COD Bo4 Zombies Weapons Ranked Worst to Best

Finally, Bo4 has been completed. Tests started in October of 2023 and after over 6 months, this bo4 ranking is finally ready. Thanks for being patient throughout this process, and thank you for the continued support on this channel. Obviously with some bo4 weapons not being talked about much, some questions may be raised from this video. Feel free to ask away for help in the comments, as I’ve thoroughly used every weapon in this game. With that being said, I hope you enjoy the video and hopefully you’ll learn something new!

As someone who plays bo4 religiously. This was entertaining. As a spitfire user, faster ADS and always done swiftly with deadshot. The escargot actually got buffed... you can now ads with it. You also know the havelina's reload is bad when its worse than the pellington from cold war. Same thing happened with me and the VKM, the hindsight on 90% of the guns are so much better in 2024.

The koshkas op mod is entirely based on snappy quickscopes as it gradually tightens the hipfire as you scope down rather than tighten all at once when you scope in, its very much catered to those who are really good with firing while scoping in rather than waiting for the entire ads animation and most people arent going to notice it

Very good video as always! No surprise to see Mr. Rocket Launcher at number 1. But I was surprised to see the VKM and Trench Gun up so high. Never use those weapons so had no idea how good they can be. I take it that you won't be doing ranking videos for the non Treyarch games and the post BO4 Treyarch games? Wish you'd do ones for WWII and IW but I get it, those games aren't for everyone. Anyways great video!

[@h2owl205]

[@OrochiJr97]

I've watching your content since your Crash Team Racing 2019 days.

[@nielsmnst1756]

First of all the spitfire shreds boss zombies, and secondly the spitfire has a lot of recoil but you don't have to hold down the trigger, you can shoot little bursts and it'll still kill quickly. It's one of the safest guns to use with not a lot of ammo but it's a wall weapon and kills forever it is one of the best un-upgraded guns. And the reason why this smg is loved is because the micro mg for example is a black market gun, so you need to buy it from there to be able to put on attachements, the spitfire is free. So you can see the trend with the dlc guns. But yeah still really enjoyed the video man, much love! + you can always use bandolier bandit for more ammo*

[@ashes_blue]

Yeah, it’s the ultimate backup weapon imo, not a primary

[@zemicolon9981]

[@yeetyeet486]

Just a liiittle tip (Love the vid so far btw) the red and pink cards look really similar and this is because both of the colors you used are high contrast and they are both warm colors, you can fix this by making the pink card a lighter shade of pink

[@Eazy_P_40]

Ya the main reason I made those 2 look similar of all colors is because a tactical rifle is still basically an AR. Regardless we won’t really have to deal with it after this video since tac rifles are really only in bo4.

[@Eazy_P_40]

Once you unlock it of course, it’s a must have attachment

[@joshuacapron8358]

Totally. Then it becomes very fun to use. Speaking of which, I noticed a while ago that the Havelina has its own melee attack in Zombies that overrides whatever melee weapon you have. It's just the gun butt from multi-player that I think is weaker or same damage as the starting combat knife. Kinda funny how that turned out. Would that alter anything regarding its placement on this list or no?

[@Eazy_P_40]

@@joshuacapron8358 I actually heard about this but it was after the tests were all done. I didn’t check myself, but regardless it wouldn’t change spots unless it had a drastic increase in melee damage (which I assume is not the case)

[@sladeotw]

For the ballistic knife on Blood of the dead if you do the invisibility glitch, could work but it will get boring

[@OleonWho]

I’m curious if the Deadshot modifier pushes the Mozu and Vendetta damage to one shot at health cap

[@Eazy_P_40]

I’ve done a little bit of testing with Deadshot modifier, I don’t think they’d be 1 shot past 35, maybe 1 shot on 34 but at best it would just pop the head off on either 34 or 35.

[@dustyrabbit9234]

[@bobthebuilder9509]

NFS Carbon music at the start? Someone’s got a good taste! Throughout this video you mention the Suppressor as an attachment. Does it increase the powerup cap per round, or just increases the odds of getting a powerup earlier from kills? Because if it’s just the latter, I don’t see a reason why we should use it versus some other QoL attachment like the Stock. Also, I think you can still argue for High Caliber on the SDM and Outlaw versus another attachment like the Stabilizer because it’ll deal more damage to boss zombies to the head.

