Best weapons in the game?

Hi! I wanted everyone's opinion about what the absolute best weapons in the game are, in your own opinion.

For base defence anything from the sniper section. For scavenging missions anything Assault-Rifle-like. I always build whatever I have available and then upgrade as soon as better stuff comes available.

Beam cannon (better to still have some snipers around), but beam cannons are Beasts.

Just look on @kb advice - best assault rifle have DPS 28 & Range 7.

Beam cannon have 30.9 DPS & Range 9.

Depending on the Survivor's skills, both the Minigun and Chainsaw can have a dps in the 100s.
Acidguns do good AOE damage.
Incinerators are simply lovely.

Beam weapons. the range, accuracy, and special ability allow for getting pesky angels or handling goups that are getting out of control

2nd mention is mtars because those grenades do a lot of damage.

I'm a bit biased because that is what my whole army is made of. I just started working with acid guns and making a minigun work (after a few fails making miniguns work with my assault forces).

I just have too hard of a time dealing with the low range but the minigun plus acid gun is great when there are large groups or more than 1 get a bead on our position

- going to have to check out the mtar - I don't think I've ever even picked one up.

Hello. For me, its beam canon and minigun (with bulls eye). Close combat, inciderators (aoe) and chainsaw. Havent made or found any acid guns yet so dont know. ifyou are adding sniper to one of your suvivors (7 in team) make sure use a scout sniper (for the extra movement bonus, at least for me. my defender machine gunner is sooooo slow vs my scout machine gunner who keeps up with teh group. snipers and machine gunners gets -20% movement which hurts, imo for me).
beam canon with bullseye is great. minigun with bullseye is good too if you have couple in team and a sniper 14 range or 16 range (entire map) with 8 spot too helps.
Or try to find a survior with nimble when making a new sniper/machine.
