Ra Ult Weapons

[Weaponslash]

First of all i looked at the guides and i actually know all the uber ra weapons,but i want your opinion on which are the most usefull (my brother wants to know)tell me!

[FattyMcGee]

it's really tough to answer that question, because different RA weapons would be better/safer/kill faster in different situations. Here is my opinion though:

-Frozen shooter: this is the safest gun around, period. It's really good for lower level characters since it has a decent ATP boost as well. You can get through any part of the game with this weapon with relative ease, just because of it's insane special. So it's easy to use and effective, but doesn't kill nearly as fast as say...

-Yas 9000M: This is my favorite mechgun, and I would say the MOST effective for a single enemy. Yes, it's not the most powerful mechgun (red mechguns barely beat it, and GuldMilla has about 100 more power), but that's not what makes it the best. The best thing about it is it has rifle range, but it's a mechgun! So, you can punish enemies with a flurry of mechgun attacks from a loooong ways away, making it safer and also faster (since you don't have to walk toward enemies/have them walk toward you). However, if you've got more than one single enemy...

-Spread Needle: This is the most effective weapon for multiple groups (discounting S-rank needles). The ATP may not look like anything, but it attacks with rifle speed which makes it put out more dmg/sec than any other spread weapon. Also, it's special (paralysis) is SO useful! it doesn't hit nearly as often as say, the frozen shooter, but still it can paralyze multiple enemies at a time, and being able to stop whole hordes of enemies coming at you at once is an invaluable tool.

So anyway, those are my 3 choices. I keep all 3 on my RAmar, and use them each in different situations. But if you just need one to start out with, get the Frozen Shooter first; it'll make going through the rest of the game a breeze, and it's easiest to find out of the 3!

My Ramarl and Racaseal use the 3 Things a ranger could ever need as the post above says.

Needle
Frozen Shooter
Yas9ks

Not much can deal with that http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif The Ranger "triforce"



Edit; Yas6k?

*shakes sleepiness from brain*

In terms of overall usefullness, there are several godly RAnger weapons. Generally a combination of a Mechgun, a Rifle, and a Needle/Shot.

Mechguns:
~Yasminkov9000M
~Red Mechguns
~Guld Milla (if you can find one x_x)

Rifle:
~Frozen Shooter
~Snow Queen

Needle/Shot
~Spread/S-Rank Needle
~S-Rank Shot

Those are amoung the most useful RAnger weapons, there are others can have their uses, but these are the creme de la creme.

[Auracom]

The thing is I don't think rangers should only use just one weapon. I usually use Yas9000M with a snowqueen or a frozenshooter. But if you wanna deal hardcore damage... Berserk Vulcans. XD Guld Milla is always a hardcore mech.

Directions to use Ranger (MegamanX style)
1. 1st, equip rifle known as "Frozen Shooter". Then, fire at enemy target with Extra Attack feature.
2. If hit confirmed, pull up the Weapon Equipment List by holding down R and pressing X (for gamecube version).
3. Then, equip the Yasminkov 9000M.
4. Fire at it fiercly (in this order):
(1) Standard Attack
(2) Heavy Attack
(3) Heavy Attack
5. If target remains, repeat process.
6. If target becomes out of frozen state, switch back to frozen shooter through the Weapon Equipment List, and use Extra attack function.
7. Repeat killing process.

Note: If surrounded by overwhelming forces, equip the "Spread Needle" and fire using Standard, Heavy, then Heavy again.

Yea.... ofcourse... um, it was my plan from the beginning http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Sayara]

Well since some of us RAs lack these uber things... :/

Bah. I'll say what i find useful.

1. Frozen Shooter, Blah You know the drill.
2. A Mech. Not just the Yashy 9 (its nice...) but any will do.
3. A Justy Rifle or a Weapon with Demon/Devil Effect. Since You cant imagine how helpful it is to lower a big baddie like a Indi Belra's HP by 1/2 of down to a 1/4.

Now here is where i tend differently.
Rangers have a good attack power. And godly ATA. So they can use nice HU weapons like Sabers, Slicers and Partisans (yesh. But not the Rare 9 Starred and above) So instead of the slow Shots i'd use a Partisan to dish out multi targets. And if yer a Ramarl or Ramar... a Mind Gun/Double Saber is nice to recover TP if your being a TP Slave.

But thats my take on the dice.

