FOR YOU ANOMALY FOLLKS HERES THE BONUS FACT
the flame weapons would be a C they are good for lighting up enemies but fire again is unpredictable at best. The Nerve Dart Bow would be an b for taking prisoners more effectively as well as prison management but i cant give it an a because its still pretty damaging for that purpose and its not good for taking down foes quickly with low stopping power.. The other biomutationg weapons are alright but you have to clean up the mess after so C at best. Deadlife mines are neat but it takes to long for the dead to rise so enemies have made it through the killbox by the time they are stopping any of them.
Subscroob
I’d argue that the nerve dart bow is higher tier by virtue of having a longer range than the bolt action rifle
This is exactly what I was gunna ask for! Would also love to see a weapon tier list for VE due to the huge variety it’s hard for casual players to know what is good to use.
to be fair it's all about how you use it, if you want a weapon weapon to end someone then sure. but the stun bow + a ghoul with wooden hands so they only give blunt damage instead of bleeding making perfect captures and the stun bow can really come in clutch... they're situational but still great and as much as i suck at rimworld have hard carried.
Flamethrowers became my new favorite weapons with the new dlc.
Especially on my new Tribal blind anomaly playthrough (permadeath). They stole a flamethrower from some unlucky trader and had way too much fun burning their own base down. :D
I had to defend myself against a Revenant. And i think that was the most tense i've ever been. The revenant appeared right in my midst. I wasn't particularly impressed(yet). Decided to wait for it to turn the corner, but it just flipping opened the door to my main combat focused pawn (who was still sleeping) and hypnotized him. So my next idea was to wait for it to walk by and assault it. Then it just vanished. That's when my tribals knew: 'We're fuuuucked'.
I chekced the message and it said fire or emp. I had neither besides a few firecrackers looted off some neanderthals. So i did the only sensible thing and set the place ablaze. No luck, so every night my guys would huddle up, bows and shivs/knives/whatever else at the ready. It just wouldn't reappear.
Then one night, a trader appeared. He did have a flamethrower but i did not have enough silver. So i ordered some emergency crafting, hoping i'd manage to make some goods for him. Then it reappeared and hypnotized the trader. I managed to get some chip shots in though. I saved the trader but did take the flamethrower for myself. And i set the place ablaze a second time because i'm a dumdum and did not learn anything from the prior attempt.
So again, my guys and girls would stay up, weapons posed. Then it appeared on the third night after the second attack. It wanted my researcher (who was also my best shooter next to the Hussar that already was downed) this time around. My local idiot (who refuses to do anything besides eating, sleeping and art) had the flamethrower. The revenant stood right besides my researcher. Either i'd wait and probably loose my chance to take it down and have my researcher out of commission or i just go in bows blazing. I went in, burned the Revenant and my researcher and then everybody was on that thing. Alot of burns later (because my flamethrower guy had to keep lighting the thing up to keep it from dissappearing) on pretty much everybody but my dryad(who ran off in terror), the thing was finally down.
I admit, the dlc might feel lackluster after the bombshell that was biotech but it does make the game alot harder, scarier, less forgiving and alot cooler stories. :D
But yeah, i love my flamethrower now. (Also for burning corpses because gray ash event is only moderately funny if your entire map isn't burning to the ground)
So Hellcatrifle in C just because it has a flamethrower addon? It's just slightly worse than Assaultrifle but two tiers below...
Chain shotgun deserves to go way up. Outperform everything in low range kill box and most outdoor encounters and especially in many anomaly scenarios
I agree completely the amount of times it has saved me is insane with two people with chain shotguns it will shred
I agree completely, I’m not sure you you say snipers are that much better than chain shotguns
Chain Shotgun should be S teir, it is one of the highest DPS weapons, fighting in close quarters is often alot more effective at quickly downing targets, using a combination of melee, and chain shotguns at choke points is devastating.
I agree that Chain shotgun is god and Sniper rilfle is shit.
It's great for people who want to micromanage their defense. If you're always manually repositioning pawns to create ambushes outside your base: The chain shotgun will murder anything.
