But Talon mostly favours close range.

It's not better than the Talon. You're welcome.

Trying aiming scrub.

My only complaint about the Arc Pistol is that the crosshairs are terrible for sniping and putting a scope on it means I have to give up another mod.

You know what I'm doing right now? I'm laying on my bed with 3 pillows behind my head waiting to connect to EA servers. Does this make you jelly?

Is this one of those threads you get people to answer it seriously only to edit it later and make everyone look like a fool?

Did that really become a thing?  I never noticed any other threads doing that, but I don't hop on every day either.

I tried calling you with this question but the number you gave me didn't exist, must have been a mistake.

You must have a 20 gallon bladder.  I found Clyde's number in a bathroom stall.  Before any of you jump to conclusions, it was the women's restroom.  It's also in the janitor's closet and the transexual restroom.  Looks like Clyde's finally out of his shell nyuk nyuk (and maybe into others')

Gotta have piercing on there somewhere.  I like that gun with the AA for lolheadshotz with Stasis.  I put AP on the gun and use Warp ammo though.

I am good. Aiming with the Paladin is still easier.

Try not scoping in all the time with the Arc Pistol.

Both are broken as ****, each in its own way, therefore the debate is quite pointless.

I like the Talon for C.Q.C. kits that are putting you close to people's faces, or the very very very rare kit that uses a lot of Hard Cover. Talon in Hard Cover can snipe pretty damn well.

 

I like the Arc Pistol for mid-range kits that can stand a second to charge. TSent is my favourite Arc Pistolier.

QQ. Perhaps you should use that inferior weapon if your proto-hominid microbrain can't handle the complex procedure of putting the toasters head in the parenthesis? Perhaps you aren't very gud if you can't?

If I remember correctly, magazine upgrade doesn't increase the capacity of the Arc Pistol.

If I may add something, I find useful to have a look at the wikia when I'm in doubt. There are always good suggestions on how to use weapons, with which mods and on which characters.

Magazine works just fine on Arc Pistol. Fully upgraded it boosts the round count to 32, or 11 charged shots. It's in fact probably part of the optimal setup for the Arc Pistol without considering the kit played (along with Heavy Barrel and AP4 or Drill3 ammo)

The wiki is not very good. Sometimes it comes up with good information, but equally makes some pretty absurd claims. That article for example has information on mechanics that is outdated (damage calculations) after balancing changes. It also encourages the use of a piercing mod even though by itself the mod isn't very useful (only will do around 80 more damage per charged shot to armor than without, and doesn't have enough piercing to double hit anything but Atlas canopy and Ravager sacs), unless you are using a non piercing ammo with the weapon like Incendiary, warp or disruptor. It also says the magazine mod isn't very useful, even though it increases the gun's sustained base DPS more than any attachment that isn't the two damage barrels because you spend about half as much time reloading. Finally, it assumes that non charged shots should ever be used for anything but finishing a mook that has 1 or 2 bars of health left or killing swarmers quickly if you've run out of missiles.

Still it got one thing right, the reticle is better than the Paladin's and by extension Daemion is a scrub.

Oh hush, your reading comprehension is lacking again. I still get my 20 headshots with the Arc Pistol by wave 5 at the latest (unless I play with Binary Helix, then it's wave 7 :P) but the Paladin just works better for me. It's easier... more comfortable to use.

 

Get on PC, let's play a duo with Quarians and Arc Pistols. Let's see how good -you- are. :P

Well, it has that in common with Acolyte, Graal, GPS and Venom... which is why I usually only use charge weapons twice a day.

^^ For some other reason I dont have that problem with the other charge up weapons..only the Arc pistol....probably cuz i'm shooting with it more than using powers.

am I supposed to be impressed? I suppose that's sort of....acceptable if you are playing against Rippaz and only firing it at every 3rd enemy or something, but you should have that medal before you even get the 25 kills on wave 1.

No thanks. I'd rek you so hard that it'd be considered an interspecies hate crime.

Yeah... I'm not talking about a solo here. There aren't enough enemies in the first waves to get that many kills unless the other three guys are hiding in the corner of the map or something.

I also do not go for headshots if bodyshots will do the job.

 

Words. Just words. We could have so much fun if we were playing on the same platform. :P
