The Best: ASSAULT WEAPONS

What are the best weapons in Enlisted? What are the best SMGs/submachine guns in Enlisted? What are the best shotguns in Enlisted? Is the MP 43/1 (StG 44) the best weapon in Enlisted? Is the Thompson the best weapon in Enlisted? Is the PPSh-41 the best weapon in Enlisted? I answer all of these questions and more in this video.

The FNAB-43 is actually one my favorite smg's in the game, I prefer it over the mp-40. At max upgrades it hit's pretty hard and does quite well at mid range.

[@MajorMcDonalds]

Agreed, it’s actually pretty decent in terms of power and quite fun to use which is the main thing

[@johnjaeger2968]

I like the sight on it. Very unobtrusive. And you can switch over to selective fire which, while not as accurate as a rifle, can really help you get better shots off mid range

[@Dragonskincollector]

FNAB-43 with slow fire rate is actually very controllable, I can just "walk" my hit from torso to head. Compare to M3 gesase gun .45 acp the FNAB's 9mm bullet travel faster with a flatter trajectory, which is very suitable for Normady's maps which often has large open field.

[@B52StratoBomber]

On Console the FNAB is the best midrange SMG cause its one of the few you can Control quiet easy at fullauto.

[@digitaal_boog]

Yeah I still tend to have one guy with one in my assault squads, just because it’s better than most smgs at mid range, and better than rifles up close

[@lear_the_cat]

About ZK-383 you forgot about 1 special ability... it's an MG while being SMG. Use bipods and it will have a little recoil.

[@wolffvonotto5873]

The MP 717 (r) is my new favorite simply because all the Soviet players say how op it is before realizing what it is

[@wintersal449]

FNAB-43 is probably my favorite smg in the game (haven't tried the gold order ones yet, heard the soumi in Moscow is amazing) The Tunisia premium squad that all use the FNAB was 100% worth it and helped make Axis Tunisia bearable

[@AKX-DTGRSMP]

The zk 383 actually has a niche. unlike other assault weapon, when you deploy it on the ground it negate almost all recoil making it a LMG hybrid. Better than the breda but uncompareable to other axis LMG so maybe use it in a engineer squad if you use one.

[@kanonenbootk-2950]

It was designed as a Squad machine gun irl lol

[@ErikAdalbertvanNagel]

You way underrated FNAB, its sights just perfect and very controlable. Also the Schmeisser has insane range and accuracy (I know it's a golden card weapon but still)

[@admiralsogga7842]

Great video, only criticism would be the fact that you said the MP43 had a hit-power of over 10 when fully upgraded whereas its only 9.6 and that you didn't rank the MP-3008 either but I get that those where only minor mistakes overall. Other than that, keep up the insanely good work as your currently one of the best Enlisted content creators out there.

[@MajorMcDonalds]

Haha yeah you are right, the MP43 doesn’t do 10 damage, but I deliberately ranked it up for dramatic effect (9.6 is still higher than anything else that currently exists for assault weapons so in my mind it made little difference haha), and the MP 3008 when I looked at it did not look like a fantastic weapon so I didn’t include it - maybe I’m wrong? As I said it is personal preference mostly which ones are better so I could be wrong :) But thank you for those kind words! Really appreciate it!

[@larrynoidea1191]

My favourite is the MP 40 it just feels right

[@zombiekillerr9764]

Also when you got to the Thompson's. The first one you shown my only issue with why I likely wouldn't use it is mostly the fire rate, as well as the very noticeable and jarring fact that it obscures the top part of the ironsights making it very hard to see where the bullets are going. As for the second one you shown I would much prefer this version because like I mentioned with the previous tompson, the ironsights are not obstructed because of the fire rate. Now so far I wish there was the drum mag version of the Chicago typewriter (M1928 Tompson) Front grip handle, 50 round drum mags, and a muzzlebreak, but looks alot like the second tompson I mentioned. But with the previously mentioned features.

[@Kvorning0]

fire stuff bro. BUT i diss agree on the sten i think it should be at like nr16 its acttually good and i enjoy it plus i use the m3a1 maax upgraded aswell and oh my god is it good. use it if its amaxed out

One I unlocked mp38 in Moscow total game changer for me.

[@Kahleem-RAHTheAQUARIUS2001]

The Winchester (shotgun version) the fact that it's a pump that shoots fast is why I love it so reliable in my opinion tho and also I believe it's the Sten mk2 the iron sights are alright but I found that using it in semi auto to be really good at times yes shots do everywhere but when you upgrade it should be better since I have like one or 2 at rank 3-4 but try it in semi it kinda slaps just tap or have a little bit of a trigger finger

[@pandafmr3531]

I actually love the FNAB-43 just because it has easy handles at range:

[@zombiekillerr9764]

Is it bad that the FNAB at #19 sounds like a LMG with the firing sounds?, more specifically it sounds a lot like the BAR (AR) from most of the call of duty ww2 games.

[@TakkiFaith]

pps 43 is actually my favorite, i tend to get much more kills with it as with the other smg´s. That's why I did get the red version of this gun instead of the sword xD. But over all i still prefer bolt action rifles and some... not many semi rifles.

[@champlynyang5809]

Ppsh is my favorite when I picked up my teammates ppsh I went on a 20 kill streak in Berlin

[@nikolamiloradovic2478]

I play Enlisted from first campaign,and I think in some aspect of the game you don't have balanced weapon for axis an allied, it's not that important but I think axis weapons in beginning is not that good like allied weapons, I like to play axis faction in every campaign and I know for that problem for beginners off the game.good video mean I like when people do amazing job.

