Which weapon should I use?

[Fetito Fazzito]

Hello! I have the Season 2 Gold edition which grants access to some extra weapons, but which ones should I use?

I prefer rather frontal assault instead of stealth.

Thank you!

i dont have the season 2 gold, but use sig556 llama as benchmark (its one of my fav guns beside mk17 with mods, or even LVOA-C Bad News if you had it)

MK17 does the most damage, one of the staple weapons, but the ACR is a better middle-ground for most ranges and missions.

My personal favorite is the M4A1, you can put different parts on the weapon to make it perfect for CQB or 100m+ fights, it's really versatile.

The S2RM (prob got the name wrong, but its close to that) has the highest rate of fire and best handling, so that's really good if you plan on fighting up close.

I am a very assault rifle based player, almost all my load-outs are usually 2 assault rifles. These are some recommend assault rifles I use worth trying:

TAR-21 - This is like the perfect all round weapon and is very adaptable:
Short barrel, compensator, foregrip, etc; this is a very good CQC weapon and is fairly reliable at taking out enemies up to 200m using iron sights.
Long barrel, suppressor usually, ACOG scope, etc, it can be a great DMR, although I do prefer the AK-47.
And this is the most successful rifle I found with the exception of the Bad News you get at tier 5 that can make a single weapon does everything, if you say put grenade launcher, digital scope, etc on it you have a decent weapon that does what ever range you could possibly need. In this case, your second slot can be a shotgun or something you usually wouldn’t carry.
My stats say it is my favorite weapon right now - I agree.

AK-47 - it can be a fun CQC weapon if adjusted for it, and the iron sights are my favorite imo, but I don’t recommend this in tier mode (arcade-extreme, yes, but if you play tier mode, no (imo)). The best thing in tier mode that I love about this weapon is to completely set it up for long range and a suppressor, then I put a grenade launcher on it. The AK is my favorite DMR, with an ACOG scope you can hit anything reliably 500m (max distance enemies spawn) just fine (ironically), and a lvl 30 can kill enemies in 3 or so hits at 250m just fine. The rof is faster than the MK 17 which I couldn’t ever get into really, it’s semi-auto rof that I use is just slow enough to aim your next shot in line with your previous, but fast enough to hit your enemies while they’re stunned by the previous shot. The grenade launcher is since handling doesn’t matter, this is a good anti-vehicle weapon to use, while your primary like the TAR or something will have very high handling. Since it is classified as an assault rifle, suppressed enemies cannot hear it over 36 meters approximately, while a sniper rifle is like at least 25% louder.

G2 - I do not recommend using this weapon over say 175 meters, but if our into say a 150meter or less fight, this is the only weapon I would recommend that might be slightly better than the TAR (in CQC). I have the foregrip v4 and short barrel and everything for pure QCQ, I prefer the PKAS scope for it personally, and this thing shreds enemies in tier mode with a lvl 30. It has horrible range performance and bullet drop, but when using it less than 200m, there is literally nothing bad about this weapon whatsoever, and the 1000 rounds per minute rate of fire pummels enemies with bullets.

M4A1 - probably the most assault rifle rifle to ever assault rifle in this game, if you only fight enemies between 100m and 300m, this weapon excelled in pure medium range. I mean, there is no bad modifications you can use, it is an awesome weapon in every regards. Kind of hard to explain why it is so good, but like I said, if you’re fighting enemies between 100 and 300 meters, this gun is just awesome (and it’s still good in CQC too).
For it I prefer the compM4, it is the perfect medium range scope imo; I just stick to the standard barrel and either a compensator or a standard muzzle brake is just fine; I usually either have either a rail cover or the ATPIAL Laser Sight (because it looks cool), and the Foregrip V2(because it also looks cool); the weapon is so good that I literally mod it for aesthetic look.

