what's everyone's standard 4 weapons, etc?
i personally don't ever use either of the two slings.. i find them awkward to use and i think you can get just about every element elsewhere, anyway..
don't care for the rattler, either. i feel it's inaccurate as hell and i get hit when i try to use it, lol.
the war bow is fine, no issue w/it and against certain enemies, it can be a great tool (i.e. ice arrows)
but i primarily just use the standard bow + the sniper bow along with the tripcaster/ropecaster
i am, however, a bit disappointed w/the armor choices. most of them look shitty and also don't change much. i basically walk around with two armors. i mostly use the blazon armor(s) because i think they look the coolest (mmm, flat-tummy athletic girl look!) or throw on my stealth gear when i feel like doing a bandit camp in full stealth or w/e.
For myself, it's always :
Left - Shadow Hunter Bow - + 3 Fire mods
Right - Shadow Sharpshot Bow - + 3 Damage mods
I haven't changed those two since i've got them. Highest damaging arrows + Tearblast + cheaply made but decent damaging arrows you can group in 3's quickly + fire arrows.
Outside of those I usually have the Lodge War Bow for my bottom weapon - maxed out with corruption mods. 3 arrows will corrupt anything you run across regularly, great to cause havoc in any group you run across (override one machine, hit another with the arrows)
Then for the last spot I rotate between :
Shadow War Bow - modded with Shock mods for Longlegs, stalkers etc.
Shadow Slingshot - modded with Freeze mods for Behemoths, Tramplers (slower + bigger so easier to hit with a sling)
Lodge Blast Sling - modded with damage mods
Lodge Ropecaster - modded with tear/handling mods for Stormbirds etc
Shadow Tripcaster - modded with damage mods (for the blast tripwire. "Hey! Listen!" *Boooom*)
When I first saw the ability to increase your weapon capacity, I thought i'd never really need max. But having weapons of the same damage all modded differently saves time switching them out when needed, so I make sure to have a Shock/Freeze/Fire/Corruption weapon + high damaging bow + really high damaging weapon (tripcaster blastwire or blast sling) so I can switch in a second and don't need to ever remove mods unless i'm improving them.
As for Armor, I use the stealth gear with moar stealth mods, or elemental with melee damage decrease mods, though i'm one cell away from fancy armor.
oh, yea, i didn't think of the 3 arrow thing... two & three arrow nocking are my next purchases.. they work with warbow?
Yep, all the bows. with mods and 3 knock you can pretty much cause an elemental weakness in any machine that has one.
