As you progress through the game, having the right weapons can significantly impact your effectiveness in combat. Here’s a guide to some excellent intermediate weapons, along with essential mods and tips.
1. Understanding Weapons Types:
Before we dive into specific weapons, Let's categorize them based on their Strengths:
Crit Weapons:
These weapons have ~20% or more critical strike chance.
Primaries (rifles, shotguns) are the strongest for crit builds, followed by melee weapons.
All weapon types can work well with crit builds.
Status Weapons:
These weapons have ~20% or more status chance
They excel on weapons that hit quickly (similar to on-hit builds in other games).
Avoid running status builds on shotguns unless they have 30% status chance or more.
Hybrid Weapons:
These weapons have ~15% or more critical strike and status chance.
Strongest on melee weapons but decent for all types.
Garbage Weapons AKA MR Fodder:
These weapons have sub-par critical strike and status chance.
Most of them are not worth using unless you have a powerful Riven mod or they are exceptions.