[@Eazy_P_40]

1. Suppressor was not tested to a massive extent to the point where I know exactly how much it benefits. However, I might make an attachment ranking, and if I do it’ll be tested more. (I still think it’s definitely worth) 2. Unless you’re playing BOTD, I don’t see a reason to have high cal on a weapon to help kill boss zombies and even then I still don’t think it’s necessary.

[@rotz394]

Glad to see the S6 Stingray and Tigershark are as good as I thought they were.

[@pterodactyl662]

seeing this list made me realize how the guns in bo4 are insanely good compared to past games

[@xp7955]

Small suggestion: would you be interested in further ranking the weapons by tiers? Or saying for each weapon it's best as a primary/secondary, and best for training/camping/bosses/Easter eggs? Or even further, training small hordes at a time, full hordes, killing zombies as you see them, using a clearing weapon running the map, how good it can be at saving you when you're cornered, etc?

Somewhat yes, but tiers will sorta be included in the Weapon Ranking Series video

[@pastorreyna2202]

I think that the Hades is a pretty good weapon that's just my opinion tho 😊

[@macminty_]

Solid list, but I would definitely push back on the ranking of the VKM. Maybe it does excel in some hyper-specific perk setup/camping strat, but outside of that, it is borderline unusable in almost every situation, which you correctly pointed out in the video. I understand that the weapons are being ranked when they are at their best, but I'm sure you agree that calling the VKM the 3rd best weapon in Bo4 would be inaccurate for most of the playerbase who aren't tailoring their setup to specifically optimize the utility of the VKM. Perhaps this is more of a side effect of the method you used to rank the weapons, but in any case, I think it is slightly misplaced compared to every other weapon on the list which I feel is very fairly ranked.

[@Eazy_P_40]

I recommend giving it a shot, I ran about 10 tests with the VKM before placing it there and I’m very confident with its placement. Bo4 doesn’t have much room for training strats, camping is much more prevalent and because of this it wouldn’t make much sense to penalize it that much for not being as effective when training. As for the perks, that’s why in the criteria I said that all perk loadouts will be fully taken into account for this ranking because at the end of the day, each weapon has specific perk setups that benefits them most, Hellion Salvo is the same way since you need PhD but I didn’t rank it any lower. If you’re high rounding, you’re gonna almost always want PhD and Stronghold anyway, which are the 2 most important perks for the VKM (wail is very helpful too but can get away with it sometimes as long as you’re utilizing it well) Would I recommend it to a new player? No, but this isn’t about that, it’s about what weapons perform the best, and even though I still am not a huge fan of the weapon, it’s absurd when you’re camping and it fits bo4’s system almost perfectly.

[@clemenspommer9859]

Hey Eazy P 40 i have two questions. What does High Cal. 1 and 2 exactly do ? And the same for FMJ 1 and 2.

[@Eazy_P_40]

High Caliber 1 increases the headshot damage. Almost every single weapon has an extra round of 1 shot capabilities with high caliber, but the AN-94 actually has 2 extra rounds of it. High Caliber 2 increases the body damage supposedly but I didn’t notice too much out of it, I only use it if there’s nothing else great to use. FMJ 1 and 2 are not supposed to help the penetration, but rather do a better job against boss zombies, however I didn’t notice anything crazy when using them so again I don’t think they’re anything special. I recommend High Caliber 1, other 3 I’d use only if you’ve got an extra slot.

[@Loris71734]

Let’s goooooo

[@xpanserbjorne]

On the Hellion Salvo I found that quick lockon was actually a downgrade due to how inconsistent the tracking rockets were and how often it would cause them to miss the target vs just free aiming it. I haven't played BO4 in a very long time so was the tracking ever buffed?

[@Eazy_P_40]

No but I’d still put it on in case (most likely won’t need it but won’t hurt in case you do)

[@Eazy_P_40]

I didn’t notice any bonus collat damage from fmj 2. Same with fmj 1

[@takeoutfromchina3166]

It's weird seeing the Rampart-17 that low considering how much of a powerhouse it is in Multiplayer and Outbreak. Designed to be a headshot monster only to be an upper-body muncher in Zombies is really an odd design choice. Maybe there's a combo that makes it work, but I doubt so considering all of the research you did.

[@Eazy_P_40]

The only thing it might be above average for is taking out boss zombies, but there’s so many other weapons that also take out boss zombies quickly combined with the fact that the value for boss zombie killing weapons drop in Bo4 since special weapons exist.
