N7 Typhoon/ME3SP

Description
The Typhoon is a distinctive light machine gun featuring a face shield to protect the shooter from headshots. Its power and recoil are so notorious that it includes a high-tech kinetic reducer to fight muzzle climb. Since the reducer tries to limit all motion by the weapon, marksmen do not engage it while moving and instead reduce the recoil only while they are in cover.

Acquisition
The N7 Typhoon is available after downloading the Mass Effect 3: Groundside Resistance Pack.

Player Notes

 * Ashley Williams is extremely effective with this weapon. By activating Marksman, she causes the Typhoon to fire twice as fast as it normally does.
 * The N7 Typhoon is the heaviest assault rifle currently available in the game, making it less practical for power-dependent classes to use. Pairing the Typhoon with another weapon is not recommended unless that weapon is exceptionally light or the player is not concerned with weight and power cooldowns.
 * The Typhoon can be likened to an improved version of the M-76 Revenant in terms of firepower and bullet spread. While in cover, it can be used as a moderately effective mid-to-long range weapon. Using it in cover is highly recommended.
 * The Typhoon has a native penetration of 25cm, which lets it tear through Guardian shields, armor plating, and very thin cover without the aid of a piercing mod.
 * The Typhoon receives a damage multiplier of 1.5 when it reaches its maximum firing rate.
 * Furthermore, the Typhoon deals an additional 50% bonus damage against targets with any protection (shields, barriers or armor). This make the Typhoon surpass even the Cerberus Harrier in terms of sustained DPS.
 * Like the Geth Plasma SMG and the Geth Spitfire, the N7 Typhoon has a slow rate of fire when the trigger is first pulled, before spooling up to its high fire rate. It fires about four rounds before doing so. This trait is very useful when trying to accurately engage an enemy at range since it is very easy to fire single shots at this lower rate of fire.
