    Spitmaw i thought was a 1 star weapon but after the tower dlc i gave it a shot again it is absolutely cracked now explosive spit is insane its crazyyy also pylon feels way weaker now best weapons imo now for the tower atleast would be a launcher with full auto a spitmaw a dreadbound and rotgland would be the gun you take if there aren't other 3

Even the the part of boss strategies was a nice touch. Gold standard for an informative video, keep up the great work.

    Thanks bud! I was really looking for information on the traits but getting a rundown of all the guns was a nice bonus. I've only had the game for about 2 weeks and watching your video I realized i'm in biome 6 right now, wasn't really keeping track. Hyperion is also my favorite fight so far. Loved how the music got so dramatic as I got closer and closer to her. Favorite gun is definitely the carbine with Leech Rounds II but I am starting to really love the Rotgland Lobber (spelling?). Thanks again and I'm adding this video to my favorites. I guarantee I'll be rewatching as time goes on.

    Great video. I’d like to add some things you missed. The level of traits for alt fires like say mine or the tendralipod gives you the number of mines or tendrils you’ll get. So level 2 you’ll get 2 mines. Or two tendrils. Level 3 for them is the same. You’ll get 3 for each. This also can be said for level 3 traits for coilspine. You’ll get 4 discs in some instances instead of 3. Spitmaw and carbine level 3, rapid spitter or rising pitch enhances the gun to a new level much better than level 1 or 2’s. The spitmaw on level 3 rapid spitter is crazy fast and quick reloading. The modified sidearms with level 3 traits is a God tier gun. Level 3 burst fire, ricochet and shrapnel will destroy anything easily. The ricochet shots bounce off walls and surroundings while the shrapnel explodes in hundreds of pieces. One of the best guns to use and a lot of fun. Rotgland can also be 4 shots with level 3 traits. Level 3 Tendril on that gun will amaze you how good it is. It’s worth upgrading Also on the dreadbound. Level 2 and 3 traits will make this gun unstoppable and fire much faster with no need to reload this gun is my favorite gun to use with high level traits. Expanding shards is one to look out for on level 3 traits. Fourth shard level 3 is faster and return damage is great. I never not pick up this gun after upgrading the traits. In the first 2 biomes this gun is hard to use because it is too slow. Biome 4 and up this gun is my favorite. The level 3 traits add a ton of more details you missed that make all the rest of the guns crazy good. Can turn most guns automatic and fast firing and completely change your rating system you have now. Love this game it’s super addicting. Hope there is a second one or at least dlc.

    Great Video! My first playthrough I used the Carbine quite a bit, until I found the Pylon Driver. I used the Driver probably more than any other weapon, but after beating the game 4 times and spending many more hours just grinding and playing for fun to unlock traits, I have to say the Coilspine Shredder is one of my new favourite weapons. Initially i didn't like it much, but as you say it has a rhythm to it, and if you have good traits, and aim for headshots, it can finish off tough enemies, and small enemies quite fast. Also I love the Dreadbound! Really all the weapons in this game can be really good with the right traits and knowing how to use them properly. I've rolled a Sidearm with Charging Shot, Homing Missile, and Burst Fire that absolutely wrecked everything in B5.

    Outstanding work on this video bro. Well done. The Tower Sisyphus is loads of fun and is a game changer for the weapon trait grind. Props to anyone who did it through the main game. Honestly, I'm impressed at the variety of traits and creativity that went into them. It really adds to the replayability of the game, which is already above average just on the strength of the combat itself.

    Great video. One thing that came to mind, I remember using the tendril pod on an automaton and when it was attached, I believe it made the automaton unable to attack, or at the least limit its move set. Regardless, if you use it, check it out and on other enemies to see what else it inhibits. Could assist you in combat against enemies that shoot many projectiles.

    Thanks for the informative video. Very well thought out and helpful. Eventhough I agree with most of what you are saying, I think every weapon in this game feels amazing and powerful. Depending on your playstyle of course. Dreadbound-Hollowseeker-Electropylon are my go to guns, when you play for a certain amount of time you just take your gun and go with it because it feels great. But not a single weapon let me down in this game. Excellently designed and unique guns over all. I am so hooked, now that I finish i don't know what to do 😂 it's like sissyphus's story. When you are used to carry the boulder(die over and over again) you don't know what to do anything else. There is this familiar feeling of loneliness, isolation and fighting everything with Selene with dark/hopeless rooms, It portrays almost nothingness and hopelessness of existing. In this vast and unexplored world, even if you finish the game, the feeling never stops. And you begin at Helios again. Unbelievable game, this feeling I didn't get from any of the games I played before.

    Thank you for this super in-depth guide it was really helpful! I personally think having less time where you are shooting is one of the most important measures of a gun. It's why I would put rotgland over hollowseeker. Yeah, the hollowseeker has a big ammo pool, but you slow down while shooting and also have to both focus on hitting the target and dodging.

    The Launcher with full-auto fire is terrifyingly powerful, and probably my favorite weapon to use on all but several edge-cases. One time I had it in a room against 2 Severed enemies and they were just too maneuverable for me to do significant damage to, and I got my butt kicked, with them teleporting around and whatnot. Other than that, Hollowseeker is of course amazing, though I think serrated projectiles is an amazing trait that doesn't always get the respect it is due, and I also totally agree on the Rotgland Lobber. It's a beast.