The SR3M I usually use for 150 meters or less, it basically takes the best out of a SMG and an Assault Rifle; I personally use the PKAS, foregrip, and ATPIAL laser. I actually use the suppressor all the time because it looks cool, as well as fun fact: the SR3M when developed by the Russians used special 9x39mm versions of the Ak’s 7.62x39mm to pack the same punch at closer range, while having the bullets travel sub sonic, so they wouldn’t create a sonic crack: the weapon is literally built for stealth and meant to be used with a suppressor. Although unfortunately, it doesn’t have any advantages over the other assault rifles suppressed :(

AUG A3, ok as a CQC, but with the long barrel it actually has the least amount of bullet drop, and is a very good DMR. Although I personally like the AK.

AK-12 - the game lies, it’s not actually not an AK-12, but an AK-15, but not the point. This weapon is very good, and I find it also to be a great DMR as well as a medium range weapon - with the M4A1, I highly recommend trying this gun for medium range. Like the TAR-21, this is also a weapon I experimented with by making a weapon that doesn’t excel in anything but is effective in everything, it’s good.

All the ones above are all my lvl 30 rifles in tier mode, also notable ones:

LVOA-C ‘Bad News’: get it when you reach tier 5, another “doesn’t excel in anything, but is effective for everything” weapon. You only get it in tier one mode, when you get to tier 5; if you play tier mode.

P-416: it may be the starter weapon, but do not estimate it - stats lie. This is an excellent weapon, and eventually will be another lvl 30 in my list. As you mod it, the thing is a great weapon.

ACR: everyone preaches it is one of the best weapons in the game, personally I didn’t like it. Worth trying it though, you may. It is very adaptive admittedly.

L85A2: also a pretty good medium range only weapon, worth trying.

MK-17: the highest damage assault rifle, I prefer the AK-47 but this weapon is built to be a DMR, a great medium to long range rifle.


*non of these weapons are from season 2 though, these are all stock weapons.
Is the SC 4000 a season 2 weapon? It’s the only one I really hear about, from what I hear it is very much like the TAR-21.

What ever you like. Most guns are completely viable. I personally used to use the R5 RGP and the Mk-48, or Spaz shotty (I mayt do this again since the M4 Super90 is in the game now). I like to switch it up depending on the role I feel like playing right now I am rocking the M40A5 Sniper as my primary, my secondary s**t hits the fan gun is the P90 and my stealth gun is the P227 because it has the best iron sights. For pistols pick what has the best sights in your opinion since they are primarily useful for stealth and that's about it and in stealth all enemies are 1-2 hits.

Normally I don't use a silencer on any primary, only on my pistol since having that extra accuracy is nice.

I personally prefer m4a1. MK17 has the highest damage but also the lowest dps due to very low firerate and longer reload time. It's all up to you though. Every assault rifle is viable. I use m4a1 in ghost mode with compm4, suppressor, long barrel, grenade launcher(for anti-vehicle), three dot laser sight and 30 round mag for immersivity. I choose LVOA-C Bad News when I reached tier 5 because it had higher dps than m4a1 when you max it to 30 lvl. DPS is love, DPS is life...

@kamikazi21358 P416 is Imo one of the bad ar in the game. It cannot kill heavy armor in one shot even in stealth. Personally I directly go to Flor De Oro when I start a new game and grab my m4a1 especially in ghost mode. And I also used atpial and v2 grip just because it looked awesome :D

[kamikazi21358]

Stock the P416 is just ok imo, but upgraded it is a competitive weapon. I learned not to entirely trust stats: they are good pointers, but they lie. I use it just fine, even in tier mode. This is just my opinion though.

use "Her AK47"

frontal assault problems handled.

Problem with the M4 and the M16 is the front sight post that will block the scope view for longer shots. You could say that you don't need to make shots over 200m, but it's a disadvantage that the other rifles don't have.

I have a few favorites that I use:

G2 is a beam weapon if you want to land all your shots on target. Eats up ammo quickly and is relatively weak though.

R5 second highest damage after MK17 (excluding his/her AK). Hard recoil so it needs all the handling help there is.

AUG A3 great trajectory even with short barrel. Makes for a good AR sniper. The damage drop from a short barrel is less than with other rifles. Uses a 42 round magazine filled to 30, or 30 round magazine filled to 20 rounds for some reason.

416 all-around good gun. Damage, fire rate and recoil is good. Bullet drop is terrible with the short barrel, same as the AK47 I think, but it looks good in this setup.
