OP Weapons?

    I've seen the Starbounders on Youtube and most seem to have incredibly overpowered weapons. I'm looking specifically at guns since I'm good on melee. The guns I can craft don't fit my needs, as they're all underpowered for my level. Has anybody found any decent guns on planets? If so, what are the coordinates? (I use the stable version!)

    Keep in mind that I don't have the heat protection gear yet, thx!

    I think you can only get the best weapons from "Extreme" threat level planets, which require heat protection gear.

    Oh, ok. I'll get right to that boss fight!
    Thx anyway.

    Also keep in mind that in general, the slower guns with fewer, stronger projectiles (sniper rifles, pistols, grenade launchers, rocket launchers) tend to be more powerful than the faster guns (machinepistols, assault rifles, shotguns).

    Dang, that boss is annoying...
    After you learn his attacks however, he's fine.

    Keep in mind, a lot of people have probably ported over weapons from Lvl10 planets in the Koala versions, which had much higher stats than is currently possible in Giraffe.

    Weapon drops automatically scale based on the level of the planet

    Unless something has changed very recently, this is not possible.

    Well, they're old Youtube videos, so they could very well BE Koala videos.

    Claw gloves are most op melee, hands down. Chakram and boomerangs are good close range.

    As far as guns? I like the guns with more capability than power. If I can continuously knockback with my shotgun( grenade launcher secondary) and kill in 5 sshots without blowing out my energy,I'd much rather that than a rocket launcher that insta kills my enemy and energy pool..

    I think alot of it depends on playstyle. I'm not on nightly, I'm using the stable glad giraffe and I'm just using molten boomerang with neo chakram back-up, and for big battles I go for clawgloves for the constant stall, I can kill 5 people at once and never take a hit or use any energy if they stack up for my claw gloves. I feel like the legendary crafted items are much stronger than any gun, they just don't have as much range.

    The actual guns I do have are a sniper rifle that is ultra slow but does 44 dps and has mark target, for those pesky flying critters. And a homing rocket launcher for giggles!
