I've started to like the Piranha as a backup shotgun on my Turians.
I've used the Vindicator once since this game came out and I hated it. I guess I'll give it another shot with this buff, but in the context of buffs to both the Mattock and Phaeston, which are both ARs that I love, I don't know if I'll use it regularly.
I dont like that Piranna but maybe there will be an improvement. I tried out the Vindicator some yesterday and it is noticable; gun is still crummy. Need to try the Phaeston and Mattock.
I did notice the change in the Phaeston got more stopping power that for sure
I went back and tried out the Piranna and the Vindicator last night. The Piranna makes for a nasty back up weapon when used on the N7 Soldier. I forget trying to aim the thing. The best bet is to simply shoot from the hip. Well, it worked awesome on the couple silver runs I ran with it.
I still won't sign off on the Vindicator but it is usable on my Male Quarian engineer due to it's ballance and down range accuracy.
