Wow its been a while since I posted but i wanted to see how different it is then and now. How similar is it? how different is it now? prepare for nostalgia

So im doing this per class by the weapon tag system

CLASS 1: HANDGUNS

- when I quit the game, the best handgun in the game was the silver wolf. I would have made it a tie between that and atarot, but i personally feel like silver wolf is easier to use, and has more consistent damage etc.etc.

CLASS 2: SNIPER RIFLES

- Maskeleon in sniper mode. It was revolutionary, bringing in a near-oneshot kill sniper that didn't need scoping and had auto-aim. Obviously it got soft-nerfed later on, but it still reigned as the one-shot kill king for a while, upping the DMR-003 in my opinion

CLASS 3: SHOTGUNS

- very simply, the Aristocrat shotgun. It was the greatest shotgun of all time, boasting a range that was impossible for any real shotgun. It had an insane fire rate and reload rate, and was hailed as the king of the game for almost 2 years.

CLASS 4: Assault weapons

- This one is actually pretty hard, it would probably be a tie between Incursion ram, battle ram and rainbows end. Incursion ram simply for the high damage over time ratio, battle ram for its insane range, and rainbows end as the best of both worlds.

CLASS 5: LAUNCHERS

- probably the Flare Mk.3. with the ability to one shot most enemies on the field, has a straight shot, and 4 bullets in the clip, it took the original flare and fixed it's greatest problems while not compromising on the speed of the weapon as a whole. overall an insane weapon.

CLASS 6: HEAVY MACHINE GUNS

- Anti-tank type-33 easily above all others. this was again a one-shot kill weapon boasting an insane range, and damage. It was the bane of my existence for all the time it was released, and one of the reasons i left.

CLASS 7: Bows

- Explosive crossbow. Yes I was around for that, it was the most recent event weapon I got. basicaly a thumper on steroids. fast fire rate, large radius of explosion, and the reload time was also quite quick.

So! what do you guys think? how has the game's top weapons changed over time? are some of them still kings of their own class? Remember, this is a list based on my reccollection, which i have already admitted is outdated.

Fire away! what do you think is the greatest weapon of each class now?
