The vast majority of the firearms in the game’s staggeringly huge arsenal (over 100 weapons) have some form of soft-lock, homing capability, or splash effect meaning firefights are never about pixel-perfect marksmanship or your circle-strafing skills. Stats, tactics, kit and companions decide who wins and who winces in this game.
