Planetside 2 by Daybreak Games
Least used weapons in the game (my personal list)
Through the game I noticed that some of the weapons are not used at all or are extremely rear to see someone using or get killed by such weapon).
For TR I personaly nearly never saw anyone using SABR-13 or the M6 Onslaught (I understand why SABR-13 is so non common, just because it is a burst weapon but the Onslaught?). If talking about secondaries I nearly never saw anything NS revolvers, or TX1 Repeater. I am probably pretty wrong, but that is from my personal observations. About LMGs for TR and NC, the S variants f the standart guns is pretty underused.
For NC the EM1 is very underused as EM 6, (I personaly was not killed really often by it), the AF-8 RailJack, and most secondaries exept stock and LA3 Desperado)
For VS, again, most of the secondaries exept beamer, the Phaseshift VX-S.
And also pretty common thing for all the factions are nearly no use of burst weapons.
Again, it is my personal opinion so if you have your personal opinion, please share it in the comments.




Well I haven't seen many people use the TR infiltrator's Trap and I've never seen anyone with the NS 15 Gallows (the bounty directive reward) probably because it's too hard to get.
I've actually gotten killed by somebody with a Gallows a few times now on Milller. But they are a pretty rare sight. But yeah, the only times I've seen someone use a TRAP was when I was using it. Most people hate that gun with a vengeance (despite not being half bad if you treat it as a scout rifle.)
I suppose it has a few reasons. Burst weapons suffered from a pretty bad reputation at launch, and though they were buffed quite a bit recently, they still aren't everybody's cup of tea. - The SABR-13 funnily enough didn't have this reputation, but since a lot of players consider it a long range weapon, I suppose it has a reputation for being too situational (an undeserved reputation IMO, but yeah.)
Similarly the S variants of the LMGs sacrifice TTK for versatility, which I suppose is offputting for a lot of people.
I don't see a lot of scout rifles in use either, the Empire specific ones seem particularly rare. Long range bolt-actions other than the Bolt-driver, Longshot (+ Moonshot), RAMS, Parallax, M77B and V10 also seem pretty rare.
Vehicle wise, I think I've only ever seen one Mjolnir in the field. (As opposed to the Aphellion which I see from time to time, or the almost obiquitous Gatekeeper.)
On Miller, the Mjolnir is pretty commonly used by harrasser pilots, on the other hand: Have you ever seen the harrasser/mbt version of the light ppa ?
Funny, I play on Miller myself and I rarely see it. Then again, I don't see the NC using Harassers that often to begin with (compared to the TR and VS at least.)
As for the vehicle mounted light PPA: I have, though it's been a while. Most of the time I get exposed to the light PPA it's through scythes (particularly ones that are farming infantry.) I suppose that's partially a matter of exposure - air has an easier time farming infantry than vehicles do in most bases after all.
I have only been killed by a burst variant weapon once in my entire 1600 hour planetside career, and it was a teamkill (why NC??). I personally love the EM1 and the railjack, more than then more commonly used EM6 and Longshot. As far as pistols go, the NC08 mag-scatter is the rarest to be seen, probably because it sucks compared with commissioner or underboss.
