Secondary pistol is Gruber so far, Primary is what you prefer.

Right now for primary I usually use KSP or Thanatos, are they any good for it?

I like Thanatos + Loko/Judge with Masterforcer. I don't have that much experience with DW though. But it works well so far. :)

CAR-4 / KSP / Thanatos i'd say

For the ultimate concealment, M1014 with HE and Judge regular ammo. I'm a shotgunner, so my choices are usually shotguns.

Well that is my build:
Primary:
CAR-4 / Thanatos / Falcon Rifle / KSP / Grenade Launcher

Secondary:
Chimano Compact / Bronco / Streetsweeper (Explosive bucks)

If you have the Skill in the Berserk Tree (Can't remember the name) wich give's you 25% more total ammo, these guns are doing good DMG and have a lot of ammo. Chimano Compact never runs out of ammo.
And I love the Chimano Compact. Good Accurate, good DMG and much total ammo. Maybe it has only 10 rounds in a magazine, but it's perfect for killing normal units, and special units (Except for Bulldozer).
Give it a try.

Shotgun with buckshot and Shotgun with HE (preferably Rouge deck for fast switching)

Call your thanatos as 'Deathwish-pass'

The best weapon is the weapon which you feel comfortable with, which has an important impact on your overall performance.

Different people feel comfortable with different weapons, the only way to find out which weapon suits you it's to test it out.

I know this is not your fault, but those topics keep popping up, and I always think to myself why people even assume there can be something like "the best weapons" in a game which has so many so different weapons. If there was any, the balance would be horrible (and even now we already have bad balance)
When you are choosing a weapon in DW I find choosing a weapon that will let you get back into cover faster is better. This means you want high damage per shot instead of damage per second which is a dumb stat to go for in shooters where the TTK is so low. Why? Because if you can only commit half a second to a kill it means you can move onto the next one faster, and take cover in between, and this also means that your clip to kill ratio will be better making you more ammo efficient. Basically this leaves snipers, and shotguns as your only real options.

R93 will one headshot everything other than tasers (1 headshot + bodyshot), bulldozers (3 shots if you hit in between the eyes), and 2 for shields if the bullets are going through said shield. This means even tans, and cloakers are one shots this means since your standard squad during an assault is 4-6 enemies at a time one clip of your sniper rifle can kill all of it without reloading all from varying ranges, and non variable TTK.

Thanatos is also incredibly good, but you will lose your crowd kill capabilities due to the much slower reload, and fire rate making you more of a specialized ...err special killer, but if you have a team mate that can take care of the little guys then definitely go for this since it does one shot everything in the game even to the body other than skulldozers (2 shots to the head).

That covers secondaries, and for primaries it's pretty much down to shotguns leaving The Judge, and the Locomotive (paired with the damage talents in enforcer tree you can clear a room even on deathwish in a single clip) . The Streetsweeper is excellent if you want an HE round secondary though due to it's fast reload, and clip size.

TL;DR Use snipers, and shotguns.

Recommended Loadouts:

R93/Thanatos - The Judge

The Raven - Street Sweeper (With HE rounds for stuns vs bulldozers, and avoiding having to run around shields)

Thantos + Judge. My worst nightmare (shields) now won't live a few seconds.

Because there are objectively bad choices.

We might not be able to choose the exact best weapons for any player, but we can push the garbage aside. Leaving the good choices, letting the person choose from those.

Oh, look at that, someone made a guide with this exact goal in mind. Oh, I already posted it too!
