Best weapon in your opinion

[PhantomΩ]

So what weapons would you guys rank as S, A, B tier and the like?

[McFuzz]

It's obviously just breaker and I wish it wasn't so obvious.

[Bill Waggoner]

Not the Scythe, that's for sure. I am absolutely bummed certain weapon damages seem to have been an afterthought, but I'm sure they will adjust them soon enough. Devs have been hella responsive.

Breaker Auto-Shotgun is S-tier, in my book. If you haven't bought it and brought it out, try it next game. It is amazing.

[Big frank]

S Tier for bugs is the breaker. For automatons I've actually found that the standard rifle and the slug shotgun are pretty solid picks, since engagements are at range there. Ironically the marksmen rifles still suck there too.

S Tier: Breaker + Railgun
A Tier:
B Tier:
C Tier:
D Tier:
E Tier:
F Tier:
G Tier: Everything else except Laser cannon.
...
...
Z Tier: Laser cannon

I was hoping for an answer other than breaker, idk why

[Khloros]

IDK if i would put it S tier maybe A tier, but the Auto canon and the Grenade launcher. Literally never not useful.

Best weapon: Breaker
Best support weapon: Railgun
Best orbital stratagem: Orbital railcannon strike

These are all I need.

That is fair and agreed, at the current state. Definitely hope for a rework on the guns, there's barely any reason to use anything other than breaker.

- standard breaker ofc

- auto-cannon as it rips everything to shreds except the heaviest of armor, easily deals with any nests and has a ton of ammo

- railgun

- against automata, I'm not sure yet, but I think that 200 explosive damage dealing assault rifle is not too shabby

- 500kg bomb or orbital railcannon

- stasis field mortar

- backpack shield or drone are also nice


... and that's probably all that's really useful.

Personally, I hope they don't nerf these, and instead buff everything else. I didn't use these because of some "gaming meta" I used these because I genuinely like them.

I'd be happy with just a few tweaks to armor penetration, but we shall see

as far as i can tell after trying a bunch of things, this does seem to be the case, even if i do like the smg for lower level play its still a C at best

[McKillerroy]

I main the second smg you can unlock (not sure how it's called rn) it deals 70dmg per round, in comparison standart liberator deals 55.

I know lots of ppl main the breaker and while it is superior if you need things in front of you to die quickly, it lacks range.

I run arround with light armor and the stamina booster in bug missions, so nothing except a charger can actually catch me.

I rarely bring myself into situations where I need smt to die quickly infront of my face, in fact, when doing (i.e.) nests I rarely shoot anything. I just run straight into the nest and all the bugs chillin' there, collecting probes and clearing the eggs/bug holes. Maybe I'll throw a stratagem in there before going in if there are to much bugs.

The smg I mainly use to get bugs off of further away, reloading team m8's and some bugs that block my path, oh and for those stealthy assassin bugs before they reach me.

Do you like incendiary or standard breaker?
