Assault Rifles
The first "list" opens the
AK-12

B
Neither one nor the other. The most average AR of all. The 650 RPM is average too, at long range - it kills quite well. But outside of its vacuum it simply does not looks good to competition with the rest of the other ARs.

Scar-H

A.
A great gun that I can recommend to anyone who knows how to point the center of aim at an opponent's body. Playing with it is a pleasure for the inner cyberscortsman that just screams "yes, me is showing incredible skilfulness!".

M416

A
Good damage, RPM, recoil, accuracy...he's almost perfect. Equilibrist in every sense. If you don't know what to get with an automatic weapon, take the M416, it won't disappoint... if you, of course, will tolerate it's recoil.

Sar-21

C
For a classic assault rifle it has little accuracy in the sight, for a bullpup it has little accuracy and rate of fire. Neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring. But it has a small recoil. This statement still does not save the SARah from oblivion and finding itself only in the hands of noobs or those who do not care about gun's performance.

AEK-971

Tripple S! Absolute class champion!
Do I need to tell you HOW much of an imbalance this machine is? If you take this diabolical machine in your hands on "Locker" or "Metro", the player, whether he's a BF lord or a beginner, he/she/it/they? will still start giving such a series of kills that other ARs just couldn't dream of. At long range it of course gives up and requires attention to reload timings, but otherwise the AEK sweeps away all the other machines and shows who is the real king of the assault caliber here.


Famas

B
French tried and tried and tried, but it's like the XONE in being a PS 4. It's not bad on its own, but compared to its speed brothers it has no clear advantages, but there are plenty of disadvantages. You can play with it, but you'll get bored with it very fast, because of overloading.

Aug A3

A
Not bad. Not bad at all. Very a pleasant weapon, although a boring one.

M16A4

C
A've called it as "Assistmaker" while playing. Best name for this PoS gun.

CZ805

B.
CopyDICE

QBZ-95-1

D! Incredible garbage!
I have no idea how to play with this gun. Unless I can ask some magicians to tell me how to use it...

ACE 23

A
CopyDICE

F2000

A
Best bullpup in its class. It has enough velocity and accuracy to shoot from the hip (from the hip? huh?), so it easily contends with SMGs and shotguns.

L85A2

B
Good AR, which is only in B because of the superiority of other bullpens. Otherwise it would have been worthy of the A tier.

AR-160
.
B
What. You. Such a thing?
I've played with it a lot more than I have with other SWs and after a while I can say one thing - after such a long time I don't understand the AR-160. I only put it above the AK-12 because of its higher rate of fire and the lowest first shot recoil in the class, but every time I caught myself thinking that the long full reload and high overall recoil are clearly not next to the Abakan's speed or Scar-H powerfullness.

Bulldog

A
I thought for a long time between the A and B dash and finally decided that the "Doggie" was worthy of a place in the A. This Scar-H with the magazine in front of the grip actually kills pretty well, in some cases shooting from the hip saves it, which its Scat-bro can't do.

AH-94

A
This is the destroyer of the M16A4. An absolute solo-target ripper, giving no chances at ranges up to 30 meters.
SMGs
MX-4
aka
"Windblower"

B
It's not a bad starting SMG, but it's nothing more than that. Compared to what comes next, it will look like nothing more than a "remember what you started with" weapon.

PP-2000

C
It is better to have the rate of fire from the hip than to die from lack of it.

UMP-45

B
It is a stick with two ends. On one side is the ability to work at a distance of up to 30 meters, on the other side is the questionable effectiveness in close combat. Strange thing, but not bad at all.

CBJ-MS

C
Chinese samurai.
joke for smort people.

PDW-R

B
CopyDICE

CZ-3A1
ака
"Skorpion"

Tripple S! The SMG Leader!
1000 RPM, more or less tolerable accuracy and recoil as for SMG...this video will tell you more about this gun than I can describe with my modest vocabulary:
https://youtu.be/ozcy6c7TwXw

JS2
ака
Sausage dancer

C
CopyDICE.

P90

A
"Rooster" sounds like a joke to this SG, showing only a reflection of his real nature. Short ranges for P90 like water for fish. Up to ~12 meters, TripleKill's are done without much strain.

UMP-9

B
Yes, it has good accuracy, but no one SMG is designed for long range. I don't deny that some people will like it, but most people won't like it, so they'd be better off with a carbine.