Wood, best weapon in the game
So true
Who needs a fancy charge gun when u can get a board with a nail in it?
And renewable, and the only weapons you can farm without mods or deep drill 🤑
@@Jibbzzadding a nail? Now why would you ruin a perfectly good weapon?
@@Jibbzz Put a screw, not a nail
Chain shotguns deserve more love they're my top 5 fav😔😔
totally agree , its so powerful that has a killbox only for himself
I build narrow mountain bases, love them
FR Charge guns are my favorite weapons in the game but omg one bursting a raider with the shotgun is an amazing feeling as well
My chain shotgun corridor would beg to differ
my charged rifle killbox doesnt beg
Shotguns didn't deserve the F and D Tier Rating 😪
yes the single shot shotgun has the best accuracy in my opinion for close range
@@dlich6966 Pump Shotgun does indeed have the highest base accuracy for short range and the 3rd highest for touch range (being beaten by Machine Pistol and Heavy SMG in that regard)
a low shooting skill pawn will benefit heavily from a Pump Shotgun.
Agreed. I love using shotguns, especially for low accuracy pawns on a firing line.
Agreed, pump shotgun deserved better.
List is all over the place. In actual combat, you never want to fight enemy pawns on equal grounds, and as such kiting, outranging and splitting your enemy is main tactics.
So in combat, chain shotguns in their range, which is easily enforceable by being in a kill box, outperform everything else. Ranged combat is dominated by sniper rifle and anything closer with hit-and-run is dominated by Assault rifle.
Charge lance was nerfed to the ground and worse than sniper rifle or even bolt action, in certain circumstances.
Charge rifle is a worse and more expensive version of Assault Rifle. Less range, higher CD, similar damage.
Utility weapons, like emp grenades and smoke launcher, obv useful in their respective situations.
Rest of the weapons can be just ignored, unless you want to just mess around and use them for fun. They just not as good, and on higher diff you need best of the best.
Guess he is not called Noobert for no reason
As stated in the beginning, performance is not the only category, work cost, resource cost, availability and time of availability also count.
Okay so firstly with your charge rifle analysis
WHAT?
36% more damage 218% more armor pen is "similar damage"
The slightly worse fire rate makes it end up being 21% more raw dps
Then the accurace and range are slightly worse, but with the range youre often gonna be planning around whatever weapon you're using for what range you play at so it's negligible. Not to mention when bringing quality into the mix that 20% dps increase is a lot more significant with masterwork charge and assault rifles
Charge lance shouldn't be understated in taking out a priority target quickly, a legendary will likely 1hko most humans almost 1hkoing cataphracts too. Then you can also use it to pick off almost any mech cluster priority target utilizing a smoke launcher to make your escape.
And no not all utility weapons are useful. Firefoam mortars suck
You don't even need a kill box for chain shotguns to be effective, you literally only need some walls and a door and you will SHRED
@@cryochick9044 assaut rifle have 2 percent less damage at mid range in comparison to charge rifle. and you are extra salvo due to range. Only plus of charge is high ap.
Machine pistol highly underrated. If you have a swarm of machine pistol boys nothing is more fun
With the dual wield mod? Ooh baby
Charge Lances do not deserve S tier imho as they are pretty gimmicky, in order for them to pay off you really need them to get a lucky hit on a bodypart such as the head which is unlikely. They also often do overkill damage to bodyparts meaning they aren't s efficient. You're statistically better off just going charge rifles for the increased DPS. Charge Lance is A tier at best. It's just not worth making with your precious spacer components. It's totally fine to grab one if one is free but to make them yourself? I'd hard recommend against that. It's in that uncomfortable spot where it doesn't do enough dps to justify making one yourself and better than most weapons that it can be pretty useful if you can get your hands on one for free. But outside of freebies, you don't want to be making these.
Charge Lances are one of the few F-tier weapons lmfao
@@WHAT_TAHW I would agree, its a weapon made for the AI with its many disposable units to luccsacc a kill or remove a limb on heavily armored colonists rather than for the player.
It's really useless when you can go hardcore into aimtime with Bandoliers and Aimlinks along with Sniper Rifles and outperform even Charge and Assault Rifles at Max Range.
