Talk:M-11 Suppressor/ME3SP

Raw Damage Numbers
The following data, which I extracted from the game's data files (this also takes into account all of the weapon balance changes from the last SP patch), applies to the single-player game (MP is a different story).

M-11 Suppressor, I: 383.3 M-11 Suppressor, X: 412.2 M-11 Suppressor ROF: 600

M-3 Predator, I: 58.8 M-3 Predator, X: 73.5 M-3 Predator ROF: 500

M-6 Carnifex, I: 276.1 M-6 Carnifex, X: 345.1 M-6 Carnifex ROF: 100

M-77 Paladin, I: 424.9 (the Paladin was buffed in the patch; pre-patched, a Paladin I actually does less damage than a Suppressor I) M-77 Paladin, X: 531.1 M-77 Paladin ROF: 100

A few things to note here: First, most guns gain 25% damage from level I to X. The suppressor gains only around 7.5%. This is why, as I noted earlier, the performance of the M-11 relative to other guns changes between I and X.

Second, and probably most importantly, the Suppressor's DPS is off-the-charts insane because it fires FASTER than a Predator and does Paladin-ballpark damage. Of course, that's tempered by ammo issues, but in terms of overall damage, nothing comes close. (It has to or else the Citadel Ambush mission would be even harder than it already is.)

Needless to say, this gun in the hands of your squadmates (who have no ammo issues) is very OP. Try it.
