Do not disrespect the needler! It has saved my ass on several occasions in all difficulty levels (except easy, no ones' ass needs saving there). It's the only rapid fire weapon that works well on hunters and elites at midrange. You can stay well out of an elite's effective plasma rifle range and kill him easily with a needler. When you don't have a pistol or sniper rifle and you're up against hunters you can take out one with three clips worth of needles and then get in close to finish the second using melee attacks.
DO NOT DISRESPECT THE NEEDLER! When you need an automatic weapon that actually does more than piss the bad guys off at mid range, the needler will see you through the dark times.