Chainshoty is S tier. Highest DPS in the game, effective with all shooting levels, relatively cheap to produce. Enemies close the distance so fast chain shotgun is almost always the best choice unless you have overwhelming firepower
This list is more suitable for a casual playstyle... Chain shotguns, HMGs, and EMP grenades (launchers are garbage, can't even get through walls) are the killbox goats and miniguns are super underrated in field combat.
The problem with the minigun is that it overkill someone and the other bullet are wasted on his body
If a load wasn't locked on a single character it would be great, but as it is it's more of a tank buster
@@ryomaanime4563 true, but it still has the greatest dps potential, and tends to be broken with flat accuracy bonuses from ideology or some combat mods
@@formless000 The problem isn't the dps
It's that it deals too much damage over a too long period of time as it shoot only one person per burst
It basically kills one thing every 5 seconds.
But lot of weapons can kills faster and switch to another target while the minigun still has to unload 10 bullets in a bag of dead meat
If at least the bullet continued in a straight line after the target is down it would be 10 times better
I'm using it, but only one or two in a colony, mostly to take down important target (so, as a cooler sniper)
EDIT : but maybe I was using them wrong. I always give those to the best shooter, and only the highest quality. But maybe we should want to miss to have spread ?
A suggestion- You should show us the completed tier list at the end of the video so we can reference it. Still a great vid, thanks for it!
I definitely agree sniper is powerful but another UA-camr pointed out that careful shooter becomes a huge downside in long fights. Also maybe it's just me but I love to have a hussar in the colony for that and they almost always come with crazy shooting skill.
Chain shotgun is like my favorite weapon in the whole game bruh. They can shred thrumbos, with melee fughters they can be used very well against insectoids or mechs. In my colony i have a chain shotgun for every ranged pawn stored in weapon storage just in case
And with the Anomaly dlc they can be used very well against devourers
You forgot the Dustlife killbox, just put a room full of bodies open before your killbox and you can raise 20+ undead back to life for 4hrs IG. it gets rid of a shit tons of bad raids
And during a Deadpall?
@@scavenger6268 Also useful, just gotta have to do extra work keeping the stockpile roomed and roofed.
My brain is so wired with Combat Extended that for a fat second I just stood bamboozled at the minigun and machinegun being at C tier.
Weird that Noobert classify Charge Lance S while AdamvsEverything classify as F tier.
Adams is a minmaxxing player
Adams is a competent player
Different strokes for different folks. To quote Adam, "However you choose to play your single player game is the correct way."
Machine pistol has the highest chance of any firearm to down an opponent without killing them. If you want more colonists, use machine pistol (and maces or clubs). If you just want the enemies gone, use anything else lol
Just searched this up and the timing couldn't have been more perfect
I tried using the pila for hunting once. Most wildlife figures out wtf is goin on if I miss the first shot and ends up moving outside of range before I finish the wind up for a 2nd, 3rd 4th, oh look it's time to eat without a table, 5th, 6th, and bedtime with a bleeding animal that will die and be set to un-allowed because my hunter didn't technically kill it. Bad experience, would not recommend
How is bolt action higher than chain shot gun and assault rifle? Id put pump in a and rifle in s
At this point you can't convince me this dude doesn't pronounce things weirdly on purpose for comment value
he said jif
what are your thoughts on the nervespiker / whatever that crossbow weapon in Anomaly is? Couldn't find it in this video. Nevertheless, fantastic vid thanks for making! Very informative
I don't generally watch a lot of youtubers who play games i do but you and a few other rimworlders always catch my eyes
All hail the Heavy SMG! (and the Bolt Action Rifle)
My favorite go-to gun would be the heavy smg.
Decent range, good firepower and relatively cheap to make and even pawns with low shooting skill can hit that mountain with at leats one bullet at some point.
I actually like using greatbows for quite a while as well, since they do massive damage over a long distance (my hunters usually sport greatbows until they get a sniper rifle) but i usually just give them to pawns that actually are good at shooting. (rip another spine i suppose.. sadly my own guys)
Incendiary launcher (flamethrower :D) is my new go to that at least one pawn has against alot what anomaly throws at me. Turns out undead, monsties and undead monsties burn really, really, REALLY well.
