Scheneighnay Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Break from the usual optimization topics. Anyone else feel like guns, with the exception of tranq darts, just suck in PVE? The ammo weight to damage ratio of just about everything is so bad that it's just not worth shooting at anything bigger than a raptor, with explosives being even worse. Add onto that that with just a moderate investment into melee damage a sword will give you FAR more DPS without having to constantly craft ammo and haul it around. Mounts like the equus in particular would be much better if player weapons were actually relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco90 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I always keep a gun with me just in case a camper thyla drops over me and my COD reflexes take over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1ckyBandit Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Good pump, comp bow, and sniper are all effective against PVE and PVP targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeyGriffin Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Alpha Rockwell is perfectly doable on official PvE with just cactus broth and a good pump, so I'd certainly not say they're useless. I always have my trusty pump in any boss arena, just in case things go pear shaped - saved the day more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AscendantWhip Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Honestly the weapons i mostly use for pve are pumps, comp bows and a 298 assault rifle usually does the trick for me. Assault rifles cause they absolutely rinse any small / medium dino with no saddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
