Everyones weapon of choice?

Detonator and assualt rifle for me.

I have a three round burst AR and a pump action shot gun. Modded the AR w a scope so it's a long range as I need it to be and the shot gun is for anything within 5-7 yards. Love the combo works great

LMG as primary - Preferably a "Saw," but you can max out experience on any LMG pretty quickly. I always have another LMG (already mod'ed up) ready to switch out as soon as I max out the one I'm currently using. Semi-auto sniper rifle as my secondary.

For most missions, I'll pick off as many Raiders/99'ers/Hellbug archers/etc. from as far away as possible (have a couple perks that help that - more damage from a distance, more damage to enemies not in combat, and so on) with a sniper rifle, and when the rest start running at me I just mow 'em down with an LMG. Works pretty well for me!

mine is LMG
