What are the mechanic weapons?

Check for the little cog symbol on the weapons. Wrenches, cogs, nailguns, anvils, blade boomerangs. Side damage with saw blades and turrets and more wrenches. Been testing a mechanic build using Eggplant Eddie. His shock wave is great for knocking everything back with a lil damage. The smg doesn't help with knockback like a shotgun or wrench when dealing with hoards getting too close in the Endless, or when taking out a base. Getting close is dangerous but you hit harder. The spark on the mechanic suit is similar to the vampire suit life drain and picks up health fairly well too. Invest in crit chance. So far so good. As for the can specials the mine carts are pretty fun. Not sure if the cans are meant for certain builds or not. Just testing things out. Trying rage once it is leveled enough.

The best base wep is SMG there is no doubt about it, then it depend on how you like to play, if you choose element, range or close combat, I find that range works best for me, and in range there is just 2 weapons that work other then the base SMG and that's mini and that is probably the most powerful weapon in game then there is the revolver both really powerful, mini is really fast and it can crit also it has better range then the SMG but lower crit cate, and revolver hits more then 1 target, if I can choose any wep I like at any stage of an run i won a go 2 SMG beginning then later 2 SMG 2 mini 2 revolver, next 2 revolver 3 to 4 mini and maybe 1 SMG, and late game pure mini, and as for base items go for the best range DMG then interest rates and element DMG,
