Re-45 Opinions?

So i've always had a love for this weapon. Compact,crazy fire rate  and a surprisingly impressive bit of stopping power. Since the last 2 buffs (disruptor hop+mag increase) though this thing has bec...

Having to google which one the RE-45 is, tells me: I should know my stuff.

I am still mixing up some of the (RPG) weapons in game, have to throw a close look on the fire rate when equipped (which ones are the 3-shot bursts? is there a single fire option? ...). My respects to all of you who seemingly know each detail by heart.

Checking the weapons I came across pages on rankedboost.com. Why do they say "Best characters to use (weapon)"? Do different legends really handle weapons differently well? Or that just a lore-thing?

@Tamyndris Like @MandatoryIDtag said, some characters work well with certain guns. That’s why in the banners you see characters with a specific weapon. Look at Fat Guy... I mean Gibraltar. He’s the only one who cocks the PeaceKeeper like a badass frankly...

Just lore stuff frankly but for up close characters (Wraith: RE45, Mirage: Wingman, Caustic: Peacekeeper) the guns are sort of self explanatory. Bangalore isn’t a creeper and that’s why you see her with the G7.

    For me RE-45 is still on par with P2020 and Mozambique.. They all got buffs but still not enough for the mid-end game..

    As for your actual question there are no physical benefits as such its more a matter of weapons that accompany a legends play style well+combined with your own play style.

    E.g weapons that are superior for CQC scenarios work well with legends that like to get up close and personal.

    I tend to use mainly the re-45/r99 when im playing wraith as i tend to go for a more guerilla warfare style of play. Bangalore is an all rounder so she's pretty versatile weaponwise, it just comes down to how you utilise her abilities.

    Shotguns/snipers i tend to run with pathfinder as his abilities allow you to either distance yourself or close down the distance between you and an enemy quickly.

    I won't give you any more examples but i hope this clarifies a bit.(PS people will probably rush to disagree with the examples but i'm just explaining how i play them so i don't care. XD)

    I see. Thanks for the input, you two.

    Usually, I am happy when equipped with a sniper rifle and a shotgun, because then I am ready for close combats and ones at a distance, I feel. Also, as I am bad with holding aim during a volley, so I feel more effective in the single shot world. But, very often I am thus at the losing end of the shootout, when a well aimed RPG is superior to one or two shotgun hits in the same period of time.

    Thus, nowadays I stick with what I find. Recently, I won a fight by hip-shooting from my G7 at very close range. A welcome surprise at that moment.
