I am wondering what the best weapon I should use on my crat is. I see pistols seem to be very common, but when I started this game way back when pistols got nerfed hard so i dropped them ever since. Also the fact that you have to use pistol, fling shot, dual weild, etc all costing far too many IP. I see the crat specific implants are all geared to shotguns so it looks like funcom suggests shotguns which I guess makes sense with the crit buff. Also the fact that while shotgun is dark blue you only have to increase shotgun and not thirty other skills. I am at a coin toss point here. I got the pistol from the noobie island upgraded so I put some points into pistol up to 16 to use it. Now I am at the implant point and see the shotgun implants going...err...I guess it was intended for me to use shotgun.
