Favourite weapon/Mod/Mutator combos? (self.remnant)

Hey all!

Thought I'd get an discussion going about one of the most integral parts of gameplay and builds: the weapons!

I know that it's currently really hard to swap weapons whole doing the campaign, as materials and scrap are super hard to come by. But some discussion with interesting ideas on what one could focus on next seems interesting to me :D

For the long gun:

  • Blackmaw AR-47, with Hot Shot mod (auto reload, 15% dmg buff and nice fire dot) as well as the Momentum Mutator (gain crit chance upon crit ting, stacking 10 times). This makes for a good DPS and sustained fire, nice range and relatively precise weapon.

For the sidearm:

  • MP60-R, with Healing Shot mod (extra safety net / healing in coop) and the Deadly calm (more ranged dmg when ADS) or Bandit (chance to regain ammo in magazine on hit). Not super happy with the sidearm, but I haven't found many mutators, so I kinda swap to what I feel like works best.

So what are your fav weapons and combos right now? :)

I just started using the Blackmaw AR with corrosive rounds. I had also picked up an amulet from N'erud that adds more Corrosive damage. I think the Blackmaw is just a good base gun especially when it comes to Mod recovery.

The Blackmaw is INCREDIBLY good while being easy to use. I recently switched to the 1860 Rifle though to pair with fast firing or low range sidearms I find interesting (esp. the elemental guns).

Have you tried the Bandit mutator on the Blackmaw? That thing basically fires for minutes if you get lucky enough :D

I haven't used that mutator. I'll check it out 👍

I think it's available at the vendor in ward 13, if you haven't got it yet.

And I know it's an investment, but the lvl 10 upgrade really let's the mutator shine with the increased fire rate. If you have the resources, try it out! :)
