It would be fun to discuss what combination of weapons players carry around.
What kind of weapons are must-haves?
How many weapons do you set as a limit?
What kinds and amounts of throwables do you carry? Including gas tanks, radios, mines etc.
Do you go for an all-round or a specialized setup?
Share your best weapons combo! 
At the moment, I personally carry around this:
PanservƤrnsgevƤr 90 rifle + 6-12 scope.
Ćlgstudsare rifle + 4-8 scope + silencer.
AutomatgevƤr 5 assault rifle + 2x ACOG + barrel extension.
AI-76 assault rifle + silencer.
Sjƶqvist Semi-Auto shotgun + choke.
.44 Magnus revolver + compensator.
GranatgevƤr m/49.
10 handgrenades.
5 EMP cells.
5 flares.
5 fireworks.
2 gas tanks.
1 boomblaster.
30 medkits.
10+ adrenaline shots.
Lockpicks.
ā¦
Current main character and inventory.
Class 3 GranatgevƤr m/49
Class 5 M/46 K-pist SMG + SMG Barrel Extension, Extended Magazine, 2x ACOG
Class 5 Sjƶkvist Semi-auto + Choke
@Zesiir I know Iām carrying way too many guns, and Iām currently working out which ones to keep.
Sjƶqvist speaks for itself. Works well against anything!
GranatgevƤr m/49 also seems like a must-have.
I find it really hard to let go of a sniper rifle, so Iām going to keep one of them.
So, how do I decide whether to use an assault rifle or an smg?
For the assault rifles:
The AI-76 is a Machine-killer, and is great when you want to just run and gun. And itās ammo is common. The AutomatgevƤr 5 on the other hand feels like a more precise weapon; you can mount a scope on it and lengthen the barrel turning it into a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) and itās really good for long shots.
The SMGās are more about dishing out large amounts of bullets the quickest, and there the HP5 wins. Itās got an extremely high rate of fire and with a sound suppressor, extended mag and ACOG itās a stealthy killer. Great for dispatching weaker enemies. The Kpist on the other hand is more slower-firing but easier to control.
Itās all up to how you play, really 
Not anywhere near endgame yet (only unlocked my third command bunker yesterday), but right now I carry:
As far as consumables, I used to carry a gas tank or two regularly, until the inventory slot cost of using them to destroy relay beacons started to outweigh the cost of a half dozen 7.62 rounds to do the same thing. Now, I mostly just carry grenades, flares, and medkits (and a stack of lock picks).
@ahferroin7 Me neither. Iām lvl. 18, and have completed the Archipelago, South Coast and Farmlands regions. Just got started on Mountains and cleared out Uttern yesterday.
Iām finding enough .50 BMG ammo now to get rid of the .270 if I want to, but you canāt silence the .50, and a silenced .270 is nice for taking out a pack of Runners at medium-long range. Itās really hard to decide upon one of them. (BTW, one shot of .50 BMG takes out a relay beacon. 
)
I guess at this point, Iām finding about 30% less 5,56 ammo, compared to 7,62. I think Iāll settle for the AI-76 and leave the AK5 for now.
I have both Klaucke and Magnus handguns, and both are 5 crowns. I was hoping the .44 Magnus would feel more powerful, but it doesnāt. It wonāt destroy a runner in 1 shot unless you hit the fuel tank, and itās slow to use, so Iāll switch back to the Klaucke 17, I think.
I keep dragging those gas tanks around, but rarely use them anymore. Before the may update i seem to remember that just 1 well placed gas tank would kill a prototype Harvester or a pack of military Hunters. That doesnāt seem to work anymore, so I should just drop themā¦
Outdoors my combo is the .270 and Ak4/Ak5 depending on my ammo inventory. In a bunker I prefer Shotgun and smg. I have a 50 cal but I save that for long distance attacks on tanks and hunters. And rocket launcher for closer attacks on big machines. All weapon are 5 star except hunting rifle and smg. Almost nerver use my side arm.
AG5 + 1-4x(+IR) + extended mag + extended barrel
.270 + 6-12x(+IR) + suppressor
HP5 + extended mag + compensator
.50 + 6-12x(+IR) + extended mag
Klaucke + extended mag + suppressor
My primary is usually HP5, and the rest is at the secondary slot depending on situation.
Klaucke is barely used by me.
I have no idea where you find all that ammunition. I have to spend an hour after every engagement retracing my steps to every safe āSafe Houseā and end up with 35 rounds for my .270, 25 buckshot, 35 birdshot, 8 solid slugs (which donāt seem to work much better than buckshot), 200 9mm smg, 6 dual purpose and 220 7.62. With that I have to take on every thing I find going forward. Fighting tanks of any kind is more or less out of the question, since I have to finish them off with a pistol.
Now that they all respawn shiny and new every time you reboot, you must finish them off if you take them on at all.
I am on the South Coast.
