The shotgun can stop the sword, hammer, and is the best of close range weapons. The BR is an all purpose weapon, and can stop charging opponents in skilled hands. The sniper can be used in close range combat (if your skilled at no scoping/quick scoping) and it can also be used in medium to long range effectively. All in all it all depends on who's using what weapon and how good they are at using it.

For me it's the sniper if everybody doesn't have it.

The plasma pistol, hands down.
You get 2 of them right, dual wield, and you can demolish a whole team right there.
It's hell raining out of those things.
That's how I got all my exterminations.
No mercy for the other team.

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

The needler is my pick.

But close range will not work with it. It also has limited range.

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

Depends on the situation and what you choose, use your head.

Why are you still reading this?

Quick answer: There is no "Best Weapon"!

Explanation: It depends on the situation. At medium ranges (e.g. 25 yards) a plasma pistol/magnum dual combo can be the best combo possible if you can aim it right, while the same combo isn't very useful when there's sombody with an energy sword/shotgun/Gravity Hammer just a few feet away from you.

Basically, here's good matchups.
If you're at medium range against a battle rifle, use a sniper rifle, beam rifle, or spartan laser to counter. (though these require good aim)A carbine or battle rife will also work if you have better ground or the enemies shields are low/down.

If at long range vs. sniper rife, counter it with another sniper or a laser.

If at close range vs. energy sword, your only hope is a shotgun blast to the chest or face. You may also get a bulltrue medal in the process. Sniper rifles(and exellent aim at that!), dual SMG's, and dual Maulers will also work in some cases. Try to follow up with a melee in the rare case that you hit them right before they slash you.

At long range vs. Spartan laser, use a sniper rifle or another laser, but make sure you have good cover to back up to, in case you miss.

If your shields are down agains a close range weapon, your best option is to stick em, or get a lucky sniper/shotgun blast or assassination. They may just get confused after missing you at an arms length away, giving a chance for you to assassinate them.

NEVER use a vehicle against a spartan laser, unless it's a scorpion tank.

Choppers are good against warthogs, warthogs are good against ghosts, and ghosts are good against mongooses. Air vehicles are better at long to medium ranges against ground vehicles. Scorpion tanks are good against every vehicle, and Wraiths are best against infantry at medium/close ranges.

That pretty much covers it I think, hope it helps!

fear me, for i am pro sauce

plasma grenades

you get stuck, you gonna die, got no choice about that (unless lagg decides against it).

if you stick someone you got a chance of gettingmultiple kills form the one stick, i got overkill from 1 sticky.

they are powerful little buggers, blow your sheild off from a wide range, certain death if you stand over it.

hell to other weapons on the game. give me stickies and AR.

Can't you see I'm Busy!?

MOST weapons in the game have their own situations where they excel.

The BR it probably the most rounded weapon, Excellent at mid range and good at both long and short range.

Laser is amazing against vehicles at long and med range, but the charge up makes it harder at close range.

Rockets are excellent against vehicles and individuals at short range, but not so at linger ranges unless the target is unaware

The sniper is excellent at long range, but can be easily supressed by BRs at any other range.

etc etc etc etc


There is no 'best' gun :)