AS VAL

A
Even though VAL is considered the best SMG, his 20 rounds are a huge drain on adrenaline and it's harder to make a nice killstreak with it than Scorpion allows.

MP7

A
CopyDICE

SR-2

B
CopyDICE

MPX
ака
"Valkyrie"

A
CopyDICE

Groza-4

D! Sad gardage :(
Well...it's worse than the CBJ. Better take the "Windblower", at least it's much predictable. As someone from Russia, I am very disappointed that this pretty good weapon from reality shows so badly in the game.
LMGs
U-100 MK5

D! Smashy-trashy!
The recoil doesn't make up for the 590 RPM and 30 rounds in the magazine.

Type 88 LMG

C
CopyDICE

LSAT

B
Its simple recoil allows you to play from the suppression, great for beginners.

PKP Pecheneg

Tripple S! Incredible gun!
A man's machine gun that will not give up under any circumstances. This is too cool and brutal a machine gun from the A dash to be considered the best. But remember that you HAVE to learn to shoot single shots.

QBB-95-1

C
CopyDICE

M240B

B
The thing for long "Ratatatatatatata".

MG4

A
If you do not know which machine gun to take - take the MG4. All the characteristics are in good balance, and I meet this machine gun more often than others for a reason.

M249

A
CopyDICE

RPK-12

C
Simple recoil and accuracy still doesn't make up for DPS. I was often killed faster because of the low rate of fire and the same low damage.

M60E4

B
"The Pig" stubbornly moves to the C dash, but at 15 meters and beyond, it's nice to do ratatatatata.

RPK

A
The best assault rifle with a 40-round magazine.
For those in doubt, read (ONLY IN RUSSIAN): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816294041

AWS

rapper sonah

A
The most fun machine gun due to its rapid fire rate and fast reload.

L86A2

C
CopyDICE
Sniper rifles
All sniper rifles are pretty similar, and I even found a video describing this "sameness" phenomenon in full detail (ONLY IN RUSSIAN):
https://youtu.be/4Q0ydmaklTE

In fact, to be fair, I will immediately identify three rifles that differ from the rest in some way, even though I do not play with the others.

Scout Elite

D!
For many people comparing the same weapon characteristics in different games may seem strange, but I will now explain why so.
Of all the shooters, where I played with this rifle was Warface and the place of the "Scout" was clearly marked by its 5 rounds, fast ADS (entering the scope) and the worst chance of vanshots. In other words, it's a fast but not a kill rifle.
What is she in BF 4? I don't know, it just has reduced damage! And ADS is almost identical to the other snipers!
Not only is the damage less, but the other stats aren't higher.

SV-98
aka
Any sniper rifle that would be preferred

S,A,B
Of all the CopyDICE in this plan I would take the SV-98, just for the reason that it's a Russian rifle. You can take SRR-61 because it's Intervention from CoD, M98B because it's a cool Barret or L115, similar to AWP from CS.

SR338

B
It's a DMR with optics and more damage at all ranges. The optics make it play at long range better than the other DMRs, but do you really need 8 or 12X on the DMR?
Carbines
AK-5C

S! This weapon could remade the entire world!
The king of all starting weapons, #1 in its class. Able to defeat even the toughest opponents in the hands of the least skilled fighter.


ACW-R

A
It is essentially the opposite of the AK-5C with increased rate of fire and recoil. But the "Alan Kertz" gives both DPS and accuracy, while the ACW-R is only DPS, even if it is good.

SG553

A
CopyDICE. Except that the meaning of the bursts is not clear to me. But this machine is clearly worthy of attention.

АKU-12

B
I hope no one minds if the ACU is in B? Among other carbines, accuracy and rate of fire are objectively not enough to hit the A.

A-91

A
800 RPM and soft recoil? Sounds like a dream, but it's reality with this good one my spicy little boy omg I love it so much!

ACE 52

A
Big "Galil".

G36C

C
CopyDICE

M4

C
To have a rate of fire below ACW-R and ONLY burts? No, thank you.

ACE 21

A
Smol "Galil".

Type-95B-1

C
CopyDICE

Mtar-21

A
With the sound of a peashooter, this half-carabiner-half-SMG joyfully annihilates an enemy base while its user gets kicked for base raping (#rape is bad, but it's popular btw).

Groza-1

B
It's very worthy! Unlike its fellow SMG classmate, this "Groza" performs very well.

