re: #374 LudwigVanQuixote

You can get a sniper rifle in ME2 as a Vangaurd. I don’t understand?

Really? I never could and that jives with this: masseffect.wikia.com

The main difference between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 is that the Vanguard is now more focused on close combat. This focus on shock force comes at the cost of the durability and combat longevity of the Vanguard as compared to Mass Effect. Vanguards are able to use the following weapons: heavy pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, and heavy weapons. Shotguns mix well with the Vanguard’s signature ability, Charge.
