Weapon balance is somewhat similar to MP for non-DLC weapons, so from that standpoint if there is something you like in MP it is probably ok in SP. The 'fake' Suppressor is a noticeably a lot heavier, and I think it deals less damage.) (In the Ambush section of the Citadel DLC, you get a 'fake' Suppressor that is nothing like the 'real' Suppressor. It is a charged-shot weapon, but it has a crazy 500% shield/barrier multiplier (meaning it deals 5x damage to shields and barriers).
Scorpion (Sur'Kesh) can be good for its stagger when it hits.That being said, Pistols are generally better than SMGs: You end up just spamming Throw on health-only enemies, and Warp+Throw (and maybe Cluster Grenades) on everything else.
If you use Liara (Singularity) and Javik (Pull) for most of the game, you will rarely use your own Singularity/Pull. Depending on your preferred Adept build and squadmates, you are pretty much playing without shooting a weapon anyway.īasic Adept builds will be using Throw and Warp, and either Singularity or Pull (I prefer Pull), but mostly Throw and Warp.
