Most of the time I find myself just stickin' with modded out base models. The absent mod slots and "damned if you do, damned if you don't" game balance approach for iconics seems a bit ill conceived, and frustrating. What say ya'll?

Shotgun, Malorian and an Assault rifle… thats where I sit.
I just shove the others in the stash or play around with load outs for fun.
Some varieties have the best weapons as iconics. Throwing weapons and especially shotguns. The drzerter shotgun is absolutely amazing with the right build, beats any and all generics by a wide margin.
Yeah…taking mod slots away from iconics made them kinda pointless rewards for most people unless they just fit ur build and play style that particular run. It’s not like before where they could be treated like normal guns of their type with the added bonus of a legendary affect.
They nerfed a bunch of stuff, and making base weapons unmoddable if they’ve already been modded, then adding X-Mod weapons and calling them iconics is really lame. They’re literally just pre-2.0 base models with different visuals, and some slight changes. Not being able to craft base weapons to 5+ or 5++ is what pisses me off.
And don’t even get me started on what they did to Johnny’s Malorian.
After they nerfed vanilla weapon mod slots and weapon mods, i’ve since said fck it and used game mods instead.
•Enhanced Craft(adds custom functions to weapons),
•Unlock Weapon Upgrade(upgrades your non iconics, and can also make them iconics if you upgrade passed T5++),
•Cracked Out Weapon mods(adds different iconic traits to any weapon in the form of weapon mods)
•Add me 2 slots(adds back weapon mod slots though only 2)
Use these mods and you’ll have your very own custom iconic weapons. And or breathe life into boring iconics/base weapons.
Jackies gun is one of the only Iconic weapons I like using most aside from Maybe Johnnys, Dex’s and Skippy because of the modding it has. Tbh its the perfect gun for stealth if its upgraded enough and equipped with a good suppressor if ur aims good.
Hell nah, I primarily use iconics. Late game, the combat becomes trivial, regardless of the stats of the weapons. They look way more unique and cooler than the base models. Style over substance, choom.
Tier 5++ Tayamura with two mod slots filled with gold equalizers is the best silenced pistol in the game. Hits harder than Your Majesty.
I used Johnny’s gun, and the scalpel, otherwise id just use whatever I felt like in the moment for my 3rd slot
I use the Malorian and the NUSA I got from Myers, and that iconic DB that fires both shots at once.
Yeah it’s disappointing, I feel the iconics really need to be more powerful than their base models.
I snatched most of them, but the only one I use regularly is Kyubi X-Mod 2 with silencer.
Depends. I use iconic swords a lot. But most iconic guns I skip with a couple exceptions
I like the overwatch sniper rifle.
