I have been planning to get an elemental gun to possibly replace my WRH in a few loadouts
however, I have a lot im already thinking about at the moment, and I feel like some people might have the same question, so this could be a reference post to those people, so im going to leave this up to you guys to help decide on the best elemental handgun to replace a WRH
tl; dr: what elemental gun is a good one to swap a rocket hammer for
(p.s. I already own an omega tortofist, any discussion about it is appreciated, but not helpful)
WRH is pretty different from every gun. For example, it works best in extremely close contact with the enemy. Tortofists have a little bit of the same movement dynamic. Other than those, I don't see any gun playing the same role.
So are you really just asking for recommendations of elemental guns? If so, then maybe tell us whether you want damage, status-spreading, crowd-control, etc. Otherwise this thread will just rehash the same discussion as always.
