Cerberus Harrier/ME3SP

Description
These Cerberus-modified Mattock rifles are fully automatic. Cerberus gunsmiths reined in the recoil issues, resulting in a gun that stays on target but delivers slightly less punch per round than a standard Mattock. As such, the weapon is typically utilized by Cerberus’s elite troopers who train constantly to make every burst count.

Acquisition
The Cerberus Harrier is available after downloading the Mass Effect 3: Firefight Pack.

Player Notes

 * The Cerberus Harrier suffers from lack of ammo, but this can be countered with appropriate armor pieces, the thermal clip mod, or upgrading the weapon.
 * On higher difficulties this gun may be a superior choice than other powerful assault rifle such as the Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle or M-96 Mattock because of its considerable accuracy and damage. It also has less weight, which makes it an acceptable weapon for power-oriented characters.
 * The Harrier is a good choice for a squadmate as well, since they don't have to worry about running out of spare ammo. Ashley and Garrus can cause major damage with this weapon depending on how their passive abilities are evolved.
 * The damage and recoil of the Harrier exceed that of the Mattock, making short burst fire preferable over automatic fire. Adding a Stabilization Dampener and a Scope will go a long way towards remedying any issues with the weapon's recoil.
