What are the best weapons for each of the 5 weapon categories, and why. Black Widow IMO is the best sniper. 3 shots of heavy hitting damage and good against armor. I like the PPR but I think the Harrier is the better Assault Rifle, though the small clip leaves some things to be desired.

[Loufi]

Assault rifles : probaly Harrier overall. PPR and Typhoon can outperform it on certain builds but if we define best as something that can shine on the highest possible number of characters then I put Harrier at rank 1.  

 

Pistols : Arc pistol. Its ability to headshot from the other side of the map makes it overall better than the Talon IMO. This gun hasn't any real flaw.

 

Shotguns : Wraith. Light, accurate, enough damage per shot to OSK many enemies.

 

SMG : Hurricane. More than twice the damage of the other SMGs. Enough said...

 

Sniper rifles : that's a tough one. I think that a good sniper will get his best performance with a Javelin, an average one with the Black Widow.

[TheNightSlasher]

AR - Harrier. Probably the best AR overall. It edges out Typhoon and PPR because it doesn't need the ramp-up and can deliver high DPS right from the start. Plus, it is a lot more versatile than those two. 

 

Shotgun - Wraith: Excellent damage with a pretty good OHK potential on mooks. It's light allowing power classes to not suffer stupidly high cooldowns. 

 

SMG - Hurricane: A bit like the harrier in terms of damage (short clip but pretty good damage per shot). 

 

Sniper - Black Widow: In the hands of an infiltrator, this is EASILY the winner. On non-infiltrators, it's comparable to javelin in the 'better' department. But the larger clip tips the balance in favor of BW. 

 

Pistol - Arc Pistol: Quite simply, the best gun in the gun in terms of damage. Almost deals as much damage as a Black Widow but with a much larger clip. Weighs less, by passes shield gate and being a pistol, it has access to some of the best mods.

[PatrickBateman]

Depends a bit also on build/kit and faction/map.

Pretty much what Loufi and Slasher listed above though I'd say the Venom might be no 1 among shotguns in some cases.

And situationally I'd rank PPR and Lancer above the Harrier (Think Platinum Hazard Dagger).

Lancer > Harrier

 

Can put 50+ rounds into something without needing to stop.

 

Don't need to hump an ammo box.

 

Lighter.

[Miniditka77]

In my opinion (assuming weapons at Level X), the only category with more than 2 real contenders is shotguns:

 

Sniper Rifle:  Javelin over Black Widow.

 

Assault Rifle:  Harrier over PPR.

 

SMG:  Hurricane over CSMG.

 

Pistol:  Talon over Arc Pistol.

 

Shotgun:  Wraith.  I wouldn't fault anyone for saying Claymore, Piranha, Raider, Reegar, Crusader, or Venom though.

[The NightMan Cometh]

AR: Harrier    ....cuz let's be honest, it is.

 

Pistol: tie for me  ...Talon..( which is actually a sawed off shotgun)  Paladin...just devastating on a caster.

                                      ( didn't mention Arc because the charge up is annoying to my right forearm)             

 

 

Shotgun: Wraith.....I wanted to say claymore..but....reasonz

 

SMG: Collector...destroys armor faster than the hurricane

 

Sniper: pretty dead even..but I will go with Black Widow over javelin

[geezer117]

Best sniper is the Crusader. 

[Caineghis2500]

Claymore (High Lord)

Arc Pistol

Harrier

Javelin 

Hurricane

[Arkhne]

AR: Lancer, no contest.

 

SR: Black Widow. Even at half the damage of the Javelin, it still has a 3 shot clip, 3 dead enemies is better than one. Overkill kills the Javelin on everything but bosses. Honourable mention to the Valiant.

 

Pistol: Talon, great caster weapon, still decent for weapons classes. Arc Pistol is great on paper, but it's horrible to use. Honourable mention goes to the Acolyte, for reasons we all know.

 

SMG: Collector SMG, just a smaller Lancer that looks like a flying horse of doom.

 

Shotgun: Depending on enemies, either Wraith or Venom, they are VERY close, both rock. Just a question of whether the player values piercing or flying phantoms more. So my vote goes to Venom (Since Wraith is already well covered by others, and for good reason).

 

Heavy: Cobra, only one available on PS3, so wins by default. Honourable mention goes to the ME2PPR.

lol. No. The arc pistol can almost be considered OP. It trivializes all mooks including phantoms provided your aim is good. L2ArcPistol

[FasterThanFTL]

Shotgun - Wraith

Grenade Launcher - Venom

Flamethrower - Reegar Carbine

AR - Harrier

LMG - Typhoon

Minigun - Spitfire

SMG - Hurricane

Sniper Rifle - Black Widow

Pistol - Arc Pistol/Talon (can't decide)

RPG - Cobra Missile Launcher

[sjsharp2011]

think it depends a lot on what you prefer and the character your playuing for me my favourite Sniper rifles are probably the Incisor and the Viper. I quite like the Krysae  rifle the one that shoots exploding bullets which I tend to only use early on in ME3 as although I find it a good weapon it dosen't really carry enough bullets per clip for my liking so don't tend to use it much.

 

Assault rifles I would say the Mattock and cerberus Harrier rifles are usually my go to guns.

 

I don't tend to use shotguns much as I prefer to keep enemies at range tbh but when I do it's usually the Eviscerator or the Scimitar guns. Although having asid that I do like using the Asari shotgun the Disciple especially against Banshee's and Brutes

 

submachine guns usually the Locust is my go to weapon purely because it's got long range accuracy and plentiful firepower in one package for me,.

 

For Pistols I find the Carnifex the most useful although I don't tend to use pistols much in ME2/3

[._.]

