noice i loved this guide really may help me in what manufacturer im gonna pick :)

[Tholtician]

Fire elemental weapons are effective against flesh, shock weapons against shields and corrosive weapons are good against armor (Runner cars, Alpha skags etc.). Explosive weapons, they are about the same for against anything, but for runner cars they can be a bit better. Hope that helped.
