Best weapons for bots?

[JestinMamone]

Looked at a few threads and there's people advocating for AR's only (regular and heavy) some people say revolvers. Personally I like giving bots single fire weapons for ammo conservation. Are there any weapons that are definitively the best in a bots hands, or does it just come down to personal preference?

The only weapons I avoid are the ones that can one shot /do high damage just because the bots tend to friendly fire.

I usually avoid giving them shotguns due to the chance of them friendly firing, but they're also not great at close range combat and tend to use shotguns from at least 2 zipcodes away, which at that point, it makes sense to just give them mid range weapons. I also avoid giving them sniper because I've been shot down by them one too many times.

I run Hel Revolver / Machine gun as the bots are okay at mid range combat and I just like to give them a lot of ammo, but outside of sniper and shotguns, anything is fair game.

As a soloist and having completed almost every expedition aside from R7 D2 and E1 currently, the bots are really great with the automatic weapons and lately do really well with the bullpup due to its laser accuracy.

The DMR and sniper are good mentions, as are the handguns, but i find the automatic weapons enable them to handle groups better.

Definitely not shotguns as they will waste firing them at range and do have a tendancy to shoot you as well. Same goes for the PDW.

TLDR: Everything is pretty viable except Shotguns.

Best primaries: AR, HEL revolver, bullup AR.
Best secondaries: Veruta LMG, 870, heavy AR

Always give one bot the tracker, they do a great job with it.

Melee? any

I applied this info thanks to this, and used it with a good effect.
