Would probably be helpful with a D tier. There are a few guns in A tier that would probably get a bump up such as ashot and revolver because they are such efficient dispensers for their ammo type.

[@paint4r]

You didn't mention the main upside of the kalash over the bulldog is it has a faster ROF. I prefer it because of this.

[@r-fitz9739]

My last playthrough my go-to loadout was the Revolver, Ashot, and Tikhar. My reasoning: Simple, hard-hitting reliability. To many times has the AK, Bastard, and Bulldog jammed up on me after simply walking for 5 minutes.

[@BINGUSBALL]

I completely agree with this vid, great

[@Lav_TheWardenX]

for me id put the Valve in S (Valve with the Heavy stock, long barrel, irons, no mag and a green laser) Because i always hit headshots even from ranges most would call bs on but i'm just used to irons, irons in any fps game is my prefered sight even on snipers, ran with the Valve through Last light, exodus and sam's story always paired it up with the ashot to make up for close range(for sam's story the m1911) so its probably just me being attached to my trusty sniper but even if its not an S id still put it high A when paired with the right gun and throwables such as the knifes

It would've been badass if dlc weapons could be used in the base game

[@sbibe123]

Man, Sam's 1911 is so sexy. Sick and tired of seeing revolvers. Mauser in last light was pretty cool.

[@CoffeeFiend1]

@@sbibe123 Now Exodus has modding support and people are literally making fan custom maps and campaigns I'm absolutely astounded that no one is playing around with things in the base game like increasing/decreasing weapon slots, adding in weapons from DLC, adding in weapons earlier, removing weapons etc. I've wanted to play Ranger NG+ with just 2 weapons like old Metro but it's 3 weapons or 1 weapon. I'd never do 1 weapon because whilst I'm good enough to do it, it's just so annoyingly immersion breaking that it would kill it for me, there's no reason he would just carry 1 weapon around. I'd also love if modders would remove the pneumatic slot and if you go with 3 weapons 1 of them has to be something resembling a pistol.

The problem with most weapons is in stealth and out of stealth. Bastard and Pistol both perform the same in stealth and can one shot headshot anything but heavy armor enemies. But in combat in terms of body shots pistol does better, but again if you focus on head shots even in combat the bastard does better since it can throw more bullets at the enemies head faster. The bastard requires more skill to use then the pistol as such it's unfun to play with even with a 50 or 100 drum mag. However, I normally take it with me in The Caspian to dump the ammo I collected in The Volga. The Hellsing, god I wish there was a system in game on creating a clean new game where it will ask you if you want to have the hellsing instead of the Tikhar if you have the right achievements. Because up until the dead city they are the same weapon. But when you include the dead city and the absolute stupid damage that the Railgun upgrade brings and how it breaks the game. I wish The Taiga had been completed as originally envisioned, so we could have had more fun with the Hellsing. The Valve is meant for The Caspian. Giant stupid open spaces where you can easily see a roadblock ahead, pull over and pick off the fools. Outside of this level it's honestly not good unless you spec it for close range since the Tikhar and bulldog can use most of its upgrades and are more versatile. The only changes I would make is minigun in F tier literally only pick it up to get the kill achievement with and never use it. And put Pistol in S tier it deals to much damage and if you go with 6-cylinder double action you can mag dump and drop anything. It's a gun that the moment you get it you don't have to worry about it not being useful. Tikhar exists to be a cheap ammo gun in the early/mid game and it requires skill to use it properly due it having no good attachments until late The Caspian. Half-way through The Caspian after getting several upgrades they then fill the same stealth role, but the revolver still out damages the Tikhar with the 6-cylinder double action.

[@madhatter2705]

I've played metro exodus for almost 300 hrs by now and I just started using weapons id never of used before and using attachments I would of never used.

[@Piter_1032]

I disagree with valve, revolver and bulldog. Valve can kill enemy (even two) with one shot and if you have magazine’s upgrade to semi-automatic you have such a better revolver. If you’re good the ammo is cheap. Bulldog is good but rate of fire is slow and when you aim it is unstable. Kalash and Bulldog for me they are on the same level tier. One have better rate of fire, the best stability and lowest recoil in game, second have the best damage in this weapons class so you don't waste too much ammo, but assault rifle ammo is cheap and common. Revolver should be S, you can modify it to sniper, semi-automatic rifle and silent version of it. Btw Bastard is even worse. You can only have 120 ammo and this ammo is uncommon and this ammo is expensive for the bastard.

