Is the first gun the best?

[So Sleepy]

I have unlocked all of the guns and i feel like the first one is still the best. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Penetrating guns seem to be the best.

I personally prefer crimson. 8 shots, fully reloads all the ammo in one go, fastest fire rate.
All this to say; it's really personal preference on what is "best" or not. The first 3 guns are all pretty good and fit different play styles ... the last gun I won't comment on because I actively don't like it.

I'd say it's a mix of personal preference, what you want to do / achieve, and the rest of your loadout. I also prefer the second gun - Crimson, the 8 shooter. Put the perk on that has a quicker reload when the gun is empty (or do something for your showdown generation) and it's a marvellous piece.

Currently I'm using the fourth gun, though, at least for a while. Yes, it's a gimmicky cheese-gun that basically amounts to cheating, but the secondary reload is annoying enough that I probably won't stick with it unless I have a "x% accuracy" challenge ahead of me.

For a while, I thought Crimson was, but now, yeah, I think the Peacebringer is the best. Combined with Cursed Gaze cylinder, Strange Locket, and Old Harmonica...it's now the best load out I've used imo.

First gun with cursed Gaze, locket, tobacco is my most successful load out.

I've made it above 500 with Crimson and faster reload but with that first load out I'm pushing 1000. It's my fave.

crimson with the Leather Bandolier is pretty great imo

I used the Crimson until I unlocked the cursed gaze or so with the Bandolier and Old Harmonica then I switched to the Royal Gunsmith + Cursed Gazed + Old Harmonica + Strange Locket.

Personally, if you don't use the shotgun special shot of the Royal Gunsmith then it's better to just use the first gun for the faster reload time and no movement penalty. I stand in one spot most of the time so the reduced movement isn't that big of an issue and the shotgun shot is good in a pinch

In all honesty, cursed gazed spamming combo can just clear everything thrown at you. I got to 800 kills with this set standing in one spot spamming cursed gaze. I think you can just use whatever you're the most comfortable to to make sure that you don't start reloading when being swarmed from all sides.