A bow in a shooter with a modern setting lolkekw xdddDD

D?
I don't understand you, just like you don't understand offsides.
Shotguns (or "Noob guns", if you wish)
QBS-09

D tier. You should be better.
When I write in transliteration from Russian to English, people often say it's some kind of Chinese. Well, this shotgun tried to talk to me in Chinese. As you understood, I didn't appreciate it.

870 MCS

B
Too ordinary a pump shotgun for it to have any right to be higher.

M1014

B
CopyDICE

Hawk 12G

A
It just has a lot of pellets. The pros are over, but solely because of that it is better than the other pump shotguns.

Сайга-12К

SSS! Нагибатор во плоти!
This legend from PAYDAY 2 still activates some parts of the brain when used, which leaves only the hunting instinct. You can also use it to summon DELETED USER
The pathetic DBV-12 tried to duplicate the success of the Saiga at the expense of a larger magazine, for which it was kicked off the tier list.


Spas-12

A
CopyDICE

UTS 15

B
Why B? Because this bench is not trustworthy. Although as a pump it's pretty cool, it's a good refill instead of a magazine, not a bad oneshot chanses...just DICE decided that Hawk is worthy of 21 pellets, and Bench (or "Wardrobe") is not.

DAO-12

A
A meme from DICE. Maybe this shotgun refers to Taoism.
DMR
All DMRs except the two mentioned are also CopyDICE. Yes, this is already completely contrary to the original concept of "objectivity" of the tier list, but what is the point of putting this tag on these identical guns, if they will just take up space in the guide? That's just it.

SKS

S.I'm sure you hated that dude with this stick
The SKS has a trivially higher rate of fire. I even played around a bit, checking the differences between the SKS and the others, and I'll be honest - there is simply no better DMR within its class. It's clearly easier to shoot than the rest of its class.

RFB

D
Bad. It's just uncomfortable to use, it obviously lacks precision.
Secondary
All small-caliber semiautomatic pistols

A and B
You have to look under a microscope to find a simple answer "which one is better". CZ and 45 are slow, but they have more damage, QSZ has the best rate of fire, the rest are average with little difference. You can safely run with only the P226 and not lose a gram of efficiency.

Shorty 12G

A
I'll be honest, for a sniper this unit is indispensable. It's very good where the distance is less than 20 meters, and that dude over there is acting like MacLeod.

G18

A
The only automatic pistol, which means that it is the best automatic pistol and among the others in its class it is also good. If only there were something to compare it to...

93R

C
Don't you call it an automatic, please. If it were an automatic, it would be as popular as the G18. A pistol with bursts is a bad idea in and of itself, and no one needs one with that kind of recoil.

.44 Magnum

B
It looks cool. It plays cool.

M412 Rex

B
Average rate of fire and fastest reload...only 200ms faster than the Unica 6, so B dash.

Unica 6 and SW40

A
The fastest revolvers in terms of rate of fire, and therefore the best.

Deagle 44

S tier! It is divine.!
It doesn't even need the specs, it's just a pocket DMR with space output in every sense.

Mare's leg

D tier, there are simply no such bad weapons...
A lever-action rifle that has DMR damage. What could have gone wrong? EVERYTHING.
End-up
Well, I think it's worth repeating the favorites:
AK-5C
- medium to long range (up to 75 meters)
AEK
- medium ranges (up to 40 meters)
Saiga
- close ranges (up to 20 meters)

The greatness and power of these guns is unmeasurable, it's simply impossible for them to compete on equal terms with the rest of the weapons, and I hope no one minds this arrangement. Yes, you could put ACW-R instead of AEK, but then the meaning of the "great three" would be small, putting weapons from the same class in it means no respect for the "top".

The worst:
Phantom bow
and
Mare's leg
Their main problem is that their skill threshold is too high and ineffective in most situations. Yes, the bow can do oneshotes and "leg" is effective at a distance, but the good if they are difficult to hit, so even against 2-3 or more opponents, they just do not give a chance to stand a chance.

Thanks for reading. I did this translation for well over a month due to some difficulties in my personal life.

AK-5C is the GOAT, perfect for medium range and deadly accurate for long range. Hip fire is pretty top notch too so its capable at close rand as well!
marijn211 Nov 25, 2023 @ 7:06am 
AK-5C I quite enjoy on Golmud, but when I go to maps with longer range like Paracel Storm or shorter like Locker it feels useless, getting killed with 2-4 shots by AR while Im emptying a mag of that
