Poll: Favorite/Most Efficient Weapon in Unreal Tournament

I just finished playing a marathon UT session on my brand-new Kyro II graphics card. So I was wondering, what is your favorite weapon in UT? Not just the weapon you think looks the best, but the one you're the best/most efficient with.

For me, personally, it's the sniper rifle. Gotta love them head shots.

If you're any good, you're effective with at least most of the weapons, and even more effective with combinations of them.
 
the problem w/ the rocket launcher is the slow reload time and on some levels if you don't got the speed you'll lose
 
Killbat: Yeah, I know that all good players have to deal with the weapons that they have on hand and thus have to be effective with more than one kind of weapon. But I want to know which weapon you are the most effective with. 😉

So far its a three-way tie between the sniper rifle, the double enforcers, and the flak cannon. Keep those votes coming guys!

Flak cannon is good most of the time

But Sniper rifle, 1/4 - 1/2 zoom while running around is kinda sweet.
 
Flak Cannon. But Redeemer is MOST efficient if 1.) You can get the damn thing. 2.) The server allows it to spawn. 3.) Can pull off a more than 4 to 1 Kamikaze in a tight space :Q.
 
dual enforcers are underrated but most deadly. still my most favorite is the flak cannon. spray pellets at close range and flak cannon grenade for nailing people at longer ranges, especially if they're hiding on a ledge above you and you can't see them. just lob that flak grenade and it just might nail them.

Whoa, this poll doesn't have the translocator! Don't you guys know how effective telefragging is!?! You kill anything in one hit, regardless of whether your opponent has shields, armor, or whatnot. Granted it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but I think the translocator rocks! For "conventional" weapons, I'd have to go with the Sniper Rifle and Plasma Gun. Zooming is for newbies, if you can snipe without zooming then you've got sniping down to a science!

Killbat got this thread down, you can't win in UT with only one weapon... unless you have opponents that don't have a mouse 😉
 
Sniper rifle on levels that have a decent sniping spot (i.e. not too easy to sneak up on me) I'm deadly. Don't need zoom either. But for most levels, I like dual enforcers. Not the same rate of fire as the chain gun, but the bullets have much more impact and damage potential. Cool thread!
 
The best weapon overall (by far) is the chaingun. It's the only weapon that offers instant impact bullets at high rate of fire, plus it's also effective at any range.
 
yes, the minigun is perhaps the most versatile weapon, it works well in almost every level. i've found the the rocket launcher and flak cannon to be very useful on maps with narrow hallways (esp the rocket launcher's secondary fire).

i also like the shock rifle b/c you can combine the primary and secondary attacks into a single deadly move. if you launch the ball shot, then fire at it with the beam, it will cause the ball to explode with a force = 2-3 rockets. if done correctly, your opponent will be reduced to a pile of smoldering gibs. you can even take out multiple players at a time with this move.
 
brinstar117: Doh! I don't believe I forgot telefragging. Oh well, I updated the poll to include that as well.

stonerdave: You know, I knew about that shooting the ball with the laser thing, but I apparently forgot. I'll have to fire up UT when I get home and try that move out.

Yeah, I don't like to zoom either. The most I'll do is like 1.5-2.0x because otherwise you trade too much of your peripheral vision. Sometimes it's necessary though to make sure you're accurate though, especially when you're playing CTF and you're tracking the guy carrying your flag!

Nick
 
I'll have to go with the sniper rifle for UT. Not for sniping all the time, but for pure assault. Most players die from 2-3 hits and its completely accurate all the time. When you can shoot that gun without a zoom, its quite deadly. Only problem is lack of ammo on most levels.
