    Considering that you can get an Avenger X by purchasing packs that cost 5k instead of 60k I'd say it's fair to favor the Avenger over the GPR

    I just wouldn't care about the GPR if it was an uncommon. As a rare its existence offended me every time I opened up a Spectre or Jumbo Spectre pack and I saw it there

    mocking me

    Curly's said he's had good luck with it and the Asari Vanguard. Basically would freeze a dude in place, fart grenades all over the target, then charge said target.

    Like Orca said, any Class that can stun lock an opponent for a few seconds.

    I'd recommend it for a class with a lot of offensive powers as well, since it's got such a low ammo clip.

    Once you get used to the fact that the projectiles don't hit their targets right away, it's pretty great.

    batarian sentinel seems like it'd be a good fit

    use the submission net to lock 'em, then shoot 'em

    and batarians get the ammo clip bonus

    It goes well with the Batarian's best ability: punching. Seriously this is a great combo

    Also I tried the Scorpion on my Batarian Sentinel.... eh... I wasn't too impressed...

    Try it out yourself though see what you think.

    Scorpion can be really nice for classes that can't stay out of cover for long, like maybe an asari adept with pistol weight reduction and not much fitness. No need to stand up for 10 seconds blazing away, just stand, pop pop, back down.

    I've also heard it can set up tech bursts?

    EDIT: Or maybe I'm just thinking of the arc pistol?

    I unlocked the Phalanx and the Mattock tonight

    I like them but I feel like I'm gonna need to get a couple more levels in each before their true potential is realized

    I really like the Mattock with a stabilizer to make it useful beyond the advertised medium range.

    Playing through singleplayer today, I noticed this:

    It's time to bitch about terrible pubbies!

    Today I ran into a genius that was a level 20 human engineer, rocking both a Claymore I and a Falcon III.

    I noticed the loadout and left that group before the game even started.

    Guys, Geth Engineer is my new favorite class.

    I specced my turret for healing, maxed out everything except for the special Fitness tree, slapped a Geth SMG on him and went to town.

    Also I named him Enzo.

    Will probably name my Geth Infiltrator (if I ever get him) Bob.

    I'm in wave 8 or 9 of a pub gold match on Hydra with a drell vanguard who refused to res people and likes to take forever to solo the round

    Just got out of a pub silver match with a salarian infiltrator who was constantly running away and dying. Voice chat was quiet as usual. On extraction, he runs to the other side of the map and dies with over a minute remaining. I work my way towards him to pick him up again.

    Suddenly, the voice chat lights up. One guy keeps saying "let him die, let him die" while the dying guy screams "fuck you" over and over. In the end, he disconnected just when I had reached him.

    Way to go, guys.

    Yes, it is called the heat sink.

    At max level, it gives your SMG a 45% chance to not use ammo when it fires.

    That plus the thermal clip (or whatever) that adds 80% ammo per clip, means you're getting an average clip size of about 261 on the geth SMG, over 2 1/2 times its default.

    Like Pony said, it works really well with the Geth SMG, since it gives you a lot more time at the higher fire rate.

    If you max out carnage you should forgo charge and not barrier. Carnage's long ass recharge time doesn't mix with charge well.