[@IcedCoffeeGaming]

What is the use case though, Valve killing 2 enemies in one shot doesn't seem to be something that will happen frequently. Against human enemies that die in 1 headshot Kalash, Bulldog, Tikhar dominate as they have the cheapest ammo, fastest fire rate, and ability to DPS beasts. IMO no weapon should be used full auto due to resource constraints. On ranger hardcore, especially on NG+ with tougher enemies/helmet option the Valve can only really 1 shot headshot but it has a poor fire rate and expensive ammo. Revolver is decent but what is the use case? It won't 1 shot the body on ranger hardcore and its ammo is more expensive than Kalash/Tikhar so it gets outclassed by those vs humans, and outclassed by shotguns vs beasts. As for the sniping thing, kalash/bulldog/tikhar can have scopes and be used in this format. The bastard, though not as good as the kalash/bulldog/tikhar, still can rapidly 1 tap if you are extremely precise and controlled. It's not as efficient as these weapons but it is viable.

[@light4299]

Me personally will swap revolver and bastard. Because i really love bastard because if you get headshot IT IS one shot and especially on ranger hardcore IT IS stronger because enemies are weaker same as you.

[@light4299]

@@IcedCoffeeGaming honestly for me IS better that IT uses pistol ammo because i like to have bastard and kalash at the same tíme and i have Exodus on PS4 pro and for me i Dont know how but i am aiming with bastard better and revolver IS good but for me when i miss shot then i am dead when i am going against Beasts and when i need to reload kalash or its jammed i just pull out bastard and spray anyone who IS before me

[@mertdemiroral6437]

Ak is always jamming

[@IcedCoffeeGaming]

It is likely from the weapon being too dirty, do you rotate weapons?

[@mertdemiroral6437]

@@IcedCoffeeGaming I move around with tikhar

[@khoseftadros2775]

So I know this is late, but I have a few disagreements I am not a big fan of the Bulldog and mainly because of its extremely slow fire rate, so fighting enemies with it was annoying where trying to tap fire counts as auto fire and then it jams because I was doing it too much XD, if it wasn't for the high Damage I would've put it below the Kalash. I'd definitely put it the Shambler below the Ashot, the Shambler is pretty damn good with its good ammo capacity and decent damage, but it doesn't have the same damage range the Ashot has as well as its base damage as well. one could argue the Ashot has only two shots, but the reload is so fast that it may as well not count as a reload. I will nitpick and say it wouldn't make sense that the Bastard gun would hold Kalash 5.45 and be considered an SMG XD

[@dustytibbins7064]

I disagree. My priority in selecting weapons is how fast a weapon can clear strong enemies and clear a swarm. So, in my opinion the Kalash and Bastard are the S Tier weapons due to high ammo capacity magazines, faster rate of fire (Bastard actually has higher DPS than Kalash), and how you can pretty much make them viable through the entire game with weapon upgrades you can grab super early in Volga. Also, I rank the Helsing FAR above the Tikhar because you can kill with body shots and the Pneumatic system on the Helsing won't run out even if you fire off all your ammo. Tikhar on the other hand needs to be pumped every 5-6 shots if you want to do more than a tiny bit of damage.

[@IcedCoffeeGaming]

Tikhar fire ammo 1 shots most beasts. Can 1 tap 5-8 enemies before needing pumped, cheapest ammo, default silent (in a stealth game). Helsing suffers from slow fire rate, if fully upgraded it is great, but we are talking way late endgame or NG+, ammo is more expensive and costly to craft. Helsing NG+ is slightly worse than Tikhar, as Tikhar alternate ammo 1 shots most creatures and is cheaper, Helsing punishes you more for missing and has higher costs for ammo. Upside is reusable basic bolts but enemy animations can cause you to miss shots and shoot out of bounds. Bastard is a good weapon but it suffers vs beasts, kalash ammo is cheaper to create and in this game that really matters, so Bastard slightly out damages Kalash, gets outshined by Bulldog late game and just needs its own ammo type, because revolver ammo is expensive to craft.

[@capatheist]

So heres a tip... If you knew thats what you wanted to do. Make the title: weapon tier list (for ranger/hardcore diffculty) Or something else that lets the audience know this video is much more specific than the weapon tier list 90% of the people who click this thought they were going to watch... I know that will draw less views... But you get to be honest as a creator
