Weapons For Mayhem?

I know i made similar post few hours ago

What are best weapons for Mayhem or over difficulty?

[The Least Interesting Chibi...]

The commons head health is 120/240 so any weapon with a damage that's a multiple of 40 or 60.

That's before helmet popping too. (It's 96/192 after HP).

It depends on your build and playstyle. Pistols mostly need One Handed Talent or Trigger Happy to be reliable (not all pistols though). Shotguns are fairly reliable with a perk deck and just Shotgun Impact (Grimms need Underdog). LMGs mostly need Fire Control Aced but that's really player dependent. GLs just require you not waste too many shots on single enemies.

The meta weapons are still LMGs, Crit-AutoShotties like the Grimms or Izhma, Grenade Launchers, and some Akimbo weapons. Oh and Graze-Snipers.

But you don't need to use meta weapons. Find a weapon you like, as most work anyways on DW.

Almost any weapon besides the obvious joke-niche ones like Thanatos, RLs or bows.
Below DS your build is more important. If you focus on one or two weapon classes and use these guns, you have no issues. Unlike DS where you abuse the strongest.
Below DS you can use everything. Pistols, akimbos, ARs, DMRs, snipers, shotguns, LMGs or Specials. Everything goes to be honest.

You could go meta with LMGs and whatnot, but honestly at Mayhem difficulty it doesn't really matter. Experiment with any weapon you can get your hands on, and find what works for you.

The thanatos works *very* well with the right build. :) It is indeed a niche but hardly a joke.

You can be a niche player in a team of 4 with it. Solo or without a full team you're ballast.
I mean, you can take the Desertfox and OHK Minigun Dozers and have that build more viable with less points spent somewhere unneeded.
