The Buahaw Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 No Black Widow for me either, (not even the original Widow) still rocking the Mantis. (VIII or IX) Did pick up the N7 pistola from last weekends challenge tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowSHOWERS Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I saved up for my first spectre pack the day the game came out and the first one i bought gave me the black widow, I LOVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTemplar Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Oh wow ultra rare? Huh Guess I should feel lucky that I pulled a M-11 Wraith from my first specter pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur360 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just got it today and I love it can do 3 headshots now instead of 1 before reloading > : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oooo yeah Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The Black Widow is good but the Widow X is better. I'm sure on bronze or silver the BW is awesome but bring it on gold and all 3 shots in the head of a rocket trooper and he's still alive. The BW at level X would be a different story but that's an impossibility with the random unlock system. The Widow X can kill a prime in 3 shots on Gold difficulty. 2 shots on Silver. The BW runs out of ammo quicker because it takes more shots to kill each enemy. I'm glad I unlocked the BW as it's really great for bronze and silver, but for gold nothing compares to a fully leveled ordinary widow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niko da bos Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 arrg i am so sick of the Mantis X you know how many people i've seen like N7 - 25, and they unlock the widow that quick.. im just dumbfounded at how many times went on a spending spree of like 200k credits and got nothing (im at like N7300 or something). at this rate, i will be able to just fucking buy it inside a recruit pack. because it will be THE LAST DAMN THING TO UNLOCK. grrrrrr bright side, i liked that N7 hurricane much more than i thought i would. its a recoil machine, but the rate of fire just destroys shields + barriers.

tkhbecker Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I got a big F' you from the Resurgence Packs so far this week. Had to end up buying M$P before they finally gave me an Asari Justicar. After that I started doing just straight Spectre. Got BW II and BW III within 5 SPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffTech Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm up to the BW 3 so far, & I think lvl 5 on the M98. I have the Saber & several other weapons that're considered to be "top end" To be honest, both Widows are pretty poor in comparison to some other lower ranked weapons... I think ppl like the idea of having one more than anything else. I used to use the Carnifax 2 until I got lucky with some packs. So I currently use the Carnifax 5 with a lvl 5 barrel & lvl 5 scope. Use it with the Salarian Engineer, with a rail amp, ammo perk (enemy dependent) & armour perk of your choice, & you'll regularly out score snipers... even if they have the all hallowed Widow. That's on gold as well... In fact, the only weapon that I find comparable, is the Geth shotty with a choke & barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be better off putting either increased spare ammo or shredder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to end up buying M$P before they finally gave me an Asari Justicar. After that I started doing just straight Spectre. Got BW II and BW III within 5 SPs. I got one last night in an ordinary Spectre pack, played two matches with it and err, don't like it... I only need the Krogan Vanguard now (not that I'll ever use it). Anyway, wouldn't mind getting the BW, have the regular Widow I which is nice. I'm sure with a couple of mods the BW can be equally devastating.

mrj3d Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't have it but man I wish I did. I use the Widow A LOT. I play it in a few different classes, I love that weapon. Don't tend to get too lucky with the packs. I still don't have all the new characters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yac Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 the GPS has very little effect with the choke since it will home in on the target. You will be better off putting either increased spare ammo or shredder. i never really noticed much difference using the shredder with the Geth shotgun, was starting to wonder if it even gained any armor bonus considering the nature of the gun To be honest, both Widows are pretty poor in comparison to some other lower ranked weapons... I think ppl like the idea of having one more than anything else. i've yet to find another sniper comparrible to either, the damage they can put out even at the lower gun levels along with the natural piercing abilities and the 3 round clip of the BW make them very useful IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahroo3 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i never really noticed much difference using the shredder with the Geth shotgun, was starting to wonder if it even gained any armor bonus considering the nature of the gun The GPS ignores armor reduction effects and cannot pierce object but will gain a damage bonus from using Armor Reduction abilities.

But I still find the PtWr of a good pistol will out perform a Widow in almost every instance Against infantry the heavy pistols such as the Canifex and Paladin will outshine a Widow since most of the damage from the Widow is lost due to overkill or shield gating. When fighting Heavies thought you will find high powered weapons such as the Snipers/Shotguns will be much more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invincible25x Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I have gotten the Black Widow 3 times so far using the Spectre Packs that cost 99000 credits while trying to get the new characters. I started using it with my Geth Infiltrator and I like it a lot so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merch Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Four out of the six ultra-rare weapons have been the stupid shotgun. Life sucks. I'd like to try the Javelin with the geth weapon damage bonus, still though it's probalby not worth having to charge it. Is there a consensus on whether the Valiant or Blackwidow is the best semi-auto sniper? I don't have either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeRugburn Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have an N7 score well over 500, not sure what it is since I havent played in a few weeks, and I have spent well over 25 million credits and I still have not gotten a black widow or a javelin.

Got my first black widow yesterday with my N7 rank reaching 1000. Though i got 3 javelins before that. But i don't use sniper rifles, so i don't care.
