It even lets me CLEARLY see cloaked enemies like the Geth Hunter and Phantoms. The sound of the shot is like music to my ears. I upgraded my Javelin to Javelin X, and BANG! This sweetie packs a punch like none other. I liked it, but due to it one hit per reload, I didn't enjoy it as much as the Black Widow. Then there is it's predecessor, the ultimate M98 Widow. One hit kills except headshots has an awesome 'explosion' animation where the enemies literally breaks and shatters into small pieces.

I played it twice so I could upgrade the Black Widow V to Black Widow X. It is also worth noting that this weapon gains bonuses from the ' Networked AI' ability, further increasing it's damage and reducing it's weight and gains additional benefit from the ability as this is a Geth weapon.

In fact, a level V piercing mod allows the Javelin to fire straight through the floor of array control on Dagger and still get a one-shot body kill to standard enemies on silver. This is most observable in multiplayer, where the battlefields are on different levels and many different locales are present. With the highest-level piercing mod, the Javelin is able to shoot through almost any cover, including thick walls and floors. The Javelin is a very powerful piercing weapon, starting off with its own natural high piercing thickness and high damage when piercing, and when paired with the piercing mod the Javelin can even pierce thin walls to pick off enemies with headshots. In single-player, the Javelin deals roughly the same damage as the M-98 Widow, however in multiplayer it deals about 20% more damage, thus placing the Javelin as the most powerful single-shot weapon in the game, Claymore aside. Multiplayer: Randomly rewarded by purchasing an item pack. (Purchasable at Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies if missed during mission.) Single-player: On the path after a crashed escape pod during Rannoch: Admiral Koris. This will pretty much always one shot any non-special enemy throughout the entire game with a headshot, including in multi-player on high difficulty settings, but takes some practice to get used to the lead time on the shots.ДЄs I said, 'Best' is subjective but my personal opinion on it is The Javelin.

'Best' is of course subjective, 'Highest Damage' will be the Geth Sniper Rifle (called The Javelin) that has the highest damage per hit of any weapon in the game, but a slow attack speed and a 'power up' time when you attack of approximately half a second. It's like the Widow, but focused on shields/barriers instead of just armor, which makes it very good for banshees. You should also check out the Javelin, which is found on Rannoch. (You can also get multiple damage bonuses from cloak if you're fast enough, something impossible with the widow because of the reload). The Black Widow (available from Spectre Requisitions) does almost the same amount of damage as a Widow, but it can fire multiple times without reloading, meaning it should do superior damage if you're more accurate.

The problem with this from a DPS standpoint is that it is single shot / reload. The M98 Widow had the highest DPS of any sniper rifle in the last game, and its probably still one of (if not the) best in this game also. The most important question that you should be asking is, 'How easy is it to hit successive headshots'.ДЄll the damage in the world isn't going to save you if you can't hit jack squat. Asking which sniper rifle has the highest DPS is kind of a bad question, IMO.
