E.g. I like the Cinta because its super pretty and has an interesting firing mechanic even if its not the strongest.
Vectris. i just wish snipers were good
Shedu if fits my style nicely… maybe not always aesthetically but my gameplay style. It’s a launcher, firing explosives but it does so at pinpoint accuracy so you can readily get headshots.
Feels so nice to use. Feels so painful to get though.
I really like using the Battacor for its looks and versatility.
As for melees, nothing beats the Ohma for me. I just really like tonfas.
I have a soft spot for my Paracesis with the chroma deluxe sword skin. It’s fun to just swing a big slab of metal around and see red numbers pop off.
Verdillac with Mag is silly fun. Put a vortex on a guy and fling gas orbs into it to clear a crowd.
Trumna is my favorite primary, even if it’s technically not as good as a dedicated AoE weapon. When the alt fire headshot crits just right, oooooo it’s great. Sepulcrum’s good too, but its alt fire is a harder to use than “point and shoot”.
Not a weapon, but a type: I love blade and whips. They’re cool-looking, and the stance feels good.
I love bows; specifically the Dread and Daikyu. Sending enemies flying, along with the crisp headshot sound, is just so satisfying.
Better yet when you hit a small train of them.
Syanapse
Although that weapon is crazy OP and nobody uses it
Convectrix. Death by 1000 cuts. Need I say more?
Penta with tether grenades augment, there’s nothing like trapping a bunch of enemies in a doorway as they try to run at you, and then just with a single press of a button scattering them across the room
Before Incarnons came out and power crept everything, I was all in on crafted weapons. Kitgun primary and secondary, and Zaw melee. My favourites are 1h Balla, which I still use in preference to incarnon melees, and both variants of Gaze. Paladin, Basilisk and Butterknife. Secondary Gaze is still one of my all-time weapons.
It’s easy to feel attached to crafted weapons given the grind for Star Amarast and the fact that you can name your own weapon after assembling it.
