Whats everyones favorite and least favorite weapon?

I think the Large Negtron Colider is by far my favorite. It feels OP as fukk and once you upgrade it and it can hang for a few seconds you feel like Goku with that shyt. I’m surprised this isn’t more of a late game gun.

The worst is by far the Richochet for me, its hard as hell to time and doesn’t do enough damage for as limited as it is. I think mine is still on level 2. I also have upgraded the standard gun at all I barely use it for anything other than breaking boxes

Favorite weapon for me is the Lightning Strike, probably. I really like the Negatron Collider as well tho. You crazy talking about the Richocet don't do enough damage or even that it's hard to time. We need to git you gudder at vidya games, bruh.

Least favorite is probably the grenades. I know they're a staple and they have their uses, for sure, but it's the only weapon that I have so far that I'm barely using.

One thing of heavy attention to detail about this game is just how on point enemy reactions are to every single specific weapon. From their hit and death reactions from each gun to even the enemies often yelling out to their comrades on which gun you have active and telling them ways on how to avoid it. shyt is dope. I love that the Lightning Strike shows enemies skeletons all flailing once they get stunned. And just how large distance and consistently well that it tethers to enemies makes it always one of my Go-To weapons. It's kinda like a machine gun version of the Electric gun in Returnal, but I like this one better since it has machine gun-esq auto-fire, so it makes me feel more in the mix.

I often switch out weapons to ensure that I'm getting each gun leveled up well. It seems that level 5 is the highest you can go in the initial play thru, but I know they go to level 10 in the Challenge Mode (New Game+). I've noticed that your level 5 weapons are still levelling up tho if you're using them, but you just don't have the access to their level 6+ upgrades until you get to Challenge Mode. I'm not sure if it was doing that from the start or from the latest update to the game.

Ricochet is my least favorite as well. Cold Snap comes in as a close second.

My favorite is the Executioner.

I haven't finished the game yet so there's still more weapons for me to unlock tho.

Naw sorry, breh, richochet is trash, if you got 5 enemies in front of you its not doing enough to warrant its use over anything else. It’s way too slow. :hubie:


I agree that the lightning strike is really good, clears those flies very easily. When you upgrade the stun it’s even better cause you can combo it with the negtron.

I like how the weapons are, shotgun, stun weapons, support, and....area effect? I’m happy they got rid of the disco ball for the sprinkler, i wasn’t using them it at first until i got to the arena and I don’t think i could have done it on the highest difficulty without it. And yeah, the animations of how the enemies react to each weapon is what makes them so fun to use. In any other game you get a new weapon and the enemies just rag doll or have the same animation regardless of what you use but in this theres a specific reaction to everything, which makes everything feel way more alive. Thats the reason I mostly wanted to like the richochet because its funny watching it constantly pelt the goons in the head.

I feel like its gonna be a long time until i we get another game like this with such attention to detail. I dont even know what I’m gonna play next after this, its just so beautiful and alive:mjcry:

That's cuz you both underestimating and not quite understanding its purposeful use (re: Ricochet). Against weak enemies, it'll ricochet between them, as it'll kill small creatures in one hit a lot of times, specially when suped up.
Also, it's great for bosses, cuz of how well it stun locks them. And, cuz of how it works, you don't have to continue aiming or even facing the enemy you're hitting it with, so you can stick and move and still be applying damage. You already stated that your timing is off when it's ricocheting properties, so that further explains why you can't work well with it.
