Guess I forgot about it because it's really super deadly OP of a combo. And yeah, you don't need Thermal Clip on this because AdrenRush does a much better job at conserving Harrier ammo.
But on this kit, Adrenmod3 is a must (which goes really well with ammo box runs for more nades and Harrier ammo), as it's so fun zipping along with this setup.

David has also force... I mean gently coerced me into taking a shuriken into platinum. I think I killed about two things with it.
What was the other thing you killed other than yourself?
I've taken the awesome power of the Scimitar into Plat several times. It is a killing machine.

ISTR that Ark171 drew the Shuriken Vorcha in one of our randomizer Plat runs, and charged every spawn like it was a Typhoon anyway.

Scimitar. Another gun that's slightly better than its BSN reputation. I should try it on the AIU.
