LasGun, fast, accurate, no reload, not the most powerful, but if you use from a distance it can unnerve most Aliens.

Well, it depends what stage your at. If both are S1 then it is Shotgun. If we are s2 and AS1 Shotgun, Anything up Lusi or chaingun

Shotgun.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: kozak6 on March 15, 2008, 06:37:15 am
It really depends on the circumstances.

I am rather partial to the shotgun, though.

It's amazingly incredibly cheap, so you can damn near always afford to buy one.

It packs a rather nice punch within its effective range, and is effective against bigger bugs since their gigantic hitboxes soak up all the pellets.

I also rather enjoy the lasgun, and the pulse rifle when it's practical.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Revan on March 15, 2008, 02:51:41 pm
My favorite load out is: pulse, light armor, helmet, battery, grenade (optional).
this has killed many a base.

Post by: Dracone on March 15, 2008, 03:31:34 pm
Shotgun, it's the only weapon bind I have. Although on the side it functions as a rifle, armor, helmet bind if I don't have enough for a shotgun and armor/helmet.

Post by: InsanityQ on April 03, 2008, 09:06:45 pm
md is by far the best weapon...if you know how to use it. I bet if two humans were to try to kill each other, one w/md one w/luci, the md would win, just cause theluci is so slow.

This post is wrong in so many ways. No weapon is by far the best. An MD would not be first on any account except for killwhoring dretches (where the luci can probably do better) or maybe support (where the lasgun is probably just as good). If you are fighting goons and rants, MD is one of your worst choices in my opinion.

To be the most effective, it requires a battpack, which makes it cost 450. The shotgun is 3 times cheaper, and just as, if not more, effective as the MD (and even better than MD vs goons and rants) except for chasing. You don't have to spend as much for it either, and MD is a shaky buy in s1 vs goons. I would also choose the chaingun, which would cost less as well, over the MD in s2. It is, again, better vs the higher classes.

Also, this game is built for human vs alien, so using human vs human to compare weapons is extremely stupid.

So, you can choose MD as your favorite weapon, but it is not even in the running for the best weapon. Sorry.

Flamethrower (http://vietnamresearch.com/flame/info/flamethrower-boat.jpg) is by far the best weapon (http://forum.clanzerorisk.com/index.php/topic,857.msg12808.html#msg12808), in ever way.  Pair it with a jetpack, and you're golden.

But seriously.  I voted Flame.  :-P

Shotgun remains my favorite. Snap aiming at semi-instantaneous speeds to get kills gives me the opportunity to focus on dancing with my enemies, and I love dancing just as much as shooting.

However, I spread my time out a lot. Second favorite would be lasgun right now.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: blood2.0 on April 05, 2008, 04:49:45 am
i voted lusi because it is effective.  laz guns take forever to kill something with pluss you need really good aim and shotguns require quick reflexes and great aim.  I use lusi because i have non of thoughs and have all you need for a lusi 
timing and tracking.

You still need good dodging and a firm grasp of luci jumping. But yes, memorizing the luci speed is extremely important.

Post by: Tycho on April 05, 2008, 10:29:50 am
I voted shotgun... But I love MDing marauders and humuliating dragoons with the MD too... Lazar is good to pick off multiple aliens since high clip and no reload but not as effective as a few well placed shotgun shells. It's just easier ;)

(since luci hold'n'charge is deemed as a bug exploit and also removed I just use luci for basekilling and killwhoreing dretches :) )

Post by: cumesoft on April 05, 2008, 11:31:20 pm
What about the standard issue? It is the only one I had so far (beside the grenades).

Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Samurai.mac on April 07, 2008, 08:30:08 pm
The painsaw is pretty lethal when used well, it's quite possible (I've done this a few times :) ) to duel Dragoons and win, as long as you can dodge the pounces and get in the behind them. Infinite ammunition and very high damage make it great for cutting through bases, too. The Lucifer Cannon, while it's not a favourite weapon, it's highly useful for close range combat and for giving supporting fire at longer ranges, although the chaingun usually is effective for this. If you're going for close range combat (or the occasional, very lucky sniper-range shot :o ) against smaller aliens, in my opinion the shotgun is the way to go.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Computer[SU] on April 07, 2008, 09:33:21 pm
Chaingun, for its versatility. It can take down bases if necessary (at close range). Large aliens are toast from the knockback and dretches are easy to deal with. It is viable both at close and long range - damage output in close quarters is insane but since it's hitscan with high rate of fire and (relatively) small spread it's still possible to chase.

