I personally prefer the cool Reaper phaser rifle thingamajig. Its cheap, accurate, and powerful... though I sort of miss the big explosions and people running around on fire. *sighs*

You mean Collector Beam Riffle?

I love that one. Reminds me of those Vorlon WTFPWN1NGBBQ beam cannons from Babylon 5.

[DFxSOVEREIGN]

I love it. I like the Collector Particle Beam better, though.

[GraciousCat]

I kept trying to use it before it had 100% charge, didn't read the bit about it needing to have 100% charge to be used... finally ended up having enough ammo to use it when I got to the final boss, damn that thing wrecked him!

[Hokochu]

I prefer sticking with the more lore realistic stuff like the grenade launcher, rockets or the Collector beam rifle but playing around with the other stuff is fun every once and awhile. Especially the black hole gun.

[hawat333]

Yep.

And I think it's handled the right way. I mean all the ammo you shall pick up for one shot - it would be dumb to run around while firing a mini-nuke every minute.

In the same vein, i found it's just too much overkill. Pretty, but overkill.

Besides, I wanted a big honkin' doom beam so I can shout 'AM FIRIN MAH LAZOR' every time the **** hits the fan.

I actually asked for something like Particle Beam back when ME2 was announced on the old forums - words to the effect of 'give me beam cannon like the laser from FEAR 2'. Bioware heard me!

I couldn't get my cain gun to work even with 180% ammo. So I don't even know why it's in the game. And I just wanted to see what the explosion was like. But from all these descriptions here, it seems like it doesn't matter, and that it's just a waste.

[Myrmedus]

I rebalanced this weapon in my own Coalesced.ini - it's way too powerful. 10000 damage in a single shot? Ridiculous, completely trivializes every other heavy weapon in the game. Nerfed it down to 1000 and made that shot use 33% of ammo capacity - it's staying there now.

It's amazing, though you barely ever get a chance to use it. It's just overkill on almost anything, so it feels like a waste using it in almost any situation, but when you do get a good situation... amazing. On Veteran it took out over a half of the final boss's health.

[SNx Effect]

yeah

[SharpEdgeSoda]

Has anyone tried breathing yet?



I don't think there is a gamer alive who, regardless of playstyle, doens't at least TRY the ultimate, killer RYNO of a weapon.

You've got to press and hold to make it fire.

[DuffyMJ]

I'm planning on using it in the double scion attack in the bubble part of the suicide mission

Used once just to see what it did and will probably never use it again. Waste of Resources and ammo in my book. I'd rather have multiple shots with my Blackstorm then a single kill everything in front of you once button.

I have access to the blackstorm...but I never use it. It's overpowered as **** and it feels like it's only in the game to remind you to buy everything from Gamestop. I use the Cain.

[1490]

Kills a lot of bosses in one hit, takes the last boss down to 50% life instantly. I think you can only fire it once though without finding more heavy weapon ammo.

RYNO = Completely unnecessary and extremely satisfying weapon, definitely worth 500,000 bolts

The Cain makes a fantastic boss fight ender.  I would recommend it for final boss, It is extraordinarily pleasing to hit it right in the eye with the "nuke launcher"

I think it's pretty balanced, considering that on most missions it's impossible to use it more than two times. It's supposed to be a "Red Button" weapon that you use only if you have too and you know it will do maximum damage.

It's like the "SUPER BOMB" in old school space shooter games, or "Mic Kirby" in the Kirby franchise. It clears the whole screen of enemies, but are very very rare.

If you don't like how it works, you can use something else. However, I don't disprove of your tweaking.

It will Rip You a New One.

[Skyblade012]

Has anyone tried combining the Cain with the Assassin Cloak? Shouldn't it negate the charge issues and boost damage even more?

[GuardianAngel470]

You know, everytime I wanted the Cain I was fighting two heavy mechs. Then I found out that headshotting one mech does the same thing as the Cain, and I had more fun doing it. IMO, the Widow anti-material rifle is the best gun in the game.

[Pacifien]

I'll use it in combination with the Tactical Cloak, to prevent death from the charge up period. The result is so devastating, I actually am reluctant to use it because it will diminish the challenge. Mind you, I haven't played Insanity yet...

First time I used it was against the Colossus. Just like old times, Garrus? My Shepherd has no time for nostalgia.

Widow rocks, On Insanity thou even with the disruptor ammo it was taking me 3 headshots to get through their shielding. Cain was far preferable for the double heavy mechs there... specially since a 10% headshot boost on a 10,000 dmg hit is nice



Only used the cain twice on Insanity mode thou. First time was the 2 heavy mechs on the Garus Loyalty mission. The suckers were getting to close and garrus and thane were both down.



2nd time was the final boss. Took him down to just over half health with a single shot. Very nice if your trying to do the final mission and lose noone in the squad. Time is important.

[Hellraisin]

Took me 1 shot to clear Tali's loyalty mission final room on insanity, 1 nuke, no more Geth Prime and his hunter buddies, too awesome.
