However, in Legendary Edition it will be available for purchase at science stations.

As a DLC weapon, it was originally only available through the Firepower Pack. Incredibly accurate with a low recoil, the M-96 Mattock is a semi-automatic hybrid weapon with an assault rifle's low heat production and a sniper rifle's efficient accuracy.

It can sometimes be found in the collections of the incredibly wealthy and is available only for Soldier Class Shepard and can be found and chosen during the 'Collector Ship' mission. The Revenant has very low accuracy, despite its moderate recoil.В Firing rounds at 700 RPM, it is incredibly effective against massive, heavy-armored enemies like YMIR Mechs, gunships and Scions.ДЄ very rare weapon, the Revenant is protected from replication by Fabrication Rights Management technology, and uses tech that isn't as readily available as other weapons tech.

Running out of ammo while using this weapon is almost impossible, but it does have its downsides. With the largest magazine of all the assault rifles, the Revenant ammo clip holds 80 shots with a base spare ammo capacity of 480 and 527 with the Armor Pack upgrade. Useful against armor, shields and barriers, the M-76 Revenant does 1.4 percent bonus damage against armor, and 1.2 percent against shields and barriers. Making up for the low-end ammo capacity requires the player to take accurate shots, which are much easier with the Vindicator than other assault rifles.В In swarms of enemies, however it won't be near as effective because many enemy swarms (likes husks) don't drop ammo, meaning Shepard runs the risk of emptying their ammo.

One of the Vindicator's drawbacks is that it has a very low thermal clip capacity, holding only 24 rounds per clip with a default spare ammo capacity of 96 and 105 with the Armor Pack.

Originally manufactured by Elanus Risk Control Services for the Blue Suns Mercenaries, the VindicatorВ became popular with other mercenary groups and assassins.В Shepard can find the Vindicator on Omega during the 'Archangel' mission. Effective against armor, shields and biotic barriers, it does 1.25 percent damage against each and fires a 36.8 base damage. The M-15 Vindicator is often used by assassins and mercenaries because each five-roundВ burst can be fired with incredible accuracy at any range. With the targeting upgrade, it becomes equally effective at mid-range as well.В The bonus damage modifier isВ 1.25 percent against shields, armor and barriers, allowing Shepard to spread damage across large numbers of weaker enemies to take them out and advance the fight. Because the recoil is on the lower end, long-range accuracy is much higher than other assault rifles. However,В along with the Geth Pulse Rifle, it has the lowest base damage, dealing just 10.8 damage per round. The Avenger has the second largest ammo capacity at 400 rounds, 440 with the Armor Pack. It can be acquired later in the game for players who specialize in assault rifle training. As the default starting weapon for soldiers, the Avenger becomes accessible during the 'Freedom's Progress' mission after Shepard's first meeting with the Illusive Man, but only if the player character is a Soldier. Manufactured by Elkoss Combine, the M-8 Avenger is one of the game's most accessible and common assault rifles.