[Giezus]

I dont know too much about good ranger weapons (can only tell you about FS, and some others my friend got off a duper). I would go for FS since its easier to get (pipe off a Hildetorr). Plus ranger werent ment for power, they were ment for support, so a FS is perfect (you freeze, the hunter does the dmg to kill it). I would also suggest finding any kind of Mechguns with good hit % (even if its Reapeater or Vulcan) mainly for boss fights, but also because if you have some decent S/D then mechs can do some serius damage to anything.

[cHaOsMaZtA]

Definetly pick up a Frozen Shooter, seeing as it is easily pipeable. Very useful for freezing annoying enemies. If your ATA is high enough, the special will hardly ever miss on the second shot of the combo, and it will hit most of the time on the first.

Spread Needle, in my opinion, is the only shot-type that a RA should ever use. It shoots as fast as a rifle, it has sieze special, and it is quite findable. I suppose a S-Rank Needle and S-Rank shot are just as good also (customizable special), but I can't get those (I'm offline http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif)

Now Yas9000 is the only weapon I don't have out of these three, and I hear it's a pain in the arse to get. But having a mechgun with rifle range sounds pretty seksi to me http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif .

[darthsaber9x9]

gah, the spread needle is doing my head in. IT's an easy find, but I can't find it! Ive killed more than my fair share of merlans by now.

And i wish I hadnt waited till lv 128 to pick up a frozen shooter. It would have made my progress a hell of a lot easier. Its a godsens in ULT seabed and in the ruins, it allows me to pick off dark gunners with ease. And in the caves it allows me to murder pan arms as a whole.

[Genoa]

I waited till 100 something for my FS. I heard about it from psow, then made my whitill RAmar go from hard to ultimate in 2 days, pipe (1st day piping... 2nd hour) on phone with friend, he told me "hold on, my moms callin me... Yah mom????" Me: OMFG!!! It's HILDETORR!!! DUDE......(Dekao)!!! Where the f*** did you GO!!!!!! Him: "what, what happend???" Me: HILDETOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...... *kills* hehe, red box http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.... *walks up* ?SPECIAL WEAPON!!!" Him:..... I hate you."

[Fossil]

The Frozen Shooter is only really useful for lower leveled rangers that need it for the tougher levels. At higher levels Frozen Shooter becomes pointless imo. I can solo anything without it. I haven't used one in half a year with my RAmar actually.

My vote went to Spread Needle. Yas9k and Guld Milla would tie. Until I actually use both and then really decide. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Garm]

Rifle: FS if you cant kill em before they reach you or a nice hit yas3k (so even a low lvl ranger can do nice damage) or a high hit justy (12.5% hp left in one combo)
Spread: SN if you have enpough ata you can paralyse almost anything (no machines) and theyre dead before you know it.
RA's dont need mechs, just for pure fun

[ADUCKI-Sempai]

I like Snow Queen better than Frozen Shooter.

Anyway, my favorite is the spread needle. Was hell to get but well worth it for any ranger. Its awsome, my ranger feels way weaker without it.

[Genoa]

Seeing the title says ultimate ranger weapons, that technically means the best weapons for a ranger... right???

If so, then i'd carry a nice melee weapon. As someone said before, RA's have decent ATP and killer ATA. I recommend a weapon that deals a great amount of damage/total damage. Even if the Accuracy of the weapon is poor, the Ranger can make up for it with it's base ATA.

(in my opinion)
The best melee weapons for rangers would be:
Monkey King Bar/Twin Brand
God Hand
Red Saber
Soul Eater (the berserk ability is great, but this is for RAmar/RAmarls primarly because they can recover there HP without using items/Leilla PB)

[Fossil]

No way, my favorite weapons for meleeing with my RAmar are...

Srank Twin(Twin Blaze when I get one)
MKB
Yamigarasu
God Hand(pure powa http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif)
Charge Gungnir
Spirit/Berserk Diska
Db's sword 75
And something else but me forgets http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Notice you said favorite weapons (favorite would mean your liking to the weapon. Rather that be looks or stats, we don't know)

I listed MKB (Monkey King Bar)
(now that I think about it) I add Rainbow Baton to that list.
I do not agree with DB's Sword. I would recommend Red Saber over it any day.
God Hand is really good, and I also listed that.
And I didn't put Yamigarasu because it's a Katana. I have Oritiagito and I do not use it because its too slow for me. Sure, it's kewl and all, but I only use it for fun.
Again, we were discussing weapons according to battle tactics, not personal favorites.

ooo ot comes close i use the spread needle and frozen shooter with 2 yas 9000 and 7000. i can go on and on about the benifets. just pm me for the deatails.

[shingo]

u would say the justy instead fs because its abillty halves enemy hp and that can be useful in ult. at least thats what i think.
