Favourite Weapons?

[Magpie l87l]

I'm new to the game to be fair even though I've had it since launch, basically I am just wondering what your favourite weapons are and if you could give people hints and tips on how to modify a weapon to make them better..

i lean towards assault rifles,LMGs(Light Machine Guns), and will use my legendary (orange) pump shotgun on resiliant or overly aggressive enemies.

modding or adding mod slots require salvage-a resource youll get from downed enemies or by breaking down unneeded weapons and shields. after getting that familiarize yourself with the barrell,magazine,sight,and stock categories of mods. be sure to check what mod goes to what gun class and learn what mod type within each category fits your playstyle.

eventually youll want to use color rarities and synergy mods (mods with added bonuses and stats) on new weapons or on favorites by removing the old ones.

I've grown attached to the burst shot assault rifles. With the right nano and the right mods, it can have a great balance of damage and accuracy.

i like them myself but only solo-ing because in groups or with my clan i tend to go for fully auto because i need more supressive/mob wiping ability for the more aggressive and safety-neglecting role i tend to take when playing the support role as opposed to the focused pop out to shoot-and roll/seek cover to regen tactics i use by myself.

It is more of a tactical weapon of choice for solo. For group/clan support, light machine guns are another good weapon type. Sometimes when I have a group, most of the players go guns a' blazing, and we have a few behind distant cover focusing on the weak spots of the big guys with snipers and burst shots. Speaking of snipers, I'm a huge fan of the double tap repeater.

I like to use LMG's, have not had chance to own any super ones like but at the moment I believe I'm using a purple named SAW, is this any good?

[Dissentient]

Purple is the second highest level of rarity. The colors represent a weapon's rarity. From low to high: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. Hang on to that SAW

I prefer the full burst assault rifles and light machine guns. But interestingly, lately I've started firing them in short bursts anyway. But having a full burst alternative really saves my butt when fighting 99ers. I fire small, quick bursts in rapid succession against difficult enemies (especially when shooting at their weak spot), but I can also keep firing when I get surrounded by small enemies. Take the small buggers with flamethrowers, for instance. They are really fast, do surprisingly much damage and can take a beating, so full auto really helps. Yes, the crosshair will jump, but I can correct it with the mouse. Not 100% perfect, of course, but enough to keep firing longer than burst shots. I also like Mass Cannons for massive damage (tip: press R to unlead mayhem after you fire), and rapid-fire combat shotguns can be pretty neat.

But my all-time favorite weapon so far? The Dodge. I know better than to try to use them in bug-arkfalls, but against mutants, 99ers and scrappers, anything goes. But it's especially fun on the random events on the roads. Just aim a bit, speed up and splat! Instant fun. Especially with the buggers with the big shields. Hint: Shields work great against bullets. Against cars? Not so much. *grins*

LMG, if only corpses stayed for 5 min or so... Would look awasome ^^

Amen to that. Dodge beats everything. Well, not arkfall bosses, but still. It's a beauty, that thing.
