Favorite class of weapons

[Apteryx]

What kind of weapons do you gravitate to in games, and why? For me, I will usually pick a sniper because high, instantaneous damage is always useful. I also like shotguns because no matter what, you have a much higher chance of hitting your target. As a secondary, I love pistols because the recoil is usually great, and headshots with a pistol are fun to pull off. If it's a fantasy game like Skyrim, I always go for a one-handed broadsword because they usually have the best balance between damage and swing time.

That's a very hard choice.
I think polearms are generally pretty OP both in real life and in video games.

None, i dont like weapons

Litigation seems to be the most effective weapon these days.

We need to see it represented in more games. Someone get SBI on it.

I have never really used spears, lances, polearms, or any long weapons. I had a Skyrim mod that added stuff like that but I picked one up, and immediately dropped it because I value DPS over short bursts of damage. I know that's hypocritical since I said I like sniper rifles, but snipers can hit someone from anywhere assuming you have like of sight, while polearms still require you to enter melee range

Anything that is very "explode-y" or provides the most dakka per milisecond.

Bows. In every RPG that has that option, I would always pick bows.

So daggers, assault rifles, smgs, and micro missile launchers?

Even in games like Oblivion where the hit detection is super jank

Well yeah... A polearm isn't going to beat a sniper rifle lol
But a polearm still has superior reach to swords/axes/maces/etc.

Sniper > Polearm > Sword but if you are at very short ranges then Sniper < Polearm < Sword

I only played a little bit of Oblivion, but yeah, even if a game has jank with bows, I still try to rock em. I did play Skyrim a lot, though; sometimes I still play it.

I could imagine how a polearm would be useful especially going up against a medium range melee build like I play. In that fight, you would definitely win unless your opponent somehow got in close and let off a flurry of attacks to whittle your health down

AXES

[Voroff]

Orbital cannon, revolver-fed grenade launcher, or axe.
