Each class comes with different perks, and each class had varying passive abiltities called Mastery Powers. If you feel like your playstyle benefits from any of these weapons then go ahead, use them, however I'll just use whatever looks good on my back. In Mass Effect players must choose a class for Commader Shepard to specialize in. The rest are pretty underpowered in my opinion.ĭespite all this I wouldn't factor heavy weapons into your strategy, as they aren't as essential as normal weapons and normal powers. Pro tip: The ones I personally like the most are the M-920 Cain, Arc Projector and Collector Particle Beam. Heavy hitting, massive damage dealers that aren't ammo efficient and will drain your reserves like crazy: The heavy weapons in this game are unofficially divided into two tiers. On a serious note, I won't be going over heavy weapons as in-depth as I would want to, some of these weapons aren't really worth talking about due to how little impact they deliver compared to most normal weapons. In my opinion, this is the best Collector Ship weapon that Soldiers can take.īe warned though, the Widow will have diminishing returns the higher up the difficulty you go, so don't be too shocked when it stops one-shotting some enemy types. Add in the Scimitar into the mix and the Soldier turns into a true one-man-army.

This is important because Soldier already has the Vindicator/Mattock, allowing you to pair two amazing assault rifles with an amazing sniper rifle. The M-98 Widow is obviously amazing for Infiltrators, but Soldier gets to pick this weapon up too. High damage, lots of headshots, lots of dead bodies. Despite being the most badass weapon in this category there isn't much to talk about that hasn't already been said. It's basically the Mantis but with higher penetration and damage, allowing it to one-shot most enemies even on Insanity. Have you ever wanted a portable railgun strapped to your back? Well, the M-98 Widow exists for that sole purpose. The Widow has a massive cult following for a good reason.
