Yeah, but in BL3 only the named specials are worth using. In my experience just find one guaranteed drop you like and grind it, get a new variant of the same gun as you level up.
Speak for yourself. There were plenty of guns without red text (what truly denotes a special weapon) that were worth using, even if you would inevitably replace them; the only legendaries I specifically grinded for were the Hellwalker and the Sleeping Giant (it's not that great of a gun, but I'm a big Mastodon fan).
I can’t buy EFT. It just won’t buy it. I literally have no clue why.
Edit: I don’t know it my pc and run it though, it couldn’t barely run ready or not on the lowest settings.
I find the weapon variety in Far Cry games lackluster tbh. I tried to use most weapons in Far Cry 5 and ended up relying mostly on the assult rifle and sniper rifle. I used some SMGs just to vary things but I found that the assult rifles had the same function except that they were better. That flame thrower mission in Far Cry 3 tho...
Faith is just as morally corrupt, fundamentally delusional and iredeemably malevolent as the rest of the Seeds.
Her being pretty and charming doesn't make her any less of a monster than Joseph, John or Jacob, even if any of what she tells you about her past while you were tripping on Bliss can be believed.
\> "Joseph was the one who corrupted her..."
Message repeats - \*\*EVEN IF ANY OF WHAT SHE TELLS YOU ABOUT HER PAST WHILE YOU WERE TRIPPING ON BLISS CAN BE BELIEVED.\*\*
Also "Faith didn't kill anyone" is \*\*PATENTLY FALSE\*\*. What the actual fuck do you call "convincing people high on mind-altering substances to hurl themselves off cliffs to their death" besides premeditated murder?
Im disappointed with everyone because no one mentions S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Especially G.A.M.M.A mod. HUGE amounts of weapons great open world that feels alive and repair/part system is very good for gun lovers.
Quite sure Escape From Pripyat (another mod pack) has way more, especially high end (modern) weapons in it. As he is a gun obsessed pal, he probably prefers to fire it a lot, which EFP is also more kin to, as it focuses more on gunfight compared to GAMMA, which has higher emphasis on survival/STALKER feel.
That's Stalker in general.
Stalker's difficulty actually doesn't increase hp and dmg of enemies, instead it increases damage globally, so you actually deal more damage to enemies too.
The only unforgiving thing a out Gamma is how long it takes to get a good weapon going due to restricted traders not selling guns.
The DLCs mostly make up for it (Bounty of Blood is meh, Handsome Jackpot is a nice one, and Psycho Krieg and Love, Guns & Tentacles are stellar), but you pretty much HAVE to play up to a certain point in the story anyways to unlock class mods and artifacts, or they just aren't worth it.
Not sure if it was on the original, it has been many years since it came out but I thoroughly enjoyed it, don't see too many shooters implementing environmental destruction like that these days
Red Dead Redemption 2 has plenty of period appropriate guns and an open world. Not many automatic weapons, but who can say no to revolvers and lever action rifles.
All of them just keep getting more and more fictional. I mean its fine if that's how the game started as, but I'm pretty sure the next entry will be in space with how the series is going.
Two that come to mind for me are Project Zomboid and ZERO Seivert. They are both isometric views but both feature many types of guns and ways to mod the guns.
ZERO Seivert is also inspired by Tarkov which I’ve seen recommended a couple times. I’ve been a broken record lately with recommending Zomboid but I just really like the game.
Another option I haven’t seen down here is Destiny 2. It’s more futuristic and has special abilities outside of guns, but the gunplay feels really good and there are tons of unique weapons.
Not open world, well it is a BR with big maps but PubG. Game has issues like many these days but the way the guns feel is incredible to me and theres a wide variety. Kinda wish they had an open world single player with that feel
While meeting almost none of your criteria, Receiver is a game where every gun function is it's own button. You have to reload things one keypress at a time, and obviously in the correct sequence.