Too bad new players are going to see this and think chain shotguns are bad. They are extremely strong even on the open map, especially against things with flesh like every enemy in the newest dlc.
Incendiary shells have one good use, if you get a well clustered outdoors infestation sticking out of the underground they can be used to burn down most of the hives and call the bugs to your base and through your killbox.
I also recommend setting up an outdoor location with some nearby home area and a small structure to possibly trigger infestations there, works nice when your underground freezer gets warm. You still have a small chance of any infestation triggering out there.
I use the utilities mainly for raiding, i love these
I'm doing a new playthrough for the anomaly DLC. I got a legendary sniper rifle from a quest and gave it to a lvl 15 shooter pawn. In the first encounter it was used in, he managed to miss the megarachnid and shot the head off of my melee pawn engaged with said nid. 10/10
I would love to see a guide that goes over how much the quality of a weapon or a piece of armor affects its performance. I was reminded of a pawn I had once with a legendary revolver, and I always kept thinking when would be a good time to replace it with a different gun (i.e. I didn't know when the "legendary" modifier stopped outweighing other options).
Currently doing my first anomaly playthrough, and I bought a minigun (good quality) very early on since the trader wasn’t selling any other weapons, I had some organs to sell, and I needed a gun for one of my colonists. That thing is a beast if you can cover them while they are readying to fire, especially against enemies with larger body sizes, which you see a good bit of in anomaly.
I usually keep a 50/50 of heavy smg to ar with my high range pawns getting ars while the rest get smgs. I then keep a stock of specialised weapons for occasions when they are needed
I misunderstood the title. I thought you were ranking other people's tier lists at first. Would be fun to watch actually ^^
How do you rate the nerve spiker and the hellcat rifle?
noobert my man, i absolutely love your videos, but i'm going insane after hearing the same exact music track every video lol.
Rimworld Mater Noobert! When CE 1.5 appear, are you gonna make similar explanation video about mod weapons? :D
There are a lot of problems with this list. Chain shotgun and minigun deserve to be higher. Toxbomb is almost useless. The EMP launcher is crappy as well.
honestly this changes a lot about how i gear up my colony now, i have no real knowledge of power to scale weapons with so if just use what i thought sounded cool lol. luckily a lot of rifles ig but unlucky a lot of revolvers too. I've been a fan of shotguns but never really had assault rifles and machine guns 🤔 guess i die off too early.
what about the traits? can you do a list for all the traits like abrassive, industrious, ect?
Rimworld should add cat silencer fr
Only my weapon understand me
Someone has been playing postal lately 🔥🤟🔥
Where would you add the Anomaly weapons?
the flame weapons would be a C they are good for lighting up enemeis but fire again is unpredictable at best. The Nerve Dart Bow would be an b for taking prisoners more effectivly as well as prison manegment but i cant give it an a because its still pretty damaging. The other biomutationg weapons are alright but you have to clean up the mess after so C at best. Deadlife mines are neat but it takes to long for the dead to rise so enemies have made it through the killbox by the time they are stopping any of them.
@@Noobert thank you
@@hozic9929 Deadlife traps are SS-tier. They'll handle ANY raid in the game with zero involvement from your colonists. Just set up an entire roofed room the size of the trap, throw every corpse you find in there, make that room a path towards your colony, and whenever a raid arrives, send a pawn to shoot the trap and raise all the corpses. Nothing survives it.
Id say, for anomaly only, all the fire weapons should each move up one tier for the sole reason that fire is insane when it comes to dealing with fleshbeasts, especially so with the Fleshmass Heart and Dreadmelds
Honest I gotta say, if youre going for a melee based base defense giving your rangers chain shottys is amazing. I wouldn't put them in d tier myself, and smoke launchers. They can allow one pawn to solo dps certain mech clusters depending on the mechs. Ive used a sniper vs a mech cluster with a fair amount of centipede gunners and pikemen and with a couple of breaks for mood management was able to take it down with only one shot back landing
Also firefoam shells. Literally the only reason I ever used one was because I thought they would explode if lit and I had no way to defend my farm from being burnt up by raiders. So next raid I was gonna haul them in and then that next raid that threatened my farm was after I got firefoam poppers. . .
