Best weapon: Thermo gun.

[Luthien]

Go ahead, say whatever you want :)

The thermo gun deals enough damage per-hit to make its lack of total power count. The fact that the attacks trace its target makes it 99% more accurate than any weapon you have. So up until level 9, I can hereby say its the most useful weapon.

If the dev's wanted a balance of power, yeah, sorry.

I agree that it's a strong weapon, but if you have half decent aim, there are way stronger options regarding damage output (like for example the beam laser).

Btw the Devs are already planning to rebalance the termo gun

There is no best weapon. What one will consider their best weapon another may absolutely hate.

Personally I enjoy using a weapon I have to actively aim especially when the damage is high (one shotting using executioner especially) rather than using a low dps weapon that doesn’t require much skill in aiming.

Truthfully my preferred strategy is to set up a minefield along with some turrets and bait a horde of enemies into it. Of course I do love to just plow into a horde and use the EMP and thermo or scattershot to shred my enemies.

Yes it gud. But railgun is also gud

[Victory]

It is one of the coolest weapon but I use it less because of low damage and low accurate at close combat.

[T3cube]

ah yes, the thermogarbage.

it will be getting a nerf later.

As a dual stick user, I HAVE TO use the Thermo Gun with the Flak Cannon as a backup (for close range).

If you have excellent aim, there are better choices.

[Demesne]

Beams the best no leading targets required

[T3cube]

Scattergun and blaster if you get good at dog fighting

[Pappy]

If you struggle with aim perhaps. If you can aim there are better weapons.

Thermo-gun is the best weapon if you play with gamepad.
It is so much harder to aim using such devices !

Which is why it's in the game, to give people options.

I use a rapid coil on my bomber. The missiles take the place of the thermo well enough.

Not necessarily best, but certainly part of my ideal compliment; Gatling, Thermo, Railgun.

I'm more of a beam laser fan myself, but I have to admit that the thermo gun is one hell of a weapon.
