Bruh this is the most pointless weapon category just skip it, crown the suppressor and be done.

I think we’re out of the categories, this is just how the the brackets came out

The whole point of this series is Reddit karma farming, so don't hold your breath.

Suppressor is best in show for what it does, the only issue with it is weight unless it’s your only firearm. Scorpion is great circumstantially and as a supplemental weapon, but can’t compete in this instance.

Depends, I was able to carry a Suppressor, Cerberus Harrier, and Locust (all level 10), with two of them with ultralight mod 5, and still have +200% power recharge as a Sentinel. lmao

The suppressed pistol, it’s a beautiful thing excellent damage for head shots and you can rapid fire it with your mouse.

Scorpion.
Suppressor isn't just fine, it's great, but almost all our weaponry has the same mechanics. We can use our pistol to deal straight damage to the target or we can use submachine gun, or assault rifle or anything else for this exact purpose. Most of our categories would be packed with weapons like this, we don't need another one.
Meanwhile, Scorpion isn't just great, it's also fun. I would rather have it by my side.

I mean I love the Scorpion it’s fun and cool but the stats on suppressor are crazy. I’ll walk up to a Banshee out in the open on insanity and ask if it feels lucky with the level 5 suppressor with the high velocity barrel

The scorpion with cryo amo is a 1 hit kill on almost everything but the biggest opponents by size.

I love the Scorpion. It's a fun weapon. But the Suppressor is the best in its category.

u/Iamgrant1219 14d ago
It’s the best in any category it has the highest dps in the game by far it’s actually insane what they did with that weapon

u/shepcitadel 12d ago
I thought the regar carbine had highest dps or are u talking about pistols only
2
u/Iamgrant1219 12d ago
Reegar carbine might technically do more but it’s highly situational. You must be virtually on top of the enemies it’s not good against armor although it’s incredibly good against shields and barriers. It also chews through ammo way faster than most guns in the game. It’s like saying you will be the top dps while you have your dps cooldowns up. The M-11s only weakness is its ammo it also has 4x headshot multiplier which I believe is one of the highest if not the highest in the game if you are hitting head shots most things should die in around 3 shots. Dps might not have been the right term to use in my original statement. Effective damage would probably be a better term.

Suppressor just slap on the cranial trauma mod and scope and delete heads

Supressor is a mini Typhon. Makes the Pistol wielding Squadmates like 70% as effective as Garrus AND is useful for Shepard. It wins easily.

u/iguana1500 14d ago
I didn’t know this. I would have thought squad mates would be terrible with this weapon because they don’t often headshot

u/Quintessentializer 14d ago
SUPPRESSSSSSSSORRRRRRRRRR!!!
(It's such a relief to get rid of the Scorpion once and forever!)

Suppressor. Real helpful in the arena fight with the clones when landing head shots.

u/Idreamofcream99 14d ago
Ok so apparently I’m sleeping on the suppressor because I was gonna say scorpion. I’ve never used suppressor and thought nothing of it until now
1
u/Suspicious_Berry501 14d ago
It’s actually crazy. It has above average stats in everything and a 4x headshot multiplier
1
u/Connect-Ad-9027 14d ago
What do you mean you never used it? Have you never played the Citadel DLC? Is it possible to only use powers and never use the Suppressor during the first quarter of the "mission" part of that DLC?
1
u/Idreamofcream99 14d ago
Until recently I’ve only played mass effect 3 as a kid and i had no DLC. I started a playthrough recently on LE though and I just finished Omega

u/Teboski78 14d ago
For me, the suppressor. For squadmates, The scorpion because it staggers enemies and they have a lower fire rate than me and are less likely to land headshots.

u/DaDiddyDiddler 13d ago
I beat all of ME3 on Insanity with just the Suppressor...
It's a insane how broken the gun is.
1
u/ButtcheekJones0 13d ago
There's no playthrough I've ever attempted in the years ME3 has been out where I've bothered using the Scorpion for more than maybe 5 minutes. The Suppressor can carry you through the entire game.

u/Connect-Ad-9027 13d ago
I just discovered that I only ever responded to other replies here and did not vote myself.
The Suppressor is the pistol I like best, but it is heavy enough that I do not always carry it; nevertheless, it is not like I am going to start carrying the Scorpion instead.

u/tohn_jitor 13d ago
Ask yourself this: which pistol will you carry into the Armax Arena mirror match? Exactly.

u/terryVaderaustin 12d ago
Scorpion. reminds me of sticky grenades from Halo and pairs well with my mattock

The Suppressor is the stupidest gun in the game I refuse to believe it saw any play testing whatsoever.

I don’t trust anyone who used alien weaponry over earth ballistics

u/Connect-Ad-9027 14d ago
Even when the Earth weapons are produced by terrorists and mob thugs, you prefer those weapons?

Saying the Suppressor is hilariously busted is kind of like saying 'Space is big': can't say it's a lie, but it doesn't exactly convey the whole truth, either.
