What other gun to use?

[Crysenex]

Anyone else having an issue to decide what gun they want to use? Nightfall and the Enigma are just way to strong.

Starshot is pretty fun, IMO. Been having fun with the Krell Axe, too.

I also use the Krell axe, it's pretty strong.

Coach gun is my one true gun.

Service pistol is the gold standard of pistols. It's in the sweet spot of damage, fire rate, ammo, reload and accuracy.

merciless if you build it right

The tommy gun is crazy fun, so is the starkiller, the moon bow, the lever action works great with hunter too if you are accurate. Hell, a good portion of weapons are strong, experiment and find what you enjoy.

I defo recommend a corrosive tommygun try out, its fun.

Wrangler 1860 or what used to be called the Hunting Rifle in Remnant From the Ashes. Still one of the best long guns IMO.

For handguns I usually stick with either the Tech 22 or the MP60-R

Merciless and MP60

I've been using the LMG with 150 bullets. I put a maxed Momentum mutator on it and a few rings to help with it (like the constant variable ring to boost dmg the closer it is to overheating, the +30% critical dmg ring, the 12% range dmg ring and another ring that's either the one to make it heat up slower, or something else), plus the full moon necklace (3% life leech or +20% range dmg if 100% hp), and also put a bit of crit chance on the relic.

I use gunslinger as a main, which means ammo is not an issue (ran through all 150 bullets? Just use the gunslinger skill and get ammo back xD), and the second archetype can be anything really, but I had most success with hunter (higher dmg) and invader (more mobility and the OP dodge skill).

So momentum is amazing, basically if you hit a critical, you gain 6% more crit chance and crit dmg for 5 seconds, up to 30% more crit chance and crit dmg (at 10 stacks, but at max lvl you get 2 stacks per crit, hence why I said 6%).
Couple this with a few ranged dmg and crit chance relic fragments, and you're essentially always critting.

With this build I have a 1k-1.1k dps for body shots, and a 2k-2.1k weakspot dps. If I use hunter's mark and hot shot or corrosive bullets, my dps goes into the 3k-3.2k range.

Most I did was ~4k with buffs from friends.

Nevermind, I just tried bulletstorm + hunter's focus + corrosive rounds and did 5k DPS with the LMG without having friends to buff me xD
Could probably get to well over 5k, maybe even 6k with the alchemist frenzy buff, archon dmg zone and attack dog howl!

98% is a brutal overstatement, you only need to beat hardcore on veteran, that difficulty isn't that punishing.

Coach gun and hunting rifle hands down best imo for long guns.

The repeater pistol is bae for secondarys as is the starshot

[Dan_The_Noob]

I play with different guns when i play with people.
in the end it's more about preference than anything, they all basically do the job.

I recommend starting an explorer (or hunting down Ford's shotgun in your existing character) that shotgun is a lot of fun.

There's no real point in suggesting specific weapons as you can look through the list in the Wiki on your own time. However...

I would recommend picking your weapons based on the kind of playstyle you actually enjoy. With a few exceptions, most weapons in this game are fairly evenly balanced, so you'll rarely find yourself missing out. I guess unless you're ultra-competitive or want super-high performance for the broken higher difficulty settings...

I'm a machinegunner at heart, so I fell in love with the Bonesaw LMG. Used the Tommygun extensively in the old game, but this feels even better. There are a few alternatives to it, but I really enjoyed the Plasma Cutter. Slightly smaller magazine, but it looks so cool :)

I can't speak to other playstyles, but there are plenty of sniping weapons, rushdown shotguns, a lot of decent melee weapons and a few out-there oddball guns like the Enigma.

I get picking weapons because they're powerful, but I've found that to be a hollow experience in the long run. Unless you actually have fun with the tools you're using, the game is going to turn into a boring grind before long.

I actually use Deceit and Rupture Cannon the most so far.
