Putting a scope on the Talon allows you to go for headshots, which can do wonders for its damage output if you fire from cover. The Predator can actually have a higher DPS than the Avenger if you spam the trigger and aim primarily for headshots. While it can be a bit finnicky with lag, the Acolyte is a perfect weapon for biotics classes, boasting very low weight and extreme effectiveness against the shields biotics are generally weak against.
