Terrible/Under Rated guns you love

  1. DJPenguin

    Shotgun Slugs. Too many people will write it off as being bad cause it's one of the few things in this game that actually has a learning curve. It may take hundreds of kills to finally get into the rhythm but it's very rewarding to use.

  2. a4555in

    Gauss saw+iron sights+suppressor.
    CQB trolling at it's finest. Also, if you can get consistent headshots with it in CQB, it's beastly.
    Also, the basilisk.
    And my LA80rebel- almost purpled it.

  3. eldarfalcongravtank

    manticore pistol --- all other VS seem to use the NS revolvers

    eidolon battlerifle --- it's just badbadbad even at its intended range

    phobos pumpaction shotgun --- try engaging someone 6+ meters away and you're dead

    NS-15M lmg --- compared to other lmgs it has low damage, low ammo capacity, low firerate

    S-variant carbines/assault rifles --- without a grenadelauncher attachment they aint worth crap
  4. Koldorn

    Solstice SF (as a gun) - grip, enloudener, HV ammo.

    It's almost identically an NS11C without the god awful bullet velocity.
    And the recoil is almost non-existent.
    Yes you lose some DPS, but it handles like a dream.
  5. Ribero

    Not an underrated gun, but it just doesn't get the publicity of others, the NC1 Gauss Rifle.
  6. Modern Ancestor

    This. One of my absolute favourites.:D
  7. Nitrobudyn

    AF-18 Stalker - it's great after getting used to it.

  9. LapsedPacifist

    Underbarrel shotgun. It's ridiculously useful.

    The surprise when an SMG infiltrator pops out expecting to fun you down and you OHK them... Priceless.
  10. Crackulous

    You'd be the first to shoot it from it's main barrel.

    For me, it's gotta be the Light PPA. I hardly see any Scythes firing this, it farms infantry for days.

  11. AssaultPig

    EM1 gets a bad rap because it was awful prior to the PU02 weapon rebalance. It's still not any kind of amazing, but it isn't awful

    SAW S is the answer for me, I love that thing.
  12. GaBeRock

    This is just because rocketpods/A2A nosegun is so much more verstile. If and when they get vehicle loadout switching ingame, you'd see a lot more AI noseguns (for me, bashee.)
  13. Crackulous

    It shouldn't happen. Were more people to kill with the Light PPA, it's bound to get nerfed. Huge splash radius, decent TTK, and can fire for an eternity. Only downside is that it's harder to kill aircraft with it than the other faction's AI noseguns, but that's not what it's designed for.
  14. Zecthans

    I like my LA1 Anchor >=)
  15. WyrdHarper

    Always have loved the AMR-66.

    And the rage tells from getting shotgun sniped are just bonus. Shotty slugs are quite fun, though.

  16. Flashtirade

    The EM1. SPA makes a world of difference, though it's still likely not worth taking over the other NC options.
  17. Bellawynn

    The Beamer, after ps1 the fact I can actually kill anyone with my glorified flashlight makes me giggle. Oh and considering DJ is working on his shotgun medals atm I'm actually curious how many rage tells he's recieved. :p

  18. Lucidius134

    T5 AMC

    I don't know how.

    I like to use it with Adv Foregrip/HVA/Comp and 2x/IRNV/3.4x RDS.

    It's also pretty good at hipfire with the laser sight because of the bloom per shot and the lower ROF. You'll get out DPS'd sure but when you get the drop it's super reliable hipfire.

    I like to use it defensively from a vantage point to engage unsuspecting targets or targets who are further out. It's like an LMG but with worse damage at range.
  19. Meeka

    I love the Renegade shotgun, I'm not sure what people have against it.

    When you drive that thing at someone, uncloak, blast them, and cloak again; they have no chance to retaliate. :p
  20. IamDH

    Lolwut. Rocketpods are so much better
