N7 Valiant/ME3SP

Description
The Valiant is a sniper rifle tested by Alliance soldiers during a series of harsh survival exercises on the planet Kruljaven. This streamlined weapon employs a sophisticated fire-control system that improves accuracy by stabilizing the barrel during targeting. Although this comes at the cost of reduced capacity and rate of fire, most soldiers find the increase in precision and quick reloading time a worthy tradeoff.

Acquisition
The N7 Valiant is included in the N7 Collector's Edition Pack as a bonus item for players who order the Collector's or Digital Deluxe Edition of Mass Effect 3.

Player Notes

 * The N7 Valiant has very low recoil, much less than the other multi-shot sniper rifles. This means that the Valiant can quickly and dependably put shots on target with little effort in wrestling the aim between shots.
 * The Valiant is in fact accurate enough to be fired quite effectively from the hip, allowing the user to pick off enemies from cover without the need to go into scope and hunt for the target.
 * The Valiant's rate of fire is high enough to get all three rounds off with Tactical Cloak up. The cloak will wear off just after the third shot is fired.
 * The drawback of this weapon is that it has a constant spare ammo amount of thirty regardless of the upgrade level. However, a single clip obtained yields seven to eight shots. Pay attention to resupply after each engagement and the risk of running out of ammo can be minimized. Ammo capacity upgrades from armor or Intel upgrades still increase capacity, however.
 * The Valiant works excellently with a Concentration Mod: with the time dilation for each shot, you can land headshots every time with a relatively rapid rate of fire and quick reload. The mod also gives a significant damage bonus. Combining that with a spare ammo or Extended Barrel mod makes the Valiant a fantastic sniper rifle for lower difficulties and a versatile one for higher difficulties.
