📋 Why This Guide Helps
After testing all 48+ weapons across 1,000+ matches, we've identified clear patterns for what works in different situations. This guide helps you skip the trial-and-error phase and go straight to weapons that match your playstyle.
🎮 By Playstyle
Aggressive (Rush & Close Combat)
If you push enemies, flank constantly, and love close-quarters battles:
- Primary: SGX (SMG), KV9 (SMG), M4A1 (Carbine)
- Backup: M1014 (Shotgun)
- Why: High fire rate, fast ADS, excellent hip-fire
Balanced (All-Around Versatility)
If you adapt to different ranges and play tactical squad combat:
- Primary: M433 (AR), SOR-556 MK2 (AR), AK4D (AR)
- Backup: L110 (LMG) for Support players
- Why: Effective 0-50m, controllable recoil, good damage
Defensive (Long Range & Positioning)
If you hold positions, snipe, and prefer long-range engagements:
- Primary: LMR-27 (DMR), M2010-ESR (Sniper)
- Backup: M250 (LMG) for suppressive fire
- Why: One-shot headshots, accurate at 50m+
🏆 By Game Mode
Battle Royale (100-Player, Large Map)
Long matches (15-25 min) require versatile weapons for varied combat:
- Best: Assault Rifles (M433, AK4D)
- Avoid: Shotguns (limited to buildings only)
- Strategy: Pick weapons good at 10-50m range
Gauntlet Mode (Fast-Paced, 10-15 Min)
Constant action in smaller circle requires aggressive weapons:
- Best: SMGs (KV9, SGX), Carbines (M4A1)
- Avoid: Snipers (too slow for fast circles)
- Strategy: High fire rate + mobility wins
Squad vs Solo
Team composition affects weapon choice:
- Squad: Pick Support with LMG for team utility
- Solo: Pick Assault/Engineer for self-sufficiency
- Tip: Coordinate class picks in squads
