Assault Rifle: If you decide against the Claymore like I did, replacing the SMG with an AR isn't a bad idea. Sniper Rifle: Don't EVER take the option to use a sniper rifle, seriously if you take a sniper you're defeating the purpose of being a Vanguard.

Vanguard Weapons: Shotgun: Evicerator or Claymore are your best choices, followed by the Scimitar, never use the first shotgun. They are outfitted with L5n implants, enabling them to perform a biotic charge that strikes the opponent with incredible force while bringing the Vanguard in close for close-range combat. Vanguards are feared for their high-risk high-reward combat style, closing quickly on enemies and destroying them at close range with weapons and biotic abilities. The second is that I picked Vanguard as my first class choice and never once regretted it. I chose Vanguard to start off with on for two very big reasons: First being that since I look at a lot of different forums I've noticed people are either quick to judge or don't understand the mechanic behind the class. I'm also not going to incluse spoiler tags unless it is deemed necessary. I firmly believe these classes to be equal aside from learning curve, and by helping people understand the classes better, that means the playing field is a little bit level.

This includes the best weapons, more or less in the form of a rank system, what skills should be taken, in the form of builds and a top 5 list of people for your squad. I'd like to inspire a line of threads that will discuss each individual class in detail.
