Best Gun in RAGE?

Post » Wed Oct 12, 2011 1:30 pm

There are a lot of awesome weapons, from the fat mamma ammo for the pistol to the Crossbow and Sniper rifle but hands down the Shotgun with the Pop Rocket ammo is the most satisfying it actually reminds me of the Old school Quake RL.

For me, when [censored] hits the fan i bring out the ol' pistol. with its variety in ammo and the ability to use it with or without a scope it never leaves my quick select tab.

Depends on the enemy.

Mutants, cant beat the old shotgun or fat mamma pistol ammo.

Getting into a fire fight with authority, it has to be the authority mg with the x2 rounds!

My favorite is the pistol with "Fat Mamma" ammo. That gun is amazing and is so much fun to use. I also like the crossbow with dynamite bolts. I like how the authority react as you stick one of those on them.

since a wingstick isnt a gun I suppose I can't vote for that (though it is the most insanely overpowered weapon in the game if you ask me).

I would say the good old pistol with fat mamma rounds in or the combat shotgun with pop rocket ammo. I think once I had those available I used them for 90% of the time.

when you have combat shotgun, and wingstick, you are just done with battle. two weapons easily can handle most combat in rage. of course, if you upgrade part, that will be even better.

The downsides to explosive ammo are that you can't loot exploded bodies and have to be careful using it at close range.

All of the weapons except the Assault Rifle are pretty good with advanced ammo. I prefer the combat shotgun against muties and authority assault rifle against everything else.

Its an id game. The challenge is to run right up to monsters and shoot them in the head with the shotgun without getting yourself killed. However, I really enjoy shooting the first boss monster in dead city in the crotch and would love to see someone make a mod with the appropriate high pitched cries of pain and some sort of accomplishment.

I love everything about the Combat Shotgun. It feels like it has a helluva force behind and it's very satisfying when you connect on an enemy. And the sound too, I swear it almost echos.

I like the versatility of all the weapons actually, especially when they have multiple types of ammo. They all have their use.

Pop rocket shotgun and dynamite bolt crossbow are hands down the funniest weapons in game. What could ever be more satisfying than turning a solid enemy in to a liquid enemy?

Hrm - so many to choose from, I liked the Authority Mini-gun with the AV2x rounds... thing fired like an uzi and hit like an AK . . . but my "favorite" had to be the dynamite bolts .... "Ahh... Nooo... oh Sh*BOOM*" awesome every time.

Combat shotgun is great for mutants and anything up close. Authority machine gun is my gun of choice for medium or close distance shooting where a scope comes in handy. Later in the game, the better ammo options and scope option really improved the settler pistol. I used it a lot in the second half of the game.

The upgraded wingsticks were deadly and yes, the dynamite bolts were awesome. I used them on mutants, because you never had a body to loot anyway.

Crossbow with Dynamite is unbeatable and illicits a range of curses from the target while the fuse burns ...very amusing and you are rewarded with an equally impressive explosion of gore to boot.

Even better, as the victim is squeelin and peelin, if he happens to stumble into some of his compatriots it's two (or more) for one :) Good Times