Iāve never seen a shotgun choke. I even saw someone on Youtube find one lying on a shelf, but it wasnāt there when I was there, or when I went back.
Take the Salvage perk, youāll find a lot more ammo in boxes and on enemies. Iām pretty sure it applies to explosives as well, yesterday I walked out of the Hermelinen Bunker with 12 landmines and 15 grenades.
Later I also killed a Class 2 Tank that dropped a whopping 32 HEDP rounds.
You canāt just buy it! You have to earn it. There are some things I wish I hadnāt bought, but they seemed a good idea at the time - āFiring from the hipā cost me two hard-won skill points and I hit nothing from the hip, even though I am used to fighting that way in Half-Life. The binoculars cost me two points and half the time it canāt see the machine to identify it until I am so close that i can see, and range is impossible to judge, but given my time over, i wouldnāt bother - I don;t even carry binos any more - use my rifle scope.
So thereās four points gone - Iāve just bought another line on my storage, giving me four lines. I still havenāt manage to buy lock-picking, which is next, but I canāt get to that without buying, is it, gas resistance (which I donāt presently need)? So Iāll be fighting for several days/weeks to get to lock picks and then I might look for Salvage, which is no doubt two or three points to get to. I shanāt be there for weeks. In the meantime I have what I listed. I can see how much easier it would be with what youāve loaded out with!
Until then, keeping on topic and all; I recommend a good primary weapon like the AI-76 (ammo for it is pretty common after all), the standard 12G Pump-action for weaker enemies, and any sidearm of your choosing. Donāt worry about taking enemies head-on, wage guerilla war against the Machines at your own pace until you feel badass enough to take on Tanks single-handedly.
use the kpist as backup , and the ak47 as i get lots of ammo for it from hunters, glock without silencer as sidearm , and shotgun as backup also, this is a good combo for close range , i let my coop friend do the long range shots if he can kill them before i have gone rambo at them
My āprimaryā weapons are:
Also using the Ćlgstudsare a lot; silencer, 6-12 scope, OPV+IR, both SP and AP.
Got rid of my beloved MĆ¼ller (to get room with more ammo for the other guns) and just got a .44 Magnus a side arm. This is armed with a silencer, handgun scope (1-4 I believe) and OPV+NV.
I also have a PansarvƤrnsgevƤr equipped with a 8-16 scope, OPV+IR and ext mag.
On top of that Iām packinā a GranatgevƤr.
I might drop the .50 cal in a near future, hardly ever use it (and I could surely use the space). Works just as well with the Sjƶqvist. And since it has the long range scope I have used it as a sniper but for those occasions I have the .270, soā¦
Currently havenāt found any SPECIAL tier weapons yet, but almost all of them are EXCEPTIONAL. Goal is to put a OPV+IR+NV on all scopes and bino and to put an extension on the AG 5 instead of the silencer.
Other than that I try to have as many flares and/or sticky flares, grandes and gas canisters or fuel cells as I possibly can (though it canāt be that much with all the ammo I haveā¦) 
I only recently got the .50 cal, but Iāve found it to be somewhat better at dealing with big enemies (and you can one-shot relay beacons with it, and I think prototype hunters too). Takes fewer shots to destroy tank components than the .270 does (less than 1/3 the number of shots usually). Itās also the only thing that can mount the 8-16 scope, which is kind of a big deal since being fully scoped in with that seems to give you near perfect accuracy (as far as I can tell, higher magnification increases your accuracy in-game, yet another thing the devs got wrong (and could have easily researched to get right)).
I personally take an AR (preferably the auto-5), a shotgun, and the .270 sniper. As far as attachments I mostly use the highest rarity stuff I find. I find the rocket cheap to use personally. I like the extra challenge of taking things down with their weak points.
I usually carry a bunch of flares but I prefer fireworks if I can find them (I just find about 10x as many flares as I do fireworks). The only explosives I carry are grenades but I do occassionally pick up a gas tank + radio combo for dishing out a large amount of damage before the fight begins. Like against a patrol of hunters (my arch nemesis).
I like the HP5 but I find itās lack of damage compared to an AR not worth the space or the bullets. They are fun to use but it takes way too many bullets to kill anything with it personally.
Yeah, I really donāt want get rid of the .50 but one has to prioritize Wonāt just drop it though, Iām gonna put it in one of my other characters inventory 
My loadout is a bit mixed up at the moment, there are weapons I am not really using but have loads of ammo for so I dont want to drop them. Since reading posts on this forum I located the Exception AI-76 which I think Xezr wrote about (appologies if it was someone else) which I find is a really mean weapon, drops them like flies.
I prefer the Exceptional Auto 4 which is more powerful, more stable, and more accurate, also with a slightly slower rate of fire which means that they die more cheaply. I only found it yesterday, but thought about it all night, like a kid with a new toyā¦
Is there an Auto 4 five crowns anywhere in the game?
