[@xltsalad8100]

I have a lot of issues with this tier list. The revolver for one is practically useless endgame so I would move it to high c low b tier. The ak-74 is a fantastic weapon but the m16 is just better. I would switch those two out. The lar is an easy s tier. Same with the thumper. The famas is great as well, but only when you saw off the sights. High c-low b tier. The skorpion is one of the best end game side arms, and is the only smg in the game small enough to carry as a pistol. A tier. The deagle if you actually have ammo for it is the second best pistol, a tier. And the mk 2 is the best. S tier. The repeater does no damage and can’t even mount a scope. Low D tier. The sv-98 is incredibly hard to find and offers virtually no traits that can out perform the common 308 sniper. High D- low c tier. This take may be controversial but the fx-45 takes about 4 shots before it’s ruined. High D tier. The Glock and cz-75 are the best pistols in the game besides the mk 2 and deagle, high B - low a tier

you lost me at Skorpion I'm afraid, 12 slots is not small enough to be considered a pistol, it won't fit in a holster (goes on your back like a rifle though) and it is a terrible calibre.

[@Pastel_Iridescence]

100% disagree with taking the BK-12 over the BK-18. BK-18 may have less ammo but since it’s a 7.62x39 it can one tap anybody without body protection out to a decent range with a chest hit or above. It’s extremely underrated.

[@chrisnorman1430]

For me the BK-18 fills the same role as the IJ, it's not that it's amazing or anything, but it gets the job done and it's there when you need it. You might want an SKS over a BK but that doesn't mean you're gonna find it, BK-18 is everywhere and gives you the ability to take people down at range where the BK-12 limits you to close range engagements.

[@thomasmaughan1016]

Bk 18 is better than any shotgun IMO.

[@7PlayingWithFire7]

​@thomasmaughan1016 bk18 is waaayy superior to single barrel shotgun. Not double barrel tho.

[@cfs7338]

The Repeater is F-tier material. It has no power and the reload time is so slow that most pistols are preferable. In no scenario is it better than the BK-18 which is useful against all players without body armour. The sawed-off shotgun is borderline S-tier as you can KO plate carriers (even from a distance) with the double-shot function

[@nathanboyle7573]

Disrespect on the BK 18. 762 from any gun is a one-hit kill and so is 556. It doesn't matter if you come against someone with an M4 that they happen to Woof do the respawn at a riffy, you shoot this and hit somebody anywhere in the body and they're dead if they don't have any body armor. It's also a great transition into the cr527

[@nathanboyle7573]

Also of the three big AKs the akm was nerfed in regards to damage and does the least amount of damage of the assault rifles in the game. The AK-74 does 96 damaged in the akm does 93 the AK 101 does 97 is tied in damage with the M4. The 74 is also the most stable in regards to recoil of the 3 AKs

[@ghostman7817]

The BK18 is a menace if you've just spawned in.

The SV 98 can run a night vision scope though. A lot of snipers didnt have that luxury, and i believe that was a huge reason behind its release. The night vision scopes are honestly nasty to run at tier 3 military zones, people feel safer running around with nvgs. Its easily the second best late game sniper behind the SVD ive used it a lot. Its a absolute machine of a sniper rifle. Theres no intelligent reason to run any of the other bolt actions the 6x does fine, maybe the blaze but I havent had to shoot someone twice with the 98 yet so.

SV 98 is a waste to use a night vision scope, especially when you've got a gun like the Dmr with 308 and it's semi auto. You mind as well just use the SV 98 with another scope. And let's not forget about the Svd it also fires the same round as SV 98 and it's semi auto. Most bolt actions just will always be outclassed. Still usable but outclassed.

[@IEatBooty4MyDepression]

@koreancowboy42 yeah but thats why this gun. I have seen ONE dmr. I have seen SEVERAL of these since they dropped just weeks ago lol. It COULD use access to suppressors though...i thought the whole point of the rifle was to introduce a bolt action thats military attachment friendly. Either way, yall are hating. I play solo I dont see many DMRs lol. This gun has been so reliable for me, i used to main the mosin but this gun is pretty easy to find post mosin. The nvg scopes are nasty too, but its a late game "I have way too much space" kind of deal. I feel like yall play pvp servers or something cause availability and such isnt a concern for yall lol.

I have been a dayZ player for the longest time, but it quit literally a week before 1.25 dropped. I see everybody trashing the SV-98.