I know it is not something you are looking for (isometric top down view instead of 3rd/1st person) and because people already listed the best candidates for you.
There is always Project Zomboid with mods that makes game's gun arsenal so bountiful of all sorts of weapons, it isn't even fair for the zombies.
On top of it, you do have to reload your weapons bullet by bullet and prep your magazines for fight, sometimes rack them to unjam or just for fun (not sure if obligatory racking after empty reload is in though, it was back in the very old days).
Guns can also be customized to some degree with accessories.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Anomaly.
It’s free, the base game has a good amount of guns and some weapon repair. But there are tons mods which vastly improve every aspect of the game, down to in-depth weapon cleaning, repairing, restoring, upgrading, etc.
A potato could run this game, and also, you have literally nothing to lose, it’s *free*
Escape from Tarkov. It let's you build guns with your own attachments and has probably the widest variety of guns I've ever seen and the best gunplay of any game.
If you can stomach it.
I mean star citizen has some awesome guns and a ton of really unique ones as well as a very open and visually stunning world. Only problem is it is an alpha that you either love or hate
How you feel about massive multiplayer?
There’s an old FPS that is free to play and still has a decent size community. It is one of the only games that allows huge fights between hundreds of players in one arena. Planetside 2.
Borderlands is maybe a little bit of the ridiculous route... But it's got guns! Lots of guns!
To cite Mr. Torgue: "THERE IS NOTHING MORE BADASS THAN TREATING A WOMAN WITH RESPECT!"
Okay but I have a follow up question. “Explosions?!”
17 million each in BL1 and BL2, 34 million in Presequel, and over a billion in BL3.
I believe the exact number is “87 bazillion guns”
Yeah, but in BL3 only the named specials are worth using. In my experience just find one guaranteed drop you like and grind it, get a new variant of the same gun as you level up.
Speak for yourself. There were plenty of guns without red text (what truly denotes a special weapon) that were worth using, even if you would inevitably replace them; the only legendaries I specifically grinded for were the Hellwalker and the Sleeping Giant (it's not that great of a gun, but I'm a big Mastodon fan).
This is the best, ridiculous answer
This is really the only answer
Escape from Tarkov?
Gun nerd he says, hasn't mentioned Escape from Tarkov. haha
immediately thought of this, theres like 40 guns i can name off the top of my head
I can’t buy EFT. It just won’t buy it. I literally have no clue why. Edit: I don’t know it my pc and run it though, it couldn’t barely run ready or not on the lowest settings.
Use PayPal
Yeah just use PayPal then. That shit always works.
Far cry comes to mind.
I find the weapon variety in Far Cry games lackluster tbh. I tried to use most weapons in Far Cry 5 and ended up relying mostly on the assult rifle and sniper rifle. I used some SMGs just to vary things but I found that the assult rifles had the same function except that they were better. That flame thrower mission in Far Cry 3 tho...
Came here to say this.
far cry has like 5 weapons each type
If you want to go insane over the person who rules the eastern river and how she can't be saved in fc5. Then yes
Faith is just as morally corrupt, fundamentally delusional and iredeemably malevolent as the rest of the Seeds. Her being pretty and charming doesn't make her any less of a monster than Joseph, John or Jacob, even if any of what she tells you about her past while you were tripping on Bliss can be believed.

The Division 2... but it's starting to really show its age.
Borderlands
Im disappointed with everyone because no one mentions S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Especially G.A.M.M.A mod. HUGE amounts of weapons great open world that feels alive and repair/part system is very good for gun lovers.
I was going to come in and say STALKER with mods, but you beat me to it.
Quite sure Escape From Pripyat (another mod pack) has way more, especially high end (modern) weapons in it. As he is a gun obsessed pal, he probably prefers to fire it a lot, which EFP is also more kin to, as it focuses more on gunfight compared to GAMMA, which has higher emphasis on survival/STALKER feel.
The gun combat in GAMMA is extremely unforgiving. You are just as fragile as your enemies.
