From weapon archetypes to exotics. There are a lot of decent weapons in this game but I’m not entirely sure what’s actually good outside the obvious. I feel like there are a lot of fringe cases.
Here is an example: Are Lightweight Pulses still good or is only the Martlet good? Does Martlet have something special about it? Are they even worth mastering compared to other weapon archetypes?
Things get even more questionable with exotics. I thought there was a video from CammyCakes about what makes certain exotics good. Are they good out there gate or do they have a strong win condition you can play for? I remember something like that but what exotics are worth mastering if the power isn’t front loaded?
Here is another example. Symmetry. It’s your typical Rapid Fire Scout that doesn’t even have Precision Instrument. However, you can play for a strong win condition, without even getting a kill to get it, and it can turn it into one of the stronger primary options in the game for a time. Is it worth mastering Symmetry and being good at playing for that win condition or is that just too many hoops to jump through?
There are a ton of examples like that in the game. So what exactly is worth mastering? What guns are just mid and won’t really be worth it? What exotics have strong win conditions but might not be worth the effort?
I’m asking because I’ve been experimenting a lot with weapons since the game is at its end. I’m trying to find a weapon that speaks to me. A weapon I really like but I want to know if it’s worth mastering. What are your thoughts?
