The N7 Hurricane is a submachine gun in Mass Effect 3 and a pistol in Mass Effect: Andromeda.
N7 Hurricane is one of those SMGs that is not accurate and does not bring high damage but happens to have a very high fire rate and be very good for suppressive fire.
Its main strength is the fire rate that automatically turns this gun into a close range weapon.
Another feature that proves the statement above is N7 Hurricane’s extremely high recoil that makes it almost impossible to use at longer distances.
It also might not be the deadliest weapon in the class but with a couple of upgrades the problems can be solved.
Also, its effectiveness can be further improved when using SMG High-Velocity Barrel.
Probably, the biggest downfall of this gun is its firing technique because each bullet fired counts as 2 points of ammunition. In other words, with a standard clip of 40 bullets you are going to have only 20 shots. Also, if for some reason the number of bullets is not even in your clip, N7 Hurricane won’t fire if there is only one bullet in it.

In the Legendary Edition it is available from the Spectre Requisitions terminal in the Citadel Embassies for a base amount of 75,000 credits.

- The Hurricane effectively only has a thermal clip size of 20, as each bullet fired uses 2 rounds from the thermal clip. This also means that if the magazine is augmented by the use of a Level III SMG Magazine Upgrade, due to a glitch, the Hurricane will have a magazine capacity of 63, and it will not fire if there is just 1 round of ammunition left in the magazine. This behavior will also cause automatic reloading to fail, necessitating the use of the Reload button.
- The Hurricane is a well-balanced SMG in most respects, sporting decent damage and an excellent rate of fire with an average clip size and weight.
- The main strength of this weapon is its extremely high rate of fire (far higher than any other submachine gun) which makes this SMG unmatched for close-quarters combat.
- The Hurricane also has a very high level of damage for its class, which further strengthens its close quarters combat abilities. It can even be used to engage armored targets with decent effectiveness.
The close quarters effectiveness can be further improved when using a SMG High-Velocity Barrel.
- The Hurricane's main weakness is that it has extremely high recoil, even more so when not zoomed in. For this reason, firing the gun from the hip is not recommended anywhere beyond close range. Take cover to hit anything around mid-range, or fire in short bursts when zooming in from a distance. The SMG Recoil System added by the Mass Effect 3: Leviathan DLC can help alleviate this problem. However, using the SMG Recoil System will render you unable to equip certain other mods such as the SMG Ultralight Materials at the same time.
- The Hurricane depletes ammunition very quickly due to the high rate of fire, finishing your entire reserve in seconds. Maintaining this weapon requires frequent ammo resupplying. It probably makes the Hurricane less useful as a primary weapon for sustained assault but more useful as a secondary weapon for quickly stripping shields or barriers. Equipping the SMG Heat Sink and SMG Magazine Upgrade can counter this weakness.
- The Hurricane works very well as a weapon for companions, since their unlimited ammunition negates the above weakness. They also handle recoil much better than the player, as well as being more accurate in general. It's an excellent way to increase the damage per second of squadmates who are less able to deal damage with weapons, like Liara T'Soni and EDI, especially because it is available early in the game.