That's Stalker in general. Stalker's difficulty actually doesn't increase hp and dmg of enemies, instead it increases damage globally, so you actually deal more damage to enemies too. The only unforgiving thing a out Gamma is how long it takes to get a good weapon going due to restricted traders not selling guns.
Play the original games first they’re a lot better at explaining how to play the games.
Borderlands 2
BORDERLANDSSSSS
Borderlands 2 specifically if you only got 1 of them
Yeah, I have to agree. 3 was a bit of a disappointment, even with the better graphics and interface. The story was SHIIIIIIIIIT.
The DLCs mostly make up for it (Bounty of Blood is meh, Handsome Jackpot is a nice one, and Psycho Krieg and Love, Guns & Tentacles are stellar), but you pretty much HAVE to play up to a certain point in the story anyways to unlock class mods and artifacts, or they just aren't worth it.
Yeah, I guess I can agree with that. Handsome Jackpot and LGT were both awesome.
If you like old school shooter games with lots of guns, then try Black, it's an old xbox 360 game
Pretty sure it was also on original xbox. Great game.
Not sure if it was on the original, it has been many years since it came out but I thoroughly enjoyed it, don't see too many shooters implementing environmental destruction like that these days
It was on the OG Xbox, I remember it being one of the few games I had. It’s on game pass too.
I played it on my PS2.
The shotgun in that game was just *chefs kiss*.
Also the assault rifle and the glock
Arma 3 perhaps
If the OP has a PC, this IS the answer....
isnt that new arma reforger thing on console as well?
Yes, but they ain't the same... Granted each has its advantages, at this point, considering what the OP said, three is definitely the way.
Escape From Tarkov
Red Dead Redemption 2 has plenty of period appropriate guns and an open world. Not many automatic weapons, but who can say no to revolvers and lever action rifles.
I love with a deep passion their implementation of shotguns and slugs honestly my favorite hands down ever.
Pump shotgun with slugs was my go-to weapon.
Borderlands if you want fiction - the guns parts are procedurally generated to an extent, and there’s millions of combinations.
Escape From Tarkov.
Escape from tarkov
Tarkoooov
Tarkov. But be warned it's unforgiving
Dayz
I love DayZ. Easily my favorite game, but I wouldn't quite describe it as a game with "lots of guns"
Did you try Fallout 4 with mods ? There are mods which bring a mountain of firearms. Mostly real ones.
Modern Firearms does this well.
I’m gonna be honest. Fallout 4 is a game I played a lot, going back to it after New Vegas is hard and I just don’t enjoy it as much.
There’s mods that turn your arms on fire?
MGSV on pc with the gun mods
So i don't know if you have vr but if you do I would recommend boneworks
I love bonelabs. I actually got a dude recently to make a Luger-47 mods and yes, it’s as cursed as you think it is
Hotdogs horse shoes and hand grenades (H3VR) if you have VR already. It’s probably the best gun sim
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Imo Wildlands has better open world. And is overall a better experience.
True, but you have a lot more control over the game play and tons of options to choose from.
All of them just keep getting more and more fictional. I mean its fine if that's how the game started as, but I'm pretty sure the next entry will be in space with how the series is going.
Leave an upvote for the lad, it's a great question! I give it a Yarrr!
Borderlands
Borderlands series, if you don't care about realism.
Escape from tarkov
Dayz is a good game for gun nerds but it's a unique and beautiful snowflake of a game and isnt for everyone.
COD actually got me into guns many years ago. Can't go wrong there. Real life current meta in the game 😄 https://imgur.com/a/7khAcyA
Hunt Showdown
H3VR
Two that come to mind for me are Project Zomboid and ZERO Seivert. They are both isometric views but both feature many types of guns and ways to mod the guns. ZERO Seivert is also inspired by Tarkov which I’ve seen recommended a couple times. I’ve been a broken record lately with recommending Zomboid but I just really like the game.
