Ok so I have been a Resident Evil kick lately if you didn't already guess from my earlier thread and well, I am now replaying the game which changed the series as we know it RE4 and I feel like discussing the loadout. So here we have the obligatory attache picture of my loadout.
Here we go.
Pistols
For me there can be only one choice here and that is the Red9, the power and accuracy of thing when the stock is installed top everything. I'll take that anyday over increased rate of fire, higher critical chances or insanely huge magazines. I like to take my time line up each shot and make them count.
Rifles
Bolt Action Rifle. The bolt action rifle cycling animations rules and so does the reload animation I never get tired of it, it is still my favourite reload animation to this day. That and the power of this weapon makes it my choice every time.
Magums
Broken Butterly. The whole point of a magnum is firepower so I will take this over the Killer7 every damn day. The handcannon is almost unusable because ammo is so rare for it until you upgrade it, even then it has massive recoil, so if you miss it can take a while before you can line up a second, which leaves the Broken Butterfly as the natural choice.
Shotguns
Riot Gun. This one is a personal choice, in practical terms the Striker is better, but I just prefer the look and feel of the Riot Gun.
Special weapons
Chicago Typerwriter. The infinite launcher is more powerful but because of the recoil and having to line up a shot with the scope it is awkward, it's also by far one of the easiest way to get Leon and or Ashley killed due to the splash if the enemy or walls are too close when firing. The Chicago Typewriter can easily cut a large crowd or a boss down to size in seconds and is far more controllable.
Regarding the TMP, I hate this weapon and regard it as a waste of inventory space, so far I have never needed to use it in the main campaign, even on a fresh run with just the default weapons and I plan on keeping it that way. The only time I use the TMP is when playing the mercenaries or Ada's gameplay and I have no other choice.
I also ignore the mine thrower as well.
Right, ERA, your turn, get in here and post your loadouts.
