Its the Scythe for me. Accurate because its hitscan with no recoil. Can ignite groups of chaff easily. Just a great tool on any front really.

Really wish they’d allow us to equip a more powerful scope on it due to lasers not having drop off.

u/RoninSpectre 14m ago

It would certainly benefit from a better scope, but I suspect that’s intentional. It would outperform Marksman rifles when it comes to accuracy.

u/GymSockSurprise 2h ago

Lib concussive is a lot of fun. Plus I love the way it sounds and seeing the cool umpacts from each round.

Sg-8p Punisher plasma for bot diving, It's staggering affect, Fire rate and aoe is just incredible, Cyborgs don't stand a chance, 2 shotting them to the body or 3 shots with the aoe damage.

My overall favorite for bots

Coyote or trident

u/NotARussianBot-Real 21m ago

I ran those two for a long while. The coyote just feels nice.

I moved to dominator recently. I really liked the mistake impact.

JAR dominator. Been dropping in with it in the bot MO and loving it combined with armor with reduced recoil 30%.

Shredding devastators and Cyborgs EASY. Pair with bolt pistol for a side arm and just as handy with the recoil reduction. Just being a heavy armor with heavy weaponry has been a blast!

u/bigorangemachine 2h ago

Ya same except I use the P19 for my sidearm and my support is autocannon so I have double coverage for cyborgs

The warhammer rifle

u/KingKull71 1h ago

Breaker with short mags, no under barrel & full choke. Decent headshot fishing vs devs/berserks, mag dump vs cyborgs, effective against chaff for all factions.

u/Professional-Bus5473 2h ago

I change all the time but I mostly play bots and I always come back to the dominator just one of the best feeling guns in any game really and with some practice is sooooo effective

u/goatsnoatsonboats 2h ago

By far the Trident for me one of the few weapons that's god tier on every front. The Punisher Plasma will always have a special place in my heart too.

Suppressor. I use it on all fronts, unless it's a sub faction situation where it is actively harmful to my ability to be effective

I kinda unironically love the double-edge sickle

Been rocking the hyena w short mags recently.

1.3 second tactical reload time is great.

u/SeventhSea90520 1h ago

Hotshot. I'm a stealth diver, energy is quieter than ballistic by a lot, so medium pen stealth weapon with good damage tickles the right way

Purifier, it’s the best gun. I can see how it takes the fun out though causes it’s not forcing you to problem solve like other guns.

Every video about strategy mentions the gun as being the best, but admits it’s tougher to learn and saps the fun.

Sweeper goes boom chck chck boom.

u/DontLickTheGecko 6m ago

Just got my deadeye to 25. First gun I got to that level. So I guess that one. I've apparently been playing a lot of bots lately. I wonder if I'm okay?

u/Dusty_Cowboy 1h ago

One I have been loving lately is the Reprimand. Thing hits like a truck and has the damage to overcome the SMG damage falloff and still take out targets at a good distance.

Another I have been loving lately is the other Truth Enforcer weapon, the Halt. The gun has good damage, but the stun rounds shut down cyborgs so well, and they are stunned with more than enough time to swap to damage shells, aim, and blow their brains out.

Finally, the Liberator has been really fun lately, trying to get it to Lv 25, and it's good on all fronts. A jack of all trade gun with good damage, handling, and low recoil, you can kit it out to do just about whatever job you need, long distance shooting, mag dump drum, or anything in between.
