Topic on Talk:Weapon Guide

 

There are some raid types (melee only, sniper only are the big ones), and there are some non-rocket weapons that change how you fight raids (a sniper means ''you'' can't use snipers as well), but i still think [[defence tactics]] is the better place for all of it. Ideally it'd just be interlinked but ik it's a bit clunky to read.

I don't think I (or the wiki) should really be an arbitor of "this is good/bad at X", because, for a lot of weapons, it really does depend. How should ''anyone'' value Revolver's stagger vs Autopistol's DPS? AR's range might make it better against breachers, but a CR's damage might make it better... against the same target.  

 

Differences like shotgun v AR are clear cut, and are in subsections for a reason. Things like AR vs HSMG aren't really - the rewrite already states SMG is "skill friendly" while AR has +range = better for breachers and co.

Whenever a player would prefer any given choice would change, depending on playstyle, difficulty, base layout, and personal preference, which are impossible to fully control for. I understand the theorem of "tell new players a strict rule first, then let them learn to break it" but i'm not confident, in general, here.
