    If their barrier can be taken down or at least weakened a bit I've been cloaking and using the Geth heavy melee to wipe them out.

    Not advisable when they're at full health because they still find a way to insta-stab you in that animation.

    Seeing you spin your character around so fast all the time weirded me out

    Never spend real money on item packs.

    Unless this is the reason we're getting free dlc then get those premium spectre packs while you still can!

    I don't have a Batarian yet but if I wipe out I make sure to spectate them.

    Having their heavy melee be the final kill of the round that instantly revives you is pretty great.

    Phantoms basically die super easy if you can get them to sit still.

    Or chain overload a lot and just don't care that they're jumping everywhere.

    Stasis bubble makes phantoms so easy. Also using the Valiant I don't have too hard of a time taking them out.

    I'm not a big fan of the raptor

    the mattock feels better in my hands

    I think the reason I like the striker so much is because it's the closest thing to an assault rifle with high explosive rounds from mass effect 1

    it's so fun

    I love the raptor. I'm not that good at sniping, so it allows me to potentially miss my first shot, adjust slightly, then spamclick until my target dies.

    I'd use the mattock instead, but the raptor is already scoped, so I can use the damage and penetration mods. Also salarian 30% sniper rifle weight reduction.

    With the extra ammo from getting it up to X maybe it'll be better

    some things about multiplayer really piss me off.

    They mostly revolve around reviving and cover

    nothing like sitting there mashing the fucking revive button while it does nothing, then you die because a successful revive + living through it depended on your precise timing

    also cover: besides the obvious sticking to cover when you're trying to run, looking around while in cover could use some work. If I am in cover and I want to look behind myself, to make sure I don't get killed from behind, my guy should not be standing up to do this

    eh, the shuriken is not that bad

    good for stripping shields with my drell adept at least

    of course, at the time I didn't really have any alternatives

    he's right though. Damage per shot, accuracy, recoil, are all slightly in the Raptor's favour. It's a bit heavier, but it also comes with a scope, meaning you can have 2 other weapon mods, where a mattock could have a scope and one other mod, or no scope and 2 mods.

    to be a terrible pedant, the mattock is actually stronger per shot than the raptor

    a raptor X seems to be about a mattock II damage-wise

    the google docs chart breaking down the weapon stats lists the Mattock at 76.1 - 95.2 damage per shot, and the Raptor at 78.2-97.7

    yours is out of date

    the mattock got buffed twice
    Mattock Assault Rifle
    - Damage increased from [76.1-95.2] to [83.7-104.7]

    Mattock Assault Rifle
    - Damage increased from [83.7-104.7] to [94.2-117.8]

    edit: this is the one i've been using

    Maybe I should start using the Mattock if it actually does damage now

    But it's still no Raptor
