Least favorite weapon?

What is everyone's least favorite weapon to use in this game?

I just figured out my least fav weapon. I've only used it twice. Hold your fav weapon in your hand. Now use it to melee someone.. That's my least fav weapon.

for me, mines, shotguns, pistols, machine guns, smgs, and i think C4 should also be, i only use it for blowing door and some drug stuffs off.

HTI
feels like a man with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FGM-148 when using it. even cheaters won't need cheat if they have this one. makes no sense.

I never used the C4 yet. I just wanted peoples opinions of what their least favorite guns would be. I really can't say what mine is as I don't even have all of them unlocked yet.

The Super Shorty is, by far, the weapon I despise the most. Maximum range of about 30 meters if you aim for the sky, an unreliable killer even at "invasion of personal space" distances, and doesn't even have enough ammo to spam at anything care of having only two shots. By far the worst weapon in the game*.

The SPAS-12 is great out to 70~ meters with all the range and accuracy widgets on it (just stick to over-the-shouler aiming, its ADS isn't well down, and doubly so with the stock extended). The reloading mechanism is nice for compulsive reloaders while providing enough ammo on hand to usually cover for a poorly aimed shot (yes, you have to aim it).

The SASG-12 is a pretty solid spam-cannon at about 40m, is clip-fed, fully automatic, and can have up to 30 rounds loaded to go at once. With the ammo pool, it doesn't hurt too bad for using a silencer once enemies are at Hunted and up status, either.

The Wilderness has the same ammo pool, but also possesses the range, accuracy, and killing power needed to be effective beyond hand-to-hand range, features sorely missing in the Super Shorty.

*One can make fairly convincing arguement for most weapons being somewhat superfluous in the face of most AR's, and many of those are so samey that the game would lose little with their removal. Even those superflous weapons, though, are at least reasonably functional. Often time they find nifty little niches to exploit or, at the very least, execute their basic function/role with enough competency to be perfectly serviceable throughout the game. The Super Shorty is, however, an incredibly niche weapon without the damage or reliability to even be useful in that niche.

Hmm... after that, I'd say the SRSA1 would be the next weapon I particularly dislike using. There's no reason for it to have it take longer to reload than the HTI (really, just swap their reload speeds) and the fact that the range weapons can be heard at when supressed is the same across class (regardless of what the noise stat may want you to think) kind of kills the attraction of what would otherwise be a neat weapon for quietly eliminating distant enemies whenever there are enemies near you. It doesn't really really good to use most of the time either, though I can't pin down why.

its not really A gun its more falls into type. thats why people say smg shottys etc as theydont use those at all because they serve little purpose in the campaign.

All of the sniper rifles. I find myself using ARs with ACOG scopes to do the job because the snipers shake so much and have such incredible bullet drop.

invest in the stability perk. also the bullet drop is not that bad if you get acc near max (even though it shouldnt have it to begin with but eh w/e lol)

Range also impacts bullet drop pretty substantially for sniper rifles. Short Shift Angled Grip+Range Finder+Long Barrel+Compensator V2 (where applicable) will let you max both on most rifles, though if not, a Scope with +Accuracy will usually cap your accuracy.

Keep in mind with the Stability perk maxed (including medal if it has one) and lying prone you'll have your scope sway reduced by 95%, making hitting targets pretty easy even at 400m-500m once you have a feel for your bullet drop in relation to your crosshairs.

Oh, and since you're not using a can, you won't be nerfing your velocity or ability to punch through intermediary barriers, which are nice things to have.
