Quick Tips
Assault Rifles are the best starter weapon — versatile damage across all ranges.
Sniper Rifles excel at long-range captures of high-HP Ancient-tier dinos.
Shotguns are best for close-quarters fights and Ancient-tier damage windows.
Sidearms are backup weapons — switch to them when your main runs dry.
Shotguns are devastating at point-blank but useless at range — keep them as ambush weapons in jungle or cave environments. Revolvers fill the role of emergency close-range backup.
