What is your favourite weapon in this game?

[Neosuduno]

Mine is the Taiga M. Even late into the game, I still keep my modified Taiga M as my primary weapon. It is cheap to replace, easy to maintain and keep fed, and has a wonderful combination for emergencies, switch to run mod and three round burst. Math behind it is simple; one buckshot fires 4 projectiles, 3-round burst fires three buckshot a turn, and run gives three turns. 4X3X3= 36 projectiles in a turn. Point blank I have yet to see anything survive that.

hi have you tried the jeffhammer? that one can fire i think 4 rounds in burst mode :)
(maybe its overkill in some cases, but if you have the ammo, it can be worth it with tough enemies)

[Neosuduno]

I tried it, but I found that it's increased weight, cost and worse damage per shot really gimped it.

[Kanjejou]

isnt their a super taigaM with even better stats?

i prefer the jeff hammer if upgraded in damages and if i really need a room cleaner but its not very reliable in single shot and thus not ammo/repair efficient.

[Neosuduno]

Nope. Taiga M has not improved variant. The Jeff Hammer series is always somehow less reliable overall. Either being more fragile or more expensive to repair or replace. Raw power is not everything, and the Jeff Hammer series may have rate of fire and raw damage, but they suffer in accuracy, durability and consistency.

there is the Taiga ANCM maybe you just never found one

In cheap shotgun i do prefer the borderMK-2 easy to build easy to improve.
-dont lose damage until range 6
-a bit more accurate
-a bit lighter
-more damages per shot so slug and special ammo hit extra hard.

only 2 weakness :
-reloading shell per shell
-no auto fire

If we stay on shotgun i guess Jeffhammer C22 since its the best of the Jeffhammer familly but its quite rare and i havent found the blueprint yet

Sometime i use SMG a improved course VKT

But I tend to not like energy guns flamme guns chemical guns and 7.92 guns

then tend to be too ammo inneficient or not be hitting hard enough to avoid ennemy shooting back at me...also they seem to lack special ammo to take care of all the quasimorph/special ennemies...

BORDER MARK-2 ENJOYERS UNITE!
But seriously, being the only range 6 shotgun is worth the drawbacks. You can indefinitely keep quite a few extremely dangerous enemies out of range with knockback. I don't switch off of it until I've started upgrading a shotgun (or shotgun combo) with better potential like the Aspid, Scadi (sic), or Anathema.

Various honorable mentions go to:
Aspid: The only reason to work for Daydream other than the grenade blueprints. Works well even against poison-resistant enemies and trivializes most elite corporate troops.
Flash MG-76: Best energy weapon obtainable early on and the only range 6 SMG. Becomes extremely mean when fully upgraded, despite the max potential of 30.
Shake: The only weapon in the game you can load with multiple types of ammo in exactly the order you want (a bit time consuming, but oh, well). Walking into a level with a Shake loaded with 30 (or more!) Eyes of Wrath is an experience everyone should have at least once. I am saddened that poison/cryo nades cannot be loaded into it, but watching everything die consoles me.
Sharvara/Ghost Mantis/Retribution: Best standard ammo pistol/SMG/AR in the game. Hard to upgrade, but don't need it against most enemies.
LPS Whip/Enigma Supreme: Just upgrade damage/durability. Laugh at the game.
The God of Fire: The most ammo efficient weapon in the game. Doesn't really benefit from upgrades.
Thunderstorm: Trivialize Unfair by throwing Batteries at it! Really needs ammo upgrades.
Supremacy: Trivialize Unfair by throwing Igvas at it! Again, needs ammo upgrades.

I personally like both the taiga and the jeffhammer, even though i think the taiga one sounds wrong for a shtogun but that's a bit besides the point.

That said your post is all sorts of incorrect here.

1. Taiga improved variant here: https://quasimorph.wiki.gg/wiki/Taiga_ANCM
2. Jeff Hammer series not as reliable, accurate or consistent :

Taiga M : 12 ammo capacity 3 AP 30%accuracy 7°scatter 135 cond
Jeffhammer : 12 3 AP 30% 7° 135
Jeffhammer MD: 24 4 AP 30% 7° 150
Jhammer-C22: 24 4 AP 35% 6.5° 180

Taiga is just comparable but a bit better dmg than the regular baseline Jeffhammer.
The rest of what you said just isn't true.

Jhammer-C22 and the Taiga_ANCM are both very comparable. Difference being that the burst mode for the hammer has +1 round but -15%accuracy and -1.5°scatter

The difference is similar on the baseline weapons with +1 round but -5% accuracy and -1°scatter for the burst mode.

This all serves to make the jeffhammer a much more damaging weapon overall, particularly at close range. I feel like if you're planning on doing some longer range shotgunning, you ought to go for the border line anyway.

As for my favourites, i don't know really, i have fun with so many it's hard to pick a favourite. I like the early game plonker Course VKT. It's the first 9mm that doesn't feel like butts to use and it shows up often on missions,

I like how the Taiga M is a more balanced shotgun. Also, the improved version is locked behind a rather rare chip that I have NEVER seen, even after 6 days of play.

Likely because the means to get the chip were axed in the latest update, in the attempt to stabilise trade.

[Kanjejou]

I really want a border MK3

so that i can upgrade that bad boy more...

You can get it from a Ancom unit.

Yeah, but I have yet to even FIND an Ancom unit. That is why I like the basic Taiga M. It is much easier to get and engineer. Availability matters.

for me i go to the marksman rifle because custom class with dismantler, last bullet and tactical reload
marksman rifle 100% wound if hit and i like hit and run from a far
for starter Bishop : prob the earliest common chip to got, cheap to upgrade especially with recycling maxed out just add 2 more magazine upgrade, maybe some crit damage and you good to go, find a long corridor and everything on the path should have missing arms or leg

then Prism : this is silent energy weapon if you lucky with your high tech, fave weapon with battery damage perk and arsonist, will burn your loot tho

then basically whomever faction i like to boost atm either go Ancom for their Snow wolf that amazing Blunt damage marksman

or Sunlight coven for Crusader for natural Prism upgrade

but both faction blueprint tend to be massive headache to upgrade. at least both of them is capable of burst shot

I love the mining laser from coreward the most. If you can get your hands on its chip, it becomes a war crime
