julesthegr8 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I love being the Infiltrator and cloaking and just taking heads off with cryo ammo equipped. Im ready to wrap up my first playthru and was wondering what your Favorite sniper rifle has been for those that use it a lot? I decided to spend the creds on the Black Widow and my god it is Nasssssty. Anyone else using this? Anyone using it for an Insanity run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecto69 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think mine is the mantis for now however the widow mini nuke will be the weapon of choice for later as soon as I can spare the coin. Wise they gave these out like in me2 I am currently playing as solider but like sniper rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaBagwell Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I got the Javelin 1 best sniper rifle i have see always you to see peoples bodies through cover and shoot though it Awesome cause you dont have to wait for them to get out of cover to shoot them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mantis IV does 0.75m. The Javelin I is close to the same as Mantis IV. however I would have had to wait to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creative Monsta Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Im pretty close to the end of the game an i was saving up for the widow from spectre office but when i got it i was pretty disappointed. Its far to heavy and affected my recharge time too much and i have found cloak and indcendary powers awesomly powerful when combined with squad mates powers. I reloaded my save and am continuing with the mantis (mods:spare clip /extended barrel) it virtually one shot kills anything and head shots are easy to make, just get rid of barriers and shields first. I aint needed to shoot through cover i just cloak and move. Had a lot of fun with this class. Played sentinel in me2 but this has been epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a mission where you can get the M-98 Widow, iirc this is the same one from ME2. this is the original version of the Widow. I personally love the Javelin too. It requires you to charge for about a second but it allows you to see/shoot through smoke and light cover. It's a one-chamber shot like the Mantis and has the same power as the M-98 Widow but you don't need to mod it for better vision or penetration. I also find the charging part better so I don't jerk my shots if an enemy makes a sudden movement. There is a mission where you get the M-98 (Legion's Rifle) and I know it's near the end; I think it's when you go to Thessia.

Yes that is where it is. it only has 1 shot, it use to be very good in ME2, now it is total waste of space. I mean even 3 shots from the Black Widow are useless on big enemies. It was a 1 shot kill weapon in ME2 and a peashooter in ME3 what gives. I want my Collector Beam heavy beam weapon back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can hit an enemy in the head, most will go down in one shot; it can also hit multiple enemies in a row if you can line your shot up correctly. Banshee's and above take a lot more sadly. I've also found the pistols to be very good in this game, I've literally brought down everything the game has thrown at me with the pistol.

There is a cool pistol that I think is from one of Tali missions it looks like a razor teeth on top of it. And iirc you need to charge it and shoot. Javelin V is about the same as M-98 Widow I in the damage setting Black Widow I is weaker Edited March 11, 2012 by ecto69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
