What is currently the most powerful weapon?

[ZionSeeker 0]

Hello, I started the game again after a long time and I have a question I want to ask. Can you tell me 1 weapon that you think is the most powerful, including each weapon type (assault rifle, smg etc.)? In a way, I am asking for the most powerful weapons in their category. It doesn't matter to me whether they can be bought with G1c or with play money, thank you.

.45 AP pistol. That's all you need. The rest doesn't matter.

They are the ones you get from contacts. 
jg/oca/pmg/carbine/oscar/ntec/cr762/obir/scout

stick with those and you are good. Spend money if you want or save JT for others but you’ll be fine with these.

colby tommy gun.

[MACKxBOLAN 432]

Jg 12 gauge shotgun. The plain no slot 640 or 840 not sure on the number.

can be obtained thru the beginning tutorial as perm weapon (non tradable )

or the same gun as the 940 jg, aka NOL which is awarded as a loyalty weapon for buying stuff 

in armas. It has one open slot.

Do Not modify the weapon with red mods. only put a quick mag change on it. 

That is all You need. 

Then You want a pistol to pair with the shotgun, such as the .45 or RSA.

These simply to deal with threats at range and keep them down while you get closer.

The best tutorial perm weapon choice is probably the ALIG... just saying. Having anti-vehicle at all times for missions that require it without thinking you need to buy one, is great.

 

But for normal weapons. Stock do well, 1/2 slots are better, 3 slot tends to be more of a luxury than anything, as most weapons only want to run a red mod and a sight mod. or a sight/red mod and a purple or blue mod.

 

It's been a while since I played so i may be incorrect but

 

Most powerful:

 

Shotgun: JG prob

SMG: OCA

Rifle: Carbine/Oscar for cqc Obeya for mid

Assault Rifle: Ntec has always take the cake (though the others were buffed as well and i havent tried to see how they compare.)

LMG: SHAW/Euryale (depends if f2p or not)

Sniper: Scout or HVR

Explosive: Personal choice OSMAW/OPGL completely different uses

Pistol: .45 (FBW is a close second and great f2p, fr0g is a close range knockoff)

LTL: Stabba CCG

Grenade: Frags
