    In the first play-through of DS I only used the Plasma cutter and it was fun at first but then it was so powerful most enemies were a breeze. now up to chapter 6 in DS2 and haven't really cared to buy other guns. Is there any recommendations for the other guns, because otherwise I'm just going to be saving up to by more types of RIG's.  
     
    Why do I feel that I'll just new game plus it?

    I went through the first game with basically just the plasma cutter too. I'm really liking the line gun this time though.

    You might want to invest in the Force Gun for certain encounters towards the end of the game. Great for clearing a room and making some space.

    The Falmethrower is pretty cool, and I like the contact beam too.
     
    I also like the seeker rifle, not because I think it's a particularly good gun, but just because it's satisfying to kill enemies with.

    I just started a New game+ in DS, and i think the Line gun is amazing, granted, i have it fully upgraded. It devastates any- and everything it shoots at, it's great. 
     
    The plasma cutter is the best starting weapon of all time though.

    I went through most of the game using the pulse rife, I felt that it was a really good gun (accurate, fast rate of fire) but its not as powerful as the line gun.

    This. 
     
    The machine gun was awful in the first game - rapid fire but couldn't cut off limbs efficiently so mainly useless. Once you upgrade the power in DS2 though it tears them up if you aim well. Also best gun to have equipped when you go into those quick-time event style scenarios where you can only shoot and not move. So much easier.

    It seems like every weapon is pretty damn good when used right. It's really up to you. Pretty cool that they managed to make each one feel so different and be useful.

    The Seeker Rifle is godly. It's basically just the DS equivalent of a Sniper Rifle but oh man, it's powerful and when you zoom in it has a damage bonus. On Zealot I was killing enemies in two shots without upgrading anything on it. I just finished fully upgrading it and have yet to test it out - I'm expecting epic proportions.

    Have not tested all of them out myself but all weapons seem to be viable this time around.
    A lot of people seem to be praising the Impaler due to the fact that when upgraded it has the DMG of the Contact Beam but the ammo for it is dirt cheap, most enemies die in 1 hit.

    @xyzygy: If you could post some reactions to using the upgraded Seeker rifle I'd appreciate it. Just seeing if it's worth investing some nodes during my NG+

    The force gun is the best gun in the game.  You don't even have to aim with it unless you're using the alternate fire, which, by the way, is fucking devastating.  I can't understand why so few people appreciate the force gun.

    @nickux: OK, so it's awesome. I can kill Elite Necromorphs with two shots, one to each leg, on chapter 12. Seeker rifle, Zoom and stasis makes for a very deadly combination, and It's definitely going to help me with the upcoming Drill part of the game where all those little dog-babies with tentacles are. They are gone in one shot, even if it's just a body shot.

    Most of the guns are really good if you upgrade them, you can't go wrong. I personally prefer the Force Gun its kinda of like a cone aoe in front of you, very effective if you find yourself getting surrounded.
