What weapons are people liking so far? I know it has only been a few hours.
There are too many voteless for the diligence counter sniper, I was burning through ammo, switched to the breaker incendiary and it was a small improvement, but still burned through ammo.
As far as support weapons, my beloved quasar doesn’t really do much, I thought the AMR was decent paired with a crowd control primary, one shot kill if you headshot the overseers. Saw a lot of players trying out the machine gun and doing alright with it as well.
The Tenderizer (with fire rate set to high) is pretty great at clearing enemy waves of voteless. Every time you spawn with it you have to change the fire rate though.
Quasar Cannon was kind of mid when I used it. I ended up liking the Laser Cannon more than it, but neither were really cutting it for me against Harvesters. Laser Cannon was decent at killing Overseers though.
Machine guns in general were pretty decent when I used them against Harvesters and Overseers.
The Senator was good for killing enemy Overseers in a pinch. It took ~5 shots to kill when body shotting, and with headshots I was able to kill in 2-3 shots.
If you use the Tenderizer, the Quasar Cannon, and the FRV at the same time I swear you can almost hear smooth jazz playing in the background.....
I settled on the sythe and the machine guns so far, name of the game seems to be lots of bullets. Knives and railgun are mostly useless, though railgun will make short work of a tripod once the shields are down and you hit it in the eye.
I had a good time with a full laser load out - sickle, laser cannon, guard dog. Ammo was never a problem.
The eruptor drops sheilds fast. Not sure it works well with crowds though
