The best weapons for a Power Surge build

Primary weapon

To further increase the Outsider Rifle’s rate of fire, you can use the Deviant Expert and Rapid-Fire calibration blueprints. These can be acquired by dismantling assault rifles that you loot during your playthrough.

The main benefit of this weapon that makes it compatible with a Power Surge build is its weapon function, namely a 35% chance to trigger a power surge when hitting an enemy. This percentage is quite high for a firearm and therefore it is incredibly effective, especially when hitting large hordes of enemies in quick succession, which increases the chance of a power burst.