    Not sure how much the spitmaw has changed but I think you slept on slug shot. I got me through the first 3 bosses back to back. The slug gives you a sort of best of both worlds where you can use it on single enemies or groups. There is always around 2-3 "pellets" that fly with the slug, and with rapid and backsplash, it clears rooms with ease. Oh and negating discs for the Coilspine with alt-cooling or adrenaline! Nothing like shutting a boss down while draining them.

I may have just beaten it for the first time but I appreciate the incredible amount of work you put into this That said, Hollowseeker w/ Portal Turret AND Laser were what won me the final fight. Was close as hell but I can't help but wonder if my carbine w/ leech that that swapped out on a whim would have Faired better or not. That said, again. Wonderfully well made vid

    Excellent ***ALTHOUGH - I'd like to make one suggestion for your future videos that are similar to this one. I'd recommend not showing too far into the game. The info is awesome, but I'm only in the 2nd biome and I constantly had to look away as I was seeing enemy's and bosses but still wanted to read the stats. There were a lot of times I saw things (or cut scenes) that I really felt like were ruining the element of surprise in discovering those crazy bosses and enemy's while playing the game. Maybe for future videos stay within the first 25% of the game for background footage. Really great work and I'd like to continue watching your videos... this one element was the only thing that I thought others may have felt as well. Thank you for your content.

    I’m not sure if all of these weapons were reworked, or if you just didn’t bother to read the weapon trait descriptions when you made this video. Ie; Sticky bonus doesn’t make your bombs stick, they’re sticky by default, it just adds extra damage to direct hits. Simmering shot doesn’t give your bombs a DoT attack, it gives unexploded bombs a damaging area of effect. Leech rounds is a percent chance to proc with each shot, not “every single bullet heals you” Among many others, this info is all immediately available from the equipment screen

    I know how loved the Hollowseeker is from seeing it appear in many "best weapons list" but I definitely dispute the idea that it's definitely the best. The Rotgland Lobber with just one trait, explosive rot, one shots the majority of enemies in the entire game. Even with a fairly low level Lobber with like 2 bars of damage, it literally one shots almost all the enemies in biomes 1 to 3 without having the damage over time effect even come into play. From biomes 3 to 6, and with a higher level Lobber, it's just one blast and some DoT, or two or three shots and some DoT. And because of the DoT which disables most enemies from attacking, once you tag them, even if they survive the insane one shot damage of lobber with explosive rot, you don't have to worry about the enemy at all with very few exceptions. Dodging becomes easy. A Hollowseeker needs serrated projectiles, portal beam, another trait like waves, and high damage stats to do what the Lobber does with just explosive rot, or even just one of the lesser traits like durable rot or caustic rot. And because you can fully charge up the gun in just over a second, even mobs of flying enemies like the ones in biome 5 melt just with the simple tactic of charge, shoot, dodge if needed, charge, shoot, and rinse and repeat. If the lobber had decent enough stats for splash radius, like four bars which really isn't a lot, trash mobs of even 6 or more all bearing down on you at once just melt in a hilariously short amount of time. This gun is hugely underlooked by a sizeable amount of the player base. I haven't played around with Dreadbound, which as I understand is regarded by speedrunners as the highest DPS gun, as much as the rest of the guns. But of the ones I've tried extensively, which is everything else, I'd say the Lobber combines low skill ceiling and extraordinarily high initial damage, followed by great DoT which most guns either lack or need a trait for, better than any gun and makes it an easy candidate for the best gun in the game barring the Dreadbound.

    Excellent and complete summary! You didn't cover weapon stats; Extra damage is top, but some other stats can really amp some weapons. Mostly agree except I don't like Electroplyons Web trait at long range, too much spread and missing, especially in 3 & 6. Hollowseeker is IMO overrated without at least a portal or serrated trait. I personal always avoid Charging Shot and Mega-Rockets and avoid Web in 3 & 6.

    I'm not sure how it is on controller, but playing on mouse on PC Sidearm has additional advantage of actually firing single shots as fast as you can click the mouse, which generally gives you an effective fire rate about twice as high than advertised which I'm pretty sure references what you get when you just hold the button.

    Strong disagree on the Hollowseeker... In my experience the rounds are highly inaccurate and have as wide a spread as the wide maw spitmaw blaster. It takes forever to take down even the weak enemies. It doesn't matter much that it has a long range if it's taking 4-5 times as long to kill enemies as it does other weapons.

    Got to agree, I find Hollowseeker medio chore, at best, but I acknowledge that is my opinion. I wont pick up unless I have something worse. Dreadbound with expanded and explosive shards, Ill pick up over any gun. On last boss Ive taken down in 20seconds or less with Dreadbound. My List would be 1. Dreadbound (with explosive and enlarged shards) 2. Electropylon Driver (any traits apart from web as I dont like it) 3. Everything else. I would also say that a person should pick a weapon with traits you like over the level of the weapon. I've done Biome 4-6 with a level 15 weapon, simply because it was a Dreadbound with explosive and enlarged shards and have picked it over level 30 weapons simply because of the traits and how good the combination is.
