S-tier
- V9S
- XP-54
- AKM
- R .357
- Lewis Gun
The V9S and the XP-54 are top choices for those playing as a Light build as they can provide you with high damage output or high-level accuracy. As for those who prefer playing with a Medium build, the AKM and the R .357 are excellent mid-range options. Heavy build weapons are usually niche, but the Lewis Gun being a nice all-around LMG places it near the top of the list.
A-tier
- M11
- Model 1887
- Flamethrower
- SA1216
If there’s one thing the weapons in this tier have in common, it’s that they’re all extremely efficient at dealing damage from close range. If your playstyle involves getting up close and personal, then you’ll want to try these weapons.
B-tier
- SR-84
- Sword
- LH1
- FCAR
- Sledgehammer
These weapons are still great at what they do, but they come with some pretty obvious downsides. These arms might require a specific loadout to unlock their potential or may only be effective in certain scenarios. Whatever the case may be, these weapons are still worth giving a try.
