Reegar Carbine

The Reegar Carbine Shotgun is a shotgun in Mass Effect 3.

Description
This electrical weapon improves upon the arc pistol's design by generating a sustained current on its target. This weapon is named for the quarian Reegar family, whose marines have served valiantly against the geth.

Acquisition

Player Notes

 * The Reegar Carbine is a short range automatic weapon that fires a constant stream of electricity within a short range.
 * It is the only weapon available in multiplayer with a range cap, and due to this cap being low, this weapon will see better use in classes designed to be able to engage in close quarters for sustained periods of time, such as a Vanguard.
 * The Reegar has immense overall power and is capable of killing targets in range in a short amount of time.
 * To compensate for its power, the Reegar burns through its already low ammunition count at an alarming rate. As such, it is highly advised to bring along a high-capacity sidearm. Be aware that it has a slow reload speed too.
 * The low capacity can also be overcome by using Adrenaline Rush to auto reload mid-clip, allowing for a potential 44 shots to be fired off in one burst. However, this burns through ammo very quickly.
 * Most classes move slower when charging and firing the weapon (as with the Revenant). Batarians and Krogan are exempted from this movement penalty and can fire the Reegar while maintaining their normal speed.
 * To overcome the lack of spare ammo, it is recommended to play as a batarian Sentinel or Soldier, with the spare ammo evolutions of Batarian Enforcer.
 * This weapon's cone is wide enough to effectively set off a Geth Pyro's explosive tank fairly consistently which further boosts its usefulness against clustered geth.
 * When first impacting a regular size target it tends to partially stagger them for a brief second.
 * The Reegar is especially effective when used with a vorcha character. The weapon is able to quickly kill enemies, powering their Bloodlust. The vorcha health regeneration also allows them to close in on enemies much more readily than any other character.
 * Adding a pierce mod allows it to kill Guardian as if they were Assault Trooper.
 * Dipite being called a carbine, the Reeger acts more similarly to a flamethrower.
