Final point can be done without a restructure, so I think I can just do that. | Final point can be done without a restructure, so I think I can just do that. | ||

| + | If I were to say the "top-5" niches, I would say them as follows: | ||
| + | *Assault Rifle: Strongest overall weapon outside of a killbox, and still good inside one. Even if you've built one, breachers and sappers will likely ignore it. | ||
| + | *Heavy SMG: One of the best weapons for low-skill shooters. Stronger than an assault rifle inside a killbox, decent when fighting from longer distance. Cheapest of the available options. | ||
| + | *Charge Rifle: Sidegrade to the assault rifle. Deals more damage, and with higher {{AP}}, but is less flexible against breachers and sappers. Good in a killbox, but not reliant on one. | ||
| + | *Chain Shotgun: Strongest weapon in the game in its 12-tile range. Amazing in a specialized killbox or other close-range fights, like [[infestation]]s. Poor outside. | ||
| + | *Minigun: Massive 25-shot burst, but with a massive cooldown. Insane optimal DPS, but inaccurate. This inaccuracy makes it unparalleled for mowing down a crowd of enemies, but it is entirely reliant on a static defensive setup to function. | ||
