What weapon for chaplain?

[L3pr4ch4un]

I had flamers, and i hateeeeee not being able to see stuff. But that aside, (and flamer aside) what's the best weapon to up for chaplain/generally best (FF capable).

And tactical too..

I have hellfire for apoth, plasma cannon for heavy (altho i dont use him on ff), and sword for assault.

Help appreciated (Just trying to get a set of fleshed out arnolds for FF capable rounds). Thanks :D

Actually might as well ask, what's a good FF friendly weapon for heavy - and which is better between the chaingun, and vengence?

I couldnt possibly play with others.. I like all the weapons that make it hardest to see...

Stormbolter mk1/mk2 or Redemption for apo/chap/tac.
Spear of caliban for chap/tac only if IQ 70 or higher(all credits to bardur). ;)
Assault / Veng. for hvy.
Plasma cannon only if IQ 90 or higher (all credits to bardur). ;)
Mostly using Assault Cannon with hvy or spear with tac..
NM-FF on.

Heavy Flamer or btfo

forreal tho if you look at the chaps perks, the only weapon related one is for the crozius, or the spear of caliban.

If you wanna use the crozius, I'd recommend the mk-2 bolter over the mk-1 version. Faster rate of fire means you can pump out dps faster. It's pretty bad for sniping stuff from afar, but you should have little trouble getting headshots from up close (which is the only proper way to do good dps with bolters tbh).
For the crozius itself, go with speed mod. Hitting faster is better than hitting harder imo.
Haven't tried the Spear at all, so I can't speak here.
The Redemption is good by itself, shame it can't be used with the crozius.

Flamer is a top tier weapon whether FF or not. It outperforms practically anything else, maybe except upgraded plasma cannon in non-FF games.
Anything else is way weaker.
I'd say the order is
- Spear of Caliban (except against white stealers - runs out of ammo very fast and then you're f.cked)
- Redemption - this is a very solid mid-tier weapon for any class, can even shoot far with the choke mod (accuracy I think)
- Bolter Mk2 - good DPS, very inaccurate, consider it a close-range weapon. Actually good against smaller blobs of white stealers, when you have to throw out a lot of damage quickly
- Bolter (normal) - sniper weapon.
