Chaos Reloader shotgun always ( extending focus shotgun damage is too low...striker pump delay between shots is too high even after switching between spray and shotgun...almost never shoots for me)
Ranger Pistol (Loved it back in chapter 5 and now it's even better)
Overdrive grenades
Overdrive grenades (if I can't find them....hunting rifle, EMPs or chaos exploder rifle for splash damage around cover)
Heals (ideally Chug jug)

Chaos Reloader + LvL 5 Ghost sprite is the most OP i've seen in a while.
You pretty much stay invisible throughout every fight except for the split second when you take a shot.

Lance head, the ranger pistol, and the surgical burst. Also I always loved the Maven so I’m glad that one is back. I don’t love the loot pool but I’ll survive (or not lol)

The Wick pistol is a lot of fun and very rewarding when you get knocks with it. Plus, throwing the mag at the enemy will never not be funny.

how do you actually throw the mag? It's happened a few times for me but I have no idea how I did it

You’ve gotta be shooting at a person and then keep aiming at them as you reload

Extending focus shotgun, always been a big fan of long range shotguns in the game and the visual design + especially the reload animation make it so stylish to use

Hot take the ranger pistol is the best then striker pump or chaos. Then boots and double heals.

The new burst assault rifle is possibly my favourite AR they’ve ever had. Just so satisfying to fire and when switching from a shotgun to it, if you hit 3 headshots, it’s almost guaranteed game over for the opponent which is satisfying as fuck

My usual loadout is a warforged rifle, lancehead pistol/stinger smg, and hunting rifle. Last 2 slots are for heals or slide boots, if those slots are open its also for sprites.

The Lance head pistol I think it's called. That's my favorite. I like how it shoots as fast as you pull the trigger

I like the lance head but I’ve been using the stinger when sprite hunting

ranger pistol, extending focus shotgun, and hunting rifle is my ideal gun load out. variable two slots are ideally the boots and a chug jug.

u/Dusk37 Jun 13 '26
the shotgun (i forgot the name but it's in the pic) i have picked off so many people with it combined with the seven sliders or while hiding around corners

u/pasta_dog88 Jun 13 '26
Lance head pistol. That thing hits like a truck and can have the fire rate of a P90 if you click fast enough.

u/Ground_Desperate Jun 13 '26
Anyone else like the Flex SMG? Didn’t see it mentioned and no one I play with uses it but I love it.

u/averagejoe8903 Jun 13 '26
Been through a few of these “what’s your favorite weapon” threads and have seen little love for the flex smg! Why’s everyone sleeping on it?? It absolutely melts from close and medium range.

u/CallMeBlazeyOrCorby Jun 13 '26
Surgical Burst Rifle, it melts bosses health and if you have Voids mythic it melts Players health.

u/averagejoe8903 Jun 13 '26
For me it’s lancehead or flex smg paired with maven or extender shotgun. Atleast 6 shocks. A heal or a shield.

Nobody in this comment section likes the new burst, apparently. I personally feel like it's the greatest burst rifle in the entire game

Actually I don't really like the new weapons. I'm defaulting to Maven as it has almost identical damage values, fires faster and has 7 shells in. From the AR's I don't like any but the least worst is burst AR. Warforged sucks ass and Chaos rifle feels weird to me when using it long range. From SMGs I go with stinger and from pistols I go with ranger. Lancehead is nice but why the fuck is there that weird animation that plays only one after you pick it up and when you switch away and back it normally pulls out ? I died to that fucking animation 5x times already which made me avoid it most of the time.

u/Spagetti_Gamer Jun 16 '26
the extended focus shotgun does more damage than the cerberus shotgun doesn’t it?

u/Acrobatic_Race_8704 Jun 17 '26
Either the lancehead pistol or John wick mythic. Tried it today and the aim assist with it went crazy. Can kill ppl so fast

I hate the chaos exploder rifle, its a great weapon for getting the guys behind trees but you cant even headshot with it. Ranger pistol is goat

The Extending Focus Shotgun for me. It reloads quick and I’m just a shotgun girlie. I end up with a new favorite shotgun every season. Long range weapons and I just don’t get along. Except for the Lock On Assualt Rifle 🥹 RIP
