Yeah, I only found out because I screwed up on my load for that mission and instead of the N7 Valiant, I put the Incisor rifle and was able to kill the driver inside XD. The Valiant would have destroyed the Atlas's armour in 3 shoots with the AP bullets even on Hardcore.

Well, the Phalanx and the Tempest really do weigh next to nothing, especially on X and the Viper is one of the lightest Snipers in the game as well, so I can see those 200% with the proper build. Probably going to try it myself, but I just love my current load of Black Widow and Phalanx XD.

I used to have a similar setup in the first runthrough of the game but I just couldn't stand the longer power recharge speeds.

I actually used to have the Mantis/Phalanx/Tempest combo (still +200% recharge speed) but I ended up going with the Viper simply because it did 80% of the damage the Mantis did but shot twice as fast. Even on Insanity I could take out anything besides Phantoms, Atlases, Banshees, Brutes, Geth Primes and Pyros with one shot after I quickly disintegrated their shields with Energy Drain. And I put the Piercing mod on the Phalanx so I could get rid of shield guys and Brutes faster.

I guess I'll have to use the Incisor Rifle to get that achievement quick since anything else will probably be too strong.

My MP Viper is almost to X as well and when it hits that i'm going to switch the Mantis for it, though I wouldn't mind getting a Black Widow one of these days .

Even with all the BW's weight, it's still an amazing SR with the same piercing capacity of the normal Widow. At X, the BW should weight similar to the Mantis X no?

I think the BW only goes up to a V in Multiplayer. But yeah I think a maxed BW would probably weigh about the same as the Mantis.

It goes all the way to X, I've seen one in a MP gold match. The guy was unstoppable with it (although he did have a N7 rating of 830s)
