Guns to use for PvE (Solo Quests/Arkfalls/side missions) ?

Atm kinda have my heart set on Assault Rifle/SMG or LMG ?

Assault rifles work great, use up ammo quite quickly unless you're lucky with drops.
SMG's do a lot less damage, but lots of ammo.

Ideally if you can get a Sniper Rifle and Assault Rifle in loadout one, then a Shotgun/anything and BMG in the other, those weapons will hold their own in most situations early on. Don't forget you've got grenades and EGO powers as backup, use them as often as possible. As you open up more loadouts you'll find things a lot easier.

LMG's for sure...

The accurate ones work the best with a mag extender and total damage+ barrell
the only trick is learning the whole reload when you take cover routine.

p.s Decoy is great for solo.

Edit: I personally use an Frontier LMG with a BMG set for healing (not that useless shield BS)

What about Overpower ?

[Maderyx]

My primary Weapon were Sniper and whateva good SMG/AR i could find. Sometimes even a Shotgun that shots Grenades and not normal Shells. But SMG/AR/LMG are needed. Every1 i saw in Alpha/Beta had 1 in Loadout.

My Egopower was Cloak. which isnt that great but easiest way to get some great Perks.
Decoy is prob. the best for Soloplay.
Overcharge is a great Egopower especially against Strong Enemies like Mutant Minigunner/Grenadier or Elite Hellbug Warrior.

Melee and grenades are your friend early on, combined with cloak it saves the ammo. Worked for me

What about Overpower ?

Overcharge is good to but when it comes to survivability nothing beats being able to use a decoy for a distraction then warping to it when it reaches cover.

Yeah, I primarily used sniper / SMG during the beta, switching to a BMG and/or some kind of rocket launcher for some of the big Arkfall mobs, etc.

due to the high damage and low fire rate for LMGs i never had a problem with ammo

[Drakeos99]

I hate melee iv prefer range but thanks for the loadout thingy ill give it a go but I LOVE sniper/assault used that alot in beta 3 alot until i came across infector :P
