There are decent weapons like the Ghost Primus (kinetic auto), Midnight Coup (kinetic hc), Sins of the Past (rocket launcher) and It Stared Back (sword). In case of Better Devils vs Midnight Coup. Yes the explosive rounds are awesome. But Rampage and Outlaw is nice, too. Coup is for more add control imo. Then there are, let's say arguable weapons like the energy scout and pulse, and while the sniper doesn't have bad perks it just suffers from the same problems as all snipers. The pulse has Outlaw and Kill Clip, which is an awesome combination, but sadly that Pulse archetype feels a little weird. I honestly use the Conspirator scout now just because full-auto is more chill. The raid lair shotgun is also good. In terms of armor, you have to decide yourself if you want a full set or not. Hope this helped.
