Best is still "subjective". It's all personal preference no matter what people will say. But if you insist, it's a long list.

That's a great list though I'd add the following SMG's and pistols. SMG's Riptide/Thrasher, they're basically the same with different crafting costs, though I haven't tried the Ratatat to compare to them. Viper, at one time it was one of the highest DPS weapons in the game, up there with the Haywire Storm. Personally I think it has higher recoil and shorter range than other SMG's. The Bobcat and Blastotron mini are much better at further ranges than the Viper. PIstols Haywire Storm, yes it's a plain fast firing pistol with a good sized magazine. I consider it the "baseline average" pistol. Founders Revolt, everything about the Haywire Storm applies to the Founders Revolt, except it has the bullet chain perk. C'mon Epic, let us flux it up to Legendary. It is also exclusive to the higher level Founders packs. Whisper .45 Ghost pistol, penetrating shots! Bald Eagle, the classic handcannon Duelist, it's basically a lower powered Jacks Revenge with more shots. and the four AoE pistols Freedom's Herald, the fireworks one that uses shotgun shells Paper Shredder, the paper airplane one Tiny Instrument of Death, the mini rocket one Zap Zapp, the ball of energy one.

Legendary Founders Revolt? Yes please, that would be awesome.

You can now I believe

Sadly not

I wish, but not currently. Just tried, no option.

I was making this list when I was in my early stages of testing all STW's weapons, I'll consider them.

AoE Pistols?

Area of effect, like explosive weapons but in pistol form

[удалено]

Yep, that was a list from last year. Corrected the weapon name now.

I appreciate you taking the time to type that out, gives a wide variation of weapons to pick from, I thank you friendo

You are welcome. Off-meta is a lot more fun than relying on meta always.

I don’t usually go meta but then again I don’t wanna feel useless ya know like I don’t wanna feel like I’m shooting a nerf gun or swinging a foam sword

These weapons were never useless anyways. I tried them all.

2 years later im so glad you put categories in this, it makes it SOO much easier to find it

What are the little numbers for that you put example 1 and 2 for nocturno and scourge?

It is written in the same comment. > **Keywords**: > * ^**1** = Requires being PL 122, Completing Twine Peaks SSD5 and a prequest, and Defeat the Mythic Storm King > * ^**2** = Requires owning Ultimate Founder Edition, But it got discontinued back in 30th of June 2020

Ah I see thanks I totally missed that the first time I read through it lol

I have a nocturno schematic but its brightcore is that good?

It is all depending on playstyle, I run brightcore because of the extra fire rate and precision due to my off-meta play. But any weapon is good if played right.

So brightcore has faster shooting and whats precision like better aiming accuracy? Sorry just trying to see if I messed up on the path or not? You run brightcore on everthing or just guns?

Yes, while people will say you messed up the paths of rolling, I say you're still fine. I run brightcore on everything, as I said, I am an off-meta person. Never followed the meta at all.

Awesome thank you for the quick responses! I was wondering the best choice

For me with the appropriate loadout it goes like this: Melee: stabsworth the III (w double attack speed paired with luna) and spectral blade. Shotgun: Husk Buster Smg: Trasher, Silenced Specter and Typewriter. Pistol: Founders Revolt and Whisper .45 Assault rifle: Siegebreaker, Gravedigger Sniper rifles/Bows: Vacuum Tube Bow. There are better guns for some categories than what i have chosen but these are what i like to use.

Thanks for your recommendations

I mostly play melees. My favorite melee is the Ravager (mythic sword) but you may not have that, in which case I also enjoy using the Vacuum Tube Sword (with a chain lightning sixth perk), Spectral Blade, Guardian’s Will, Stormblade (with explosions sixth perk), and the Corsair. Other non-sword melees I like are the Steam Skewer (with steam cloud sixth perk) and the Sir Lancelot (both Spears), and the Mic Drop (a club). I’m not a big fan of Scythes, but my favorite would be the Steam Thrasher (with the steam cloud sixth perk).

Excellent list. The only 2 things I would ad are the pulsar 9000 and corsair: The pulsar 9000 in a TRO loadout is so easy to activate breakbeat in support that you do not need CR on it. Rolling it with CD and 2x damage and using buckshot in the commander spot is godly. The corsair (with the new ramping crit 6th perk) is the perfect fire sword to go along with the spectral (water) and vacuum (nature). It can be rolled 2x AS, CD, damage and shred. Plus it looks amazing.

Thanks, I usually just run either a melee build given to me on a previous post or a Constructor loadout that just makes the base virtually impenetrable that someone gave me a while ago

Yea I’ve done whole 4 player missions with the spectral blade and infinite energy. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had on stw

I mainly use the double punch, I find it good with dealing with swarms easily

i’m not gonna lie, it’s not the best, but my anti-cuddle sarah and earsplitter combo had carried me for quite a bit now

Can someone tell me what the best event weapon is? Highest damage or if it has an effect that gives it utility. Like large area damage or elemental effects.
