Armor Shredding Weapons

Try using Incendiary Rounds with your Reegar Carbine. As for the Venom, it doesn't really start to shine until about V or VI. Before then it has a low ammo count and a really bad cool down. However, if you want to try getting used to it now try it on a power
build Destroyer.

And as BAD 2020 said, Venom Shotgun is awesome. It's easily my favorite weapon in the game and pretty much every build of mine has the Venom on it.

What weapon do you use in multiplayer???

Multiplayer is a bit of a different animal.

I'm still going to use armor piercing mods. However, since I play mostly caster classes (Engineer, Adept, etc), I try to maximize my cooldowns. That means using primarily heavy pistols and sub-machine guns.

Typically, for pistols I use either the N7 Eagle or the M-6 Carnifex. For sub-machine guns, I use the N7 Hurricane or the M-12 Locust.

I use to swear by the M-5 Phalanx, but you need to pull the trigger rapidly to take advantage of it's fast firing rate. The Eagle is automatic and is easier on the hands.

But you should probably not take my word for it. As I said, I play a lot of casters. I'm trying to throw down as much Overload or Incinerate as I can as quick as I can. My focus is rarely on weapons except when my powers are cooling.

Honestly...

In single player, I use armor piercing mods on all of Shepards weapons and all of my squad's weapons.

The M-98 Widow is always going to be my favorite when I need absolute armor shredding ability, but even then, I tend to mod it to give it MORE POWER.

Nothing like shooting through an enemy's cover, then through their armor, then through THEM, and hitting the enemy behind them. ^___________^

@ post above the phaeston (which is at lvl seven or eight now) imo has a good damage and balance ratio that it is my main saboteur (who happens to be a turian) weapon, coupled with the X Mantis... although at times I forget I have the thing because the mantis
is sniping too many heads (wouldn't you forget you had a secondary weapon too if you were in the heat of battle?)

Reegar is a great gun but Venom shotgun is better. Nothing even comes close in multiplayer. Level 10 is off the charts. Thats why it is very rare. In story its super beast. Even the hardest difficulty becomes a breeze.

i'll still stick with a Phaeston with drill mod (Would hate to see that thing at level ten) along with the Carnifex for the vorcha setup (Not the engineer)
