Just got to the collectors' ship, wasn't expecting this so soon.  Not sure which to chose.  I don't know if there's going to be a better Sniper Rifle, and I hear Shotguns kinda suck atm.  SMG really covers what I need out of ARs that if the M98 is worth getting then I want that...

Anyone else?

Flass? If infiltrator, go for the widow. That thing, with assassin's cloak and heavy warp ammo + full upgrades can one-shot a possessed collector if you hit him in the head.

The Battle Rifle you could use if you took assault rifle training is very nice, but the Widow is the best sniper rifle in the game, so if you're happy with SMGs, go with that.

More than the last one at least, that's all I know.

So I'm an Infiltrator so I should go with the Widow and ignore crowd control?

Is the rifle it's own class(like did my upgrades affect it at all)? Also can I respec the weapon if I don't like it?

Only 12 rounds total or twelve per clip?



The Viper I already have holds 60 or so total and while it isn't a huge damage dealer its still solid and 12 per clip is nice.

Does the Widow penetrate through anything?

Either the Widow(sniper) or Revenant(assault) is good, but don't bother with the Claymore(shotgun), the Eviscirator from the DLC actually does (slightly) more damage and carries more ammo

Widow. It holds 14 rounds in total with the off-hand ammo pack (N7 Armor).



On Insanity difficulty, it drops Scions in 4 assassin-cloaked head shots, or 3 with squad-mate assistance. Don't know about lesser difficulties, but you can empty your entire SMG into a Scion on Insanity and it'll still be standing.



Use Squad-mates for crowd control. The Infiltrator is not a crowd control class (IMO).

I'm playing as an Infiltrator right now (in fact, I just passed that same level OP is talking about) and I say take the widow. That thing takes enemies down to nothing with one headshot. Even if they don't die from it outright, they are so weakened that it's easy for your squadmates to clean up. (Also, it does massive damage to praetorians.)

I beat the final boss with the Widow, and if you run out of ammo you can just use the collector heavy weapon while cloaked. Haven't tried this on anything over Veteran, though, so plan accordingly.



Also, if you get the assault rifle training you can never get the Revanant, not even if you import you save to a new game. That weapons cache works once and once only.

I'm partial to the Widow, mostly for the massive DPS it yields when augmented by appropriate bonuses.  Heightened AR, in particular, makes it one of the more definitive FU buttons in the game. 


Truthfully, though, I've never used the Revenant because the game very annoying prevents players from trying a different weapon specialization on NG+
Here's a tip for you: Save your game before selecting a weapon and then take em all out for a test drive in the platform battle, then make your selection based on which one suits your play stle.
Wish I'd done that.

the widow, a thouand times the widow. its like carrying a 20mm cannon around. it can take out most shielded targets with a single shot the revenant is useless, less accurate than smg, heck less accurate than a shotgun. only good at close range.

The widow is absolutely incredible, I prefer the Viper at times to be honest (thanks to it's rapid rate of fire so long as you can consistently aim for head shots while firing multiple rounds), but nothing beats the feeling of 3 shotting things on insanity.

I made the mistake of taking the AR training on my second Infiltrator play through and as you said Tempest LMG > AR. Shotgun might be fun to cloak around with agent and up front head shot people, never had any inclination to do it though, since for me that defeats the purpose of what I make the infiltrator out to be.


Edit: Viper Sniper Rifle, not Mantis.
