It isn't THAT heavy, but it does good damage and has moderate range however, the grall spike launcher and geth plasma shotgun completely outclass it in both range and damage. Even on insanity, 9 shots from a paladin X will kill a brute. It also absolutely wrecks armored enemies. The carnifex has less damage and weighs more, so the paladin is just a better version in both respects. The paladin is the single highest damage to weight ratio gun in the game and can very easily fill the role of a sniper rifle (when you attach a scope) with almost no weight. I play a soldier, I've already beaten the game twice, and I've used every weapon on insanity against both reapers and cerberus. To be honest, the spectre weapons are not the 'best' in their category, but they are usually the most versatile or fill an awkward role in that weapon category. Note that the Javelin has its own perks that might make it competitive with the Black Widow as well, depending on your needs. Since the reload time is pretty significant for both rifles, if you enjoy using the Widow I'd recommend trading up.

The Black Widow has a higher sustained DPS than the M-98 Widow due to its three-round clip, but the damage per shot is lower.

The M-11 Wraith doesn't stand out in any significant way, so I'd recommend avoiding it altogther.

The M-77 Paladin available for purchase has the highest burst DPS (and second-highest sustained DPS) in the game, with the same clip size as the Scorpion (which has slightly more per-shot damage), so you might consider buying it.

If you're looking for a direct comparison of the stats, you may be interested in this spreadsheet. While they're intended to be quality military hardware, they don't completely outshine the other weapons like the Spectre gear did in Mass Effect 1. There aren't drastically more powerful or otherwise useful weapons anywhere else in the game, but these weapons might not suit your play style or be effective enough in certain areas for your needs. So, if you're in the market for only one of these weapons, you can definitely make your purchase later on in the game without much regret. However, I'll note that prior to entering into the final mission, despite having upgraded my primary weapons, bought two sets of armour (for the related achievement), and endulging myself with the world's most expensive fish feeder, I still have about 650,000 credits to burn. Now, as to whether or not they're worth the cost.that's a judgment call. I can't reliably speak to the assault rifle and pistol (the pistol is described as having more damage, at least), but in the case of the Black Widow sniper rifle, the primary benefit is the extended clip size coupled with the significant base damage of the Widow itself.

The three weapons listed there are all that's made available from that terminal for the duration of the game. For example I just found the Rosenkov Materials Greaves there for 5000, they're only there because I missed them in a mission, they're not Spectre specials. Specre Requisitions also gets a few other items if you miss armor/mods on missions, but there's nothing special about them. The fire rate and capacity boosts seem to make this one worth it. Slightly modified version of the M-98 Widow Sniper Rifle, this gun has higher capacity for more bullets between reloads, higher fire rate, slightly less damage per shot and it's slightly less accurate.

You can pick up the Carnifex for free during the mission Arre: Ex Cerberus Scientists so I have no idea why you'd buy this honestly. It's not amazingly superior to the Eviserator, which is in comparison extremely easy to get.Ī super light, super accurate, high damage pistol, this appears to be identical to the M-6 Carnifex. Modest weight requirement, very high damage shotgun with otherwise average stats. This is basically a better version of the Eviserator but it has slightly less capacity.

They're basically black-market versions of other weapons in game, slightly modified. They're good, but not always uniquely amazing. There's just the 3 you can get at the start.
