Your opinion on the most weapon dmg.

[violet]

What weapon in the game does the most dmg, with what attachments and perks.

[malaclypse]

they're pretty well balanced. find a playstyle you like. personally i tend to run assault rifle main. good damage, great rate of fire and range.
submachine guns are nearly as nice, but suck ammo fast.

a good BMG is a must for major arkfalls, since they never run dry.

at least one aoe piece, i like the sticky manual detonation grenades, plus they aren't as visually offensive as rocket launchers. (never use cluster rocket launchers with other people around, it's just a **** move)

combat shotguns are solid, if you like to run up and blast things, you can also get a buttstock mod that increases melee dmg.

i'm not a fan of the sniper rifles, or any of the other shotgun types personally, but i'm sure they're useful to people who want to go that route.

infectors are more for fun, i never got the chance to try using them seriously. pistols can be just as useful as anything else, but not my style.

Sniper rifle does the most single shot dmg they can crit for a ton of dmg on a headshot with overload and other perks.

[Komakala]

It all depends. Sniper rifles and pistols tend to do the most damage using a single pull of the trigger. During beta I found a fantastic orange sniper rifle base damage of 1271 but I was able to pull off crits of 20k on certain enemy types. LMGs do less damage per bullet but with the large magazines can spew bullets for longer than all the other guns. ARs are decent all around. SMGs are great burst fire. Detonators and Rocket Launchers tend to do decent splash damage at the cost of lower max damage.

I think the biggest damage weapon I've run across, is a Full Auto VOT Pump Shot Gun Electric effect (That's not a joke). The FRC heavy hits harder, but the VOT has crazy rate of fire and twice the rounds puts out a lot of damage, but get reload speed mods as you still reload 1 by 1 with the ability to fire in between each of the rounds. But to get the best out of these weapons, you need to be up close and hit high.

What's a BMG?

I found alot of diffrent weapons, I'm closing in on 300 EGO.
I always end up using my shotgun cause it's so much stronger and has this AoE effect on those tiny creatures.
And I haven'th found a new sniper since the first quest gave me one. Atleast none with higher dmg and crit multiplier.
Maybe we just wont do 1 shot kills to the head on normal sized enemies later in the game?

got a shotty that discharges it's entire 16round mag in a single shot.. fast reload...

but really... orange sniper at 1440 dmg per hit base+ mods and full set bonus=20-25k hits..

BMG is a Bio Magnetic Gun, Left clicking shoots out a beam of electricity that damages your enemies. Right clicking sends out a beam that heals allies. Most BMGs have the ability to link, so you can aim at one guy and if there are 2 other enemies by him the link will also damage them.

These guns are unique because they never run out of ammo. They start at 100% charge and run down. Reloading just recharges them to 100% again.

Are they super rare?

[Komakala]

No they are fairly common, just some people have more luck finding them in drops than others. You get one for a quest reward for one of the main story missions.
