Rare Single Shot Rifle vs Assault Rifle
I have the Single Shot Rifle 2 which does 1870 damage per shot, and I'm good at headshots. Should I continue to use it or go for an assault rifle? I can buy the ammo easily but I want to know if it would be better than what I currently have.

The assault rifle has way more DPS over all, but it's also kind of expensive to use. I pretty much save it for legendary pals and tower bosses. But if the ammo cost doesn't bother you, it's spits that small damage faster enough to easily outclass pretty much everything but the rocket launchers.

Me personally, I run the single shot as my primary weapon. And at this point, I use it on the legendary pals too.

Good question. I've not tried them as they all take a bit more work to craft than rockets.

So I'd guess rocket launcher all the way :steamhappy:

That I can't really say. I've not messed with much. The flame thrower is kind of cool, but it eat through ammo worse than the AR. The Meteor launcher is bunk. The mini gun does slightly more DPS than the AR, but the aim on it is kind of off.

Only thing I'm aware of that might be better than the rocket launcher is the quad launcher. But I can't actually confirm. And while the rocket launcher is big damage, that's not it's primary function. It's a tool to keep Jetragon down so you don't have to deal with his bs.

One video I watched showed that the fire rate of the quad launcher is faster so you can keep a pal stunned more of the time. I think it still had a reload, but it was 1 in 4 shots and not every shot. I play with my wife, and having two people with rockets alternating shots really does make a difference in an alpha fight. If you can land every shot, you might get no attack at all from the pal before you kill it.

Most of the alpha bosses can be stunned. I think some of the toughest though, might not be stunned by the rockets. I've yet to do any of those. Not sure what they might be. Hope to get to those in the next couple of weeks.

Rockets will juggle anything other than tower bosses. They don't get staggered by them, but the rockets still hit em like a truck.

Speaking of, do I really need 15 level 55 Jetragons for Bellanoir Libero? Especially if I can't fire my gun while on Chillet because of my trackpad...

I can't say for sure, I've not actually gone after her yet. I suspect no, in fact what I'm doing is making platoons of different guys for both her and Blazamut Ruy. I suspect if you have enough guys at 55 that aren't weak to her, you can probably do it. I sure hope so because that's my plan. Not bothering with "perfects". Just making an army big enough it can't lose. I'm fairly sure I could take her now with what I got once I actually lvl them, but I want more. I want there to be no chance I waste even a single slab on a loss.

Since you've been so good at answering my questions, here's one I've had for a while-is the Hyper Glider better than Galeclaw? It's the weak link in my party and I'd like to have something else, but I'm addicted to the speed...

That's a pure personal preference thing. Personally, I can't get used to the gailclaw. But some folks can't play without it. The Gailclaw is faster and has a lot more utility. And, you can take the glider off to save weight. On the other had, it takes up a pal slot that you could be running a more powerful back up or another booster pal.

How much faster is Galeclaw though?
