Favourite starting gun?

[Jinsane]

Mine has always been and will always be the crossbow. But I'm curious to know which gun you guys prefer!

[Doniazade]

609 or Babel, they're both nice. Babel is extremely well-rounded but the 609 has amazing damage. I like playing every gun except for the starting guns and the LHC though.

well by starting gun I meant like non-ingame guns. The guns you can start your run with :P

609 and Babel are both starting guns. Aka 609mm Hand Cannon and Babel Gun.

Also the award for worst gun goes to the hedgehog gun, its damage is not nearly enough to compensate for how worthless it is at anything but point blank range. Plus it has major problems on both Gumball and Maw. Consolation Charger is a much better shotgun-style weapon.

So far my best runs seems to be the ones where i use Egon's Pride. It just fits my playstyle pretty well and the recoil combined with everything above double jump makes this one of the best secret finders i had so far. But then again i only have 4 guns unlocked so far so maybe my opinion changes later on

I like to try them all but Babel is almost too good, it's so powerful and useful. Add Major Moose and it's almost game-breaking. Babel does have a slow fire rate at L1 and takes a while to upgrade though.

This is the sentence where I got confused with the starting gun thing srry :P

But yeah I kinda agree that the hedgehog gun is one of my least favourites. It's really hard to do some decent damage to gumball with it.

Won't ever get this Babel you guys are talking about, so I use the hand cannon.

Not that it helps. If I get battlements, it's GAME OVER. If I get the Gumball Machine, it's GAME OVER. The jump item luck/exploit from closed beta is long, long gone - so there's no quick way to kill it. Huff.

0 fun fighting that thing. I hear of a "Maw", but in my brief moments at the sanctum - the Gumball Machine just ruins everything...

Sorry? Babel only needs 24 tank kills, that's like six Logistics runs, if not less. That's actually one of the easier unlocks.

Are you finding Battlements and Gumball Machine really hard?

My favorite by far is the Blatherstrike or whatever it's called. I'm a huge railgun fan in Quake 3 Arena and it feels great using the equivalent of it in this game.

Unfortunately it's not very good against groups, I kind of wish it had a piercing rail gun like effect at level 4 and above or something.

I've managed to finish the game on normal quite a few times with it though, so I think it's pretty good.

A Piercing-enable item or gun mod has been requested before, especially for this weapon. Hopefully blankslatejoe will deliver!

The Hedgehog. Lvl 5 + Uber kind of covers your entire screen in whale-sized spikeballs.

[Megarlin]

My favorite is the Keg. I got rapid fire in my first run with it, i would just stand in a corner and with the right angle i killed gumball in less than 30 seconds.

Yes. I got my first win today. In 10 runs, I've found but ~2 in the Logistics area total. Otherwise, I'd have the achievement done. I have the firepower - but they don't spawn. Literally few. Should I be jacking up the difficulty?

The Gumball Machine is fine until that halfway point. Then it's "GEAR CHECK" and I usually lose. Evading damage while having to look up usually means I bump into something and the downward slide to the first level is pretty much assured. More miffed about the lack of achievement fodder - tanks. (since they actually mean something in this game.)

The Pea Shooter.

It's the only one I have.

You should also have the portable pizza thrower, and if you keep playing the consolation charger is only a few games away. :)
