Best weapons in the game:

Latron Prime at best rifle dps to single target. High crit damage combined with an already high base damage gives it huge dps. Combined with a low reload speed, the ratio of shooting to not shooting is good. Honorable mentions: Soma and Synapse, both with amazing crit scaling but very low base damage.

Ogris at highest muti-target DPS. The Ogris DPS is decent but not amazing by any means - that is if your comparing it in the single target category. The weapon has a massive aoe, however, and the best ammo economy in the game. As long as there is at least 2 targets to shoot at, the Ogris is the weapon of choice. Honorable Mentions: the Penta has a faster rate of fire but don't let that fool you, the travel time and limited range on this beast are crippling. The Ignis with a surprisingly effective gas proc build.

Boar Prime at best hybrid dps. When it comes to needing to deal high damage to a signle target but also needing some wave clear in the same package, look no further than the Boar Prime. While shotguns remain hugely underrated (probably for their horrendous crit scaling and damage falloff) the boar prime has a remarkably high theoretical DPS, the best of all primary weapons in fact. Honorable Mentions: Paris Prime/Dread. The massive buffs and innate penetration allow these weapons to clear lines of high level enemies with a single shot. While the dps is below rifles and above launchers, they maintain the ability to hit a few targets at once.

Best Sidearm: the... STUG?! The stug is an annoying weapon to use and comes with an awkward polarity but it's theoretical dps is through the roof due it's innate DoT, AOE, and VERY HIGH base damage. Don't bother charging this one up, aim at a crowd and spam. Honorable Mentions: Let's face it, the Brakk might just be the best weapon in the game. But It's no longer obtainable and is owned by a select few who contributed to an event early in beta. Sorry PS4 users :(

Disagree with my list? I don't care, I just think it's fun to talk about these things.
