Simple Question. 
Mine is the Army Carbine. Can be used up close, and from far away. Does a good bit of damage, also.

Musket

dueling pistols

The better question is what's your favorite faction?
 
Mine's between Slingers and Gravers.

I really like the Scrap Musket, I don't know why.
 
Scrap Salvo is probably a big reason.

War Machete was awesome

#8 Posted by Vexxan (4577 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I'm all in for the War Machete. Love them quick attacks.

#9 Posted by bushpusherr (570 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Pike.  Incredible damage at a distance, can be equipped for knockback to keep them at that distance, and when playing with idols on, the negate armor ability to nullify Garmuth is amazing.

level 5 pike with all the left side upgrades... stupid op.

Calamity Cannon!

Dueling Pistols

Hammer

The duelling pistols are awesome, lets you stay mobile while bringing the pain to your enemies

I really enjoyed the war machete.

Using that + something like the Army carbine is a great combo. Something for everything.

#16 Posted by lord_canti (1221 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

im liking the bow didst at first but begin able to do continues damage to some one and pierce through 5 or more enemy's is pretty good

Musket!   
Most of the game I played with musket and hammer. Not the fastest weapon combo, but lots of evading made it work really well.

#18 Posted by halim51 (77 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I really really like the pike, I like the range you get with it.

#19 Posted by Tim_the_Corsair (3065 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Repeater with extra damage and ammo plus homing bolts, slaughters everything ever.

#20 Posted by CookieMonster (2364 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I enjoy prodding stuff with my pike.

Scrap Musket + Fire Bellows turns you into a moving apocalypse.

#22 Posted by Zoombini (64 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I gotta throw my support in for the bellows. So many foes run at you in this game then turning yourself into a walking inferno is always good. Pistols or musket can take care of the rest.

#23 Posted by DoctorTran (1469 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

So far I'm really digging the War Machete.

#24 Posted by HistoryInRust (5953 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Ended really loving the Fire Bellows. By the end I was taking too much heat while using melee weapons, so I ran a combination of the Fire Bellows + another, more powerful long range gun.

#25 Posted by The_Hiro_Abides (1171 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Army Carbine all the way! It's explosive shell at full upgrade level is ridiculously overpowered. I found that to be way more useful than armor piercing rounds.

My second weapon was the Fire Bellows. Anything armored or small swarms of enemies were toast with the bellows.

#26 Posted by BerserkingGuts (69 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I'm most comfortable with the pike and duel pistols.

I, somwhere half-way in the game, realised I could actually try two ranged weapons and ofter some experimenting and tweaking I settled on Bow+Pistols combo. Finished the game with those and then one more time with all Idols on, couldn't bring myself to more experimenting with other weapons (I will do that in a few months when I go for anotger go).
#28 Posted by Savior82 (26 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

The weapons I used the most were the Cael Hammer and Scrap Musket. The Musket is my favorite. Fun gun to use. :)

#29 Edited by StingerMK2 (368 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

the bow just feels perfect, messed around with all of the weapons in my first play through, but the bow hits a real sweet spot with me, i tend to combine it with the scrap musket with knockback in case enemies get a bit too close its also good at taking out groups of small enemies, but the bow deals with 90% of the rest

#30 Posted by utamaru (91 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

going 200% crit damage on Machete, + dots, +werewhiskey, and scrap musket. When I'm doing good I'm doing poorly, and when I'm doing bad I'm killing everything.

#31 Posted by Slaker117 (4831 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

I like how close to a bell curve this poll is.

#32 Posted by JackSukeru (5224 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Fire Bellows, definetly! It was the first weapon I got that ignored armor and together with that one tonic that restored your life as you dealt damage I was practically invinsible.

Everything must burn!!

#33 Posted by Andorski (4313 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago

Currently rolling with the Pike and Musket. The long reach of the Pike and the knockback from the Musket is great for spacing control.

#34 Posted by WindFall259 (342 posts) - 1 year, 7 months ago

Come on, guys. Breaker's Bow. The stacked poison upgrades works wonders against the Micia idol (regenerating health), and the damage over time counts towards leechade.

I was murdering fools with my bow left and right.
