Weapon+EXTRA
-Have individual skills to benefit specific weapons
-Some skills can be shared to benefit various of weapons


*****SMG, LMG, Sniper rifles and Assault rifles*****








*****Shotgun*****











*****Pistol*****
*****Akimbo weapons*****








*******DLCs are needed! *********
-Which one is the “BEST” weapon?
-There is NO any of “BEST weapon”. This is very complicated to say, the weapon is in your hand but if you don’t know how to using it. The question is, how it become the best for you?

-Every weapon has strengths and weaknesses on their own.

-The weapon itself couldn’t be great without helping of suitable skills and perk decks.
To describe it is the “BEST” weapon


+Easy to use
+Great ammo pickup
+Have great accuracy and stability
+Faster reload
+Complete the objective perfectly (personal preference)
+Use the right weapon for the right situation and of course fit your personal style

Weapon+EXTRA (examples)
Example 1
Commando 101 Rocket Launcher. This weapon has no ammo pickup, so you have to get it from ammo bag only.
Importantly, make sure you know how “Bulletstorm Skill” works, it’s pretty useful because you need ammo bag.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2089631004

-Use the Commando 101 Rocket Launcher to destroying the helicopter turret, for achievement in Biker Heist on day 2 and Green Bridge Job. You can use another weapon to do it but this weapon is one of the choices.

-Use the Commando 101 Rocket Launcher to kill enemies far from you such as snipers and shields or use any shotguns with Dragon’s Breath Round equipped.


Example 2
-You can use the OVE9000 SAW or use shaped charges to open the door or cage
-You can use the OVE9000 SAW or use ECM Device to open the ATM
(It has no ammo pickup for OVE9000 SAW both primary and secondary, so you have to get it from ammo bag only)

There are many ways to do objective, a decision you have to make which one is the best to complete the job faster and more efficient.


Example 3
Some of really bad guns: All “Akimbo Shotguns” (Without helping skills)
How are they really bad?
Akimbo Goliath: good damage but decent ammo pickup and shoot a single fire only
Akimbo Brothers Grimm: good ammo pickup but really bad in term of damage
Akimbo Judge: Highest damage among other akimbo shotguns but really bad ammo pickup and bad stability.


Did you know? All available “Akimbo Weapon” have (-36) stability by default

In personal, I like to use the Akimbo Judge.
With helping skills and perk decks, you can possibly do anything you’d like.
-High damage (easily to kill enemies with a few shots)
-Concerning about Health? (use Grinder Perk Deck or Gambler or any)
-Eat lots of ammo and low ammo pickup (“Ammo specialist skill tree could help)


Tips: manage all available skill that you have got carefully to make a great build with the weapon you’d like to use.

Some errors may occur (of course English is not my main language). However, this guide haven't completely done yet for some reasons and don't be serious.

Thank you for advice, will edit it later :)

I don't really see a purpose to the "Rifle Gun= 26" section since that's literally just ingame info. There's no reason to put it in a guide.
