The absolute best weapons. No weaknesses, dominant in all scenarios. 85%+ pro usage rate.
M416
The undisputed king. 85% pro usage rate with unmatched versatility and recoil control when fully kitted.
Groza

AWM
One-shot Level 3 helmet eliminations. 90% pro coverage in final circles. The ultimate sniper.
MG3
Devastating suppression fire with massive magazine. Switchable fire rates for versatility.
DBS
Double-barrel semi-auto devastation. Unmatched close-quarters lethality in building fights.
A-Tier — Highly Competitive
Excellent weapons that excel in specific roles. Reliable choices for any loadout.
AKM
Raw stopping power with 48 damage. High recoil but devastating when controlled. Close-range beast.
Beryl M762

AUG A3
Superior bullet velocity and faster fire rate than M416. Best mid-range spray control.
Kar98k
90% pro loadout pairing with M416. One-shots Level 2 helmets. No airdrop dependency.
UMP45
Best SMG in game. Chinese pro favorite with incredible stability and range for its class.
Vector
Fastest fire rate in the game. Melts enemies instantly in close quarters. Extended mag essential.
Mini 14
Buffed 60% recoil reduction in V4.1. Fastest DMR fire rate with excellent accuracy.
SKS
Higher damage than Mini 14 with more attachment options. Great mid-to-long range option.
B-Tier — Solid Options
Reliable weapons with some limitations. Good alternatives when top-tier isn't available.
SCAR-L
Perfect for new players. Predictable recoil, identical fire rate to M416, very stable.
DP-28
47-round magazine with surprisingly low recoil when prone. Great for suppression.
SLR
Highest damage DMR. Punishing recoil requires skill but rewards with big hits.
M24
Solid bolt-action sniper. Nearly matches Kar98k performance with world spawn availability.
Mk14
Full-auto capable DMR with highest damage. Challenging recoil but devastating potential.
P90
50-round magazine SMG with excellent control. Melts enemies but requires airdrop.
C-Tier — Situational Picks
Map-specific or role-specific weapons. Viable in certain scenarios but not recommended as primary.
QBZ
Sanhok exclusive. Decent stats but outclassed by M416 in every way.
G36C
Vikendi exclusive. Stable rifle but lacks the punch of 7.62mm options.
Tommy Gun
50-round drum magazine. Fun to use but poor accuracy limits effectiveness.
Micro Uzi
Extremely fast fire rate but weak damage. Early game only, replace ASAP.
VSS
Built-in suppressor and 4x scope. Very quiet but low damage limits effectiveness.
S12K
Semi-auto shotgun with extended mag option. Inconsistent spread hurts reliability.
D-Tier — Avoid If Possible
Weak weapons that should be replaced immediately. Only use when no other options exist.
S1897
Pump-action is too slow for the 2026 meta. Replace immediately.
S686
Only 2 shots before reload. High risk, low reward in any situation.
M16A4
Burst-fire only makes it outclassed in every combat scenario. Avoid.
Win94
Iron sights only with slow lever-action. Meme weapon, not competitive.
