    It's weird that roundabout and twist up are labelled with "average damage" even though they both do a noticeable amount more damage than peashooter.

      To be fair, peashooter fires faster than those two weapons, so the dps winds up being similar among all the weapons across a normal match.

    Interesting fact about crackshots EX ability: you can parry into it, which causes it to auto home in onto an enemy like a heat seeking missile. Gives it more versatility than letting it passively aim small shots at enemies, or trying to close in the shot.

      You could also argue that the rankings would be different if he used a DLC boss instead of Sally. When you think about it, these weapons were built for the DLC. Twist Up is great for Flying Aces, Glumstone, and Frost Wizard (forgot his name). Converge is great for Moonshine Mob and clearing mobs on Glumstone.
      I think Sunburn did the right thing with his research and picking Sally. It would just a completely different list I think if a different boss was picked.

    Here’s a trick with lobber: If a boss is about to phase transition by popping onto the screen, (beppis 2nd and 4th phase and the root packs onion phase as an example) Stand where they are going to spawn and shoot up. The lobbers will just bounce and keep themselves there, so that all the lobbers can hit at once doing SO much damage. It’s called a lobber trap and it’s super busted when used correctly.

    @shtj6761 2 роки тому +81

    I think one aspect you haven't covered is how you can switch weapons depending on your needs. Chaser is horrible on its own, but as a complementary weapon it's amazing. Against Sally, for example, I use Spread whenever I can get close to her and Chaser for when I need to evade stuff (and the entire 4th phase because fuck that phase), and she goes down much faster than when using just one weapon exclusively.
    My personal weapon ranking (this is before the DLC comes out, haven't played too much with the new weapons yet):
    6. Peashooter. Jack of all stats and master of none. Everytime peashooter can be useful, there's at least one other weapon that handle it better. And Roundabout outclasses it in almost every way.
    5. Lobber. It's very useful against Grim Matchstick, but only kinda okay in most situations, and downright horrible in the rest.
    4. Charge. I'm gonna get crucified for this one, but I find this weapon kind of awkward. Like what the video shows, you need frame-perfect timing to make Charge stronger than most other weapons' continuous fire. I mainly find it useful against hard-to-reach bosses with decent health, like Goopy 3rd form or Captain Brineybeard. For those with less health I just use Chaser for less risk.
    3. Spread. Amazing if you can get up close and hit all shots. Unfortunately, it's risky for some and just downright impossible for others. Against bosses where you, though, like Beppi, Werner, and Sally, this weapon just shreds them.
    2. Chaser. See the beginning of this post. When you feel like you can't hit a boss with your shot just switch to Chaser for a bit of extra damage. Also by far best weapon for Run n' Gun.
    1. Roundabout. Just a really good all-around weapon. Just by shooting backwards you basically eliminate its weakness. Out of the entire non-DLC bosses, the only time Roundabout's drawback actually matters is during Ribby & Croak 3rd phase's frog and bison attack.
    Haven't thought much about the new weapons, but Crackshot probably will replace Chaser as number 2. Converge and Twist-up kinda sucks tbh but let's see if I change my mind later.

    This is a pretty good list! You should rank all the charms next!
    Here’s my personal shot ranking based on my experience from the DLC + base game:
    9. Peashooter
    8. Twist Up
    7. Chaser
    6. Lobber
    5. Converge
    4. Spread
    3. Roundabout
    2. Charge
    1. Crackshot
    Edit: After some practice on most of the bosses, I’m moving Twist Up to 6th Place. It does good damage and is actually easy to use with the lock aim. It also looks pretty satisfying when you hit your shots.

    Roundabout was pretty much my main weapon throughout the base game, but for the DLC I decided to use Ms. Chalice and a new weapon throughout, so I spontaneously picked Converge. It surprised me a lot, wasn't expecting much but I got a lot of good from it, especially because of how many mobs/ minions the DLC bosses have.

    Converge absolutely demolishes the Phantom Train, especially the first phase. Since you can fully narrow it while jumping as long as you’re holding the aim button, it’s guaranteed to hit every shot on the Blind Specter. At its default wide range, firing it repeatedly gets rid of all the flying pumpkins that come in, so you don’t need to worry about your position changing.
    I’d say it’s useful up until the final phase of the fight.

Which isn't to say the ranking is incorrect but I definitely do think that each weapon is specifically made to have a weakness that another can very easily cover. Like objectively in Sally stageplay lobber isn't good for phase 4 but that drawback is made up in the fact that you most likely have a something in your back pocket that can handle it.

    Lobber believe it or not actually carried me through my playthrough. It is immensely useful against rumor honeybottom, and can really get you through certain phases quicker than most fights. I feel like its range is underated, as people are just not using it right. You need to take advantage of gravity to get the most out of the shot, which is immensely helpful. Its good against Root Pack, Ribbey and Croaks, Grim Matchstick, Werner Werman, Rumor Honeybottom, Phantom express past the first phase, king Dice, Mortimer Freeze, Glumstone, and Chef Saltbaker. Mortimer freeze is more after the first phase.
