Whats the best (American/German 9mm) pistol in the game?

[A_pet_tick]

I just got enough requisition packs to craft a silenced weapon. I dont want to waste it on a bad pistol when theres a better alternative that im not aware of yet. Whats the best pistol? I currently have a Composite German Pistol.

EDIT: Shouldov mentioned this earlier but I only have blueprints to silence a american 8mm or a german 9mm. A german pistol is probrably better but is there a version of the german 9mm that is the best?

American pistol has a higher fire rate but I believe german pistol does more damage. I don't know if fire rate or damage values remain when crafting the silenced pistol cos I think it's useless and didn't bother with it after I saw the useless oversized silencer that takes up half the screen lol

Edit. Rais's pistol has a burst fire mode if I remember correctly

The highest DMG generally available gun is the Golden German 9mm which ranges from DMG 331-1158, depending on the Legend points you have in your firearm category. Rais Pistol is the highest DMG pistol in the game, as it ranges from DMG 375-1324, but there's only one in the game, and you can't buy it from a vendor.

Alright thanks!But by "there is only oone in the game" do you mean one throughout the whole dyinglight online universe or only one is obtainable in a save.

Rais's pistol is obtainable. I believe its located in the Sector 0. And im pretty sure you cant add silencer to it, its still helluva pistol. German pistol > American pistol imo.

Not entirely true.

You can actually obtain a Rais' Pistol once per playthrough, because it is linked to a quest. So no, there isn't "only one in the game".

The German gun can do more DMG but lower fire rate, American gun, i think, always has higher fire rate. Also, I don't think color has anything to do with guns, unlike it does with melee weapons. I have a "blue" German gun that's better than a "orange" German gun. Its good to have both though. If your good at 'Headshot's' than I choose the American for the higher fire rate, mainly for killing the "normal" slow or fast zombies. Mainly, it comes down to prefernece. Hope this helps :)

There is one Rais Pistol available in the main Campaign for completion of "The Shadow of the King" side quest. As many of you know, you complete main and side quests once during your play through. That's why I stated that there is one Rais Pistol in the game.

It is true that each time you complete "The Shadow of the King" side quest, you will earn Rais Pistol, which means your character save can eventually have more than one. In my case, I have one from my original play through, and one from my NG+ play through, for a total of 2.

It's also possible for a player to get the one Rais Pistol on their completion of "The Shadow of the King" side quest, and join other players on their completion of "The Shadow of the King" side quest, and earn another Rais Pistol, for each completion. Finally it's also possible to reset your own progress in Old Town, and play "The Shadow of the King" side quest multiple times before finishing the game, and get a Rais pistol for each time.

I don't understand why you would want more than one Rais Pistol, (unless you do something dumb like losing it by giving it to Dawud, or dropping it), but hey, to each their own.

looks like i misread that. I thought there was only one golden gun per save/mission but it looks like thats just he rais pistol. I also thought u meant golden as in something other than rarity. So would this mean the best American or German pistol is the Composite German Pistol? (i care more about damage and accuracy than i do firerate)

The highest DMG generally available gun in DL is the Golden German 9mm which is its name, and doesn't indicate rarity. Rarity doesn't mean anything in regards to firearms in DL anyway. (The Blue rarity Golden German 9mm has exactly the same stats as the Orange rarity one)

One more thing: Are these weaons in a static location or do i just find them by having a high survivor rank or whatever determines the quality of store items.

[jasnxl]

The only pistol discussed in the thread that's in a specific location is Rais Pistol. Once you reach the appropriate survivor level, the Golden German 9mm is available to be purchased randomly at any vendor, or found randomly anywhere weapons can be found. (I've always purchased mine from a vendor when I found they had one for sale)

[hansolocambo]

I got rid or Rai's gun. The triple shot makes it ultra imprecise. You empty your bullets on 3 guys and they're still alive. German 9MM feels way better with his clean head-shots. 3 bullets, 3 dead.
Too bad there aren't more handguns in the game.
