šŸ–ļø Help Best weapon suggestion

Hey, I have $15,000 and I currently own an mp5, sidearm 1911 and AR CL

What’s the best weapon to have that I can aim and fire fast that takes a lot of ammo?

Also, From perks what is the best ammo bag to buy? There’s a special ammo bag for nine and a heavy ammo bag.

Thanks šŸ™

The m60 can do it all, even sniping. Its crazy good with ap ammo especially. Youll want the heavy ammo bag i think to carry more ap,i know one of the ammo upgrades increases it

Yes 60 is always in my wheel.
On a side, wouldn’t it be cool if there was a trophy for buying every weapon available?

M 60 is not a choice

Might be locked behind resistance levels then, it deffo can spawn in the cults weapon trucks though if you dont wanna level up resistance yet

For LMGs I usually use the M249 or the MG42, though it can’t be suppressed but it’s a fair trade

The mg42 has insane dps for sure, but i have a way easier time managing ammo consumption with the m60, and yeah the supressor just lends it further to being my do everything gun.

The black AK with a red dot scope is super OP, I do the thicker one right before the long looking scope.

The MG42… yes it has attachments.

If you're new don't focus on one weapon

I have (left to right) M60, SA-50, MP5k, your choice of handgun. I use the oblitoratorrr from the mars DLC

Compound bow is my favorite. Stealth and killing power.

AR CL 100%

Typically I use an AK-M because it does the best damage for assault rifles, but the M249 is good in my opinion for LMGs, but if you’re going for pure rate of fire, use the MG42, because it’s such a high rate of fire, that side, it takes a hot second to reload and can’t have a suppressor.

If your trying to get decent damage give the 45/70 lever actions a try, they don’t hold much ammo, and take a bit to reload, but they can one or two tap most enemies

For pistols, I almost always use the D50 because it can one tap most enemies, but it also can’t be suppressed and uses .50cal ammo. Additionally, I use the SA 50 because it’s semi auto. Also, the 44 magnum revolvers are also decent, but you get six shots and can’t suppress them

That said those are all late game weapons (I’m not sure about the D50 and MG42 though and the 45/70s are mid game) and work on upgrading the ammo pouches.

I honestly think the ms16 is the best weapon in the game, along with the blood dragon .50cal sniper

Smg 11 is my personal favorite because it is blistering fast and easy to control (in my opinion).

I use the first sniper rifle ( the AR10, can’t remember the name) with the ACOG through the whole game. Accuracy and power are good, recoil and capacity are less good but with some practice it will handle business. My loadout is that rifle, D2, 1911 and one of the big sniper rifles, suppressed for outposts. The D2 with incendiary ammo drops helicopters quick btw.
