My personal favorite assault I’ve been running these days is the HackSAW, it’s super satisfying being able to fire for a minute straight, deal solid damage, and use the usual builds with it (mad tidings, TRO)
Youve helped mr through a lot of stw(not going slow through it) Im subbing after this(i dont like trying to do the testing and your channel is really helpful) Also for the farming loadout idk if youre using supply drops but they give traps and other items i believe(could be wrong)
Even though it’s not a crazy strong launcher, I’m glad the bowler made the list! It pairs great with totally rockin’ out with wildcat’s perk of triggering rockin’ riff after getting kills in a few seconds.

On storm shield defences i sometimes run out of mats for crafting and its so annoyng any tips on how to make those fast? Or farm them easy?

Beast, my go to ar for the last few years has been the grave digger but I noticed it wasn't on this list. Where would you rank the grave digger in relation to the other guns on this list? Should I start leveling up some of the other ARs on this list (such as the Pain Train or Seigebreaker, which I have access to) I don't have a major hero loadout centered around the GD and I'm about 3/4th way through canny valley.
Just an oversight. Absolutely should have put it with the lesser ARs. It's a stronger siegebreaker! here's an awesome video on it - th-cam.com/video/xBG_dYX32M4/w-d-xo.html
This is a really good video to inspire people to step away from useing the best of the best and try new weapons that are just as good. Amazing thumbnail bdw. It tells you exactaly what the video is aboth.
It depends. Quickshot has technically more dos because of its 6th perk, but it’s mainly due to the fire rate boost so it’s using more ammo. Also it can’t have affliction. So infer from that what you will
Appreciate the effort and your thought process behind each weapon type. Used your code for the Item Shop with the last few purchases, Happy Holidays Beast!
Never been a fan of calling anything in this game “the best” because often it gives this game’s players the wrong idea, but you did a lot in the disclaimers in regards to that. These weapons are all great. I think the only one that wouldn’t make it up there for me was the floor flusher, but I think everything else is def amazing. Floor flusher gets held back by a huge lack of crowd clearing. I like how most of the weapon system is balanced now, tho there’s still a few near the bottom that need a boost, as well as some broken ones that need to get fixed. Also THANK YOU for putting the shotguns above the bows lol. It doesn’t really matter but I appreciate it
Thats why you have 3 weapons in slots. I bring my Floor Flusher for pissants, my Nocturno for mist monsters and my discharger for crowd clear. And sometimes I will replace Nocturno or Discharger for the Potshot
Have you tried combining Winter hunter (the one that turns shurikens into ice stars) with critsplosions storm blade? Sometimes it one shots smashers with TRO active
What's causing affliction to be so goon on melees? Is there a specific increase to affliction on melees compared to ranged weapons or is it just that melees generally hit more enemies at once => more afflicted targets. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the UK, I hope you had a great 2024
@xMistaBeastxGames Haha yeah definitely. I also don't really run the really high PL zones all that much. Only the 140s if there's Vbucks in there so I usually just main the Drum Gun or Revolt. Whatever sounds fun but lately been not needing a weapon anymore thanks to Snowstrike, shes so insane I main my pickaxe now in low PL
Sort of just started again recently! Heard a few good things about some weapons in today's time, but I also wanted to know what you think about the Hydra? (Bonus, just got Primal Flame Bow. How is it? thanks!)
The Hydra is good! th-cam.com/video/h7lvHBOjaTs/w-d-xo.html Also nice! Flame Bow is good too! th-cam.com/video/WLJPexH65pY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y0mysHVBoYs_AW-9
Ok kind of wierd question, does attack speed + damage = Crit rating + crit damage like how a ranged weapons fire rate + damage roughly equals crit rating + crit damage
Im VERY surprised you didn't mention the Hydra HIGH DAMAGE assault rifle. Literally takes less than 3-6. Its unique and higher damage because it uses shotgun shells and only takes 3-6 shots depending on critical for the fat husks in a 160
@@xMistaBeastxGames ok thanks! Its mostly better for lower levels i can attest to that and helps save ammo and spamming or spraying ammo. I love this video and you inspire me to be even more creative with my load outs. I have an overpowered plasmatic discharger build that uses extraterrestrial Rio as main and the 60% bonus energy damage ACTUALLY takes shiz out on 160 missions and especially combines with cyberclops for energy spread similar to the vacuum tube bow but all energy damage. Its insane man you should try it. So easy and fun.
Do a best no loadout videos. Sometimes I would like to use a weapon in case of an emergency, using a discharger all the time is kinda expensive. Example would be what weapons I can use on a engineer load out that doesn't buff weapons. Or an outlander that may be for farming but I need a good weapon that is not expensive to use like the discharger that do not require a loadout to be good.
Recommend some of the lower weapons on the list. Floor Flusher is a great pair with my TEDDY. A lot of the top positions besides Discharger and Potshot are being boosted by the loadouts
This video covers that topic heavily. Loadouts are mentioned and placements dependant on loadouts are addressed. If you're paying attention all of the information you want is here.
Hey Beast i wanted to know what's the difference between shadowshard and obsidian since i'll be done with canny valley soon and will have to pick one of the two.
Yeah i agreed with basically the whole list, just a tad suprised to see no mention of the stalwart squire, i do get what it is quite clumsy and annoying to use at times, but the thing can produce some stupid damage numbers, oh well only a small thing that crossed my mind, great video! (Even if it took a while 😅)
I've never liked that thing. Completely dependent on crits for any meaningful damage, 1 shot then reload is brutal. The thing is like firing a slot machine
prolly aint gonna get a reply but if you could only have one between the xenon and vacuum tube bow which would ya choose for reference i have nocturno but i dropped off when they changed everything so idek how strong storm king is but im pretty sure i aint got anything for that guy
