Best primary gun against robots?

[Supernautilus]

Title. I tried the 1st one you get and also the shotgun but the bullets just bounce off them! Is there a primary gun that actually penetrates their armor??

[Salted Rogue]

There are med-armor penetrating guns later in the battlepass but they are kinda mid. Its better to shoot at the head or use AP weapons (Railgun go brrr).

[BEEP!]

Breaker first one it just flat out destroys almost everything even the two armed chainsaw guys get ripped apart in a second

[Tegiminis]

If you shoot their joints, you can still blow their limbs off with the shotgun.

[Fannidan13]

Either the DMR or the Liberator Pen.

Full auto shotgun 100%

For what it's worth, here's my suggestions.

Liberator, on FA or Burst, aiming for the head even on Devastators (the heavily armored walkers that aren't Hulks) works, a Devastator with a rocket pack, aim for the rockets to disable them and get in good damage to boot.

Diligence DMR, headshots on Devastators and head or torso (or mag dump) on Berserkers. A round to the chest downs the basic infantry and no bot has survived more than two hits with one. Just remember not to fire on the move as it really suffers in that situation compared to burst Liberator.

Breaker auto-shotgun is a great pick, with up to roughly 40 meters effective range on infantry, though double tap for safety while aiming center mass. The pellet spread makes headshoting Devastators easier and dumping a mag into a hulk's rear grill weak point can take them out in one go.

I've heard great things about the Dominator for bot fighting, but I've not used it myself.

For side arms, the Autopistol is great, able to mag dump to down Berserkers and quick burst infantry. That said, the Senator revolver has medium armor pen and solid accuracy to headshot Devastators.

I actually quite like the slugger for them, but it's probably just me.

nah thats a g00d gun

i als0 suggest the sc0rcher plasma rifle

[UnhappyCLOWN]

Best primary I think for robots is the laser weapon. It's ass for bugs, but works good on robots.

[Cryptic]

I like the heavy assault rifle against bots

Personally, if you can fit it into the rest of the team loadout I really enjoy the combination of protector SMG with ballistic shield, senator revolver and grenade launcher.

You potentially still need the EAT-17 as AT-weapon, so it is a fairly costly loadout in terms of stratagem slots, but I really enjoy the aggressive run and gun combat it allows for.

My personal favorite primarys against robots: Scythe or Slugger

With robots its more of a hit them at their weakspot.
