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.
