While I was playing the beta I, of course, played the Devil's Lair Strike. As a reward I got the Cydonia AR3. This gun was a beast.
The Cydonia AR3 mowed down enemies with the perfect blend of impact and fire rate. When upgraded, it zoomed in to become what I could only describe as a full auto scout rifle, a gun with high damage, a steady fire rate continuously belching out death, and better stability than any gun in its class.
It was perfect for any situation. Got a horde of Hive Thralls running at you? spray your Cydonia AR3 and rain a maelstrom hot led on them. Three Fallen Vandals that don't see you yet? Zoom in and rack up some precision kills. The Cydonia AR3 gave me 22 crucible kills and 11 assists. This gun is a boss.
In the Alpha everyone talked about the Galahad C. The Cydonia AR3 is the beta's Galahad C. I just hope they don't nerf it. Comment if you also like the Cydonia AR3, or if you disagree with me. Thanks!
P.S. Click on the link to see my best weapon loadout. I cover PVP and PVE. Spoiler alert: I reccomend the Cydonia AR3.

Was the Galahad c replaced with Galahad b just wondering and I never even got to get a shingen c or cydonia ar3 so I can't say but I rocked with me trax mallus iii
-
I loved the cydonia as well. I kept switching between that for PvP and a scout for PvE
-
I preferred the Shingen simply due to the bonus. My Cydonia had a clip of 22 (I think...) and it's bonus was more accuracy while crouching. My Shingen (Or as I call it, "The Super Soaker") had a clip of 42 and it's bonus was more damage for the second half of the clip. So...yeah...about that bonus damage.... boonjai gimmy pls

I preferred the shingen c and Galahad c personally

Cydonia AR3 Trajen-C Copperhead Mk. 32 Jigoku SR3 My pride and joy During the beta

1 ReplyJust think...If we think that the guns in the Beta are awesome then we'll go wild for the final release

That gun is pretty sweet, I have that and a Jigoku SR3 Scout that has increased zoom when crouched. I use that as my sniper and flip between a shotty and a fusion rifle as my special.
-
By the end of the Beta I only went to the Devil's Lair three times. I had 9 Cydonia AR3s, 4 Shingen-Cs, and pretty much 2 copies of every single Uncommon and Common Primary Weapon ASIDE FROM THE JIGOKU SR3. I could not get my hands on the SR3 which does the single most damage per bullet as an uncommon primary weapon and it frustrated me. I got the SR3-L, but it does less damage.
-
Jigoku sr3 /shingen c / cydonia I switch between Jigoku and shingen, depends on map.
-
Their must be different types of Shingen-C and Cydonia AR3. The Shingen I found early in the game and only does 42 damage. The Cydonia AR3 I found after I capped my character and it is level 9 and was unable to use.
-
Agreed by far my favorite weapon in the beta
-
1 ReplyYou got 22 kills with cydonia I got 38 with Shingen c do the math
-
Shingen-C is awesome when you upgrade it
-
Shingen-c is better
-
I agree it the best gun I've used :) Mine had the ability to increase accuracy the longer the trigger is held down. Loved using it on the moon to take out those pesky snipers or long distant shots on interceptor.
-
The AR3 in crucible was successful do to its fire rate with weapon damge being normalized. I prefer a hand cannon but found its hit detection faulty in MP. So it came down to my LR3 alot lol. The last thing they saw was a big red eye of doom.
-
I found that same weapon. A cydonia with increased damage while ADS. (But slower rate of fire) From a quick trial i found it had the exact same DPS as my other auto rifle... Cant remember the name right now. Amazing for PVE. But i didnt find it as effective as the same weapon without the mod in PvP, (but I couldnt remove it so I had to carry another rifle for PvP.) And yet still, i just cant give up the scout rifle.
-
2 RepliesOnce I got the Cydonia, I never looked back. I loved using that weapon, barely any recoil from it.
-
Just to be clear here the rifle itself is good but you're really just talking about the upgrades. It isn't the Cydonia-AR3 that's doing the heavy lifting. It's the upgrades that you randomly get on the weapon that make the biggest difference.
-
Edited by ColdAtrophy: 7/30/2014 2:45:33 PMSahara AR-3 (very high RoF) was my favorite. The recoil was a beast to control at first but once I got over it, I found it to be extremely effective, even in PVP.
-
3 RepliesAre there multiple Cydonia variants with different stat distributions? Because the Cydonia I had had a much lower Impact stat than my Galahad (which became my Iron Banner weapon of choice for its high Damage per Bullet. Almost half bar of Impact!). Nothing like slamming headshots for 130~ damage on full auto.
-
4 RepliesI liked that weapon but preferred either the shingen or the Jigoku over the cydonia. I just like the better control or stability of these two over the cydonia. All three are great and I feel they all warrant situation uses that places them at the top of their game over the others. Do you feel that they are mostly equal except for situational circumstances?
-
6 RepliesFor me a great firepower gun is not the best. Stability is, cause if you can shoot in the head without fling away, you can get kills easily.
-
2 RepliesYea its a beast! Mine had aiming down the scope slows the fire rate perk n then upgraded the to red dot and also fire rate goes slower. Literally had no recoil n more damage. It was a beast
-
I know i bought mine from the gunsmith. It is most op gun ever
-
2 RepliesMy Shingen-C was better than my Cydonia. Hands down. Did more damage per clip, when the Cydonia had a damage buff and the Shingen didn't. Goes through the clip faster than the Cydonia, so DPS is higher. My Shingen had the exact same range as the Cydonia, and better stability.