[@MajorMcDonalds]

I see your point, many people do say similar things to you, but honestly I think the weapons are pretty balanced almost all over the board. Both factions have access to OP weapons IMO. Maybe in early game allies do better, but in late campaign levels it’s definitely the axis who get better weapons. And thank you for your kind words!

[@nikolamiloradovic2478]

@@MajorMcDonalds no problem I support you for being informed in every aspect of the game,I agree with you about the weapons, and I think winter war campaign must be added or sino- japanese war campaign. thank you for your answer.

MP 43/1 or stg44 and ppsh 41 was really great gun not just in enlisted but almost any WW2 game. I remember use this gun cod WW2 this gun is goddamn gooood 52 round, high fire, accurate, and easy to unlock. And stg44 also really good in bf5. Is accurate, easy to control, and damn damage. But shortly stg44 in bf5 and ppsh 41 in enlisted was actually same stats as in enlisted but a bit different.

[@MajorMcDonalds]

52 round PPSh in cod ww2? Try 71 round in Enlisted, it's just insanity 😂

Random question: Do perk points for each of the 3 categories have any effect outside of buying perks? For instance, would my level V rifleman with 16 vitality perk points have more health than a level I rifleman with only 5 vitality perk points? (Assuming the level 5 does not have the +35% vitality perk)

[@MajorMcDonalds]

Nope, not that I am aware of, it only affects buying perks sadly

[@PyromaN93]

PPSh-41 is best assault weapon. It is good even without upgrades, and can wipe entire squad without any troubles

And I have even more to say about it than about the rifles video:) First of all, great video, as always. But, as you've said, it's possible to rearrange a lot of those weapons and make good arguments about it, and I have one weapon that you don't seem to have, so here I am, about the ZK-383. I have it and there is one very unique feature about it. Since it has a bipod, the recoil absolutely disappears when you mount it, especially when you're prone. It's better than the Suomi in that matter. But, since you talked about possibly reviewing gold order weapons, I'd like to ask two questions - one, which gold order weapons do you have, and two, are you a big enough content creator for Darkflow to give you weapons for reviews?

[@MajorMcDonalds]

As always, thank you for your feedback! Yes you are correct I have not actually unlocked the ZK-383 yet (literally 1 level away but I wanted to get this video out and not spend an entire day grinding on the weekend), but I judged it from how others use it in videos and from other people using it on me in-game. That actually sounds insane, one thing I never knew was whether the bipod was just an aesthetics feature or whether it really had an impact in game, so thanks for letting me know! Arguably it could be higher then, but at least personally I rarely mount SMGs - I mount MGs more, and use SMGs for just running in and gunning. Haha, nice detective work! Soon enough I will meet the requirements for Enlisted content creator partner, (less than 50 subs away, as my views are already fortunately very good!) and I will be discussing with them whether I can get them all. But fortunately enough I do have lots of gold left over from other things and I recently used most of it to buy gold order weapons, so I have almost all of them (bar a few of them that are copied in other campaigns, and the ones from the latest update/battle pass which you cannot buy for gold until the new update comes out). So I do have most of them, but not all. Obviously I would prefer to do a full and complete ranking/review of them all in one video, so I would probably wait until the partnership!

[@bimbappg6983]

PPSH and PPS guns the best for me

[@MajorMcDonalds]

I can get on board with that opinion 👍

[@jeffr8874]

Is it just me, or do I enjoy using the Shotguns instead of the SMGs especially with the buff they added long ago? I feel that more people should use the shotguns and when they are used effectively, can affect the game alot. I can comfortably kill people at pretty good ranges like around 15m and I can just one shot anyone to the chest and maybe get lucky double or triple kills if they were huddled together. A helpful option is to give ur soldiers with shotguns pistols, as they can be helpful to use when your shotgun has run out of ammo. Using pistols can be hard for the first time but with practice I can average 15 kills with them alone. I think shotguns in this game are in the right place, it can oneshot anyone but it isn’t overpowering where you can spam it in a room, it takes quite some skill to use and when used correctly, can get you to the top of the leaderboard. However, I do think there are some things that the game can improve for it’s shotguns

[@psychobeam99]

Range would be the main one. The damage drop off is just retarded.

[@digitaal_boog]

I love the pistols, the semiautomatic ones at least, revolvers aren’t as good, but I have wiped out full squads with a 1911 before

[@jeffr8874]

@@digitaal_boog Revolvers are fine to use because of their damage, but what I hate about them is their tedious reloads. I usually give them to snipers or pilots, pretty much people who are unlikely to fight up close but just have one incase.

[@digitaal_boog]

@@jeffr8874 yeah, but it depends on the revolver in my opinion. I find it more a case of DPS. If I can get more rounds downrange in a shorter timeframe i can do more damage. I guess it’s a pro-con sort of thing: more damage but lower fire rate, reload and capacity vs lower damage but better ammo capacity, reload and fire rate

[@jeffr8874]

@@digitaal_boog I really wish they change the prices for the pistols and revolvers in the game. The way I would do it is make them all worth 1 silver order, then whenever you buy one, it gives you 2-3 pistols or revolvers, that way people can actually consider buying them because of how cheap they are. Pistols won’t break the game or anything but are definitely useful as a backup option, so I believe that whenver you use a silver order on them you get multiple at once.

"Definitely better than Beretta M1in many ways" Tell me please

[@MajorMcDonalds]

Hmm, so after checking my notes and comparing the M1 and the M38/42 Berettas, it seems as though I misspoke and 13, 12 and 11 should be rearranged. The M38/42 has better reload speed than the M1, which is why I put it higher, but apart from that it seems nothing else is different. Unless I was referring to the scopes and if I liked the M38/42 one better but I don’t remember if that was the case or not. So yeah, it’s not much better but it is slightly better, even if that’s ever so slightly better, and not ‘definitely better’ - apologies!
