My Arcana has ASI: med and I've managed to wipe out hordes of zombies in FSC and D&N with it extremely fast (maybe even about as fast as Brandish charge-spamming) either alone or paired with a Final Flourish. Devilites? HELL NO! You only got Trojans, Gorgos and those lizards + Lord Vanaduke of course.Īlso Blasters can be a powerhouse of damage with enough ASI and proper single switching or double switching with an Alchemer or a sword. Yes Blitz Needle is good, but what are you going to use that 4k-damage charge against? Wolvers? No. Autoguns will do more damage, Blasters will get used more often.ĭ&N is much faster than FSC and give more rads. Nonetheless, I absolutely love the slash, slash, retreat, shoot, shoot, repeat rhythm you get into when you have both a sword and a utility gun. Admittedly, I run 4 weapon slots, so it may not be as worthwhile for you. Still, I tend to squeeze utility ranged weapons into my loadouts whenever I can. They're arguably the best utility weapons in the game, offering a bit of knockback, a bit of damage, and reliable ranged hits. 4* Strike Needle *only* outputs ~3600 damage per charge against pierce weak enemies.)īlasters, while very user friendly, are not very good sources of damage.

Heck, you can simply stick to fully heated 4* equipment and it'll still serve you well. Being able to reliably grind out FSC will get you VERY far, especially as you try to round out the rest of your arsenal. I've amassed plenty of Rads just from FSC alone. (And I'm not sure why people seem to think DaN is the only source of Rads in the game. Even when mastered, it will still definitely get you killed a few times. This will definitely get you killed the first few times you use it, so it'll take time to master. Ideally you'll want the Perfect Mask of Seerus or bits of the Chaos set to get as many charges out as quickly as possible. Either charge spam or don't even bother firing. That said, the basic shot from the autoguns are pure trash. The shadow damage variation of the autogun, the Grim Repeater, is far easier to use than the Blitz, due to the push-back and the fact that shadow weak enemies tend to be less twitchy-spastic than pierce weak enemies. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of frustration to get the most out of it, but if you can master it, the damage is WAAAAY too good to dismiss. Against targets weak to pierce, a Blitz charge pumps out over 4000 damage without bonuses. A single charge against neutral targets is potentially ~2800 damage without any damage bonuses. If you have an Acheron then you don't really need anything other than Acheron + Arcana.īlitz? Garbage? I'll admit it's tricky to use, but that's the single biggest burst of DPS in the game. But my personal recommendation is getting a Blaster and more specifically, Arcana. Or you can always go for the Blaster and focus on watering and killing the minions in the final fight in FSC. If you're gonna farm rads (D&N) then a blaster would help much due to its mobility, if you're gonna farm crowns (FSC) then you'll need a Blitz Needle. Does FSC always come first? Well that depends on whether you're gonna farm rads or crowns.


Or you can get a Riftlocker which is considered one of the best guns to use against Devilites and other fiends and a few beasts.īut I think your question is that. With the blaster though, you can go for an Arcana which demolishes crowds of undead and constructs in no time as long as you're skilled at single switching. There sure are multiple choices for each of the guns you mentioned but I'll go with the best ones in my opinion.Īutogun = Blitz Needle which is extremely situational and only useful in FSC's boss fight and Trojans, other than that it's pretty garbage.