I bought them for nothing
since anomly chain shot gun and mini gun performs way better then before especially minigun with 15+ shooting skill has now felt the accuray of an heavy smg ( and with crafting tiers i dont know how many times my 2 mini gunners saved the day at an devourer encounter spawing wooping 18-24 of them and they be able to pick them down 1 by one ) Sniper same down as many posted by many as anomly seems to have in mind so many anti killbox / long range counters .
Noobert Noobert
You still cant convince my cultists that bioferrite axes aren't a gift from the void itself....or from Khorne.
The amount of limbs that fall off from enemies and anomalies to quickly remove them from combat so you can get to the next really helps.
Personally, I prefer the Assault Rifle to the Charge Rifle for the most part, as it has longer range and accuracy. But when you gotta fight mechanoids, the extra armour piercing is needed.
any chance for DLC weapons?
from the title I thought this would be a video organizing rimworld tier list videos into a tier list
You know I just realized something. Does Noobert count as a Vtuber? I guess he does. Holy mother of all sheets he is! HE IS!!!
watched but... I always play with CE so it kind of turns the tier list upside down lol
It really does lol. LMGs are really good (well modded ones are lol).
Do vanilla expanded weapons please 🥺
I would put flamebow a bit higher.
Sure, it is hard to come by, but it is an incredibly reliable utility weapon, more reliable than molotovs for that matter.
Greatbows deserve a special mention as well - they have LONG RANGE - they are outranged only by handful of weapons - dedicated sniper rifles and bolt actions, miniguns and assault rifles and missile weapons. This alone makes them especially dangerous in open combat - because they force you out of cover.
With other tribal weapons, you are perfectly fine sitting them out and outranging them - not with greatbows.
Chain shotgun is easily an A tier weapon at least, perhaps even S - very high damage, good accuracy at its short range, decent enough rate of fire and unrivaled kill potential within its effective range - this is a prime weapon for dealing with infestations, clearing rooms and fighting within cramped killboxes.
Incendiary launcher is not better than molotov. The thing is - molotov is thrown faster, and you can easily throw it, just like regular grenade - at short enough range to negate random deviation. Flame weapons are saturation weapons, and slow firing speed of incendiary launcher cripples it.
Minigun being so low is also a mistake - it is an easy S tier weapon - IF you can deal slower than normal movement speed, this is one of the strongest weapons around - good range, good against crowds AND against large single enemies (remember, Centipedes are easier to hit!). A group of 4 minigunners is basically able to wipe out entire enemy raids and reliably lock down a decent area.
I would say that sniper and bolt action do not deserve A tier, but B - their requirement of high skill hampers them massively and even with it, they are not exactly reliable. Sniper is good for kiting, but that is the very definition of a niche.
Assault rifle is an S - it is a weapon that is incredibly versatile - high range means you can sit in cover unless enemy has dedicated snipers or pikemen. It has relatively low penetration value, sure, but it is still cheap enough to be rather easily massed. It remains useful, even once you have access to charge weapons, because of universally good range.
Charge weapons... to me they are tethering somewhere between A and S. Charge lance on its own is a poor weapon - it needs to be massed, and is a good support. But as an individual gun... it is not great, unless you have extremely good shooters. And don't get me wrong, it has tremendous single-shot damage potential, but even with it, guns that shoot multiple bullets tend to do better.
Charge rifle has wonderful damage output, but it is hampered by several issues - it has mediocre rate of fire, sub-par base accuracy and fairly pitiful range. Unless you can funnel the enemy into a killzone or if you have very, very good armour always on - this range may force you into a bad position. This gun is all about damage, but you need to know how to deliver it first.
I'm disregarding killbox use here, because at this stage, it is just a DPS contest with a well designed killbox - go with chain shotty, heavy SMG, miniguns and charge rifles. But open field is a different beast entirely.
