What are folks using now? Anyone found anything particularly cool, or are you using your old mainstays still?

We've already talked bows--they're awesome. I fully Masterworked the one Petra gives us in short order. I love it.

I like the exotic. something about those lighting shots. I managed to get all three bows (the fourths a secret--I presume a raid weapon). both my legendary versions have explosive heads. I find the bows all great for medium to long range but with my never issues I'm not a great aimer.

I also found a Go Figure pulse rifle. It dropped with Outlaw and Full Auto, and it absolutely rules. Hit hits pretty good, but it feels and sounds really great.

got one of those. I liked it at first but I got other weapons and now I don't like it as much when I go back. maybe if I find some perks I like.

I also found a really neat Trackless Waste submachine gun. It has Tap the Trigger and Dynamic Sway Reduction. Tap the Trigger gives bonus initial stability and Dynamic Sway Reduction increases accuracy as you hold the trigger. I don't know if those perks synergize in a really great way or if that gun is just a pretty stable gun to begin with, but this thing shoots like a damn laser beam, and it is stupid fun to use.

I recently got that. I prefer auto's over submachine guns so I haven't tried it much yet.

I have a Dust Rock Blues shotgun with Smoothbore and Moving Target that I like quite a bit (a lot of my enjoyment for this shotgun is down to the way it sounds and feels to shoot--it's just got a great thwump).

I've got a Badlander in my secondary inventory that for some reason I love to use. it's got a hair trigger so I often double tap it when I only need one shot. As an alternative I've got a Toil and Trouble in my primary inventory but I don't like it as much. I recently got the Lord of Wolves but I couldn't use it very well so it went to the vault.

I've got a Cut and Run energy scout rifle with both Outlaw and Rampage. It's a great gun on paper, but I just don't like it, which is a bummer. Garden Progeny is going to be a hard scout rifle to beat if I'm in a scout rifle sort of mood.

I have not been using Scout Rifles much. I got a braytech rwp mk II but that's only because I'm working on a warmind questline.

My Bad Omens rocket launcher has both Auto Loading Holster and Genesis (auto return rounds to the magazine if it breaks shields), so it's a good rocket launcher to never reload.

for the life of my I have not got any legendary rocket launchers yet. I have a blue cup-bearer sa/2 that I keep getting with cluster bomb.

my goto heavy right now is a Edge Transit grenade launcher although I think i've done something lately in my armor perks that made it not as fun. I've recently got a Year 2 version of Play of the Game

I'm still on the hunt for a good Auto Rifle. The Dreaming City is supposed to have a good one, so I'll be on the lookout for that.

I havent got much but I keep the Misfit in my inventory. Right now I'm using Ether Doctor a lot

What are you all using?

I also have a Ten Paces hand cannon but I don't do good with hand canons so I haven't tried it very much.
havent got any Fusion Rifles in a while
Have some swords but I mostly keep them around for power, Abide The Return and Steel Sybil Z-14
