The Striker on Platinum? How recently did you witness someone successfully using it on the Platinum difficulty setting? I was trying it last week out of desperation but found it to be next to useless on any thing silver and above, It was great for the Missile Glitch due to the fast rate of fire and large clips size but conventionally, I prefer the Falcon due to the stunning effect and large blast radius not to mention being able to ricochet shots around obstacles in order to kill enemies out of your line of sight, sadly though it too lacks enough damage output to be truly effective on Platinum but seems be the best I have at the moment aside from a lvl 1 Typhoon, which I must say despite its Lvl 1 status I Find really effective on the destroyer. After 5 months of trying consecutively I am more hoping for a better AR to be released in the future though. Ok thanks as do I maybe if I hope and pray NOT to get it, the game will give it to me lol. What do you think is the best weapon in the game? Let me know in the comments! Geth with Geth weapons), so take what IвЂ™ve written with a grain of salt and use whatever gun you вЂњlikeвЂќ best :) IвЂ™d like to end this post with a caveat вЂ“ gameplay is often different from what the numbers actually say вЂ¦ sometimes you just like how a certain type of gun вЂњhandlesвЂќ or certain classes are better with certain guns (ie.

You should also consider the Paladin with a scope вЂ“ it has greater DPS than either the Widow or the Black Widow and comparable one-shot damage to the Black Widow. Black Widow вЂ“ the Widow has a greater DPS and one-shot damage than the Black Widow, making the Widow an overall better sniper rifle. Assuming you donвЂ™t have as good aim, the Valiant is a great rifle with high DPS and decent one-shot damage. Assuming you can always headshot when you want to and you rarely miss, then the Javelin is far and away the best Sniper Rifle with huge one-shot damage and high DPS. ItвЂ™s hard to say which is the best Sniper Rifle вЂ“ I guess it all depends on how good your aim is.

Of the top 10 SSK weapons, the Crusader, Valiant, Paladin, Saber, and Javelin top the list (note that neither the Widow nor Black Widow made it). However, you do also want to take into account reload time and rate of fire, so letвЂ™s factor in DPS as well. The Javelin and Widow do the most damage for a single shot вЂ“ they can SSK husks, cannibals, guardians, geth troopers, and assault troopers. The Acolyte can actually take out shields with one to two hits on: This, in addition to it being an extremely lightweight gun, makes it pretty powerful. **I would rank the Acolyte higher than the numbers actually dictate because of the 5x multiplier on Shields/Barriers. *Though the Geth Plasma Shotgun and Krysae Sniper Rifle do some of the highest one-shot damage, they do NOT have Headshot Bonuses, so they didnвЂ™t make the top 10. The Headshot Bonus is a 2.5 multiplier on your regular one shot damage: For that, you have to look at Headshot Bonus and Damage. Some people prefer sniping вЂ“ while I donвЂ™t think sniping is an effective strategy on Platinum in general, if I were to do it, I would be concerned with Single Shot Kills (SSK).

The top 10 are dominated by Shotguns and Assault Rifles, with only one Sniper Rifle, Pistol, and SMG each on the list. Notice that I did not put the Typhoon on the list вЂ“ thatвЂ™s because its DPS is variable from 300-900 points, so even at average, it doesnвЂ™t make it to the top 10. If you look at the DPS for each weapon at Level X ( accounting for Reload Cancel вЂ“ see my previous post here), the best weapons are:ДЄs you can see, the Piranha is a clear leader, followed not-so-closely by the Cerberus Harrier. This is because so many enemies swarm at once, youвЂ™ll need to take them down rapidly in order to not get overrun. The most important factor on Platinum is Damage Per Second (DPS). Here is my analysis of the FACTS, assuming you plan on relying on weapons rather than powers ( raw data here): Everyone always wants to know what is the best weapon in ME3 Online Multiplayer for beating Platinum вЂ¦В AВ lot of people would say it depends on your gameplay style, but I say there are some clear winners in each category.
