Best gun to roll with?

[ImaShootsYa]

Been running the RPK with a 100 rd mag and the best parts (as far as I can tell) which has been fun.
Tried the scar but with no silencers it's just suicidal to use.
Ak is just the RPKs lil bro.
Shotgun damage on all of em is 100 which can't be right....is it?
Want to run the RPD but I don't see any real parts for it and my RPK hits with 225 DMG.

So, guess my question is... Are any of the other weapons more viable (accurate or damage) than a silenced high quality RPK?

It's 100 per pellet. Which amount to about 1000 at short range.
AA-12 and USAS-12 are murder machines, especially with extended mags. it's also a Crowd control wonder. Yesterday I got caught in the back at 10+ meters by 20 armed cyborgs, and I reflex mag dumped toward them, allowing me to stunlock them long enough to go in cover and then take them on.

SVD is very decent with headshots once you can get a silencer and a scope on it.
Can't tell for the two A-M snipers cause my main character cannot use them.

M79 is a nice 'you die' button for the characters that can't equip grenade launchers.

I use the Vityaz as I play Shaman and want to use a weapon he specializes in. The Vityaz seems to be the only SMG that's fully moddable/upgradeable and therefore, in my opinion, the only viable SMG.

From what i hear all shotguns fire 20 pellets so that would actually be 2K damage, except the surplus shotgun which fires 16 pellets.

that might be true. I've probably never got shot plain center by a teamate, so I don't know the exact damage, but even an uncentered miss-fire can cost you about 800 HP. What I know is that when I shoot ennemies upper torso, they tend to die immediatelly. Even EOD hunter-killers die in 2-3 shots upper torso, even got a few one-shots if everything lands in the head.

I'm guessing you can't really silence a shotty?

Still, the most powerful weapon is the HGM – Painless, 200 damage and an incredibly high rate of fire, at 200 ammo. The downside is that only 1 character can use it and it doesn't have a silencer) But when everyone nearby comes running to the shots, they stay to lie here)

Fully kitted saw with 300 mag, aa-12 with 32 mag, Grenadae launcher, anti tank 20mm. Fully kitted SCAR 50 mag.
The saw can have a silencer btw, SCAR too i think?

Here's the best youtube video overview of weapons on the internet, from my favorite The Forever Winter content creator, Killpo1. I highly recommend all of his videos on The Forever Winter, actually. Especially the Enemy Threat overview, where he goes over all enemies in the game.

But in terms of discussing the pros and cons of each weapon, this is outstanding. I don't agree with some of his conclusions, but I love the way he thinks and how he outlines his thoughts on each one.

Scar does not have a muzzle suppressor in the game that works at the moment that I know of.

[DaGrbIZb]

Nope. SCAR has a burrel upgrade, wich looks like it's an integrated silencer. But as we all know: right now intagrated tipe of silencers don't work. In case of SVK Vychlop, it's not even presented in weapon model.))

For now you can't. If you shoot, either move or if you can't, be ready to murder everyone in the vicinity that isn't already fighting with someone else.

Yep it can get pretty hectic, the AA12 is a here I am signal,, and it doesn't help that when you run out of ammo you don't automatically switch to the Equip 2 slot

Thx, It was very useful to find out the rate of fire of weapons (as well as the real damage of 36M antitank and grenade launchers)

[Grim@FU_BARRACUDA]

The RPK is the best allrounder in my opinion, but for narrow maps you really want one of the shotguns and if it is just the S12 at least. You ofc need Nade or Anti-Material for exo+ stuff ...

Around 225 dmg with 95 shots silenced is bearly beatable as allrounder ;-)

[Judaspriester]

My usual setup is RPK + SVD.
Still I can't await the fix for all the barrels with included silencers, since it would allow alot more options if you want to stay quiet.
