Author Topic: What weapon do you find most effective for killing players, and why?  (Read 7125 times)


Trying to figure out what players think is the most powerful weapon in the game. Left out gauss, because it's not readily available to the players like other weapons, and usualy to expensive to use in normal player hunting. If you have a fav weapon I left out, feel free to mention it ;)

Of course you leave out the sniper rifle....  Which is the obvious choice...

I like the plasma melt animation, it fits to every critter, including players (and bluesuits!). Voted for Plasma Rifle, a fine weapon.

Laser rifle. Easy availability (it's farmable), high damage crits, good range.

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

Rocket launcher, with a squad of rocket launcher people you will be unstoppable unless you find yourself under attack by a shitload of snipers :D

Not a single vote for avenger? Isn't it slightly more powerful then LSW? Why no one use it?

LSW is generaly better at killing lightly and mediocre armored targets. Also, LSWs are easier to farm, cheaper and eat less ammo.
Not that avenger is a bad weapon, but LSW has more uses

LSW - retard-friendly ultimate gun - in other words it does not requre as much strength as miniguns need, you can farm the ammo easily, range is quite decent and it does insane average damage.

Those FFA events pretty much confirmed there's nothing superior to it when it can't be outranged.
Plasma is worth mentioning due to it's insane damage and long range perk with max 24range - allowing very interesting builds.

Ofcourse if we would talk TC, I'd vote for Rocket Launcher, but this is general poll, right?

EDIT: just noticed you mixed some of the weapons that have little in common, plasma and laser rifles are like apples and oranges. And for plasma pistol one could honorably mention it, It's still insane damage, now in pistol package. Yet it's way too limited to pass the poll.

Where is the fn fal? It can do quite nice damage and if you have two you don't even need to reload 4 burst is a sure good damage even from far from close it can do a lot of nice damage.

Only if you're using the wrong type of ammo for light targets.
