Raid Mode Weapons and Skills Question

[mdesaleah]

How do players get such fast and overpowered weapons? What are they using?

[talgaby]

Post-game grind. Once you hit level 50 and clear the Ghost Ship, you can start spending millions of BP on permanent +2% weapon upgrades (up to 30 times per weapon). The Ghost Ship can also drop you coveted level 49 weapons.
Also, there are the residentevil.net challenges that often have guaranteed high and superhigh grade weapon rewards if you can beat the top tier requirements.

I already beat Ghost Ship at around level 20. I’m at 35 now, but I want to know if weapons level up, which to use, and what skills to equip them with.

(is the same systhem like RER 1)
RER 2: - gun using styl:
----------------------------------------
this game is compleatly different to other shooters.
at this game you can creat your OWN gun using styl.
1. think about YOUR favorit guns.
2. think about how you will use this guns.
3. look the guns of rer with are more confortable for YOUR styl.
4. then start to farm them.

for level 100 guns, you can buy 30 extra upgrades.
and with the slots. you can manipulate the guns how ever YOU like. :)
we have, nearly, NO limits in ths game :)
for example: a pistol with, nearly, the power of a magnum.
a magnum with, nearly, the firerate of a machin gun. :)

This is Revelations 1, not 2.

What weapons to use is up to your personal style. For example, my favourites are Parker's Government and the Lightning Hawk. Some like the Muramasa. Some prefer the unique shotgun.

Until you hit character level 50, it is pointless though, since it is the point where you can start farming the Ghost Ship for level 48-49 weapons or the bi-weekly REnet challenges in hopes of them giving a good reward.

As for the skills, pick a weapon category and use the most insane buff for it. Pick Raymond for pistols, Lady HUNK for magnums, Ninja Keith for melee, and so on.

Make the ghost ship a lot but also the event for the number of zombie kill, the first 10 receive ultra rare weapons ...

It was not you to beat Ghost Ship. I believe it was someone help you finish the mission. At level 20, you could do nothing at the final deck fighting without powerful weapons and enough ammos. Your level must be same or higher than the weapon level, otherwise you cannot use the weapon. So all weapons you got from Ghost Ship mission may be from level 47 to 50. You got to wait until your level reaches this level.

One example to have such a powerful weapon - Magnum
If you want to upgrade a magnum, then:
5 times upgrade its Firing Speed that is: 5 x 600000 BP = 3,000,000 BP,
25 times upgrade its firepower: 25 x 270000 BP = 6,750,000 BP,
1 change tag to Speed shot, steady hand or whatever, at lease 450000 BP
That is 10,200,000 BP in total, but the max BP you can hold is 9,999,999 BP only.
So think in this way, you have to keep playing GS mission nearly 50 times to earn this amount of BP, but just upgrade a single magnum! Unless you can have no damage each time (750000 BP), then you only need to run 13 - 14 times.

Of course if you are professional, then lower your level to 40, a no damage GS speed run may let you earn more than 1,700,000 BP. So those players earn BP just like drink water. So easy!

Once you upgraded your lovely magnum, then equip those parts and used by Lady Hunk:

Lt. Hawk with speed shot tag (4 slots): Gluttony 5, Auto-loader 5, Full Burst or Burst 3, Auto-shot or Damage 6 or Fire Rate 4.
Python with speed shot tag (5 slots): Fire Rate 4, Gluttony 5, auto-loader 5, full burst or burst 3, auto-shot or damage 6.

This is what you call "Fast and Overpowered Weapon". All enemies will be down in front of you except Ghost Norman.

And that is just a magnum build using a DLC character—although Raymond is also semi-viable, but Lady HUNK's additional reload speed is super powerful for magnums.
There are melee builds relying on Ninja Keith, I ran for a long time with a Parker's Government build with Jill 2 and O'Brian, because both have 140% bonus on reload speeds, making the reload last only milliseconds.
There are the Muramasa builds with Jessica 1 and the Drake builds with Parker 3. Heck, some people even run High Roller base builds with HUNK. Some also just use Jill 3 with whatever weapon they can get at high ranks as she has the best stats (minor shotgun penalty and enemy damage penalty).

The important thing is to find your play style first and the weapon you like to play with, then adapt the chosen character and weapon drops accordingly. After you hit level 47+, that is.

It's all about the Parts.

Legendary Parts like Full Burst, Gluttony, and Autoloader turn the most basic weapons into fully automatic gatling guns.

Simpler Parts like Ammo Magnet, Giannt Rabbits Foot, Daze, Knuckles, Firing Rate, Reload Speed, Piercing... all have a role to play too.

It's all about making the most with what you have available. The god-like power most players put on display is only available to them because they finished the game a long time ago, it's not realistic to compare any player under level 50 to someone like that.

Most of these players have done enough runs that they would have reached level 50 tens if not hundreds of times by the time they gained all the weapons and parts they use to build these extraordinary weapons.

You can approximate that kind of power, but you can't match it unless you put in way more time to grind the loot.

[Oxygen_Is_Offensive]

"Serpent" (30+) w/ Full Burst, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Beast Damage.
OR "Thunder Raptor" (30+) w/ Full Burst, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Beast Damage.
Those Magnums are what you see a lot of purple names use.
"Lindwurm" (30+) w/ Full Burst, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Beast Damage.
OR "Sledgehammer" (30+) w/ Full Burst, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Beast Damage. Those Shotguns are what you see a lot of purple names use.
"High Roller Mk II" (30+) w/ Fire Rate, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Grenade Launcher. OR "Marauder" (30+) w/ Fire Rate, Piercing, Damage, Reload, Critical Hit, Grenade Launcher. Those Machine Guns are what you see a lot of purple names use.

Make sure that you look for those rare weapons, and make sure they are titled in "Red" text, lastly make sure that they scale to the max level "lvl 50". You can obtain the "Grenade Launcher" part by getting the Trinity bonus on the lvl 44 stage "Zenobia" located in the "Abyss" row. Which can be unlocked by completing all the "Chasm", and "Trench" stages of Raid Mode. You can unlock all of the other parts by simply playing and beating the Ghost Ship stage. If you have trouble completing that stage alone, grab a friend to help you. Another thing you might want to keep in mind is, pay close attention to each of the character's stats. They too can provide major benefits to further maximize your play style.

[talgaby]

Keep in mind that unique weapons will reduce your movement speed, and that level 50 weapons always have the default slot value, so they usually have fewer slots than a level 1-49 variant. (This is why people are farming level 48-49 weapons on the Ghost Ship and not lvl50 ones.)
Also, a few weapons have their slot number capped anyway; for example, a Lightning Hawk/Thunder Raptor is capped at 4 slots. If you can live with that limitation, it can be a better generic weapon than a Python/Serpent though.
