I'm actually fine with the repetition and the need to keep exploring to build up a good arsenal. I feel like I've got a pretty good weapon collection, but wonder if I can do better. What's the best guy you've found? Where'd you find it?
Right now I've got a Predator silenced sniper (quiet but not no high-powered scope, and not very powerful), a silenced stinger, and a silenced bushman. (I like using stealth on the outposts but realize I might have to switch things up when I finally make a real run on the finale).
I started out with a machine gun from the hostage taker at the bottom of the tower and a handgun because they were easily found in the beginning. Used that for quiet some time until I finally found tapirs to upgrade my weapon holster. Then my set up started to change.Originally Posted by SkullyNYC Go to original post
Used a recursive bow for hunting, found it south from the starting point, in a cave along the river (it has a ? on it). The machine gun got switched for a Bushman, found in a cave south of Rajgad gulag (it has a ? on it). The handgun got replaces with a side arm grenade launcher, found at the weapons outpost on the top left side of the map.
I got a Predator too, found it at the bottom of the map, in a high up house on the right side of the waterfall where the river ends up (it has a ? on it).
I got a Z93 as well to take out any heavies, found that after taking one of the outposts that had a sniper. When I went for the extraction I first took Rajgad gulag to switch my Predator for a Buzzsaw.
The weapons outpost on the road south of Rajgad gulag also has a pretty heavy, signature machine gun although I don't remember exactly which one.
A thing to note with signature weapons found in the wild is that they switch up with their regular versions. So you might need a couple play throughs to find the signature version. The weapons in the outposts do stay the same. I also read that someone found the Bushman at Rajgad gulag too.
The only silenced sniper rifle in Escape is the Predator. The most powerful is the Z93 (50 caliber) and is always found at the Jalendu Temple, 2nd floor. As far as find them elsewhere, it's a lottery. Only behind red doors do the powerful weapons stay the same.Originally Posted by MAD52 Go to original post
The very best is the Buzzsaw (found in safe room of Gulag). After you get that you can take out anything, even helicopters. The Predator is nice for shooting our alarms (no permanent location). The M79 for blowing things up with an added advantage of being one handed (can be used from Buzzer). That's in the safe room of Bhirabata outpost. As far as the 4th slot goes, it might be nice to have a silenced something. I use a Auto-Cross until I have all my killable skins, because of double credit. Then I can trade it for Bushman or Shredder for close silent work. With the Buzzsaw and Predator it takes me no longer than 1 minute to liberate any outpost or fortress. Shot the alarms and walk through with the Buzzsaw.Originally Posted by SkullyNYC Go to original post