At 400 credits, it's cheaper than pulse (effectively 500).
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Ryanw4390 on April 08, 2008, 01:51:51 am
Probably the painsaw. Even though I rarely use it now I still can't help but appreciate how much enjoyment I got out of sawing the alien base when I was first getting started (it was basically the only thing I could do considering I used to play on dialup).
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: King on April 08, 2008, 05:21:05 pm
Large aliens are toast from the knockback.

For me, chainguns are by far easier to eliminate rather than the Pulse Rifle.  The Pulse Rifle's knockback, IMO is far greater and I can hardly ever kill a moderately experienced Pulse Rifle.  Maybe I just suck... but hey, I try.

If you know how to use the Pulse, you're untouchable.  Same with the Chaingun.

My favorite human weapon though is the MD, mainly because it requires a lot practice to get a hold of, and I appreciate its damage per round.  My second would be the shotgun.  Third being the lasgun and on down.  I only use those three weapons for 90 percent of my playing, the rest are for base elimination.

I'm not saying to hit dretches across transit, but if you have good aim, you kill dretches in 10 shots just about anywhere, and load a clip or 2 into mara/goon/rant.

Often goons understimate the power of heat. They just jump around trying to get a hit. When they are low, they try to escape and are being catched by a skillful wielder burning their backs.

rifle is my favorite because it is accurate at medium range, it is hitscan, it is effective agents small aliens, it is great for chancing down big aliens, and  it is free ;D!  I do use other weapons of course during s1 i try to stick with the rifle unless none of my teammates have shotguns to kill the goons.  During s2 i use a shotgun with larmor and a helmet because it is cheep and effective.  For s3 i eather go with a chainsuit or Lusi helmet battpack and larmor depending on the other teams skill.

Luci Cannon because i can use it in all situations. Killing small and medium aliens in close range with ease. It's only the big aliens that i have trouble with if i'm doing 1 vs 1. They seems to have too much hp for one battlesuit with Luci Cannon to handle up close alone.

I find that the Luci is the most fun to use. It costs a bitch load, decked out with a helm, battpack, larmour & a gren - this hightens the stakes for me.. making me feel all that much better then I humiliate that Tyrant 1v1 with two both lucky/well placed shots.

I find that shotgun owns the most(cheap, high dmg, suprises aliens, snap shots- give you time to think when soloing 3-4 aliens). Believe it or not.. It's good[alright] for base killing. Shock-horror, it reloads and isn't long range.. Your team needs to rush with you for you to base kill with it! D:[wtfhax?]

I voted Luci.

Flamethrower, as it produces a wall of of solid "GTFO".

Personally, I think the luci's one-hit kill for anything lwer than a gon makes it hard for aliens in hs3 to get enough evos to level up while everyone lucispams away, that and I despise it's effing sond effect.

Psaws
- Incredibly fast damage, can pwn goons head-on
- Unlimited ammo
- Effective in hallways and stairs, where aliens can't typically run away
- Fun with friends
- Great for blocking

Flamers
- NOT FOR TYRANTS
- Great for backpedaling
- You can annoy the hell out of goons
- Also great for blocking

Lucies
- Obviously much more powerful
- Lucy-jumping in ATCS can get you from one side of the bunker to the opposite side on top of the bunker
- Backfiring easily kills dretches, basis, and maras
- Goons are self-explanatory
- Blastertoggling is fun

I didn't put much thought into this post, so don't kill me please.

I plan to specialize in every weapon that doesn't act like a gun.

Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Demolution on October 21, 2009, 06:17:18 am
Yet the buildings are stationary (extremely slow to move if a builder is offensively building), so the aliens must will themselves to get near these "weapons" and be attacked by them. In other words, the weapon is dependent on the aliens' decision to get near turrets/teslas/reactor.

Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Jack Bauer on July 09, 2010, 06:26:38 am
Man, I can't choose. I <3 Rifles. I <3 MDs. I <3 Shotguns. Those are my 3 favorites. I dont care for lucis. The only time I chain is if im going chainsuit, and need to protect base or something. Las guns (as stated in my sig) are a woman's weapon. "Las" gun. I always try to point out how underrated rifles are. 150 dmg per clip. Burst fire. And need I remind you how much they cost? People like to argue with me that las is better than rifle. FALSE. Las only does slightly more damage. AND its 250 creds. I would rather keep the almost as good rifle, for 0 creds. I go through different phases. Sometimes I use only rifles, sometimes only shotties, and sometimes only MDs. And obviously as stated, it depends on what you want do do with it. If you are after goons, go shotty of course. If you are in the mood for sniping dretches, the Mass Driver is obviously your weapon of choice. Of if you want a combination of the two, rifle for the win. I dont know if I could chose between these 3 but if you had a gun to my head (hopefully youd be using a blaster) I would probably go with the md.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Demolution on July 09, 2010, 06:57:39 am
Lasgun is superior than rifle because of the fact that it provides you with uninterrupted fire for as long as you have ammo. Combine that with battpack, and it's even more effective.

That being said, shottie and MD do more damage per shot, and are what I would pick.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Venkman on July 09, 2010, 08:24:05 am
The Laz Gun also kills Dretches slightly faster than MG. But still, the free cost definately makes MG a valuable weapon to learn.

I love the MG for its burst-fire, but that's probably just because of my Counter Strike roots.

CS made burst-fire feel like a form of art.
Title: Re: Favourite Human Weapon?
Post by: Jack Bauer on July 09, 2010, 04:32:38 pm
Back in the day I was strictly an MD guy, which is basically why I burst fire. I treat it like an md. Also, I dissagree that las kills dretches faster. Rifle fires faster and only takes 5 bullets to kill a dretch. I say its about even.

Honestly, I don't play Humans a lot on 1.1 so I could be wrong, but I thought one laze blast killed dretches.

Sometimes I'll get lucky and the human's MG burst will only clip my Dretch, leaving it with like 5-10hp and the chance at another head-bite (because not everyone is good enough to use an MG as an MD ;)). That was basically what I meant by "faster". But if Laz needs more than one pop to kill a Dretch, then you're right. It is about even.

In fact, I think I'll go consult the manual real quick and find out...

AND LATER

I couldn't find the damage for weapons listed in the manual :'(

I used "Search" to check the forum but still couldn't weed it out. Did I just not look hard enough?

CONCLUSION:

In the end, I think my point comes down to this:

If your a noob human, Laz Gun is an easy way to kill Dretches and assist when rushing because it doesn't require reloading and it's an extremely accurate ranged weapon.  

But if you're a pro like Bauer, the Laz Gun is simply a waste of money.

Be pro and read the source code. ;)

From tremulous.h: The lasgun takes 3 shots of 9 dmg to kill a dretch, rifle takes 5 shots of 5 dmg. The lasgun has a repeat rate of 200ms, the rifle has 90ms. Therefore, with a rifle, the dretch is dead 360ms after you start shooting, or 400ms with the lasgun (assuming 100% accuracy).

Its pretty comparable on those numbers, the difference is that the lasgun doesn't have to spend nearly half its time reloading. And can use a battpack for extra ammo. And has zero spread.

I think the basic rifle is doubtless the best human weapon. It's free, accurate, and does quite a lot of damage. You can carry 750 damage-worth of ammo for it.

Well, damn. Thank you, Jez, for clearing that up.

Now that I've really thought it through, one laz blast killing a Dretch would basically make the Laz gun a fully-auto MD.

LOL... Considering how much I like to play Aliens, I'm glad I was wrong.

You could read the stickies instead of the code. http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=509.0

Good advice. And thanks for the link. I thought I had seen the weapon info on the forum before, just couldn't remember what it was posted under.

Mass Driver.  According to tremstats, I have more massdriver kills than kills as an alien >_>  I need to play them more k.


On a second note, if Saliva.ddos votes in this, he better choose ckit.

I want to see Friend Granger in this! He is a very vital weapon for protecting humans.

shotgun, with grenade

Because that combination is good for raiding an alien base cheaply, and repeatedly

Chaingun, because once you've learned how to compensate for the recoil, and actually know how to dodge there's no need for a battle suit.

Why is the grenade not an option? I get more kills with it than some of you with shotties :D
