Best weapons for arkfalls?

[Whippersnapper]

I'm seeing people doing over 2 mil damage in major arkfalls and wonder what weapons they use. Sometimes I exceed them in the # of kills, but in damage, I don't even come close. It's like their firing non-stop or something.

I will often use an AR and Rocket Rebounder, or similar grenade launcher. Sometimes I will use my AR and BMG because I noticed I get more keycodes that way, though my dps & kills suffer. Ive also used an LMG/Shotgun and SMG/Shotgun.

Regardless, I never even get close to those numbers Im seeing in the top 5. I do not even get half that.

Note: This is during arkfalls where no vehicle lamers are present.

Ground pounders/ponders.

LMGs.-the FRC ones.

As said above, love how people NOW only use Ground Pounders after I told so many people at Arkfalls that they were the best for it, yet they kept using Swarm/Rebounder Cannon and those other weapons. Also Wolfhound pistols are uber powerful against the critical hit mobs. The main reason people have over 2 mill damage is mainly because they've been at the arkfall since the start and have been doing massive amounts of crits.

pretty much exactly what Xazur said. In case you have not noticed it includes the damage from all the minor one's leading up to the major one. Not just the end boss fight. Also crits do tons of damage and explosives that hit lots of things and perks to increase that damage all help contribute to tons of damage at the end.

Yes I know it includes all. I do all.

Ground pounders? The grenade launchers? Lot of those are manual detonation and only one does 1,300dmg. The others are 800dmg. Or is there a strategy on their placement or something Im missing?

LMG with 100+ mag, only hitting crit spots, using Overload constantly as well as timing it for reloads. Mass aoe explosives for the rare occasions you run out of ammo on the lmg. Don't forget grenades as well and using crit mods.

Best weapon is important but your back-up weapon is important too, I go with something to read when the servers are down!

I kid, I kid!

On Hellbug Arkfalls (especially destroy crystal ones with the skitterling bites) .. Wolfhound pistol, aim for the vulnerable spots and fire as fast you can.