I agree with most of this, except where you ranked the Amphibia-S. Yeah it's ammo is useless for killing players, but the ammo is very common, the durability of the gun is decent, it silently takes out zeds without having to constantly maintain a separate suppressor, and the mags aren't all that rare either. Absolutely S-tier pistol. Serves it's purpose perfectly. This is the only gun in DayZ that I can find very early on after spawning and will still be carrying once I am fully kitted hours later. Actually I think I'd also move the SVAL (SVAD?) up a tier or two. The whole internal suppressor thing is enough for put almost any weapon near S tier, and it takes lots of optics that are very useful. Not just ones for long ranges either, which I think is very overlooked in this video. Uncuepa only really talks about long range scopes, but things like Reflex Sight are extremely useful as well.

You can add night vision on the SV 98. This makes it the only sniper you can use at night. On some servers that’s a bonus.

[@escopetapesadaverde]

It will forever annoy me that they gave the Desert Eagle it's weakest available caliber, even though I doubt it'd be used by ANYONE if it shot .44 or .50 AE

[@jjjjjjjj2866]

The only reason I would take the 74 over the 101 is because the mags are easier to find. 101 does like 20 more damage. If the mags weren’t so hard to find that gun would be supreme to the 74

[@AtlasJay]

Genuinely agree with the ENTIRE list - except ASVAL should be A tier. Couple the VAL with the 30 round Viky mags, some AP ammo & the 4x Acog - literally my number 1 favorite setup in the game. Uses 1/2 as many gun cleaning kits because of integral suppressor, quiet enough for zombies and rips players apart CQB.

[@lordfarquaadgaming9316]

thank you for the tierlist dayz tierlist man

[@uncuepadayz]

thank you for the first comment of new channel, big moves for both of us

[@MaboDayZ]

I would usually disagree and say SKS and FAL deserve S tier but the lack of scopes available for SKS and the rarity of the FAL do make sense in dropping it down. Totally agree with most of these, perhaps I will make a similar video! and you also made some great points about the balance & suggestions. Been a minute since I have seen you on my feed! Miss you mate!

[@uncuepadayz]

Always happy to see Mabo pop up, always will be my tv cohost

[@Ruvlyyy]

famas in d tier is crazy its easily one of the best guns especially on namalsk

[@steezygoon9229]

I think why ppl compare 308 to 7.62x51r is that they get confused on them both being 30 cal bullets

[@Sarcastic_Watch]

I agree with everything…. But honestly I’d take an m16 over m4. The iron sights are so accurate at range and the burst for close up just feels so clean.

[@RustyBear]

Ye M16 should go up 1 spot. It’s just that good

[@aleski6506]

thats crazy lmao, considering all sights in dayz are pinpoint accurate since your character automatically perfectly aims through them like in every shooter game.

[@wymonwatson1309]

A mosin with a hunting scope would be amazing.

[@boydy7351]

Sks arguably lower until they add the stripper clip back.

[@debbiemillard1612]

As someone who loves guns and knowledge of firearms .380 auto would most definitely put someone down

[@patrikmolnar4910]

difference between thoose AUG,s are the longer barrel variant is a light support role while the shorter barrel variant is for infantry. the LMG variant has different bolt system cause if they fire a lot that barrel gets really hot, so they cant leave the bolt system there so they just basicly put the bolt in the back of the stock 🤓💅

[@un1d]

I’m not too far into the video but placing the fnx, for which the ammo, magazines, and guns themselves are everywhere and which is fantastic at fighting zombies in the same tier as a pistol that shoots the same ammo and does the same damage but has a smaller mag size and with much rarer magazines seems very strange to me. Also you underrate the SSG. Contrary to the CR and the Pioneer the gun is very easily findeable early game and the mags especially are literally everywhere (with them dropping all the time from police zombies). Meanwhile I think I have found like 5 cr mags in all my playtime ever. That combined with an integral scope means that until you have a proper high caliber scoped gun this thing is a very good placeholder.

[@balljaw7554]

Ngl lately i've been finding p1's more often than all other pistols, and its not bad.

[@Hammybone18]

Good thing the Mosin takes a 7.62x54

[@HzWn]

Puttin famas at D tier just feels wrong. Best CQB gun in the game.

