Best endgame primary?

[Guest GorgonTheHeroine]

Good morning.

I'm looking for information on primary weapons I should build and keep. Ones that are good in any normal mission, alerts, and endgame.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Best for what situation? 

I love Vaykor Hek for stronger enemies, Synoid Simulor with Mirage for crowds, or any good-modded bow with Ivara's 4th. Also Ignis for low-level missions, it cleans weak enemies very fast. And sometimes I run with Quanta Vandal or Soma Prime.

vaykor hek/sancti tigris/tigris prime for shotguns, soma prime for rifles, dread/paris prime/rakta cernos for bows, tonkor

There's no best weapon than others, only best suited weapons for different situations. And those you personally enjoy, of course. But I must admit I have this insane love for shotguns, I bring my Vaykor Hek almost everywhere, it deals damage to almost everything. Tonkor is my second choice, but it might be hard to use in small spaces.

Kohm + Shotgun Spazz mod

It needs alot of ammo but it can crush everything

Here's the video from another guy with his deadly Kohm:

I'm using a bit different build but result is the same.

And... Man, I got some important knowledge playing WF about a 2 years. There's no completely endgame weps. Nice wep can become endgame wep only if endgame mods are installed into.

Tier 1 Primary Weapons consist of....

Vaykor Hek, Trigris Prime/Sancti, Prisma Grakata, Tonkor, Simulor, Soma Prime, Lanka, Dread, Quanta Vandal.

Any weapon with mostly slash damage and a good status chance are usually the favorites for enemy level 100+.

Below that? 

Use whatever you'd like.

I'm slightly biased because I like burst rifles, but if you can get the Arbiters of Hexis augment for it, and enough forma, the Burston Prime can make a decent primary. I used that thing for so long, I couldn't bear to part with it.

As for shotguns, I'm a fan of the Vanilla Hek, the burst damage on it with Scattering Justice (Steel Meridian augment) is just silly.

For bows, I flip flop back and forth on which weapon I use between the Paris Prime and the Dread.

Hey Magician, I was reading your post and thinking... Tigris Prime... lol

[Meliq]

I have a dread of answering this question because picking only one weapon leads to despair and ends in hate.

[uAir]

Tigris Prime.

There is no substitute.

[ashrah]

its depends lot witch frame u use... for example banhsee is good with most guns

A few days ago, I was playing with a Banshee in a T4 Orokin Void Survival, and she was using Sonar with crit-based Ignis and she was clearing swarms of enemies. Seriously, I was impressed, straight into forty-five minutes when we extracted.

_{I guess the only bad thing about that combo is that Banshee is ridiculously squishy, but I've seen it work extremely effectively.}

OP you should prolly give an example of what you consider "End Game" because people in this game have entirely different ideas for that concept.

I personally consider it to be quad levels. Which is lvl 1,000 - 3,000+ while other people consider it to be Sorties lvl 80-120 and others consider lvl 300 to be far enough.

If you're talking about Sorties then the difference in many weapons doesn't matter much but the higher you go; more weapons fall off until you're left with a very short list.

There's no real "right" answer to this particular question. The copout answer is use whatever you feel comfortable with, and mod it to be as powerful as you possibly can.

Actually - the answer is whatever you have that you can mod to do the most DPS or status.  I tend to stick to Dread,  & Soma Prime because i am familar with them and they synergize well with the ash passive ability. When i am running Dread I run Aksommati as my secondary and when i am running soma I run Spira Prime so I always have something that is 'quiet' and something that it high ROF...

YMMV

 

[MrM1]

Synoid Simulor

Boltor Prime

Soma Prime

TONKOR

Tigris Prime

Vaykor Hek

Ignis

 

These are not only the ''best'' but also are a lot of fun to play

I usually use the Quanta Vandal because it is great and holds its ground even with very strong enemies. But when I want to be apologetically devastating then I pull out my Mesa build with my S. Tigris and Telos Akboltos and go to town.
