What is your "workhorse" weapon?

[Honorable_D]

For those further in that have most weapons, what is the one you keep using the most?

I've been on a kick with the Rail Spike Impaler—once you get the upgrades that give you ammo from using shield attack and the upgrade that empowers your next shot when you grab ammo...it seems like a really good self-sustaining combo.

I'm really liking the skull spitting gun, lol. I can't remember the real name. I like the shotgun but only when I'm fighting an enemy close up. The rail spike gun is slowly becoming one of my favorites. I just got the upgrade that you mentioned about getting ammo from shield strikes.

Combat shotgun feels amazing with the triple burst and armor gain. Besides that I liked the skull crusher with tight spread.

If I needed to erase something quickly otherwise I would bash in and SSG them.

There isnt a weapon I use the most, I use everything depending what the situation calls for. Tho that chain ball gun is pretty damn good once you upgrade it all the way.

Combat Shotgun for the first half, switching to the Super Shotgun and the Chainshot once I had better sources of armor generation. The Chainshot I think was an excellent addition to the arsenal - conceptually it's super fun and the upgrade that gives it a full charge shot on a parry made me enjoy that mechanic more.

Also used the Cycler often. I genuinely don't understand why the other plasma rifle is even in the game.

The second plasma rifle with electric upgrades, keeps the pressure on demons while allowing me to keep focus on parrys, railspike is my second main followed by double barrel shotgun

[Kenshiro3]

Combat shotty (with triple burst fire, and incinerate) or super Shotty… paired with Shredder or Cycler (plasma nail gun) with electric upgrades is useful.

fully upgraded flail is beast too though…

[bshock]

Cycler shock debuff to Impaler with chrono is fun on big mobs. I use combat shotgun with the three round burst and incinerate the most.

super shotgun with the second plasma rifle

Hard to say, they all have their uses, especially with parry combos.

The super shotgun, the rocket launcher, and the shield with the chainshot. Parrying instantly fully charges the chainshot, so it’s pretty powerful if you can parry constantly.

Yeah, chainshot is absolutely broken against big solo targets like Cyberdemon etc. You just do an endless loop of parry into fully charged chain.
