I'm a lv 50 Heavy. My primary weapons so far have been a regular 10*** Ronson flame and a regular 10*** HVM 002 smg, both of which I crafted myself. I also got a 10*** Red CM Titan, but I don't use it because $800 for 200 rounds is not sustainable (yet) and a 10*** Red Lone Star (haven't touched it. Thinking about selling). But the HVM 002 doesn't cut it anymore in terms of DPS and with 25 points in heavy gear, I just don't see the point in using an SMG anymore. I use the flamethower A LOT now and maintaining 30 rps of sustained fire is costly (around 5000 - 8000 rnds for a regular MP mission), and I have to get up close to targets to kill them which is a bit of a liability. So I want to craft a high-end regular weapon to *complement* the flamethrower, and mitigate it's primary weaknesses which imo are range and kill time (time it takes to drop a zombie), AND it's ineffectiveness against shielders. The obvious choice with that heavy gear skill would be a heavy weapon, i.e. -  Proposition (regular version), so that it'll boost my movement and give me some major firepower.

I just want to know if a regular 10*** Prop is effective from level 50 to at least the end of the 60s (Red weapons are just not sustainable right now). If there are any better choices in terms of regular weapons that can be outfitted with Adaptive without too much worry about capacity/reload time, I'd love to hear them. However, these choices should preferrably have an advantage over a Proposition.I'm also partial to the Hotspot which I used for the first time today. Even without any augs except 1 point in capacity, I found the weapon suprisingly damn effective, so I'd like to know if it'll be effective from Lv.50 to the end of the 60s (after which I'll open a black box, and hopefully get a half-decent gun). I can only craft ONE weapon though, because that's all the alloy I have. Thanks in advance for any answers/advise.



TLDR: Want to craft 10*** Prop or 10*** Hotspot to replace HVM 002, need for use from Lv.50 to Lv.70, must have Adaptive. Either one good? Which one better? Why?
