reminder the 1865 carbine outperforms literally everything within compounds (except for maybe dolchp) at 70 hunt dollars, and streamers have made multiple videos smearing it so people don't use it against them.

weapons smeared as memes/shit
>bomblance (can use bolt thrower now, improved projectiles, very common free traits now with the bears around)
>dual conversions (very accurate up to 20m, wipes trios easily, part of the "counter shotguns" niche like the carbine, wallbang spam)
>1865 carbine (140 damage with winfield firerate, very fast reload, high capacity, very clean ironsights, 2 taps arms and legs from like 50m)
>bornheim silencer (really spammable and accurate, very fast reload, the silencer actually lets you get away with some extra shots)
>rival or terminus levering with dragonbreath (rival DB is better than buckshot 2tap-wise, terminus is the same but has the burning aswell, burns downed hunters to 25health if they get revived at all, extremely good in boss compounds)
>sparks pistol (basically the only pocket sniper now, reload speed has been buffed multiple times, does 149 dmg, high drop-range)