[@BoriZ123]

A 50 bmg awp variant would be exotic

[@hawkhunter5060]

I watch and I weep. AKs are in different tiers though they are practically the same (all of them A tier), besides the AKM (S tier) that should be a tier above bcs of Drum mag enables massive amounts of pre firing around corners when it comes to clearing buildings. Same goes for M16 (S tier), a beast of a gun found on most of the map that has absolutely unforgiving DPS and takes a Drum and Suppressor (Honestly no need for either of them BCS the gun is a beast but its a great option to have for CQB - Mid range madness). For some cursed reason Le Mas (A tier) the pocket rocket M4A1 imitation is in D tier (like why?). Like the Le Mas, the Deagle (S tier) is a total pocket rocket that can easily knock plates and is an amazing rat gun. Amphibia (S tier) is undeniably godlike for clearing zombies wherever you are (and the fact that ammo comes in boxes of 50 rounds). SV98 (A tier) and Savanna (A tier) are both good but the CZ550 has a bit too much recoil to see where your shots are landing. And lastly the noobtube is a tier above S tier bcs it can literally kill you through walls and ceilings.

[@jeffday665]

I’ll be honest the ak74u was always half decent as a beginner mid tier defensive weapon but I shot that thing last night and holy cow the recoil feels like crazy now. I don’t know if it was ever that bad cuz I’ve killed people before with it but never that bad

[@Scooterr2298]

Randomly came across this, very funny and immediately I was intrigued.

[@fredchain58]

IJ70 should be B tier or A compared to 22, doesn’t attract more zombies and kills helmeted zombies easier than 22

[@TTV_MUNKEE]

My favorite video of all time gets a sequel

[@maxokream6269]

All time is crazy

[@ThomasF4u]

the mosin wont 1 hit knock someone with a plate whereas the sv 98 and 308 rifles do which is why i personaly will always go for a sv 98 or 308 gun over the mosin

[@notcheese8177]

No idea what it's like on pc but on xbox feels like m79 should be in S tier, it is nearly impossible to go to nwaf on any official server above 30 pop and not get thumper pvped by a 5 man duper group and if you do manage to kill them you're set for life on ammo for it

[@user-gy5es9yp7w]

The sawed-off Mosin (proper name, Obrez) is my favorite gun.

[@LucaBlu-q8z]

Well if any bullet goes in your eye it will fucking hurt

[@corz90]

Amphibia has to be S Tier ‼

[@markokovacs9357]

You are wrong about the 74 vs 101. The damage values are changed by the guns and not predetermined by the ammo. The 74 starts off with 80.5 damage and the 101 starts with 96.72. So if you have to choose between the 2, the 101 comes out on top in every scenario. I'd even say the 101 is better than the aug a3 (it has one of the worst recoil patterns in the game).

[@aleski6506]

Nope, both are basically the exact same. 2 shot uncon with a plate and 5 to kill. There is no functional difference. you could even say the 74 is better since it can use 45 rd mags

[@jacklikescats]

Truly had no idea that 5.45 was better than 5.56. I wonder why the AK 101 is limited to tier 4 while the 74 is tier 3?

[@aleski6506]

It really isn't, AKM, 101, 74 and M4 have functionally the same exact damage, time to kill and shock damage. Two torso shots to uncon and then about 5 in total to fullkill.

[@jacklikescats]

@@aleski6506 nah, in the system 5.45 has hardcoded damage properties better than 5.56

[@godlypsycho]

Honestly did not know there was this many guns in the game. Feels like there's like... 10...

[@Crispy_DAWG]

I literally found a DMR with 2 20 round mags and 4 regular mags after not playing for years. I stashed it on an official server and refuse to die with it lol, but maybe I’m just letting it waste away.

[@anjanieko702]

get a fully ghilie suit and rat with it, youll get loads of kills

[@sliceofcheese8360]

Been playing day z for 3 years, never seen the derringer, or the single shot shotgun ever.

[@TheoOConnell]

the 5.45 x 39 tumbles more wildly than the 5.56x45 and tends to slip through and penetrate deeper, maybe they're trying to emulate that???Another fun fact!! is that the 357 seems to be a wad cutter round for target practice or a simi jacketed flat nose round, which are illegal to use as a self-defense round in the USA due to over penetration and its ability to defeat Armour. Too much power for the fed lol. 45 is a slow but hard hitting round too. But yea totally, I think pistols should have more close range knock down power. The round your using matters in reality but will we see it in dayZ?
