M-92 Mantis: The basic Mantis rifle is an extremely lethal long-range weapon capable of taking out many enemies with a single headshot. No other weapon is as effective at long ranges. If you need something dead at a distance, the sniper rifle is the weapon to choose. Vanguards will quickly fall in love with this gun. This weapon is great against opponents who charge your positron like Husks and Krogan warriors. Only available to Vanguards and Soldiers as advanced weapons training. M-300 Claymore Shotgun: A VERY powerful shotgun which is also better against armor than the others. It is found during the mission to recruit Samara. M-27 Scimitar Shotgun: Basically a more powerful and faster firing Katana, the Scimitar will make short work of most enemies at close range. M-23 Katana Shotgun: The basic shotgun, it is powerful enough at the beginning of the game but doesnвЂ™t quite cut it against tougher opponents. TheyвЂ™re best against shields and biotic barriers, although the Claymore is good against just about everything. TheyвЂ™re extremely powerful at short ranges, but their power falls off dramatically as range increases. If you need something in front of you dead, shotguns will do it. The low clip size and low overall ammo capacity still limits its usefulness as a primary weapon. It is a suitable weapon for use against heavily armored opponents when youвЂ™ve run out of heavy weapon ammo. M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon: Much more powerful than the Predator, the Carnifex can do a real number on armored enemies. Most other weapons kill quicker, so its often a last resort, particularly for classes with a large selection of better weapons. M-3 Predator Heavy Pistol: The basic pistol, this gun is accurate but low on damage. They tend to be good against armor but so-so against biotic barriers and shields. Pistols are quite accurate, but their low clip sizes and overall ammo capacity limits their use as a primary weapon. This is my favorite heavy weapon, although it is less interesting if your character does not already carry another weapon which is good against armor. It is good against almost all Infantry and can vaporize an un-armored opponent within a second or two. It is obtained via research.Д¬ollector Particle Beam: Gained in a mid-game story mission, the Particle Beam is extremely accurate and does a lot of damage against shields and biotics but not that great against armor. Its great for clearing blobs of enemies and pretty good against bosses as well. What do you expect? It does a ton of damage but is hampered by slow firing speed and by ammo usage. It can be very effective, particularly on levels where you face hoards of fast-moving Husks, but those who use Cryo Ammo will find it a little redundant. M-622 Avalanche: This weapon shoots Cryo rounds which freeze targets. Very effective slow-moving armored bosses like Heavy Mechsand Scions, not as great against weak, fast moving opponents. ML-77 Missile Launcher: A great weapon that fires guided missiles. It is often left behind because there are other heavy weapons which are better suited for any situation you might want the grenade launcher for. This weapon can put a lot of heart on multiple enemies, but it is hard to angle the shots correctly. M-100 Grenade Launcher: Found early in the game as part of the story. They use their own category of ammo called Power Cells, which is harder to come across in the game, so make sure to use your heavy weapons only when you need to. Generally used only for special situations, heavy weapons can have a variety of effects. It is found during TaliвЂ™s loyalty quest on Hardcore difficulty. This makes it particularly effective against boss opponents, who are often shielded in some way. Geth Pulse Rifle: Very effective at most ranges, the Pulse Rifle is strong against shielded enemies. It isnвЂ™t very accurate, however, so long range combat is out of the question. It is among the most deadly weapons at short to medium range and a really good pick for Soldiers. M-76 Revenant: Only available to Soldiers as advanced weapons training, the Revenant has an extreme rate of fire. It is found during the Archangel recruitment mission just after reaching Archangel.

It lacks full auto so isnвЂ™t as good at short range encounters. M-15 Vindicator: A very accurate rifle good for mid to long range combat which fires in 5-round bursts.

It is however surpassed by later upgrades, which are more precise or more brutal depending on your needs. Fully automatic and decent against anything.
