I'm starting to go Gunner mode for a different playstyle compared to my usual swords only playstyle and I need to know what guns to get first.
Right now the guns I have are:
Heavy Pulsar Lvl 5 (soon to be a Radiant Pulsar but don't have the Alchemy Orbs yet) felt like taking normal damage pulsar cause I didn't want to go with the large crowd of Polaris users.
Cryotech Alchemer Lvl 5 (again, as with Pulsar, don't have Orbs yet)
Silversix Lvl 5
Toxic Catalyser Lvl 4 (Orbs)
Shadowtech Alchemer Lvl 1 (Just made it)
Strike Needle Lvl 8
Advice on what armour to get would be nice too, been thinking of getting Namless Set but only got the Gunslinger set recently so haven't heated it much.
Also working on getting another Pulsar for Polaris at some point.
Starting to go Gunner mode, what items to get first?
@Bopp Ok thanks
Just forget normal damage, really. With one gun of each damage type you can dish out punishment to everything you run into. Although, a pulsar isn't bad if you need a normal damage weapons. Good general support weapon with the knockback.
Patience is the first item to get because the Guntastrophe is coming. Then get a Blitz Needle.
@Usevnsevnsixfivfor
Please - please - don't call it Guntastrophe. Firstly, that's terrible grammar law-breaking, secondly, how do you pronounce that, and thirdly, I am totally hyped for it.
For maximum kill power it's Blitz, Umbra Driver and Nova Driver.
At least until the update.
Shoulda kept pulsar at 2 str. The update is coming a week or so.And as Alphacommando said, Specialization>Generalization.
@Shotjeer
By that logic the House of Representatives > Senate.
Don't bother giving me that confused look.
@Alphacommando
I can call it whatever I want. Just like the battle sprite patch, I call it the Gigapatch. Not everybody titles it the same.
And say it with me: Gun-tast-ro-phe. Just like the Kataclysmic event saying Katastrophe somewhere.
once the gunner update comes im going to craft a nitronome for giggles
"I can do whatever I want free country #yolo"
Sure you can, but Guntastrophe is a grammatical monster. Katastrophe was a play on words on Catastrophe and it made perfect sense grammatically. Gunstastrophe makes me want to strange someone.
Waitt for DHAH GUNSTATROPHE :D (I really love that word :))
Why would it even be a catastrophe? There will be 24 new guns, mechanic changes, and balance changes. That's friggin' great.
But.. Krakky... what about internal ricochets? What if we need to say goodbye to them? ;~; (Runs away crying)
I don't mind if that was the case, or if Brandishes would get a hit limit as long as Shard bombs still have their invincitinks.
I just lve the word.

/e Wonders how long it took to type that.
Maybe ten seconds. Ctrl+V is a terrible thing.
Is that so? Just where do you think society would be today if Ctrl+V had not been invented?

Have you read the Gunslinger Guide on the wiki? That's one place to start.
Players ask questions like this very frequently. Try a search like this: gunner loadout site:forums.spiralknights.com.
The basic idea is just like swords: You want piercing, elemental, and shadow guns, deployed against the right monsters to optimize damage. You want damage bonus from armor/trinkets/sprite, because damage bonus UVs apply to only one monster family, never including Vanaduke or PvP. So Shadowsun is popular. Chaos is even more powerful, if you can handle the terrible defense (through skill, UVs, etc.).
