this is a topic related to weapons' abilities (damage,firerate,etc..):

Note: the colors show how good is that weapon, from yellow to red and the numbers show the rating of an ability, and at the end with a final rating from 1 to 10

1) Blaster

Description: it's the most useless weapon because it has very low damage, but the only good thing is that the it has unlimited ammo. it can be used at its best when you do the corner trick against slow monsters.

Also called: SG

Fire rate: normal (6)
Damage: low (0)
Ammo: much (8)
Tactics: you can use it when you want to kill berserks/infantry/soldiers or other weak units. there's a specific tactic to kill the berserks: go in front of them, shoot, go back, and repeat (the point of this strategy is that the the berserk tries to attack because of that the you get in front of him, but he always misses because you fall back, and finally, he gets hit.) (5)

Special: nothing (0)

Final rating: 6 (D)



3) Super Shotgun

Also called: SS

Damage: High (the ammo makes it better than the chaingun) (9)

A final question: which weapons do you prefer the most? (top 3)
Example:

1) Railgun
2) Super shotgun
3) Hyper blaster

i remembered there was a topic like this somewere.. well anyway

1.Supershotgun
2.Blaster
3.Railgun

Supershotgun

Good for many situations, big damage, effective against most of the enemies with a good tactic. Bad thing is it loses its power even if you are a step away from your enemy.

Blaster

Just great. One of the most tactical weapon of the game. Because of it never spreads you can effectively use it on long range too. if you corner and hit evry shot you can kill big enemies too without using any of ammo. Bad on many enemies/combat situations.

Railgun

Good because you can use it the same way as blaster, but you will always hit becuase monsters cant dodge too well and its right where you aim it.
railgun is good in both close range and long range, but bad in some situations (lo of enemies that are long distance from each other).
you can use it like blaster in long range and like Sshotgun in close range. bad thnig is that you get it pretty late in the game.
