Weapon of choice?

[zodi_kid]

I'm gonna say something controversial, but PayDay 3 weapons are _overall_ well balanced (or feel mostly the same, which is also possible), to the point I sometimes find hard which one to choose. So, what weapons do you guys mainly use?

Also, what throwable do you use? They all feel kinda pointless, so, same doubt but opposite reasons.

Nope. Certain weapons are definetly better than others. To succeed in loud heists you always need to get headshots fast and certain weapons are better with that than others.
For example the SA A144 is an instant headshot at a certain range, same as the Reinfeld 900S. These are must play weapons most of the time and you will encounter many players who play with them.
Similiar with the Assault Rifles. Most people play the KU-59 or the VF-7S because these have a high damage output. I've yet to see someone who plays with the garbage Northwest B-9, seriously. I hate that weapon and so do many people considering I haven't seen it anywhere used yet.
One of the best weapons would probably be the FSA-12 (automatic shotgun - DLC weapon), because, well, its an automatic shotgun. You can blast through whole squads of cops with that thing and mow them down quickly (if you have the big magazine).
And also regarding grenades:
I like the normal grenade but with the perk attached that they explode on impact. Thats quite a lot of fun to fizzle around.

People don't like the Northwest, but I do. Ammo efficient with nice fire rate and stability. With the right skills you can mow down enemies faster than the meta VF-7S!

While I agree that the Northwest is better than some SMGs for an assault rifle it doesn't do the job well. imo at least

It carried me when I did Cook Off Ovk all 19 pure bags. I will never abandon it.

Ok, that made me laugh a little :D
Can you recommend certain weapon attachements? I might give that weapon a second chance.

[FlutterFeet Fetish]

WAR-45 is like the best for me, cause I'm running a hipfire build and it outperforms pretty much everything else when hipfired

If you're still around after I'm done with work today I'll tell you my attachments.

SA A144 has high damage fully maxed. SP M11 "Hard Cough" is a pretty decent pistol, the cost is $ 10,000,000 from the gun vendor. It also comes with a silencer. A lot of the weapon damage relies on some perks.

So my Northwest mods are
Compact RDS sight
Hybrid Muzzle Break Barrel Extension
Biofit Grip
Extended Mag
TQ Stock
and Cylinder Grip

This is mostly a hipfire gun for me, but it works really well ADS too I find even with all the mods decreasing ADS speed. Cutting shot also is a must I believe

Okay. I've tested it now with your modification choices and I need to admit it's kinda decent :D
However, I still think the Northwest does to little damage for what its worth. You could easily mod the KU-59 to do the same hipfire gun stuff and it would be better (and actually is, tested that as well)
So:
KU-59 > Northwest imo ;-)

Anything that goes

RATATATATATATATA

and make soldiers go

URGHHHHHHHHHHH X_X

Don't look for "meta weapons". Just be happy. Pick the one you find beautiful.

Oddly enough the Car-4 does it for me. That's only since the Cutting Edge buff, made it a 1 shot from short to mid range.

[Dangerous Dave 92]

KU-59 with the extended mag go brr