Now... You may think that charge weapons are an obvious counter to mechanoids... But think about this - the most dangerous mechanoid in direct combat is not a centipede (unless they are massed)... It is a lancer. And lancers are barely armoured - this one tile difference that assault rifle gives you over charge lance means you can hit it before it even starts to aim - you give it less of a chance to headshot your pawns.
Charge weapons are great, but you need to couple them with good armour
It's not in the base game but there's a mod that gives you a dual mounted M2 machine gun turret. That's my favorite weapon in the game even though it's not the most powerful.
Charge lance in S tier? This was nerfed to the ground over the years. Take a look at Adam vs everything's gameplays and you will see this tier list is not exactly correct in many aspects.
Chain shotgun is a real one , stopping power of it is much appreciated.
Today I learned that Smoke Launchers have an actual use. The more you know.
now do the same weapon tier list but with combat extended mod
The bows are good for one reason, to be able to be spammed crafted until a better weapon can be made. Wood is very easy to get in most biomes while components are really not. A masterwork or excellent great bow can carry a pawn all the way to mid game until they are good enough crafters to make the better ranged weapons.
Honestly I'd rank pilla as a D TIER weapon since it doubles as a melee weapon meaning you can give your melee tanks a ranged attack option
Revolver is actually pretty good early weapon. Whopping 1(bolt action has 0,5) stopping power is really good when kiting melee enemies.
I actually think the Pistol and the Pump Shotgun are better than F rank, at least E rank. These are great options for low skill. They are very decent for hunting prey that doesn't attack back, and repelling early game low count raids with ease.
ok but if you start without items and with the new arivals shortbows are gonna stay for a while unless you really focus on research in early game, see one time, because i somehow was too slow on research to upgrade i almost defeated diavolus (summoned by mistake) using shortbows and a breach axe (someone with bloodlust), now that i think about it i just wasn't lucky enough to get weapon traders neither any weapon reward quest, so even if they are the worst ranged weapon it is the only one that can be aquired on any biome except ice sheet and sea ice without any effort at all. Maybe I should try to get bigger weapons faster but i was trying to go for guns...
I think the best ranged weapon is the FGM-148 Javelin.
Heavy SMG in my hearth - best of the best
The shooter's skill and health status matters the most when it comes to what ranged weapon they should be using, and overall the Pump Shotgun is the best all rounder for almost any situation due to the really high touch (80%), close (87%), and medium (77%) range base accuracy. The Chain Shotgun is best used on pawns with already good shooting and health stats.
Chain Shotgun may have the better DPS, but that won't really be a factor if your pawns miss majority of their shots.
Honorable mention goes to the Machine Pistol for also being a non-shooter friendly weapon in really close quarters fights.
The pump shotgun is underrated but the Chain shotguns accuracy is not bad considering the short range and 3 shot burst sort of hiding less accuracy. You'll prob land at least 1 shot and that has the high stopping power of shotguns.
Id very much put chain shotgun at B
Its amazing for bugs/melee raiders, or in killboxes
Some of the highest dps come from it
Even the clip you showed for it, the tribals didnt even make it to the colonists
Never heard of the Orbital Cluster Caller.
Music?
Poor pila. Fun fact it can be an effective melee weapon in emergencies.
i need something that takes the dlcs in to account
Naaah, man, u haven't said about main feature of revolver - stopping effect. You can easily kite enemies and use run'n'gun tactic, which you couldn't do with other pistols
Where would you put the Hellcat Rifle?
s. because assault rifle x flamethrower
Shootguns are so good for pawns with low shooting skill
since toxgrenades are the necessity for the tox box they are simply s tier who can wipe out tribals and non wasters like there is no tomorrow
No no, a pila in early run you can make 3 colony use it on one tittle when animal sleeping, it have high damage making it can one shot almost any animal so free food without risking any injuries, at first start when you not have pawn capable enough to shot animal from afar or doesn't have decent range weapon it was decent choice
Chain shotgun is a to s tier......
