Best weapon

[76561198389263079]

Just wonder whats the best weapon for you? For me its P.A.X. Imperator v2.0
Even Black Cerberus was a cakewalk... killed him on 2nd try.

How often do you get weapons in this game?. Because I've been using the weapon dropped by the first boss for what it feels like forever. The same with the armor.

At what point in the game do you start getting different options?. I've played for around 6h and haven't found any interesting loot (I use the thing that beeps when there's an item close so I don't think I've missed anything). You also don't get to level up stats or anything as your core power goes up so I've been basically playing an adventure game instead of an RPG.

The combat is ok, the map design is great (although pretty boring looking so far), the atmosphere is pretty good too but if there's basically no loot, no quests, no stats allocation/different builds, no dialogues...

Again that's just my first impressions after 6h. Does it get better?.

Have you been chopping of arms?

if you see an enemy with a weapon you don't have, chop of their right arm, and you'll get whatever they had.

Also harvest armour from other body parts, each area has 1 or more armour types you can get which you can use to either craft or upgrade your existing armour.

I've been hitting enemies in their weak points, maybe that's why I'm not getting loot/recipes?.

Also since I see you guys are being helpful, is there any differences between the two starting "classes"?. My assumption is their starting gear is slower/faster, anything else?.

@Devil Dog: Yes, I'm kind of far into Central Production (or that's my guess since I've already opened a few shorcuts). And as I said, I'm using the that PAX weapon and the same armor (everything upgraded a few levels) since almost the start of the game. I've found a couple of common weapons but they're not even close to the one I'm using.

Yes definitely.

Weak points / unarmored parts are for dealing more damage quickly, and staggers enemies more. You get scrap for killing enemies either way, but you need to chop off armored parts to get that part. You get broken parts, and then when you return to the gear assembler in Ops, it breaks those parts down into components, which you can use to craft or upgrade other exo suit parts.

For example, chopping off an armored arm off the first guy will give you an armored lynx arm (that's broken). You'll get the part, and the crafting recipie for it. The broken part will be broken down into actuators for the arm, and with enough, you can craft your own lynx arms.

IMO, best weapon is MG Judge v2.0. it's the MLGS of the Surge but better. and being a Heavy Duty with high impact, it's great at staggering on both attacking and just-time blocking. the counter attack animation is precise too and will hit what you have targetted.

Operators(Lynx) emphasizes on agility: less stamina using for sprinting, increasing attack speed, but low on defense and stagger-prone (=death if it's a quick 1-2 hits combo from the enemy)

Goliath(Rhino) is the opposite of Operators: most likely you'll survive the combo with higher defense stats and quicker recovering from stagger, more stamina usage

I'm new to this game, NG Executive Forum atm. I was just testing a few single rigged weapons and not sure why most of you say PAX is so good. I've tested PAX, MG Legionnaire and Codenamed: Elise (all mk. III) on a few different enemies. Elise deals a hell lot more dmg than PAX and Legionnaire on armored body parts.

I've noticed, but i've searched all over the Internet and found nothing. Every topic is old.

My opinion is that most players start by equipping a Specterbite, then they get the PAX 1.0 or 2.0, and use that through the factory. By the time they pick up one of the other 'good' weapons, they've already gotten so used to single rigged (and PAX's slide attack combo) that they feel extremely uncomfortable using anything else, ever.

Personally, I was so utterly dissatisfied with single-rigged combat that I ended up using the Vibroblade all the way up to Black Cerberus, and then I had the MASSIVE ENERGY AXE, and never went back. (Actually, I've used pretty much every weapon in the game extensively, but not in a 'play the game' way, just as testing.)

Also, Mk III is still your first run, you aren't going to see how different the individual weapons are until NG+++, when you're talking MK XVI-XIX.

Interesting :) Thanks for your opinion!

I think he meant the meta changed since the dlc weapons.

Using twin rigged here, and the fire/ice ones are awesome.
The fire twin rigged pretty much dominated early game for me, despite its poor scaling.
For very short period firebug throttle v2.0 was viable but then replaced by the ice twin rigged.
Only for end mobs vanilla were superiour again.

Codename Carmina staff 4 evah, also MG Centurion and Claws of Gestalt.

[Darklight]

I've finished my first playthrough. Used MG Centurion in end game and it really is good. Also got Claws of Gestalt but need to start NG+ to test them out :)

Any high impact massive two hand is great, the impact staggers your opponent

Even the last boss becoms a chum :)
