what is the best gun in game

[용병947]

I always wondered what is a good gun.What do you think is the best gun

[Cadaverous Coyote]

hands down it's the val. absurdly high dps, melts through any armor, and both the gun & its ammo are light for their power. as soon as you get one off of lazar you can snowball from there, since he'll pretty much always drop more armor piercing 9x39 than it'll take to put him down and the loot from his base will let you clean the army trader out of sp-5
before then, i think it's the aps. uses cheap & abundant ammo very efficiently, full auto stops charging mutants quickly, with pbm it can handle roving hunters well, and it's fast to reload as well as swap to
i've taken to putting random restrictions on what guns i can use to stop myself from going for this combo every time

I only played the demo but I rather like the SCAR myself. It's basically a better AKM in this game. It hits super hard considering it's full auto. You don't even really need to worry about being sneaky breeky. I like it way more than the Val.

[Thndslz]

I agree on the APS. The KEDR-91 is good and the good old PPSH rips. The UMP is real solid and i loved when i shot with it. M4 and AS-VAL have the same ttk but only the M4 have the drip. Desert fashioned mods? You got it. Green ones? You got it. Black M4? You got it.

AKM alongside SCAR-H are monsters but the former is avaliable right out of the game if you pick loadouts that are ready to kill Lazar and his minions. The SKS and Mosin loadouts are great for that. Theres was a loadout loaded with goods but it clearing the Police Station wasnt as exciting.

Didnt liked the shotguns, they felt something was missing.

There were many weapons that werent in the demo but my usual combo were AKM/APS or SCAR/UMP.

Also ive been following the patch notes on discord and im loving what im seeing. Cant wait to get my hands on nov15.

wow

[Rhawkas]

I mostly ran a tricked out Mosin and SKS. Mosin for sniping enemies and just dropping them. SKS is good to begin with and is even better once you get larger magazines. Aside from just not noticing an enemy and getting destroyed, hordes were the only real problem I ran into when playing.

spas shotgun with slugs ammo is the best secondari you ever going to need is like a sniper the you can rappifire

[Lockin277]

depending on how you play all weapons can be the best. If you are a person who has high guts weapons like AKM and Val will be very good, if you are a silent fighter a bolt action weapon plus a rifle with a muzzle will be amazing, if you think you have guts but are easily shocked a weapon with lots of bullets and the right gun

So at first i had the 74U, tricked it out, upgraded to 74 regular, they were *ok* to start with, but once you start venturing outside of the forest you want something with better damage than 5.45 PS. which i had tons of

I went to the AKM which was a significant boost in stopping power, even suppressed. It was a lot of fun, but I was aching to get out of the AK family. I came across a Scar H early on. Suppressed i was disappointed that it only did one damage more than the AKM, if you add the same muzzle attachment they're very similar except the scar is limited to a 20 round mag, which kinda sucks in big boye panicky situations. I was tempted to go back to the AKM. (also the AK family has better attachments)

I'm a huge damage per bullet kind of guy so having big boolet is what I like. Otherwise i'm trying the ZZ Vel right now cause i stashed a lot of ammo for it, it is hilariously great how well it shreds.

[LustrousTroll]

for me everything sucked until i found the .50bmg. well the knock off .50bmg its uses 76.51Rmm but its looks like the barreta .50bmg anyways its hits like a truck two standard bullets and a crimson/soldier npcs are dead. and it can oneshot with the scope while using 55% penetration rounds.

next on the list is the Skop, which is just the Scar H. its uses the same ammunition so game logic wise its just an automatic sniper rifle which can also oneshot with scope and 55% pen rounds

other than that 76.54Rmm is next best thing to use but you only get to use those with the
mosin, vsd, and the russian knock off of the m200. and the vsd being the only semi auto. of that ammo group.

but if you aint a ♥♥♥♥♥ like me and dont wanna use snipers and dmrs.

the ecm or "AKM" is pretty good overall, and the Sector 21/Vector 21 spits lava but its firerate destroys durability like the guns made of tin foil.

if your stuck in the forest and camp regions. due to lack of firepower. i would suggest investing in something that can fire 76.54Rmm and then hit the makeshift camp or industrial area and hunt a crimson npc, just one is fine you can usually find a solo one in the camp area since they spawn near soldiers and bandits they are usually fighting the other two factions.

the barman also gives you a quest that unlocks a relootable loot stash so abuse that until you have funds for a better gun to,.

I used to think the ZZ-Vel was awesome as it just melt enemies away, but it's not a good all-arounder IMO. It shines against human opponents, but when you are surrounded but weak but fast enemies that swarm you (ghouls, spiders, blinks) , low ammo is an issue. Reloading when you are surrounded by blinks = dead.
I carry always the ECM or the NC47 Chimera + 60 bullets drum as primary weapon, as it deals with everything. The first has more stopping power but lower RPM, the second has decent per-bulled damage and high RPM. And as secondary either the EDL (silenced and highly damaging) or the Marauder Modern rifle (noisy AF, but one-shots even a Kibba if he was not aggroed).

[fda]

SCAR/Modern Marauder as they utilize M61 bullet which is prob best ammo in the game + Chimera/Val as secondary of your choice in the late game.

BUT I'd give an award for ECM/AKM (whatever you call it) for being an answer for most issues in early and mid game and solid, reliable weapon.
