whats a good weapon for pve?

[magic pike]

I need a good weapon to use for pve, help?

[low herald]

Hi. What have you got? The weapons you use depend on what your build is and what activities you play.

Usually, you want an ammo conservation perk and a damage perk on the same guns. For rockets, you want a way to shoot as many as possible before reloading.

And you usually want one special weapon, although some builds output enough ability damage and get enough ammo to allow for two special weapons.

[spark ravine]

Osteo striga, Quicksilver storm and Forbearance. try to get those

[shut igloo]

Riptide, Wishender, Nation of Beasts, Calus Minitool / No Survivors, Fixed Odds, Ragnhild-D, Le Monarque, Apex Predaor / Hothead

[balmy belfry]

Retraced Path, Wastelander M5, Imperial Decree, Riptide

[spark ravine]

These guys are naming pellet shotguns 😂😭 you need one for pve and that's it 💀

[balmy belfry]

Having a good option for Major/Miniboss damage is important for a lot of content and rn that role is either a fusion (which are often suboptimal) or a 12p shotgun

[spark ravine]

Yeah, two 12p shotguns. one for the kinetic and one for the energy slot is plenty enough

[open arrow]

Forbearance

[spark ravine]

[magic pike]

I'm out here using Malfeasance and Horrors least😭

[sleek whale]

Malfeasance is good enough. Try use a special weapon for your energy slot, probably a fusion rifle because you’re a bit new still

[spark ravine]

basically never run double primary unless you're doing really difficult content alone

keep that as a rule of thumb

[balmy belfry]

Don’t be afraid of double special if your build can either addclear well or if the special weapon(s) you’re addclearing with have good ammo economy (wave frame gls, traces)

Most of the time you can use whatever kinetic and energy guns you fee most comfortable with and only really change around your power slot for what’s convenient

Rocket or a support exotic for dps encounters, lmg if you need to addclear, eager sword if you want what’s essentially a free airdash on any subclass

[stone urchin]

GRAVITON LANCE, DEAD MESSENGER, EX DIRIS, AGER'S SCEPTER
these are some extra whihch i belive others not suggested

yet are quit good, atlest first 3 are easy to get with just opening engrams and from season pass

[snow ether]

isn't ex diris kinda just meh?

[stone urchin]

it next shot has same delay as reload , but i felt it has moe ammo then others and can be spammed bit more often and care free

[snow ether]

Kinda wish it had micro missle so it wouldn't have bullet dropoff

[candid willow]

Quicksliver storm isn't that good for you to list it with osteo and forbearance

[snow ether]

Quicksilver is pretty nice if you're running strandlock

[candid willow]

Pretty nice is keyword

[spark ravine]

quicksilver is insane for GM's and other stuff wdym

[snow ether]

yeah lol

especially since its anti barrier rn

which doesnt mean anything now since its less than 20 hours until the next season comes out but its still really good

[candid willow]

How is it insane for GM's

[spark ravine]

hitting for like 40k per GL shot

which is basically more damage than a special ammo gl

just test it, it onehits most stuff and almost kills a champ with those 3 shots

[weary rock]

Quicksilver is an infinite ammo GL

[snow ether]

That shoot rockets and makes free tangles on kills

[candid willow]

Yeah but it also forces you to use a mid auto rifle for quite a bit

[weary rock]

Nothing about quicksilver is mid

[candid willow]

It's an auto rifle that makes it mid

Not saying quicksilver is bad I just don't like it

And it's not as good as things like osteo or forb

[warm sonnet]

100% life saver in high end content, the GL 1 shotting barrier chams sheilds in GM's is awesome

[weary rock]

Nothing about quicksilver is mid

One of the best weapons in the game

[candid willow]

At least sunshot is still the best solar primary

[snow ether]

You are not using sunshot over quicksilver in a gm😭

[livid hill]

Dead messanger and ex diris are both awful and outclassed by legendarys

[livid hill]

Do people use quicksilver over wishender

[snow ether]

i mean wishender is better but quicksilver is still extremely good

[candid willow]

Yeah Ik I just love sunshot

[warm sonnet]

depends on the ranges, if there is consitently space for me to shoot long range, wish ender, if it is close range more, quicksilver

[livid hill]

The decider is usually wish ender in gms but they are different catagorys now because quicksilver can't stun BR champs

[warm sonnet]

true

[magic pike]

Okay out of those 3, I have one.

[snow ether]

you get osteo from witch queen, you can craft it
forbearence is just vow
quicksilver is from lightfall
