Best weapon of each weapon type?

[rorizle]

Can someone list me the best weapons (or at least the most used/popular) of each weapon type? For example - For Greatswords you would list Galatine Prime. Or link me something? :)

rifles: grakata
dual pistols: dual grakata
melee weapon: no grakata? no melee weapon!
spectre: CLEM CLEM CLEM!!!

It really depends on what you're going for. For example, the best slash greatsword is the Galatine Prime, the best impact one is War.
And for rifles it's worse, you have to go through all the trigger types as well as damage types and special weapons too.
I can say that the best electricity-based crowd control rifle is the Amprex.

The Amprex barely has any damage right? What's up with that?

The electricity goes between multiple enemies and it has a stupid high crit chance, iirc

there isn't generally a best. it all boils down to what you build them for and what you want to achieve with them. weapons specifically good at high level stuff can actually be less efficient at lower level stuff. such as Ignis. it's effectiveness at low levels is unmatchable, at high levels it's not so great.

Although it definitely looks like its damage is garbage on the store, the Amprex is probably one of the best crowd control weapons you can find once modded for crit.
Paper DPS is different from actual DPS, so that 7.5 electrical damage weapon holds more potential than what its stats show.

Can you please send me the best Amprex build out there? I'm keen to use it now, ive got all the crit mods, i dont have a riven though (thats my goal).

Since Rivens are out, I can't give you a "best" build, but here is a good one to strive for.
It will take multiple formas to fully realize its potential.

The two elemental mods at the bottom right corner can be swapped to deal with whatever faction you are bringing it against.

EDIT: Image is not mine, but is similar to what I use on my Amprex.

Amprex probably has more potential if you invest heavily, since it's both a crit and status weapon (you might also want to consider max ammo mod), but you will need to forma a lot. I prefer quanta because it is easier to use and doesn't require forma to get adequate performance.

Ok guys i just got a riven for the Amprex, when maxed gives +50.7% Ammo Maximum and +119.6% Crit Damage, i think its good. I'm thinking for my build ill chuck on Argon Scope, Point Strike, Vital Sense, Hammer Shot, Stormbringer, and im not sure what else. Where am i able to farm for High Voltage? (If it is farmable)

If that's the electricity/status one, all four of those (rifle, shotgun, pistol, melee) are bought from Baro, when he has them.

Apparently its like a 4% chance to get either Shell Shock or High Voltage from the Hive mission (Naegar) on Eris....

best of all melee weapons= Galatine Prime
