Favorite gun so far

[msy]

I know folks have said that the Hard Hitter is a very good gun. Have not found that for myself. The Hard Hitter I have seen is just an ordinary gun, not even rare.

My favorite gun is the Legendary Skip Shot Grunt's Refined R-900. It will fire shotgun slugs 55m and do 1255 damage. Pretty good for a level 34 guy. And my ranged rifle will do more damage than Hard Hitter.

I found this about lvl 40 and have seen nothing better for range and accuracy.

Cool, maybe I will find an Epic or Legendary version of this gun.

Magshred with furious and corrosive ammo. Works perfectly fine against anyone. Especially with mag rails.

I love the penetrator rounds. I have the wanted trait, and the bounty hunters are notorious for coming at me in a straight line. One shot drops three of 'em more often than not. :D

Where did you find this weapon?

I think I bought it, either from a shop or the smuggler. I don't think anyone dropped it.

The Hard Target will only show up once the player has reached level 32. The Va'ruun Inflictor will show up from level 45 onwards. These two are among the strongest guns in the game but very cheap to run unlike some others.

I've used both and both are nice. I got the Inflictor at the lodge at a start of an NG+ run.

Ive yet to see one at high damage like reported here. Maybe because of my settings.

Favorite will depend on 2 things ... does it work, and what is your style?
Sniper, rambo, old west pistol are the most supported styles (long range scope, medium range big magazine, short range high damage).

Its hard to argue about hard target as the go-to sniper... the magsniper is a little better at the cost of being a lot more annoying. There is nothing else that even competes.

medium range is filled with great stuff, beowulf, magshear, some shotguns with longer range workbench tweaking (breach and shotty with slugs), and many others. The inflictor may be the #1 dps pick, but lots of stuff is good enough and the inflictor is inaccurate unless standing still and firing slowly.

short range / pistol is ruled by magshot, eagle, regulator, razorback, 1911s, varrun with the ones that accept a short scope coming in for double duty (you can use them at the medium ranges esp if sneaking), and the full auto magshot modification in a class of its own for melting 1 target at a time (punching over 6k damage almost instantly on a 12 magazine variant).

But at the end of the day you have a solid 10 or more choices for any thing OTHER than sniper style play. Once the enemy get around level 100 and you need 1 hit kills, the semi-auto beowulf 'sniper' and similar ideas stop working.

damage on paper is affected by your damage perks in the skill trees + modifications to the weapons. You are seeing people with advanced quality guns, possibly with damage increasing modifications on them from the *** rating (blue/purple/gold modifiers), and beefed up with damage perks.

Getting an Inflictor at the start of NG+ is a great thing to happen. There are several places that can have one besides the basement of the Lodge. One of them is the weapons research lab in the MAST building. I usually buy a bit of heavy fuse ammo in Neon and when I can't get an Inflictor I grab 'Jake's hangover cure' from the bar in the well.

Found this while on mission looking for Barret. It's not my best gun. It's green. I love it.

^^ its too bad so many uniques are such junk. Only a few are 'advanced' quality.
with single action mod that one would take you a good ways into a new game though.

Magsheer + lacerating is my go to weapon, either the one on the legacy or one I picked up as loot

My only gripe is the fact that they are unique without any real physical look to them beyond color. Though I did find an Equinox with white and blue trim colors that wasn't named specially and without any mods.

Did you find it like that or did you have to apply the skin?! Looks awesome!
