10 Worst Weapons?

Discussion in 'PlanetSide 2 Gameplay Discussion' started by Campagne, Jan 30, 2018.

    If were talking only infantry weapons, then here's my list for worst weaponry:
    1. Any flare pistol ever
    2. Cerberus
    3. T4 AMP
    4. 99SV
    5. Gauss SPR
    6. NS-7 PDW
    7. HunterQCX
    8. NS-44L Showdown (this is an extremely rare reward weapon)
    9. FA1 barrage/ Thanatos VE70/ Mauler S6 (they are all statistically identical)
    10. NS-44L backhand

    This is my personal list, in roughly the correct order. Obviously this only factors in infantry weaponry, though if I was including vehicle weaponry, the only real change would be to add the C75 viper and G60 bulldog to the list.

    Admittedly, I only barely am keeping the jackal SMG off this list, mostly on account of the fact that its expected to get a buff in the near future. Of course, I tend to find any SMG that is not the NS-7 or the Jackal to be really good right now.

    How do you list the Jackhammer in a worst weapon list? Slap on a laser sight and laugh at your detractors. Stupidly easy weapon to be effective with.

    Some of mine?

    Probably a selection of LMGs because I hate having no hipfire capability.

    High RoF weapons if you don't have a powerful GPU.

    Trac shot should have a different set of attachments. A shiny Trac 5 with a foregrip and free soft point or even high velocity ammo would be really good. Alas somebody in development way back when decided that all directive carbines receive a laser light, underbarreled shotgun and soft point so the Trac-Shot is bound to forever suck because of a lack of foregrip.

    Lets see

    Beamer
    Cereberus
    Manticore
    Lasher (here's the problem it doesn't "lash" see planetside 1 for a full explanation on the lasher) if it was renamed to the splasher...
    CME
    All G2A rockets
    Flak turrets/Skyguard (hint its in the name were it fails)
    One hit kill knives
  6. DrPapaPenguin

    Horrible HORRIBLE H O R R I B L E gun handling with its triple burst mode. It feels horribly inaccurate with an awful damage output. Will use Pilot any day over it.
  7. raffa2

    But the Tx1 repeater is an extremely good starter, its damage output at close range is pretty high, it's like having a mini uzi at hand, obviously when fired in single mode is a lot more precise, but the damage is extremely low aswell.
    If you use it within its recommendable range, you won't have problems at shooting bursts instead of using single mode.
  8. DrPapaPenguin

    It's absolute **** for my playstyle, hence I consider it a **** weapon.

    I don't need a sidearm that competes with a knife in terms of effective range, and even T4 AMP with its pitiful per shot damage felt more responsive.
  9. raffa2

    Well i guess your playstyle involves high velocity ammo, i suggest you use your secondary to compensate what's your primary is lacking rather than picking a long range rifle with a long range pistol, for example i'd pick the repeater over the blackhand every day on my heavy assault on base captures, and i mainly use the MSW-R with soft point, which is pretty good even at range.
  10. Dualice

    Ah come now, a knife is a bit unfair... a sword, perhaps? :p

    In all seriousness, yeah I could see why its bloom and lack of accuracy would be off-putting. I actually prefer the AMP myself after it got tweaked, but Emperor is still my go-to sidearm.
  11. OldMaster80

    To me the worst is the 99-SV, the default TR sniper rifle.
    The AMR-66 was also painful to auraxium,I really hated that thing.
    The Trac Burst is neither a good gun for my style. Probably I am not good enough at aiming, but I preferred the old version before they "buffed" it.

    On the other hand I found the Trac-S pretty nice. In the end it's the old good Trac with a little less accuracy but underbarrel attachments. It's nice if you play flanking LA.

    Btw... The Jackhammer really? That thing is a ******* nightmare. When I hear the sound and I know that stuff is around I flee frightened like a kid who is pissing in the pants.
  12. DrPapaPenguin

    Hey, I still want bayonets in this game xD

    Who needs swords when you have a trusty pointy spike on the end of your gun to tickle them campers with?
    Or I can literally use any other secondary and feel that I get a far more reliable gun. If repeater suits you - you do you, I'm glad you make it work. I will see absolutely no use out of it.
  13. Icehole1999

    I don’t have 10 weapons I don’t like, but here’s the ones I’ve got:

    Carv.

    Battle rifle.

    Default snipers.

    M77

    Default Beamer pistol.

    Heavy Cycler.

    That NC MAX AV that has to reload every shot.

    Both default VS MAX weapons.

    Anti Air turrets.

    Bulldog.

    Well **** I guess that’s 13.

    the beamer is the best pistol in the game you scrub

    trac-5. I hate it.
  18. frozen north

    I personally like it but, as seems to be a common theme in this thread, what one finds to be trash, another finds to be a treasure.

    This gun to me looks very much like an ESF pilot go to gun. It is capable of 6 shot kills on ESF, I often find in a dogfight, since I'm terrible I'll manage to half kill the other pilot then I'll take cover behind a mountain and try repair my reaver but so then they come and wreck me. So I'm waiting for the day I own this gun so I can say not today my ESF friend while I take cover behind my half dead ESF and fire archer rounds at him 2-3 probably to finish him off.

    The main problem I see with the jack is that shotguns are probably only useable with light assault with ambusher jets, a heavy assault simply cannot close the gap and since you can't use this one on light assault is useless unless you have like a blackhand or you enjoy holding 2 heavy guns with the new advanced specialisation perks (which is only available to about 1000 people on each server because most people are too low level/poor). I've not tried this gun but I've played with the default shotgun on my heavy assault and found it underwhelming and don't even want to waste the certs to see if its any good other than that I kind of want it for the heavy assault directives because theres no way I'm getting that many kills with anti-vehicle grenades.
