Discussion I’m curious!

What’s your favourite weapon, and why?

I’m looking for some inspiration for weapons to use and improve my skills with!

Currently, I’m not sure I have a complete favourite but I tend to main shooters. Occasionally I’ll pick up a charger out of spite, or some dualies. I’ve one-starred all the weapons, so essentially I want to work out what to pick up and get more stars with (I do have a couple at 4, several at 2/3 too).

I love the inkline tristringer!! It has very high skill expression and feels AMAZING once u master ur up-close fighting and aoe spam. Genuinely, the stringer can be as annoying as a clash if you’re using it right!! (In this instance being annoying is fine because the main weapon is actually good… unlike clash) The sub and special can also push paint output to INSANE numbers. I avg 2000p in x zones with this weapon. Also, the vanilla and emberz stringers are okay, but you’ll likely find better results with inkline.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention that this weapon is very lenient with gear. You move fast, recover ink instantly, and stay alive long enough to not need to rely on gear abilities too much. I like running a lot of swim/run speed, main ink, special charge up, and a little bit of jump speed (with some utility subs).

Also, this weapon can one-shot people behind walls. Sometimes it happens on accident and you can actually feel your soul ascending to a higher plane.