The only real weapon are your colonist. I mean literaly
I really disagree a few of the picks, Charge rifles and Charge lances being so high up and Chain Shotguns being so low. The Charge Lance especially needs to just swap places with the Chain Shotgun. Their niche of a short range, low DPS, high AP weapon doesn't make sense for the player since enemies usually don't have much armor, its very vulnerable to over killing body parts, wasting a lot of damage and puts you into vulnerable positions to be able to use it. It's dangerous vs the player because the enemy raids are balanced around being killed at great ratios vs the player and a high AP weapon like that is difficult to mitigate.
Charge rifle really does not have enough upside over the Assault rifle to warrant an upgrade since lower range compensates for the slightly higher AP and DPS. The fact that its a significantly later unlock and advanced component cost should drop it down, not unusable but poor for its cost and research.
Chain shotguns are probably the best weapon defensively and most of RW is defending your colony, it should be at least be up there with the AR as competing for the best default gun to use. Short ranged nature means even low shooting pawns will often get hits, very high stopping power so its effective at kiting melee enemies and it is easy to force enemies to get closer to you via breaking LoS.
Best weapon are rats hamsters or squirrels as they can be sent to a zone in front of your opponents so they can tank for you.
I just outfit my entire colony with miniguns. Even 0 shooting colonists will help because shotting skills doesn't matter with miniguns first place, you just spray and pray. And then have maybe 2 colonists with shield belts and maces to keep the enemy busy
The mini gun is broken powerful in the mod ve ancients, the superpower that makes all shots land and the one that makes all attacks hit vital points makes them death machines 🥴
Why did you not include the anomaly weapons?
This video was done before then. i included some of them in a pinned comment :P this video is primarily focused on the usability of ranged weapons in open combat. so i think people millage will differ on this guide as some people will come into it with the preconception of killbox use primarily or other forms of combat. its hard to make an unbiased weapon guide XD
None of these take into account the heavy bandolier, gunlink, or ranged specialist. I think it definitely bumps some of these weapons (minigun).
if we accounted for every factor and every situation we would never be able to finish the list XD. for this we focused on open combat use
I dont think much has changed in 1.5 regarding weapons, i strongly disagree with chain shotgun being so low, it has a massive stagger and crazy damage, several pawns with chain shotguns can slaugther waves and waves of enemies, ofcourse if you dont keep them in open field. Early game > S TIER bolt action rifle & chain shotgun. Mid to late game you often get drop pods with enemies and i prefer to have versatile weapons so its either assault rifle or charge rifle for everyone. Charge lance and sniper rifles i dunno its really not often you get to use their full potential, maybe keep few on a stand for special ocasions when you have time to prepare for battle outside your base?
The chain shotgun is a beast i don't get why is it so low on the list. Just take 1-2 pawns close to enemy and they gonna destroy em. You can bring some animals with ya to protect those chainers if it's necessary.
Poor Lips just keeps getting got, over and over again. :(
Can't believe the chain shotgun is that low. 😢
Charge Rifle and Lance should be used in conjunction, where one provides long range Poke to weaken approaching enemies while the other shreds them in medium range
At least that seems to be what Tynan had planned...
Except the Charge Lance has lower range than the charge rifle.
@@VisibleNoises It...doesn't? lance is 30 and rifle is 25
@@darkequation Oh yea, you're right, confused with AR range
Yeah this list is odd. I want to add the industrial weapons are better as they are more specialised than spacer tech. If you only gave everyone one weapon type I'd sort of maybe understand the points made. But a mix of chain shotguns/heavy smgs, assault rifles and sniper rifles is 100% going to cover all bases, especially when you give the right mix of weapons to the right mix of pawns.
Is this list CE compatible, cause 1.5 isnt
He says right off the bat that it's the base in game weapons as of 1.5's release.
Why the assault rifle A tier? The most useful weapon in the game. A chain shotgun to. A minigun very good and deadly if you pawn has a good shooting skill.
Yay!!! ❤🎉
Why everyone defends the Chain shotgun so much?
I'm a new so, i wanna know why
Anomaly player said hellcat is really good, the fire spew can repel melee guy and smoke ranged guy out of cover
hellcat is op yeah super good
0:42 weapon jifs??? Who puts jif peanut butter on a weapon?

Now VE weapons 😁
