I put this thing on a Turian Ghost Infiltrator on Bronze and I was just blown away! Things were dying like crazy. Those sneaky Cerberus troopers thought they could kill me but I was all "NOPE" and shot them and they died. I ran with a Katana Human Soldier, a melee Collector Adept and a Revenant Drell Vanguard and got third place. I was really nervous when we got the hack on wave 10, but between this gun and my stimpacks, we were able to make it and extract!

 

Definitely recommend this gun and I plan on using it again. If there's anything the Geth know, it's how to make top-tier weapons like this, the Geth SMG and the Spitfire. No wonder they were kicking Quarian bumbum before Shepard intervened.

I like it a lot on the HE or GE with incendiary ammo. It takes on wood difficulty no problem.

 

In all seriousness, I will use it on gold also. It's not a super efficient killer but it feels nice and applies ammo effects reasonably well.

[Pheabus2009]

It's even more deadly on full auto then the Avenger, so definitely an op gun.

On-host, I will use it all over the place and make apology to no one.

 

Off-host, forget about it. When it isn't rendered near-useless, it reliably loses a portion of its damage output in the swamp of Biowur code.

Naw, if I wanted to do that I could go grandstanding in a character discussion thread in the SP forums. I just think this gun is the opposite of the Arc Pistol and if the Arc Pistol is sucky, surely that means this gun is glorious!

So do certain guns actually miss some damage off host or is it just the health bar being elusive and lying?

[MajorStupidity]

In all seriousness I use it on the geth engineer to apply ammo powers, and use some headshot boosting consumables. It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be (on gold I don't play platinum, but I can imagine it would be far worse there)

I've been in some "laggy" games that certainly appeared to be sucking rounds into the ether. It appears as though the game is indeed registering hits, but the damage itself gets lost somewhere.

On gold its fun to use with the HSOL CS build with Inc. Rounds. Lots of fire explosions. Try it

Its viable on platinum too but make sure yer playing with friends that can handle most of the armored bullet sponges. The rest is cake

I never had this problem with the Pulse Rifle. But projectile weapon like GPS, Graal or Venom sometimes seem to shoot blanks off host, if it's laggy.

good gun to practise your head tracking abilities

I like handling of GPR. Damage. though - not so much. It's a good weapon (not great, but good enough) on Silver and below, but barely has any place on Gold. I remember using it on HSol with cryo ammo on Gold - suffice to say I somehow managed to not be the last on the scoreboard, but it was hard. Still, I do use GPR every so often - there many assault rifles worse than it.

It might be better suited for TSol with his extra headshot damage and increased rate of fire.

So I can cause more BSN tears by using the GPR? Excellent.

I have seen an exceptional player topscore with the GPR at level 10 on Gold.  Said player was using a Targeting VI at level 3 and was headshotting all the things.

 

For a mere mortal like me, it's not a useful weapon above Silver, and only with a character with abilities that can boost its power (e.g. GT or TGI).

The GPR replaced the Collector Sniper Rifle on my GE. Less damage, sure... but style points!

The GPR is perfect on the GE because it applies ammo so effectively. GPR + Incendiary + headshots + mulitple Chain Overload + Flamer Turret = lots of fire explosions. The 100% stability means his Hunter Mode can be specced to benefit power usage.

 

You can also go for cryosplosions if you want to use up some of those cryo ammo stocks.

 

And yes, I know you knew this already but I wanted to say that I like it too

I don't know for sure if that's the case because sometimes when I use other automatic weapons, the damage appears to be zero and suddenly there'll be a spike with health/armor/shields/barrier losing extra bars after the fact.

 

Just one of the many, many reasons why I almost never play this game off-host.

I too enjoy it on the Geth Engineer with ammo powers (usually Incindiary, but Disrupter too sometimes).

 

Gun isn't bad at all. High fire rate makes it great for incindiary ammo (but for folks that still hate it's armour dps can also take it a step further on an incindiary cheese kit). And pinpoint accuracy and headshot focus is what makes this weapons great fun to me.

Human Engineer > Geth Engineer.

I know this is a gag thread and everything but the GPR is actually a very solid rifle on gold. Just saying.

I don't really play Gold anymore so I wouldn't know. I'm not saying that in an epeen kind of way but the way I view every weapon is derived from how it performs on Platinum, and I wouldn't dare bring the GPR along against BS Phantom and Prime spam. The amount of time spent shooting from behind soft cover means more time to get shot from behind by a turret or bullrushed by a Phantom.

 

What would've done the GPR a lot of favors is if it worked akin to its ME2 counterpart and did bonus damage against shields (and I guess barriers for the sake of balance) as a reliable shield-stripping AR. Biotic and anti-armor classes could get a lot more utility out of it.

Human Engineer > Geth Engineer.

 

That's racist.

[Quarian Master Race]

Thread premise is flawed. Geth lost and had to go and hide behind momma Reaper's leg to put an end to the whippin' they got from the owner of the playground.

Still, GPR isn't that bad when you abuse the 3x headshot multiplier by stacking headshot gear, and shooting toasters in the face and beating them to death with their own gun has a certain appeal to me.

It does require APIV or assistance from ammo detonations to not suck against armored bosses, though.
