Dual Ishukone Assault SMG's, Allotek flux grenades, and over 900 armor.
Say hello to the city smasher.
Give it a whirl with dual Calas and giggle to the loot pile.
Have someone else throw the flux, and you bring core locus to clear out stragglers.
None of the dispersion problems of the HMG, still decent DPS up close, where you want to be with a fatty anyway.
Finally, you can ran dual complex sidearm mods, to beef up both weapons at once.
That was how I have ran since uprising came out ,when the HMG went in the crapper. Even though hit detection fixes made it really viable, the penalty compared to the light weapons is too severe, so the dual SMGs still handle business for me. |

Say hello to the city smasher. You know, I came here with the intention of writing a post in defense of HMG fatties. But I have the skills for the SMG thing you're suggesting already...I'm going to have to give that bad boy a try for **** and giggles. Boundless HMG has 48% higher DPS on paper. But hey, I'll try it before I knock it.
I only have prof 4 on my SMG's, but the combo of proto flux and dual damage mods make the twin SMG's very lethal up close.
The biggest difference is that in on/off trigger situations, the SMG's out DPS the HMG by a country mile. Where you lose out is in a sustained fire fight. Two or three levels into SMG sharpshooter will help turn the tide versus shotguns and mass drivers in a pinch. |

I will also have to give this a try. How is your stamina like?
I only have biotic upgrades to level 3 I think, so pretty close to standard.
Given the recent buff to armor, you can easily run over 900 HP armor with a logi. They flux, you core, then mop up whats left.
As long as you remember that you are cutting your optimal range in half, and choose your fights accordingly, it is a very capable setup. Have a logi with a TAR, ScR, or oven just a Duvolle and you can soak enough damage while your range guys do their thing, using cover you can pick apart other heavies.
Even though you are outside of optimal at say 20m, the ability of the SMGs to get consistent hits renders actual DPS quite high as long as you don't waste ammo on shields.
