#MASS EFFECT 2 MATTOCK UPGRADE#

This is complemented by using an Assault Rifle Precision Scope, which allows consistent headshots. It also has considerable recoil when shooting while on the move, however, while in cover, it is stable enough to land consistent, precise shots.Clip capacity is lower than the M-8 Avenger and Phaeston, meaning you should take a slightly more conservative approach with ammunition.The Vindicator packs a good punch and has better-than-average accuracy, making it a good hybrid between the M-96 Mattock and the M-8 Avenger.The Vindicator is a semi-automatic weapon one three-round burst is fired per trigger pull, the trigger can't be held to continuously fire.This is especially true for the Soldier class as the Mattock works particularly well during Adrenaline Rush. The M-96 Mattock makes the Vindicator somewhat obsolete it has a much higher fire rate and fulfills the same role of tactical mid-to-long range combat.If the number of rounds left in the current clip is four or five, the next shot fired will be a burst of all remaining rounds, instead of the usual three.However, it does improve grouping over range, and allows the player to successfully land all three rounds more often, reducing ammo expenditure. The Vindicator's crosshair is displayed as the narrowest possible with the interface.

#MASS EFFECT 2 MATTOCK UPGRADE#

The Targeting VI upgrade is not as critical on this weapon as on the other rifles, as it is already very accurate.

They are also unaffected by the low ammunition capacity.

This is usually the best weapon for any teammate that can use assault rifles as they are very accurate with it, fire frequently, and deal high damage even with the 45% decrease in damage squadmates suffer.

Consequently, the Vindicator is at its best in the hands of a Soldier, since in addition to having access to the other weapon types, the Soldier's Adrenaline Rush maximizes the accuracy and damage of every available round. Additionally the player should make use of all their weapons, favoring sniper rifles at long range and shotguns at close range.

To compensate for the low ammo reserve, the player must strive for accuracy and attempt to deliver a high percentage of headshots.

The Vindicator's rate of fire is much higher when the player repeatedly pulls the trigger as opposed to holding it down.

This limitation can become crippling when fighting enemies that don't drop ammo such as husks, varren and klixen, as well as extremely durable enemies or hard targets, such as krogan or YMIR Mechs. It can carry only 105 rounds worth of spare thermal clips, while the M-8 allows for up to 440 rounds.

The main weakness of the Vindicator is its low thermal clip capacity (only 24 rounds, compared to the 40 round clips in the M-8 Avenger).

It was not designed for 'spray-and-pray' combat. The game reflects this by making the Vindicator more of a mid-range weapon. In real life, battle rifles are commonly used as designated marksman rifles to cover mid ranges (300-600 meters), between the range of assault rifles and sniper rifles.

The game calls the Vindicator a battle rifle.

Its burst-fire mode removes the issue of recoil, but this factor also makes the Vindicator less effective at close quarters or against large numbers of enemies.

The Vindicator has superior accuracy and stopping power when compared to the M-8 Avenger.

Squadmates deal 45% less damage with the Vindicator than if wielded by Shepard.

This weapon can be used by Garrus, Grunt, Legion, Samara/ Morinth, and Zaeed. The M-15 Vindicator is found on a couch in the room where Shepard meets Archangel on Omega. Manufactured by Elanus Risk Control Services for the Blue Suns mercenary group, the Vindicator is quickly gaining popularity in the Terminus Systems. Deadly at any range, and effective against armor, shields, and biotic barriers. A battle rifle favored by assassins and elite mercenaries that fires in highly accurate five -round bursts and can be pulsed for rapid fire.
