What's A Good Pistol And Melee Weapon?

[EpicRice]

I've been using the base weapons for a while now and i've been wanting to try to get materials to build/ buy a new weapon, not sure what to do for though, anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking about going for Gram and Lex pistol but i've heard scindo and bolto/akboltos are better.

Lex is the most powerful pistol there is, but it has low rof anf small clip size. Gram is good but needs rate mods to make it perfect. Akboltos are good as well.

If you're still new to the game, the Aklato is one of the best pistols available, although the new auto-pistol, the Viper, is also a good choice for beginners. The Bolto/Akbolto are a pain to craft, especially when compared to the Aklato.

As for a melee weapon, the Gram is good, but Dual Heat Sword is probably better, as it offers a more reasonable compromise between charge damage and charge time, and regular attack speed. Also, the innate fire damage bonus is great for Infected missions.

Boltor is best for close combat. Good secondary for any rifleman.