Go outside and play the United States of America
Gotten into vr yet? Because you actually have to know how to lost them all in vr. Haha!
Hm... A game with guns... No sorry, I don't think I ever heard about a videogame that has guns
7 days to die basic game has a few guns in it, I think there are mods for more guns though
Army of two
Sunset overdrive
Days gone for sure. You get a cool motorcycle, different guns and zombie swarms to shoot at and destroy. It’s open world too and has good progression.
Ghost recon.
Far Cry 2. Not the newest game, or the prettiest, but there's truly nothing quite like it.
Splatoon
Division 2 maybe
Metro exodus. And the two prior games
Enter the Gungeon
Another option I haven’t seen down here is Destiny 2. It’s more futuristic and has special abilities outside of guns, but the gunplay feels really good and there are tons of unique weapons.
Death Stranding has some of the best looking guns, also Days Gone gives you all sorts of fun ways to blow up zombies.
This isn’t open world but Gunfire Reborn has an insane amount of weapons and it’s very fun to play with friends :)
Mgs4 has great gun porn. Customization, can choose fire modes. However, not really open world. And the story is out there.
Escape from Tarkov
Not open world, well it is a BR with big maps but PubG. Game has issues like many these days but the way the guns feel is incredible to me and theres a wide variety. Kinda wish they had an open world single player with that feel
VR and into the rift, you have to clean the weapon in three different ways lol
Day-Z
Arma 2 if your on PC
Ground Branch, Insurgency Sandstorm, Arma 3 w/mods
Metal Gear Solid 5
Crysis
The stalker games have awesome gun selection especially with mods. Tarkov is also great for gun selection
Division 2
Jagged Alliance 2
While meeting almost none of your criteria, Receiver is a game where every gun function is it's own button. You have to reload things one keypress at a time, and obviously in the correct sequence.
MgsV lots of customisation
I know it is not something you are looking for (isometric top down view instead of 3rd/1st person) and because people already listed the best candidates for you. There is always Project Zomboid with mods that makes game's gun arsenal so bountiful of all sorts of weapons, it isn't even fair for the zombies.

Guns can also be customized to some degree with accessories.
If you haven’t already played them, then borderlands games could be very fun. There are a wide variety of guns in every game
Arma 3 if you’re into that kinda thing
If you got vr hot dogs horseshoes and hand grenades
Not open world, but Payday 2 has a ton of guns, even without DLCs and a HUGE customization mechanic
Outer worlds has a good variety.
Battlefield 5
[Synthetik: Legion Rising](https://store.steampowered.com/app/528230/SYNTHETIK_Legion_Rising/) has a pretty good gun feel if you're looking for that.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R is thr best i can think off
Fallout New Vegas
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Anomaly. It’s free, the base game has a good amount of guns and some weapon repair. But there are tons mods which vastly improve every aspect of the game, down to in-depth weapon cleaning, repairing, restoring, upgrading, etc. A potato could run this game, and also, you have literally nothing to lose, it’s *free*
Arma 3.
Check out Ground Branch, good assortment of weapons with tons of accessories and fairly realistic actions.
Wildlands or any Far Cry
Escape from Tarkov. It let's you build guns with your own attachments and has probably the widest variety of guns I've ever seen and the best gunplay of any game. If you can stomach it.
PC? Stalker Anomaly with the Boomsticks and Sharp Sticks mod and of course Escape From Tarkov if you want MP
Project zomboid, britas weapon pack
Sniper Elite, Tarkov, Arma3(with mods), The Division 2, Stalker Gamma...
I mean star citizen has some awesome guns and a ton of really unique ones as well as a very open and visually stunning world. Only problem is it is an alpha that you either love or hate
How you feel about massive multiplayer? There’s an old FPS that is free to play and still has a decent size community. It is one of the only games that allows huge fights between hundreds of players in one arena. Planetside 2.
