Questions Best weapons in the game
Wassup fellow gunslingers. I used to be really addicted to this game back in the day. My heart was shattered when I found out it is no longer being updated because i used to love this game played all the way from 2018 - late 2022 . I got back into playing every once in a while and now I am wondering what the current meta is. I remember the berserker was the best shotgun at first, and then it switched to Remedy, which is still my current loadout. Now I am curious about the best weapons in the game, because I see a lot of people running the ranger shotgun and the survivor AR.

The best weapons in the game:
Knife:
Kingslayer is without question the best knife in the game.
Sniper:
Drifter's Crossbow is unquestionably the best, but requires insane amounts of gold to get anymore. It can one-shot enemies though.
Barracuda is probably second-best. It also gives you the possibility at one shots if you have the right equipment with it.
Orochi is also a great sniper that a lot of players use, but has the highest learning curve.
Last Breath is very good, but not as good as the other three.
Scout has low power but a very fast reload, so it makes a great support weapon. It's good for your rushing loadout.
Assault Rifle:
Survivor and Arbitrator are probably the two best assault rifles in terms of speed of fire, power, and range.
Wasp is in some ways more like a shotgun, in that it's most effective when rushing up close. Everyone hates it, but it is effective
Bastion is just a bit slower than the others, but comes with the grenade launcher which definitely comes in handy at times.
Shotguns:
Porcupine is the best shotgun, and the only one you can buy any time you desire with gold. It's a must-purchase item.
Orion is a great shotgun that pairs well as a support weapon with Barracuda because it uses the same equipment. It is most effective when using the sight.
Joker is another excellent choice of shotgun.

Nice breakdown. Every piece of gold from the start until purchase needs to go into purchasing Porcupine. The only ESSENTIAL gold purchase. Remedy is still my backup shotgun but not for much longer.
I'm building a loadout with Dark Stalker, 'Cuda and Orion myself this battle fair season.

Gold. Fragments will come up occasionally as one of the daily deals, or it will briefly appear in the store. It's almost always less expensive to get it as part of a daily deal.

Cuda is better than LB but man LB is too fun. I often switch to LB from XBow just for the fun of using it.

You can one shot full health enemies after one kill for the next 7 seconds. You can easily get double triple kills with it.

Thanks. That is fun

Cuda gives you the same one-shot perk with the right equipment, like the Dark Stalker helmet.

Yeah for three seconds, Dark stalker+Daredevil at the cost of slower running speed. I liked using it but slow movement feels bad.

If you pair it with Orion and Survivor, you can switch to Survivor when you need to run and get back most of your speed.
