Prologue
Suggestion

“Beams + Absorb = free healthcare in the apocalypse.”

These 3 Beam Weapons are excellent and my favorite.

Note: RPM is "Rounds Per Minute," the fire rate, or firing speed.

"Atomic Ray" (highest RPM under the "Machine Gun" category, 801 RPM)

"Laser Gun" (600 RPM and Good Damage)

"Nemesis" (468 RPM but great damage, and this is my latest build because it's a special beam weapon and ultimate-class; it has balanced RPM and high DPS, both great for lifesteal and killing bosses without a sweat)

Beam Weapon + "Absorb" = Lifesteal, great for survival (estimated 2-5 sec = 30 HP, depending on stats, level, weapon, and weapon build). OP, because beam weapons have high RPM and have the highest chance to proc "Absorb," and compatible weapons like laser weapons are good in "Absorb" too.

Skill Tree
Better upgrade this because Beam Weapons are under the "Machine Gun" Category.

Tips

Maximize important stuff, specifics in the skill tree and weapon, and you can choose what's the best for your build too.

Dead or School Weapons
Note
I repeat, weapons with high RPM, especially beam weapons, are the best in "Absorb" (lifesteal), including compatible weapons like laser weapons, which are good in "Absorb" too, and if you're having a hard time modifying for "Absorb," choose "Kill Heal" instead, but "Absorb" is still better.

They are great in Endgame

i got a 39% thunderstrike on atomic ray... even when i increase attack speed it doesnt proc enough for me to validate it as something useful... sad..

a piercing antitank rifle is amazing tho. i need more trick plugins for that. wondering if i should killbomb, thunderstrike, magbomb or something else. have to experiment further.

antitank rifles generally have x1 bullet per magazine.

when i have a 26% ammo increase on the weapon and 2 plugins that increase ammo by 39%, the bullet per magazine becomes 3.

that seems like the maximum because that goes over 100% when you add it

39+39+26

before i got my TS weapons i had especially my sabre setup with grenade for 0 cost distance damage and drones for most of the game.

Wishlist:
attack4 trick and bullet4 trick
chainsaw or spinblade with TS
also better TS proc rates and damage. (sad that i dont have 40% TS on my lasers or throwers)

Thanks for sharing your info @Sie Kensou

(contd)
however even with that said, 39%+39% bullet still doesnt increase the mag size of graviton.

i want to find a motor blade type such as spinblade or chainsaw that has thunderstrike...
need some way to farm mod gears

i find the thunderstrike procs less than absorb.
i put them both on my laser types and gas/throwers.
Atomic ray with absorb 24% at 1% recovery procs way more than my atomic ray with 32% thunderstrike at 1182 damage.

currently i found thunderstrike rate can go up to 40% but i got that on my antitank rifle.
when i use my rifle i use Trick for quick reload amd Bullet for upgrading ammo (jp game)
(i am still farming for a second Bullet4 with Trick. or Attack4 with Trick)

also i found the fandom wiki has a bit of error wrt the Bullet plugin used on heavy guns. if you use the high numbers on heavy guns you can increase the magazine size.
i like using Plasma Cannon with Fake (currently got one at 27%) and get at least 50% Bullet increase then it goes from 2x2 to 4x2 with that added chance to not consume ammo.
upgrade crit damage for maximum benefit
