I'm level 46... and I've noticed with the recent nerfs... other than the sniper rifle... without a ghillie suit all the guns except for the shotgun are useless however the sniper rifle is still significantly the best gun to use.
I have a SR25, fatman, and the shotgun (can't remember the name holds 20 rounds).
With the recent nerfs to precision and uranium. Without a ghillie suit, all guns are pretty much crap except for the shotgun relying on the 15 something extra damage per shot on uranium from the bonus damage.
The fatman is a level 40 machine gun and is LITERALLY useless without a ghillie suit. Since no active skills are really useful at its 5 damage per shot... all shots do 1 damage.
The shotgun is a level 42(43?) gun and is weak without a ghillie suit. Uranium's bonus damage increases the damage by like 10-15 per shot because of the +1 damage. However the 14 base damage at level 7... only gives one point of damage.
The sniper rifle is a level 25 gun and with all the nerfs, does more damage than all the higher level guns.
If the goal was to get more players to melee, you did it. I've seen 3 level 40+ people in the last day switch to melee.
The simple build for melee to make it completely unstoppable is very simple.
You only need 5 active skills. Healing Aura, Power of will, Beserk, Rage strike, Earthslam. With the first 3 skills... you can make it so the damage you take is easily negated.
