Anyone gotten any of the Signature Weapons yet? They look like they're all pretty awesome. They seem to all be based off an existing weapon with a specific set of attachments that you cannot edit along with a set paint job and increased stats. So far I've only unlocked the one that's for the Uplay reward, the Cannon. It's a monster of a gun, .44 magnum, but it's just soooooo loud. I can't use it much as I like to be stealthy. Good for when a tiger jumps outta the bush at you though.

yeah, I've unlocked a pretty tight SMG, The Bull (probably most powerful shotgun in the game), The Shadow (suppressed 1911 with red dot sight), and the Bushman. That's a suppressed assault rifle that, after unlocking it, I used it for the rest of the game.

I'd say the signature weapons are the best ones to use, by far.

There is a sniper rifle with explosive rounds, it is ridiculous.

I got this shotgun, no idea how I got it but it's kinda awesome.

I unlocked the Cannon, Bull, and the sniper rifle (can't recall the name.) They are definitely powerful but all clash with my style of play. The magnum is good for one hit headshots and the sniper rifle is crazy powerful but I play with a lot of stealth and the lack of a silencer attachment make me not want to bring the guns in my inventory. The sniper is even louder than the magnum.

Overall I feel like that's the case with most of the arsenal. I'm playing to maximize my XP and the biggest rewards from from stealth take downs of NPCs and outpost. I have fun playing with the flamethrower and shotgun in between these missions but mainly I find myself sticking with the bow, silenced assault rifle, sniper rifle, and leaving that fourth slot open to pick up random/mission specific weapons.

@djou: I hear you man, but from what I gather the other pistol, the smg and the assault rifle signature weapons all have silencers. I just found that the Shredder, which is the signature SMG, is unlocked by obtaining 10 of the 20 memory cards. I think I'm going to have to go after that ASAP.

@Oldirtybearon: That Bushman sounds amazing. Whoa...that didn't come out right. In any case, that assault rifle sounds right up my alley. I like things that are silenced as I like to do a lot of sneaking.

@Hizang: Apparently it's for collecting 10 of the relics.

The thing is once you unlock them, you still have to buy them. Hey, I guess they needed money to be for something other than ammo.

The shredder feels like the most versatile of them all. Deep magazine, obnoxious fire rate, zero recoil, high damage, fast reloads, SMG movement speed, and a suppressor. I don't have any science to back it up, but I think it might deal the highest practical damage per second of any weapon at all ranges outside of sniping distance. The signature LMG competes with it, but tends to drift off target at longer ranges and is not suppressed.

The Shredder is just taking down anything or anyone who stands in my way, whether it being tigers, bears or heavys. I feel like an unstoppable killing machine with that thing equipped, while using the recipe that makes you invincible for a short amount of time.

The Shredder is all you need, it puts out a ton of damage and is pretty accurate even at longer ranges. I didn't like the Bushman at all, too inaccurate and kill-times were slow compared to the Shredder.

I've unlocked the Bull, and goddamn does it lay waste to anything in range.

@yevinorion: whats wrong with the bushman being right up your alley?

The AMR (sniper rifle) is amazingly fun. Shooting guys causes them to fly comically backwards which is so satisfying I cant not use it

Making a bear do a full barrel roll kinda never gets old. Also the ability to disable/destroy vehicles from pretty much any distance is amazing and was the sole reason for me ditching the awesome silenced M700 (which kind of trivialized taking over checkpoints)

Right now the only thing I don't have is the Bushman because I've not yet traveled to the 2nd island. Shadow is pretty neat but I find it's fairly inaccurate from a distance. Shredder is ridiculous, primary weapon. Bull was my first unlock and I still use it as my self-defence/holy shit a tiger weapon. Cannon was a little underwhelming, I blew 30 uplay points on it early in the game and at that point I could only carry 2 weapons so I opted my silenced pistol instead.

The Bushman is sickening.

The Shadow may not be the best, but damn does it make me feel cool. 1911's in general are pretty awesome.

Lets be real though, what else are you gonna use those uplay points on?

is there a signature bow? otherwise I don't really have any interest.
