Needler works fine with them too. Sniper not at all.

I have to agree with the guys singing praise for the plasma pistol. The most useful gun in the entire game. It fires faster and is more accurate than the P-rifle, has a greater range than the M-6D and the OC shot reduces the most powerful elites to mere grunts.


LIES!

At the beginning of 2 Betrayals (legendary) I use the shotty to take out the sentinels, takes 5-8 rounds per sentinel. The shotty is much less valuable for the next rounds till the flood show up, hence saving the good as gold PP makes getting past the first wave of Covies much easier.

Other than that, I usually pick up a PR, sentinels are my least favorite thing to kill in the game, so I use something I dont mind toasting out the battery on. If I do not need the needler, then it is great rosy red fun to send sentinels off to the great scrapyard in the sky with a full clip of needles!

Hey womy ! As much as I respect you, man, I think your method is jacked up. :P I think the plasma-to-sentinel is way more worthwhile. Not only does it take out the initial baddies quick and clean, but you've got a little left to dictate the hallway battle. I'd much rather have a shotgun ready for an Elite charge than a PP. I feel safer with that after several errant grenade throws...
(See what I did there, young nerds...disagreeing with a guy in a respectful and technical fashion...)

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

charged pp, take cover. then suprise it with your AR, pistol or shotgun (assuming your playing on legendery otherwise cover isnt needed)
