Best regular gun ?

[HoenirVii]

There are mods I like but they can't be attached to guns that already contain mod, what regular long gun / hand gun you guys using ?

[Sofu]

I use the Typewriter pretty often

I like the carbine with a scope... sold by brabus.
And the sniper is pretty handy against bosses that don't show their weakspot too often. (sold by brabus as well)

But I'm the kind of guy who enjoys "slow but strong hits".

You can buy the AR for 1000 scrap and it's the most balanced and reliable long gun. I used it the entire game, and no other gun performs so well around the clock.

That's a hidden weapon, it's lame people talk about the game's hidden weapons as if they were super easy to find and should obey the same standards as other weapons. Although I personally think it's a bad weapon because it has bad aim in the first seconds you start shooting, so forget about moving around and shooting in bursts.

I agree the AR is pretty good. Played the entire game with it. The flexibility of mods just adds to its versatility.

I like the Royal Hunting Bow, awarded for beating the Postulant at his own game.

Bonesaw and Silverback are my two favorite Brabus sold guns.

Assault rifle, machine gun, automatic shotgun, carbine, typewriter, sawed off shotgun.. would be my personal favourites

work around long reload times with a mod that refills your magazine on use

Perhaps the best thing about the AR, like the assault rifle in the first game, is the stagger damage, it's nothing like a real gun, but it's enough to give you breathing space against many enemies.

It's so strange so many weapons have no stagger at all, and enemies just stand there as if nothing happened.

huntmaster :) thank me later

I second Huntmaster, IF you're half decent at hitting weakpoints.
If not one of the automatic weapons might be better.

AR-47

The Rupture Cannon is my go-to handgun. Just lovely.

[Silv]

I just sticked with the Huntmaster from survivor to apocalypse

I've found the Bulldog to be an absolute beast

Really depends on your build:

Huntsmen, Bulldog, AR, or even the Bonesaw are all good choices.
