Favorite weapons?

[MattoMattick]

What is the best/favorite weapon everyone has found?

I really like the shotguns so far, and just found some talon gauntlets that I made a crit build on since they have greater crit chance after you kill an enemy with a lunge or spin attack.

It procs a lot more often since it's a minigun.

shotguns seem to work extraordinarily well with freeze gems. pretty easy to handle an entire mob of small enemies simply by shooting while turning. the larger the clip, and the faster rate of fire, the better. Hammershot works well for this.

my favorite weapon though? fully electrified z45 katana. easy to get 2 simultaneous kills and trigger the amazing special on it. Plus, it's very fast. great for shadow fury.

past that, I also like the twin dao, as you can double force slash and aim them in different locations if you are quick. rigged as full crit damage build, it does well as both killer and for environmental destruction... which I do a lot of :)

another thing I find myself using often... is a grenade launcher with power up, sticky, and remote detonate (higher the better). you can set grenades in front of green targets you know will go red after you trigger by dialogue, or whatever. then cascading boom. or, set them in the path of wandering groups, then trigger as they go by. I just picked up a remote detonate 5 gem, so I can basically lay 5 mines at a time, then just wait to trigger them as I wish. since the power up boost time is meaningless (doesn't matter if it takes 10s to fully power), it's a nice way to at least double the damage of all the mines I place. rate of fire/clip size not important, only raw base damage.

Oh dear. The math is strong with this one.

all arm of orochi users are btw ♥♥♥♥♥warriors :>

most broken weapon in the game due to the no ammo needed mechanic of this weapon, even the gameplay is boring just spamming the button to slash in insane 4 player difficulty and it's gg it doesn't matter if you have 300dps or 1k on it, it's just ridiculous begging for a huge nerf of this weapon to punish some kids arround here.

Found them after killing a random enemy.

Guessing Arm of Orochi is infinite energy slashes sword? If so...that sounds dreadfully dull....renders plasma useless, and makes Shadow Fury a bit less useful.

it's far more ridiculous, shadow fury adds another wave, so you do 2 waves instead of 1, 1 fury is enough paired with just 300 dps to beat every boss in the duration of fury in the highest difficulty 4 players solo, 700 hit with high frequency, with 1000 dps+ you just need max 3 seconds even for the endboss lol

i have found most of the weapons now, that being said, my primary 4, would be the arm of orochi and Crimswords (both setup in physical crit builds) and a fire elemental 3 barrel shotty and lighting submachinegun (just incase physical immune)

PS: for thos complaining about the Arm of orochi, i agree, it is a dull weapon to play and not as fun as other weapons imo.

*in comparison i vastly enjoy vanish and my crimswords with special moves*, however for keeping exploding enemys at bay or certain phases in boss fights the arm can be handy.

The damage seems a bit low for its range, in my opinion.

the damage is average, but:

-it is 100% electrical
-it has a chaining effect, so that any enemy that gets next to one that is being shocked by this, ALSO gets affected. I don't know the max number, but I often have 4 enemies at a time being stunned and damaged at the same time by this weapon.
-the effect is quite fun to watch

so, for control of groups of enemies, this works very well. has a short range of about 3-4m.

you can pack it up with gems that make it likely to recover ammo, and you can keep the button pressed for as long as you need to dispatch any group without having to reload.

downside... it takes a few seconds to kill things, so it tends to slow your game down a bit. not a good weapon if you are a fast mover and like to finish levels quick. Good weapon if you like to watch your enemies slowly suffer in a shocking fashion.

oh, not my favorite weapon, but one I am currently having a lot of fun with: Marvin. Buy it when it shows up in Larry's shop!

pack it with nothing but crit chance gems for max fun.

Before i get orochi arm, i was using sword with health leech and it was just same faceroll, just slower. Unlimited vanish+sting, perma vanish+forceslash, instantkilling with preoperly gemed gaussrifle... If u think arm of orochi is only easymode in game, ur wrong.

[Ichthyic]

no, the problem with orochi is it requires ZERO skill to slash your way through mobs. just button mashing. at least using vanish and sting requires clicking 2 buttons instead of one.

You can gem your starting sword (or z45) with lifesteal and it goes pretty much same noskill slashing.

My favourites are Sidekick, 'cos I love dual uzis and it makes the game feel more like the original Shadow Warrior, Swift & Messon because if there's anything Max Payne ever taught me, it's that there's nothing cooler than jumping around firing dual 9mms at everyone's face, and Bullseye & Barton 'cos bows are just pretty cool and stealth-killing enemies from out of their view range is a good way to move forward without having to waste ammo.

Single shot granade launchers, Bazooka are amazing. Semi auto shotgun, dual revolvers, Gaus rifle.... anything high damage really, you save bullets on Insane mode. I run 2 ice, 2 toxic, 2 electricity and 2 fire weapons to make sure i have enough weapons to use for each elemental monster.