Venom: Makes the game brain dead easy

[justinman114]

It's really impossible to say which one is "best" but I will say which ones are my favorites (meaning which ones are best, duh).

 

AR:  Saber.  Really tough choice for me between this and the Lancer, but it really is quite a versatile gun.  Great accuracy, solid damage and clip size, easy to handle, not bad on weight.  The Harrier is okay but I always feel dirty using it and I don't like how it runs out of ammo in 10 seconds.

 

Shotgun:  Wraith.  It could be because I had to wait 700 hours to get it, it could be because it looks really cool, but mostly it's because it actually performs for my playstyle.  Not that heavy, but packs a punch and is very accurate.  Great for most, if not all classes.  Runner-up is easily the High Lord Claymoar.

 

Pistol:  Talon.  Easily my favorite pistol, it's not even a contest.  Probably my favorite gun in the game, actually.  Super light, high damage, and accurate.  Works on power spamming classes with flawless synergy.  I also enjoy the Arc Pistol as most here do, and the Eagle.

 

SMG:  Hurricane.  The only problem is the stability, and that can be handled with a bit of skill, or some equipment.  Far surpasses all other SMGs overall, with the only other one I really enjoy being the Collector SMG.  BPP is ok and the rest are somewhere between "meh" and "suck".

 

Sniper:  Javelin.  That damage is just too satisfying.  Sure, I like a lot of them, Black Widow is amazing as well, but this thing is the king for me.  Extra bonus seeing through walls is cool as well.  Special shot-out to the Collector Sniper Rifle.  After learning to use it like it was a Mattock, the thing has gone from crap to epic for me.

 

Power (BONUS!):  Lash.  Easily the best power in the game, because, reasons.

 

Pistols and shotguns are the hardest for me to choose because I like almost all of them.  I do need to give an honorable mention to the lolAcolyte and the Reegar, but those two almost deserve their own category.  This was fun to actually think about.

[afgncaap7]

"Best" tends to vary greatly depending on class and player. I can list my personal favorites though.

AR - Mattock. Good dam​age, high accuracy, plenty of ammo, fires as fast as you need it to, doesn't weigh too much...there's not a single scenario that a mattock can't handle. Honorable mention goes to the phaeston, but that's more "underrated" than "best". I've never been too fond of cooldown weapons that require you to constantly monitor your numbers and the typhoon's weight and wind-up limit it to a few specific classes. **** the harrier. If you wanna be leashed to an ammo box just to do a little extra damage then be my guest.

Shotgun - Piranha. Ma​ssive damage, plenty of accuracy with a smart choke, incredibly easy to use, plenty of ammo...this thing has one of the most appropriate names for any weapon in this game. Anything standing in front of you is already dead if you're holding this.

Sniper - I'm a terrible sniper, so weapons like the javelin and widow are useless for me. I value versatility, lasting power and room for error, so I tend to hover between the valiant, black widow and indra.

SMG - If you've got it​'s recoil under control, then it's hard to argue with the hurricane.

Pistol - Arc pi​stol. Need massive damage in one shot? Arc pistol does that. Need to spray and pray? Arc pistol does that. Need to turn your weapon invisible and shoot lightning from your finger? Arc pistol does that.

I think you misspelled Claymore! When it comes to snipers that might even be true

 

But on-topic: if this is supposed to be about "objectively" rating the guns, are y'all seriously saying the Wraith is better than the lolreegar?! Sure it's a bit heavier, but the deeps is just ridiculous. Other than that, I think TNS put it pretty well.

[Mgamerz]

AR: Harrier ....cuz let's be honest, it is.

Pistol: tie for me ...Talon..( which is actually a sawed off shotgun) Paladin...just devastating on a caster.
( didn't mention Arc because the charge up is annoying to my right forearm)

SMG: Collector...destroys armor faster than the hurricane

Sniper: pretty dead even..but I will go with Black Widow over javelin

As a person who has hand issues (and ergonomic everything) when I use my controller mod I find I don't use charge weapons. The amount your finger has to pull the muscle (through the carpal tunnel and in your forearm)/its just a lot easier to hold a charge on PC. I feel mashing power buttons is easier on console in terms of hand comfort.

By a long shot. I can think about many situations where the Reegar will suck, as a lot of characters don't have the tankyness to be constantly in the enemies' faces. The Wraith is good for all missions, whatever the character, map and faction. 

[Brannigans 1ove]

Sniper Rifle - Javelin - on the SI and the FQI it's just so much fun.

Assault Rifle - Harrier - ridiculous damage, quick reload, very light.  Stick it on grenade kits as you'll be harvesting ammo crates anyway

SMGs - CSMG - at least when it's above level 6, high damage, lightweight, and stable enough to make all shots headshots.  Below level 6, hurricane.

Shotguns - Claymore - for style reasons.

Pistols - it won't be popular, but the Acolyte (or Scorpion).  I often host, so phantoms.  This is the gun I equip most often, generally as a sidearm for dealing with those cheating ninjas.

[Olivia Wilde]

Black Widow - Because When I miss I still have 2 more shots

PPR - Because I've seen Ghostbusters too many times

Hurricane - because I don't use SMG's much and the hipsters say so

Wraith - like a lighter 2 shot claymore

Talon - I use it more than the arc pistol, funny that I initially hated it

This saved me some typing, tnx

 

Edit: could argue that venom is better then wraith, but if you take phantoms out of the picture, wraith will be better in most cases, so still have to agree with this list.

[Best VolusSupport NA]

Shotgun: Claymore because I will always be a servant for the high lord claymore himself and resist the likes of the dark lord reegar and the clutch lord venom.
