Ranged Weapons:

Long Gun

  • Flexibility is key. Any long gun you feel comfortable using works. The effectiveness comes from your choice of mods and mutators, not just the weapon itself.

Handgun

  •  Enigma is a top choice. It's effective for its area damage and continuous shock damage, ideal for taking down groups of enemies efficiently.

Alternative Handguns

  •  Hellfire and Nebula are solid picks. They're similar to Enigma in dealing elemental damage and applying status effects but are slightly less effective against large groups of enemies.

Optimizing Weapon Mods and Mutators:

Mod #1:

  • Choose between Hot Shot or Corrosive Rounds. Both add elemental effects to your bullets, enhancing damage over time. The best choice depends on your play style and the enemies you're facing.

Rings

  • Band of the Fanatic boosts the damage of your status effects. While it shortens the duration, the Ritualist's innate perks and other equipment can offset this downside.
