I've used a pretty wide variety so far and these are my favorites: Red Death, MIDA, Stranger's Rifle, Hawkmoon too Stronk, Silimar's Wrath (it's a -blam!-ing monster in cqc), Matador is broken as -blam!- good, Praydeth's Revenge still beast but really got gimped by the field scout nerf, all Jolder's hammers now completely outclassed by BTRD and Zombie apocalypse, Truth still amazing, proxy det. in general still pretty good, Bad Juju is a monster, Abyss Defiant will do work, the VOG scout rifle is wrecking but I STILL don't have one, and hard light is also pretty ok now. I'm becoming more and more of a fan of Ill Will for some reason. Somehow it just feels good to do well with it. Generally speaking pulse rifles are really good in the mid game, auto rifles can be surprisingly good in the mid game but high RoF autos will cream people in close, hand cannons are good for close to mid range, and scout rifles are coming online thanks to the nerfs to handcannons. Shotguns are easily still OP, and snipers got gimped by the field scout nerfs kiss your 6shot snipers goodbye. Fusion rifles are absolutely meh, I prefer them but I feel like they're outclassed by the big 3 shotguns. Rockets are still dominating the heavy game, but corrective measures and BTRDs are quite good as long as you can weather the storm of explosive bullshit following heavy drop.
