Well it depends on what you want to kill and what its resistances are. For instance a dxr-b using acid can lay waste to rancors much easier then a t-21, which uses energy. The rifle given by Victor (cannot recall its name) can destroy NS with kenetic so it depends on the mob. However I usually prefer a dxr-b as my default rifle.

as a novice rifleman i found a T21 that was a 7.1 speed, got a good speed slice that took it down to 4.something, and put a 33% speed powerup on it that took it down to 3.5 speed. spam overcharge1 and i get around 2k per shot, that was at novice rifleman. I can use the DXR6B rifle now, no need for the T21 anymore

My personal favorite is the T21. Mostly because they're fairly common. The DXR6 is really nice, but they cost maybe 3 times as much (from what I've seen). So I bought a handful of T21 and had them all sliced. In the beginning,I used the fast ones with speed powerups since I was so wicked slow. As my speed mod increased, I started using damage powerups instead, or the damage sliced rifles with speed powerups.


The damage calculator below is very handy for figuring out which weapon will work best with your tactics. The big shots before master are Flushing2, Headshot3, and Concealshot.

Spd Sliced, Spd Power Up on T21... the 40% wound, the better average damage make it 100x better than a Laser rifle...


BUT!!! CONSIDER YOUR TARGET...


Spd Sliced, dmg Power Up DXR6 is a great weapon against rancor, you get a brawler or CH buddy, go mow down these 5 at a time in 30 seconds... you get my drift?


The City Quest Rifle is no longer kinetic, so killing NS is out the window... just remember to always EXAMINE...


Remember T21 is your best energy weapon b/c of its average damage and its Armor Piercing...


Acid Rifle is your only good hunting rifle that ISN'T ENERGY, the SG82 and Jawa SUCK for lvl'ing...


I always have ppl do rancor with a leveling CH, they love hte combo of getting MAX CH exp and amazing rifle exp at one time...

I based my recommendation of the T21 on experience. Early on, I was trying to decide between lasers and T21s, and I just seemed to kill stuff faster when I was using the T21. It also depends a lot on what you can find on your server.


Also, against a (PvE) target with no armor, 150-390 AP3 becomes 290-760 and 50-440 becomes 78-687. Lasers are naturally faster than T21s, but the extra AP will balance out the DPS in many cases.


Maybe I was just swayed by the fact that the thing was as big as I was.


Happy shooting!

wondering why there are so many recommendations for t21 without considering the target... even so, I'd suggest a laser rifle. its faster, requires less ham, and does more dmg. yes, a t21 is heavy armor and a laser is medium. if youre just shooting quenkers and huurtons, you dont need heavy piercing. an average t21 on my server is 7.8 390max dmg unsliced... lasers are 6.0 440max dmg. the math is pretty simple.
