So we have a worst guns thread but what about the best guns in the game?

Best as in favorite or best as in THE best Iownyouallwiththis gun?

If favorite, I like the Ranger Sequoia

But if best as in "ownz", I would say Fat Man...in god mode :rock:

Worst guns is easier than best gun tbh. Most agreed on the BB gun, .22 silenced and laser pistol as being dreadfull

Best simply depends on the build of ur PC and personal preference. I love the COS sniper rifle, however as a EW specialist I love the unique Gauss Rifle, currently loving my playthrough with the Lucky and Vance's 9mm SMG. For melee obviously the Oh Baby! and Knock knock for me. Allround I think the All American would be the best choice. Can't really say which is best though, it's contingent tbh.

I typically prefer any and all rifles. If I had to choose, I would probably say a Sniper Rifle+. Although the Gauss is a close second.

One of the best pistols you can get fairly early on is Lucky which can be extremely useful to any character. Thump Thump is right behind Mercy as the best explosives weapon in my opinion, it has incredible range and is more power then the grenade launcher or rifle. I'd have to say that the absolute best overall weapon in the game is the CZ57 Avenger. With the right perks it can have over 500 DPS which is the highest in the game, combine this with the -10 DT given to regular 5mm rounds and an amazingly low spread makes this gun a destroyer of absolutely everything.

Usage is also a big factor in what makes a particular gun the 'best'.

For a sniper, the Sniper Rifle++ is the best if he's about stealthy long-range kills, however if he's a big-game hunter the AMR is probably a better choice despite the noise, since it will actually kill the targets.

Similarly, a close-range assassin-type will get a lot of mileage out of a silenced 12.7mm or 10mm Pistol, but not have much use for a Ranger Sequoia or Hunting Revolver despite the fact they hit like trucks.

Line Infantry types would want a Service Rifle over the LMG a Heavy Weapons Trooper considers his prize possession.

And so on.

There really is no one 'best' weapon, as no one weapon can do everything; this is a good thing, as it encourages different characters to use different weapons.

It's not an Energy Weapon, that's for sure.


My vote goes for AMR. It deals a lot of damage, has scope, and is suited for almost every situation (unlike real-life AMR's, which aren't all that practical in indoors fighting)

I'd say the sniper rifles in all flavours, though i have a special place in my heart for the AMR & the RatSlayer early in game.

Mercy

For me, a 10mm is always awesome. So :fallout:
But the main thing I use is powerfist and the unique laser rifle. Now days it's LEAR tho.

depends really, each skill has their own King and 'Queen' of killing and godliness. Explosives have the Fatman and Mercy. Guns have the AMR, and Avenger. Energy weapons have the Alien Blaster/unique Gauss Rifle and the Holorifle. Melee has Oh Baby! and Inversal Proton Axe. Finally, Unarmed has Pushy and Ballistic Fist.

all of these weapons I listed here are basically the kings of DPS, Damage, and just plain badassness in any situation its been given.

as an Explosive player, my reward for best gun is Fatman or Mercy imo. Clearing a mountain side with just a push of a trigger and watching Deathclaws fly with missing limbs is just too good to be true :celebration: . That or watching some punk of a raider gang come at you while you have Mercy out, and snicker as one shot sends them all splattering on the ground.

The 12.7 MM Smg. 1 of the best, it never fails against a human target, usually. Did have a hard time taking on the Brotherhoods armor with regular rounds though. Also if youre looking for a weapon easy to maintain and cheap ammo, Vances 9mm is good too. I like the new rifles but wish they woulda kept an all purpose assault rifle. No scope like the regular assault rifle, but the kick of the 5.56 marksman carbine. Its like taking the assault rifle from FO3 and disassembling it to make 2 guns. Side note, is there any way to get the infiltrator you see in the cage at Mic & Ralphs anywhere in the game?

Anti-Material rifle or the CZ57 avenger

Automatic Rifle+, CZ57 Avenger, and Plasma Caster+.
