Tomb Raiders, What is Your Weapon of Choice?
I'm a newbie to Tomb Raider 2013 so I don't know if my weapon is the most effective one at killing enemies. I find the pistol as the most effective (I fully upgraded the pistol). I'm only at Mountain Base Stage so I don't really know which is the best.
But the first time I used the rifle, I was like shooting the 2 enemies running towards me after the blinding light (first I tried holding the fire button while aiming at the enemies but the recoil was too much, then I tried firing like 3 bullets then hold for a millisecond then firing again just to stop the recoil but still it doesn't kill the 2 assaulting enemies (i was even shooting at their heads/necks) I'm not sure if there's a glitch though, 'coz when I tried the pistol, I managed to kill the one on the left (Did I do it right or was the game looking for a QTE[shoot their legs and do finishers] that's why the 2 can't be killed?) and when the slowmo stopped I used the rifle--It took me 5-8 bullets to take 1 down, while with the pistol I only need 1 to the head (2 to the chest) and it doesn't even need to be the head.
But then I also heard many people say, the best weapon is the bow, because they claim you don't actually need to charge your shots to kill.
