Which weapons should i upgrade first?
BTW are there any news from devs?

I haven't tried all of them, but I thought the Thunder Hammer was awful despite it being expensive. It's just too slow to be useful at all. The chain sword was much better.

It does not matter too much. Some weapons do more damage but the trade off is speed and magazine capacity. It really depends on what you are fighting I guess.

To be honest though, I found it is better to upgrade one well rounded weapon full and stick with it rather than slowly upgrade them all for different situations on the first playthrough. I saved the others for the NewGame+.

Personally, I use the Ingelldina Powersword and the Ceres Bolt Pistol. They seem to have the right balance with speed and damage for me. Add the extra health purity seals and you are golden.

The plasma weapons hold so few shots that they are not worth the damage output in my opinion. If you go with the plasma weapons you almost have to use the extra ammo purity seals to make them useful.

You could replace the Ceres Bolt Pistol with the Scipio Stub Pistol if you like, it holds a few less rounds in the mag but does a bit more damage.

I played the game on hard and exclusively used the fully upgraded chainsword which has decent damage and isn't so painfully slow like the Thunder Hammer or the Goth Eviscerator. Imho the ranged weapons aren't that useful anyway, so it doesn't really matter which one you use unless you also pick a ranged weapon perk for your ability slot.

One big problem with this game is the heavy preference to do stealth kills which means that at the end of the day you will use your regular weapons only in boss fights or scripted events where stealth isn't possible.
