Can anyone who has used assault rifles on their Shepard tell me if the Collectors Assault Rifle is actually better than the other ARs?  I'm planning on making a Soldier soon and wanted to know.  The crappy in game description says the Collectors AR rips through shields, but the Vindicator says it is good against shields, armor and health.  How does the Collectors AR fair against armor?  What is the clip size/max ammo? 
Also, does Concussive Shot work on shielded or armored opponents?  I forgot to pay attention to that with my squad mates.

I think Concussive Shot does'nt work against shielded and armored opponents either. It is not bad against enemies with barrier and certainly it works fine against enemies with health only. With health only they get knocked out and lie for some time on the floor. If they got barrier it just damages it, but the opponent is still on his feet.

It packs a much bigger punch than the Vindicator but it has a much bigger target spread. It's nice up close, but I tend to stay back from the fray. I personally prefer the tighter spread of the Vindicator, but if you use very short bursts from the collector model, it's not horrible.



The collector rifle also has an 80 round clip and 577 rounds for ammo storage (at my upgrades 2/3?)

Thanks for the quick replies! I'm used to doing short bursts since my other character was a Sentinel with SMG. If you don't use short bursts with the Tempest, you're wasting ammo.

I know this post was about the collectors rifle, but I don't suppose anyone has any experience with the Geth Rifle in this game? Wondering whether or not to bother picking it up : ) Thanks

Starting out with the collector rifle on insanity is pretty nice. Im tearing through enemies and with adrenaline rush on im able to lay out a barrage to the head very easily. However the vindicator definitely has an advantage at longer ranges. So think more of your play style and how close on average you are to your enemies. Also keep in mind that the vindicator has a smaller ammo limit.

As for concussive shot, its effective against barriers I'm pretty sure.

If you're playing on Hardcore or Insanity difficulty you'll pick up the rifle just before you talk to Tali during her recruitment mission; it's in the same room as her and almost impossible to miss. Is is worth it? The description says it's effective against Barriers, Shields, and moderately effective against armor.

When I was playing through on Insanity I stuck with the Collector Assault Rifle but gave it to my squadmates who could use assault rifles. They seemed to do pretty well with it.

I think capt. no pants is confusing it with the revenant... The collector gun is extremly accurate at all ranges, it is very similar to the geth rifle (they even have the same siluhete). Like the description says it's good at taking out shields fast, so it's best used when fighting eclipse or blue sune, not mixed crouds like collector battles. it doesn't have alot of punch, so even though it has alot of ammo, you'll burn through it fast, it took 2 clips to take ur average merc (on hardcore, lesser difficulty won't be that bad. recomended tactic: to conserve ammo, use it bring down the enemies shields, and finish them with a headshot from a pistol/SR. My personel recomendation: go for the vidicator. it has a chronic ammo problem, but it takes enemies down fast, especialy if u combine it with adranaline rush, for the headshots...
