Everyone's favourite weapons and why?

[Stormlock]

Haven't gotten everything upgraded yet, but Echo is my favourite so far. That extra burning damage really helps the ammo go a long way, especially when paired with lightning spells and elemental arcanum. My only gripe with it is that 3rd ability, I got no time to be sliding in close range combat. Hailstorm is nice for the ability to actually use it as a sniper rifle (WTF is with these 30m ranges on the other 'long' range weapons?) as well, but that's not always relevant in some areas. Running closer to shoot things is pretty much always an option to make the Echo shine. Last pick would be the Hang... something? Forgot the name. But reloading to make stuff go kaboom is very satisfying, and it often stuns them just as I need the breather to reload, and the explosions have other utility as well like crowd control and doing full damage at long range, as well as extending ammo efficiency.

Hard to answer. I've played nearly all runs with the Hunger + Bolt Action and just in the last few runs (stopped playing much, as my Headset is broken and I wait for a repair - feeling with a good headset is just different that with my desktop setup) used different weapons more (besides farming to level them up)

But Echo feels good, also the Riccochet (how ever it is spelled) just crushes hordes if combined with Iron Cross and Fire Breath for example.
Also the Revolver which explodes the shots at reload felt strong and fun.

Cricket had some cool interactions I want to check out more...

But by far, Hailstorm. Its my save GoTo Weapon to clear out the map from far and learn about it. Where can I go, hide, have good spots... it is easier if you have killed all stronger enemies already from half across the map.

Hangfire. Even after the nerf, it's a gun that makes enemies explode on command. You can load up a dangerous target, shoot them with your secondary, then reload just before they unleash a devastating bomb chain attack and wail on them while they're stunned. Bonus points if you use Focus Dodge right before reloading, because then their soul links are exposed to the explosion.
Hailfire's one weakness is its slow reload speed... which is why I use the Frost Sphere to catch up. Its third mysterium doubles reload speed, and the breather lets you pick your targets and carefully plant bombs in multiple enemies; the second Mysterium makes your explosions stronger the more enemies you spike before a reload.
Lastly, I prefer damage-dealing Fire-based Arcana, and among guns, this one's the most effective and reliable at setting things on fire.

I do not even own it, but i guess Striga was one of the reasosn i buyed the game afr seeing it in a gameplay video ha ha ha xD

Gnosis 4
Rotweaver + Hunger
Frost Cone + Burning Stake
Braid Of A Seductress/Painted Tooth + Henbane + Crown Of Fire/Shadowmist Ring

[R4v3n's W1ngs]

Hangfire now that they change the way it work into tag 6 target, reload, BOOM
Hypnosis for the perfect shot skill reward
I'm also a sucker for the good ol' reliable Hunger but years of Halo formate my brain into reload happy which doesn't help for the mysterium effect
And Cricket cause it feel like this is the way the game want to be played : aggressive dash, risky at melee range, poping sigil (also i played earlier build and this poor insect used to have like half the range and damages, you needed to empty the whole mag in the nose of a major ennemy to kill it)

[Bärenpower]

Psychopomp
Echo
Shockwave
Flame Stake
I love the action in the face of the enemies. At the start of the game I never would have consider to play close range only in witchrfire but now I love it

[SpidersInABirthdayCake]

The Midas Auto Rifle: 60 rounds, full auto, increased damage, fire element, accurate, big ammo reserve

The Hangfire Revolver: Torque approved

[Bam Bam]

Striga, Hunger, and Whisper

^ Nice to see a Midas enjoyer, I've been really trying to like it, but I'm too OCD about getting most shots in the bar, so even good kills feel unsatisfying lol

I like revolvers. The most convenient weapon for blind shooting (by the name of Arcana). Maximum mobility, medium range, good damage. Basilisk is great against elites. In general, weapons should be selected based on where you are going. If you are farming the second island, then one set, if the Tower on the first island, then another set. Boxing is not chess... you have to think here(с)

[NucleonDon]

Hunger, Striga, and Basilisk are my favorites (hypnosis as an honorable mention). They all feel like they reward you appropriately for crits, and seem to have very high DPS when you hit your shots.

[DreamKiller]

Striga at level 3 w/madman does massive AoE damage which while leveling up is super important. You have to hit your shots but it's so gratifying when you do. The ammo economy is excellent as well!

Even after the Hangfire nerf, it's still really good. It can now carry 120 bullets (6 in the mag) which is also excellent for ammo economy.

Echo would be my honorable mention. That said, I typically like to keep a bit of distance. The big downside is the use of stamina just to fire the damn thing.

For my play style the ammo economy of this combination is excellent. Early in my play through, I was always struggling with ammo. That's not the case anymore.

I'm dominating Gnosis 3 with this loadout.

Hangfire
Striga
The Launcher Demon Weapon - (Sorry forgot the name) This thing can do massive damage at distance.
Frost Cone - very underrated (Acts as my O chit button if I get ran up on)
Burning Stake - Best heavy spell in the game.
Madman for those juicy critical's with Striga
The Mandrake Relic (The healing one)
Shadow Mist Ring (Being able to teleport through enemies without while doing damage and potentially freezing them is just too damn good.)

Cricket is my absolute favorite weapon to use. Jumping right into the middle of a large group of enemies and then do the dash-ballet-of-death is the most satisfying thing ever. Often can't help myself from laughing out loud at just how quickly this little machine pistol can wipe out an encampment.

Second is Echo. It pairs really well with the Cricket and have enough firepower to instantly wipe out most targets with a little combo magic. It also feel pretty awesome to open combat by sprint-sliding right up in someones face and blasting them to kingdom come..
