Scimitar >>> Revenant
And that's no joke.
Yeah if the Scummytar had a SDF-1 Main Gun attachment, maybe.

Oh, man. You're in for quite a joy when you do ![]()
Don't have any basis for my claim? You mean other than the fact that you immediately jumped down my throat with your vaginitis because of one little offhand comment I made? Yeah, I clearly have noooooo basis for you being an easily offended pr**k.
Silly. You appear to be the only one who got offended here (not to mention the one being a ******). I pointed out that since you haven't actually played with the overwhelming majority of people who trash the Revenant (i.e. basically everyone), you don't actually know whether they suck with it or don't like it because it just sort of sucks. Not sure why you would think that meant I was offended- I wasn't one of the people "hating" on the Revenant so your comment wouldn't have even applied to me anyways (I was one of the people who posted that I like using it on certain kits). So, take a deep breath, soak that hurt-butt, and rest content that no one is disputing what appears to be your sole point here (i.e. that at least the Revenant isn't one of the very worst guns in the game... just pretty bad).
Let me phrase this in a way that even a Vorcha can understand...ahem...GRAAAAGHHH!!!!!! REVENANT NOT TOP OF LINE, BUT NOT TERRIBLE EITHER. NEEDS MORE USER INPUT FOR STAY ON TARGET, BUT PEOPLE NOT GOOD WITH RECOIL. OTHER WEAPONS MORE IDEAL, BUT THAT NO MAKE SHOOTY MASHINE GHUN BAD, JUST MEAN OTHER WEAPONS BETTER. ME SAY THIS FROM MOMENT ME ENTER TOPIC, BUT DIPSTICK TOO STUCK UP TO PAY ATTENTION. RATHER CRY LIKE BABY BECAUSE HE NEED ME2 REVENANT TO KEEP HIM SAFE AND WARM AT NIGHT. BLAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
GRRAAAAAAAAAGHH!!! YOU DON'T IMITATE VORCHA! BESIDES YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! TALK IN THIRD PERSON ALWAYS! ALSO YOU DON'T INSULT OUR VORCHA BROTHER LIKE HUMAN BABY WHO NEEDS DIABER CHANGED!!! WE TIE YOU DOWN AND BURN YOUR FEET UNTIL TOE NAILS MELT! GRRRRRRAAAAAGH!!! THEN WE TAKE MELTED TOE NAILS AND USE IT AS GLUE AND STICK FECES ON YOUR NIPPLES! THEN WE GET REVENANT GUN AND SHOOT BUNCH OF HOLES IN SQUISHY BODY! BURN CORPSE AFTER!! WIPE BOOGERS ON FACE! THROW YOU INTO VARREN PIT AND BE TORN TO SHREDS!! WE LAUGH FOR HOURS AND PLAY GAMES NOW WITH REVENANT!! REVENANT FUN GUN!! BIG WITH LOTS OF BULLETS!! SPRAYS EVERYWHERE! DOESN'T MATTER IF INACCURATE AND MESSY! GRRAAAAAAAAGH!!! JUST LIKE VORCHA!!!

I used to spec one of the human soldiers for infinite dakka. That was before the Typhoon was available and done with the revenant. Earned me a couple of puzzled looks.
Admission: I like the Revenant.
Or, rather, I like what it would be without the slowdown. That is the only part of it that cannot be fixed without hacking, and it's the only part that particularly bothers me. The spread would end up irking me, but if it didn't slow down my movement speed, I could just throw it on the Trooper or GE and make it fun. It's unfortunate that the gun wasn't slightly more accurate and without the slowdown, that is all that is stopping it from being the subject of trollposts like this thread. Everyone would agree that it is OK, then go shoot their favourite weapons at their (least)favourite enemies and be happy.
I occasionally use it on GE for the lols or the Striker and watch people like FTL and Shu100 rage quit after I take first with a ok gun.
My favorite Revenant build is the full defensive bubble Asari Justicar with maxed shield recharge. If you're sitting in hard cover with 80% DR from Reave and Bubble, plus a 0.5 second shield recharge, you can eat a ton of bullets with little consequence. Just sit there and go full Dakka. And the Revenant is pretty stable and reasonably accurate if you're in hard cover. Great for camping setups, you know... if you're into that sort of thing.

That name is too boring! call it: The SJW (The Social Justicar Warrior)
She feeds on the tears of the male enemies and the male attention seekers.(reave)
She sets up her own little world inorder to not get triggered(Biotic bubble)
She fights for feminism and to defeat the evil men(Asari justicar)
She remembers her friends on tumblr for strength(Fitness)

In honor of this thread I used the Revenant last night on my grenade-less Human Soldier. (Blasphemy, I know, but I had him spec'd that way for a stupid challenge.)
PRO: with Stability Damper, scope, Barrage Gear, and Stabilization Module, the Revenant was decently accurate.
CON: I had to use all that sh*t to make it so.
PRO: headshot some Banshees.
CON: took two entire clips (with Adrenaline Rush) to kill Brutes.
Conclusion: the problem with the Revenant isn't stability or accuracy, it's that it doesn't do enough damage.
I freaking love the Revenant, but it's clear that Biovar hates it/us. Pathetic damage, terribly innacurrate, high recoil (i wanna puke). Even Phaeston is a more efficient choice ffs.

I realized the revenant is good with a vanguard, ill try it with the turian vanguard.
Inb4 [X] good on a turian
Conclusion: the problem with the Revenant isn't stability or accuracy, it's that it doesn't do enough damage.
The major reason why it doesn't do enough damage is that it's very inaccurate. It has very good base DPS for an assault rifle - slightly better than Valkyrie.

Doesn't the Valkyrie balance that out through its headshot multiplier?

Explain why it takes so long to kill a Brute (or Atlas) with the Revenant, then? You can't miss them.

Amen. It shouldn't be especially accurate or stable- its a machine gun. But it should do at least moderately respectable damage.
I wouldn't mind low damage if it could shoot straight. But it's got spitfire damage (with no modifiers), eviscerator accuracy and hornet recoil.

It doesn't, really. Brutes are one of the few enemies Revenant does reasonably well against. That said, I always try to headshot Brutes, and obviously Revenant has hard time hitting that tiny face.
Revenant has pretty good DPS if all the bullets hit their target (better than Lancer, Saber, CAR, Argus, Eagle etc.), the problem is getting all the bullets hit their target.
