Weapons For The Late Game

[BioRig]

Hellow all!

Ive been playing for a while now and i wonder wich weapons are the best for the most difficult levels of the game?

If you could leave your opinion on wich weapons from the market are good and wich every other weapon (prime and everything else) is for the later stages of the game.

Thank you all in advance!

Depending what you mean by late game, any gun can be very viable when modded... BUT take a look at these:

boltor prime

soma

burston prime

marelok

brakk

dakra prime

dragon nikana

boar prime 

 

EDIT: added

Orthos prime

latron prime/wraith are both aight

amprex/synapse

paris prime/dread

In addition to Moving_Target's list, there's also the Latron Prime, able to achieve a respectable DPS with godly ammo efficiency. And the Orthos Prime, which has immense reach and good damage.

[Kagurazaka]

Yeah, as Moving said it really depends on what you want to kill.

Personally I like the Synapses for sustain damage since you can easily use the Damage 2.0 to pwn specific enemies.

On the other hand you have snipers or bows for single target damage. With the proper build you can get HUGE red crits.

[Dhrekr]

Also Phage, Dread, Paris Prime, Lex Prime and Scoliac are very solid choices.

why did no one say penta or ogris yet? :(

By late game i mean the highest of defense and survival missions in and out of the void and thanks ill take a look at those

[Frostosti]

even the best weapons require multiple forma in order to still work after an hour in survival.

What about secondary weapons? I really like to have a secondary that is viable when my primary runs out of ammo or i cant reload in time in a tight situation besides the marlok and brakk that were already messioned

i go with despair normally, not bad dps and has puncture damage for those armored targets. sometime i use akbronco prime (didn't have brakk) which i use to spam status effects, it's annoying to craft and needs lots of formas and potato so i wouldn't exactly recommend it.

Despair is kind hard to get, you have to be very lucky what else do you recommend?

[Darzk]

Akbolto if you don't mind a lot of clicking. Marlock if you only want to click once. :P

[BioRig]

Ill check those out man thanks :D

[SuperBadPig]

Maybe because they mostly situational so to speak just like the penta you use it mostly on defense missions i think

[hdtoast]

Dual Zoren is another good melee weapon. It has low base damage and reach but a high crit chance, crit multiplier and attack speed more than make up for it. Especially with speed boosts from Volt or Valkyr. Same can be said about Dual Ichor. It's virtually identical but it has Toxin as it's base damage type

It is only situational if you want it to be. I find it very usefull especially with Nova and pick up elite target to proc the chain reaction. It works well in Endless Defense and Survival when you need to burst a target to kill as quickly as possible. Snipers has the fastest time to kill. Which is very usefull against strong targets such as Eximus.

[deathsite]

Would the reaper prime and twin gremling work for t4 or would the dmg be too low?

[Zero.No.Hikari]

My endgame builds are as follows weapon wise.

Primary:Tigris, Hek, Sybaris, Paris Prime, Miter, Vectis, Ignis, Snipetron V, and Glaxion

Secondary: Marelok, Lex Prime, Pyrana, Nukor, DexFuris, and Twin Gremlins

Melee: Glaive Prime, Venka, Kronen, Fang Prime, Dual Ichors, Scoliac, and Kama.

It all depends on frame and mood but most of them allow me to get to easily 40-50min survivals while keeping top damage and kills.

[MemeticRepo]

Endgame Prime is the single best endgame weapon.

[barcodeman]

Any weapon is good for endgame with enough forma and maxed mods, the question is just how many forma you're willing to put into them. Regardless, endgame is more ability dependant than weapons simply b/c weapon damage does not scale well and are really just useful for the viral proc.

Not a problem it all really depends on what you want out of a weapon and how you want it to look.  Forma said weapon and you're good.  Hence why most of mine are things peps never really try.

[adarazrad]

[adarazrad]
