    maybe you should be a better shot 8-)

    My sniper rifle has 10 bullets. It takes 4 to take the weakest enemies down.

    Wait what?

    You're doing something wrong here.

    Not really sure what else I need to be doing besides picking my sniper rifle, picking my special ammo power, and getting headshots.

    Headshots all day erry day. Still takes 4 shots to take down the weakest enemies.

    Upgrade it. Then find the anti-material one.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    And upgrade my sniper rifle... somehow... that makes it all clear to me. :P

    yeah, me neither

    starting sniper should do what like, 2/3 damage with a head shot? I haven't played infiltrator in a while

    and I don't think ammo powers ever weaken you, ineffective rounds just aren't helping

    the SMG you get later on is just fine

    the DLC one is crazy good, but not necessary

    god knows I made it three months and eight playthroughs or so without it

    even the starting one is workable, though, like I said, you kind of have to tap the trigger to keep the recoil manageable

    that's totally framing it the wrong way

    the first SMG and the one you get later in the story aren't really meant for long distance shooting, which is why their spreads are so wide

    it just so happens that the SMG you get from the Kasumi DLC is more oriented towards long range fighting


    personally, I prefer the "basic" SMG you get later to the DLC one on the character I mainly play

    But even with the first sniper I don't think it ever took more than two shots for anything. Outside of bosses of course. Feral and you shooting them out of stealth? Since it sounds like you are an infiltrator. That gives a nice bonus as well. Really though if you are head shotting stuff nothing should be standing. Putting points in your infiltrator line(bottom one) also is really a good bonus for this.

    feral, you get the ability to research upgrades when you recruit the salarian scientist, which is one of the first missions you can do

    the one you picked is pretty difficult, especially if you're playing above veteran, and isn't really intended to be the first one you pick

    Oh upgrades are after getting the Salarion scientist. You can upgrade your health, weapon damage, skill damage and get special weapons for your folks and upgrades for the ship. Really that is the first mission you should do when you start recruiting. On top he is an awesome character.

    I'll probably keep slogging through it and do the salarian next, since it's not hard, it's just tedious.

    I actually did it as my first mission when I played through the first time. I didn't find it that hard. And...(following spoiler)
    Missed the renegade interrupt my first time through so I had to fight the helicopter thing at full health not the weakened state if you use the interrupt.
