Although I do really like the bubbline [bubbler whatever] for the fact it can make a shield and has very good range. It's not useful against bosses, and if you do get hit, it's reduced to nothing.

Of course I do love the Spur, and consider it the best weapon. It's very useful even just to have it out, because it does not get a reduce in levels from getting hit. It's also very very powerful and once I get it, I really only use that, unless I see another opportunity where the other guns would be better.

The fireball is also very good, I usually just run with the balls so the things I shoot, hopefully get killed before they hit me.

I only ever use the missile launcher for the hell bosses.

Blade is also very powerful and I use it a ton too. But with the Spur's extra range I prefer the Spur.

I never use the snake for some reason.

If I'm not doing a hell run its the Machine Gun, which I do like a lot. And is actually quite powerful.

It's not really the most powerful weapon in the game but it's clever and fun so I'm voting for the BUBBLES.

Plus the version of the Bubbler found in the game Gang Garrison 2 is epic.

Machine gun let's you fly, does an adequate amount of damage, and I use it the most. Certainly the missile launcher is the best for the final few boss fights, but overall I just don't really use it that much otherwise.

i never used the missile launcher the entire game because of my ocd and i kept think "OMG WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF BOOLETS"

i'm so dumb

anyway i guess the bubbler is cool, my only problem with the snake is that it takes away the fire ball, which isn't all that useful later but it's still fun

Always have to choose Machine Gun, the recoil jetpack effect is so cool. But blade comes in a close second, well, it's awesome with kings spirit and slashes flying all over the place, but the short range kinda ruins it :p

I like the Polar Star, it has character, it has personality, and it becomes BA (Spoilers) if you save Curly, and it's lonely without Curly

I think Spur is overrated a bit too much. Machine gun and Snake are pretty much just as good, with their own uniqueness/strengths/weaknesses like all other weapons.

Well the Spur is rather loved because the moment you enter last cave, your weapon levels are never the same. Same with Nemesis, useful for the level situation. Machine gun and Snake are really useful for those going for normal ending though, I love the "Flying" thing you can do with the Machine gun.

I always found Snake best for Sacred Grounds. And does anyone know why Snake is weapon no.0001 ?

Because pixel made it weapon number 1.
Sorry if I sound against you, but isn't that a bit obvious?
What I meant was, why did he make it number 1 when Polar Star should logically have been number 1? Something that goes through walls is quite advanced, and would be inappropriate for the beginning of the game.

It could have originally been the starting weapon, or maybe he was batshit insane and didn't like organization
Either way it doesn't really matter
