I've heard people say that the Tenderizer is the best assault rifle in the game

[barramundi man]

how so? I'd like to know before getting the warbond, I know the Verdict is good for its medium armour penetration, but how good is the tenderizer?

[Malakith`4f]

It's the hardest hitting AR there is, but has light pen. Does really well against both bugs and bots.

how well does it pair with the Verdict?

Like your starting rifle and pistol did, but with more damage, and higher penetration for the pistol.

The AR's are... well, they don't differ so much from one another. The Tenderizer is nice though for these reasons: It has the highest damage in the Assault Rifle category with 105 per bullet. It has the best ergonomics, so you actually aim where you are looking at.

And it has the most options if you keep the reloadbutton held down. You can adjust the scope, the firing mode, flashlight and even the firerate.

Overall, though? The standard Liberator will do the same job just as fine

alright, it sounds worth it then

The tenderizer is a tad overhyped. Yes it does the highest damage for a AR but it's light pen with a low clip size and it's damage cut off points aren't really that much better than just the default liberator. You will probably only use it once or twice and then move on to better weapons as light pen weapons are just crap to use for the most part as you're so incredibility limited in what targets that you can fight or what part of the enemies you have to hit

The verdict is a good weapon tho if you're lacking a medium pen sidearm as it's a accurate fast and hard hitting pistol

If you like Assault Rifles, the Tenderizer has a love/hate thing going on. It has high damage output, very low recoil... but its Light Penetration and the sound doesn't give you that "brrrrr" machine gun sound.

If you run bugs or Illuminate a lot, it's a good option. Here's a video of a YT'ber testing it after the recent buff:

"Oof brother, you've been damaged!"

The more a YTber talks during one of these videos, the dumber they almost always are.

Not trying to ruin your grind or anything, but it boils down to playstyle ya know? Tendy is cool when paired with other options tat fill gaps in your own loadout. Point is, depending on your interest in the game, your going to have everything fairly soon depending on the amount of time you dive.

I know there are tons of friendly discords out there with lots of great teamplay groups that focus on grinding req, medals and samps. I say that since its a good way to get all the items you want to unlock faster. Regardless, this game is pretty forgiving when it comes to its monetization, through regualr play with zero grinding, eventually youll have it all as well. How you get the unlocks is up to you.

OUt of all the weapons, I have a few that are my go-to's, but i tend to drop in with just about anything and enjoy random loadouts. If I drop in on a grou thats already using my meta, ill try something I rarely use, or just run shield medic for the team.

[Khal'cynee]

idk how good it is, but its very nice looking weapon, really similar to the starship trooper base rifle

[Albino Noodle]

I like it a lot, you do need to fill the medium armour pen gap it makes in your load out but it's still very good, even on max fire rate it shoots like a laser beam.

Thats what the Verdict would be for

[The Magic Walrus]

it's good but if you need a solid workhorse AR you go for the BR-1 Adjudicator.

works well against all factions and it has 95 damage AND Med penetration. 8 mags backup without the Siege Ready armor. so yeah i'd say the BR-14 is the best if you wanna score by factions.

Tenderizer is great against bugs since they have high HP and move fast but then again that's what we have the shotguns for in my opinion

bot front is ruled by marksman rifles since they are heavily weak spot based/

squids are incomplete but so far the tenderizer does pretty well against them.

overall i'd say its a solid B+ weapon. you can take it to most fights but beware the shallow ammo pool. that's its other weakness besides light penetration

[Jagdtiger]

Medium pen is more or less complete bait for newer players. Completely unecessary for bugs and squids on a primary since they are all AP 1 or 2 with the exception of hiveguards faces, and almost completely useless for bots, since the best way to kill them (devastator face and strider rockets) are below AP3. If you can hit the broadside of a barn, you'll never kill a devastator or strider through their medium armour even with a medium pen weapon, making the additional penetration useless in practice. That's why the scythe is usually considered the best AR for bots, with no recoil and a bottomless magazine

[Vivianite]

highest DPS rifle followed by knight smg/killzone smg when set to the higher rof.
slaps against anything not medium armored.
