    I usually use an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pneumatic weapon for stealth. But now that I'm playing on Ranger Hardcore I can only have two weapons so instead of the pneumatic I use silencer on my assault rifle :)

    Uhm, how can you carry 3 weapons? I can only carry two. Is it perhaps bound to the difficulty? I'm playing at Ranger mode.

    Yeah, on the Ranger difficulties you can only have 2. The others allow you 3, but I think one has to be a pistol.

    1. Kalash with extended mag. I just really like the look and feel of the rifle, especially in metro, it just fits and helps me get into character.

    2. The valve with extended mag, laser sight, and reflex sights. Another fav of mine, i have beat the game once and long range weapons were not really needed, hence the reflex sights. This gun makes, imo a great mid-range killing machine. Also the reload animation kicks so much ass.

    I wish i could also carry a pistol in ranger mode as a third weapon as opposed to no 3rd at all, but it is what it is. Perhaps mods to the rescue?

    Right now I'm rolling with:

    Silenced VSV with lazer(no scopes) + Saiga with lazer and drum magazine+ Valve with lazer andextended mag.

    I like my iron sights.

    I loved the new shambler until I got the Saiga.

    Loved the new feel of the bastard but got a VSV, its just so much sexier.

    Loving the Valve! Very powerful!:p

    Somewhat boring for me;

    AKSU with silencer and iron sight.
    Then call me old fashioned with my Duplet double-barreled shotgun!

    No knife? :twitch:

    Playing on normal difficulty (IDK if the PS3 version even has Ranger, didn't finish my 1st playthrough yet), so 3 weapon slots.

    On "Sundown" level, currently have:

    Valve with IR scope and flash hider - great for sniping unsuspecting bastards. (IR scope, mounted on anything, is also great for scouting in general - I can see you, you can't see me...)
    4-barrel shotgun with spring-loaded stock - for getting up close & personal.
    Automatic shotgun with laser and extended stock - for midrange mayhem.

    This keeps the ammo pile down to only 2 types (sniper shells & shot shells), and the long-distance aspect of the Valve pretty much eliminates the need for silent weapons like the Tihar (and their 3rd type of ammo).

    Early Game
    1. Revolver with stock, silencer, and reflex sight.
    2. Duplet with extended barrel.
    3. Bastard with suppressor.

    Mid Game
    1. Lolife with suppressor, stock, and reflex sight.
    2. Shambler with extended barrel and laser light.
    3. Bastard with IR scope, laser light and suppressor.


    End Game
    1. Lolife with stock, suppressor, laser light, reflex sight, and extended mag.
    2. Saiga-12 with reflex sight and drum mag.
    3. Bastard with reinforced stock, IR scope, laser light and suppressor.

    Bastard run was one of the last things I did in 2033 (couple with my first Hardcore Ranger run... eek). I just fell in love with the thing. Next thing I do is going to be a Ranger Normal, no-kill run. So basically all I'm going to use is a silenced assault rifle of some sort and a shotgun for ze mutants.

    Quick question, what exactly does the reinforced barrel/cooling jacket on the bastard do? I'm thinking it reduces overheating, but I don't want to waste the ammo to test it out. Yes, I know I can just reload... but wasting so much ammo seems to go against the spirit of the setting :p
