I like the viper. Not as powerful per shot but the rapid fire ability puts it ahead of the others in my book. You can unload a clip (12 shots I think) in about the time it takes to reload the others once.

Yeah but you can kill all but the toughest in one shot with a widow so you dont need the 12 shots.

I find that running out of ammo with the Widow is a fallacy. It happens rarely if you're good with your ammo conservation and with your trigger finger.

I preferred the Viper. The ability to fire multiple shots, combined with my Soldier's AR, made it my primary weapon. Activate slow-mo and start unloading rounds into your enemies' faces.

Its all the about the viper, I hate overkill.

I love both and choose the one appropriate to the mission.

I like both, but I've found myself using the viper more than the widow, as it fits my playstyle better. Chaining headshots is easy... if your a soldier or infiltrator that is. Also since I hack/dominate my enemies the widow isn't much use to me, except against things like scions or harbinger (I'm an infiltrator).



One thing I think people should realize is that if you use every bullet for the viper and widow, they'd both do about the same amount of total damage, the only difference between the 2 really is functionality, which would be a personal choice. Like would you prefer a 1 shot one kill, but have to reload after every shot and only have a max of 14 shots? Or would you rather have a 12 shots per clip rapid fire sniper that has a max of 64 shots.

I'd say the Widow is the superior sniper rifle (i'm not sure it's entirely fair to put it in a poll with the "normal" ones).

To be honest though, the Viper never felt like a "sniper rifle" to me it felt more like a "marksman rifle"; it seemed like it should fill a role similar to the SVD Dragunov, a squad-level marksman rifle meant to support troops from afar not a "one shot, one kill" sniper platform.

My thoughts exactly.

I prefer Viper on soldiers since you can fire off a few rounds while in AR. For every other class that can't get the Widow, Viper is the most fun just because you can fire off rounds like crazy.

I have not played an infiltrator yet so I can't comment on that, but with such limited ammo you almost have to wait for a cloak cooldown before taking a shot to maximize efficiency. Seems boring to me, but I could be wrong on that.

I voted for the M-29 Incisor Rifle. I loved using the Widow during my Infiltrator run, with its 1 shots, but I really like the burst fire aspect, the sounds, and how it seems my squad is really good when using the M-29. Try out taking garrus/zaeed/thane/legion with you and have them all use the M-29 and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Oh yes I love it. Especially since its so Exclusive!

I think it's close, but I probably would take the Viper, but not all time. The Widow is simply huge and fun. The problem for me is, as an infiltrator, it's not simply a choice between the Widow or the Viper....it's a choice between the Widow or the Viper/Vindicator. The Viper has enough ammo that I don't have to feel guilty every time I pull the trigger, and the Vindicator adds a whole new set of ammo to my belt. Not that have a terrible time running out of ammo.....I just don't feel the need to hang back and spam infinite fireballs. I'm kind of a hoarder I guess

My favorite is still the ME1 rifle with all the upgrades. The new SR seems weak in comparison. I have not played the Widow yet, but it also sounds inferior to a well equipped ME1 SR.
