Weapon loadouts

[Comron]

As the title says, just wondering what everyones favorite weapon loadout is?

[-=SOF=-WID99]

i start with
hunter bow upgrade to > Compound bow w\ reflex sight
Driller machine gun or PKM
Sandman .45 silenced pistol till i get the M79 hand held launcher
Elephant gun
( i have the hurk deluxe pack)


P4 16 assault rifle < snag it early at tower east of Barnali Textiles add + optical sight + bigger clip (great gun)
upgrade to bushman after mouth of madness


Z 93 Sniper rifle < snag it early at same location + add suppressor + best scope
upgrade to SA 50 after payback mission

unlock all towers = grab buzzsaw


Buzzsaw / bushman or P4 16
SA50 / Z 93
M79
Bow with reflex sight and explosive\ fire arrows = best loadout for me

I try to tun the game without using the signature weapons.
My experience concluded after about 3 full playthroughs that the stats in the weapon select menu are nothing but vague, unreliable guidelines and that my favorite weapon, the bow, is rendered practically useless after the first half of the game.

My original loadout is:
1st slot: P416 or Vector ACP
2nd slot: D2 (sidearm shotgun) or D50
3nd slot: Hunter Bow (even though the Recurve Bow is sadly better in every way, Hunter Bow gains bonus points for style)
4th slot: RPG or MKG

As soon as I gaint access to the North then the damage of the bow is no longer enough to reliably hit the opponents in 1 hit, even with the Overdose Syringe.
Considering its status as a stealth weapon, this renders it completely useless for me.

Therefore I replace the bow with a Z93.
I also tend to replace the MKG with the MG42(non-signature Buzzsaw) because despite the loadout screen claiming it's only slightly more accurate, it's simply far better and more mobile than the MKG in every way.

MG-42 Signature all the way as my loadout.

For immersion purposes, I was trying to carry weapons that were somewhat possible for a human to haul around. Therefore, I was using the Recurve Bow, M79, and the 1887, with a random pistol.

However, I really needed something for medium range firefights and I just wasn't good enough with the Recurve Bow for that. So when I unlocked the MKG, that became my primary weapon for close & medium range fights. It's great for killing hostile animals that come out of nowhere so it replaced the shotgun.

I was thinking of replacing the Recurve Bow with a silenced Sniper Rifle but I'd lose the great helicopter-killing explosive arrows. I'm really bad at taking out helicopters with the M79...plus it's always nice to kill an enemy with that nice bow :)

Beginning, whatever 1 handed weapon I can get until M79, PKM, RPG/sniper, AK47.

When I'm all unlocked, M79, warrior, Buzzsaw, Z93.

I rarely bother with throwables other than Molotov's.

I have two layouts Quiet and Devestating/Loud

Quiet
Bushman
A99/Auto-Cross
Shredder
SA-50

Loud
Buzzsaw
87
LK-1018
AMR

LK-1018 with L-CAM attached works well aginst Pagan's Wrath Conveys. Locks on and destroys all three with one shot.
