Worst Gun In the Game?

[KodiakDuck]

Heavy Scatter gun. They were awesome prenerf. Now I salvage them without even bothering to look at the stats. The regular scatter guns have either equal or superior stats.

So there I am - enjoying all the additional loot (that i can't pick up my because my inventory is permanently full)

And a Mutant drops an "FRC Heavy Assault Rifle"

One of my main weapons of use is the FRC assault Rifle - which fitted with a scope is brilliant for taking people out at mid-long range - So this must be better right?

WRONG!
what a useless gun.

It looks great, it sounds amazing - fits in with my character well (using VBI/human weapons) but the thing is useless.

Even with maxed out overcharge I'm getting crits below 800 with single shot action.
It could be a good gun - I see someone is selling one with a 3 burst magazine - hmmm that could work. But as a single shot rifle - it's useless - easily the most useless gun I have found in game.

So I was wondering, what are the other weapons so poor that they just become pointless?

I think the pistol category has the weakest weapons in the game. The Bull Rush for instance is pathetic against PvP because there is no knock back in PvP and its useless against AI as well compared to all the other guns in the game.

I wouldn't say Pistols are the weakest - there are a mix, mostly good, some awesome and some not worth bothering with. The Bull Rush is - almost - good, but the thing that lets it down is the sheer inaccuracy (aimed or hip). It's basically only usable at point-blank and spamming. They will fall over and die quick but crits are more luck than judgment.

The Wolfhound is basically a short-range sniper rifle with better hip-fire and 3 times the ammo. The Wolverine is dirty accurate and goes nicely with a syphon nano.

You just have to bear in mind the falloff range and not try to use them outside their optimal range.

lol, what? I can drop people in PVP with about 5-8 shots with my Heavy Assault Rifle. Only thing I modded was the stock. The Siphon/EMP weps work best.

The only truly ****ty assault rifle in the game is the Disrupter. No idea why anyone would ever use that. It's slow as hell and the damage really isn't all that great.

Because of this thread I'm now experimenting with a Northstar Flare and something about this gun just makes me giddy. Granted I'll need to see what a modded one can do in PvP.

And yeah the Disrupter I can't get my head around, there has to be something I'm not seeing about it otherwise why put such a terrible weapon into a game?

I mean, I suppose you could put a burst mod on it....but that fire rate is ******* awful. I was pretty surprised that it was reward from a storyline mission.

The VOT Disruptor. Its just... bad. I love the VOT weaponry, but the Disruptor needs a damage boost. I think it should rival the SAW in damage ouput. It is an LMG after all.
