noticed how the AK74's reload animation has been tweaked a bit?

I wish more people would recognize the groza 1 and it’s mean personality and it’s very controllable even with muzzle booster

the best weapon to prebuy is clearly the zip22, too op.

I may have bought the zip22 at rank 40

So true

can confirm as someone who prebought the zip 22 3 times

Before 100+ rank weapon everyone bought m107, its soo sad how much it fell off

The 2nd rebalance killed it 💀

[@metagamer1341]

Let's be glad, because that thing was absolutely game breaking for way too long

[@walterwhiteunofficial]

@@metagamer1341 they shouldn’t have added it or deleted it like it’s just a garbage weapon as in it used to be 0 skill (even after first rebalance which camping at the back of desert was the meta) to being literally the worst sniper

[@Future_FriendRBLX]

Interesting, there’s something new I learned today. The depleted uranium ammo is a gyrojet-style conversion on the MK11. Not too bad Stylis, not too bad.

[@parzavaal5335]

They prolly watch a hell of alotta Forgotten Weapons

[@digitaal_boog]

Funny story about the L22. One of my college tutors was a civilian photographer with the military. One day he was in a vehicle, window open because it’s like 40+ degrees, and there’s an L22 in the doorframe and a kid suddenly reaches his arm through the window. My tutor immediately slammed his camera down on his arm, breaking it. He then realised he was trying to steal a pack of wine gums on the dash, not the carbine.

[@soappygoodness]

Poor kid

[@digitaal_boog]

@@soappygoodness yeah I agree

[@lightandthesungod]

I can definitely say that the AR-9 is a really underrated gun. Super consistent in every respect, kinda like a bwc 9 with more damage and better ranges

[@pate00711]

muzzle booster is really viable on the scar l, it buffs the firerate to 700 while barely adding any recoil, making the scar l superior to the aug and l85

[@biolock6290]

nope, aug a2 7.62 on top

[@chillenthusiast6169]

Which aug?

[@davidspackman7534]

You can also put the 9x19mm for 815ish fire rate and 3 tap for close quarters

[@HasanK337]

@@chillenthusiast6169 he probably means aug a1 since it has the best ranged performance of the aug family of guns and is closest in rank to scar l

[@flausseur]

zawg!

[@AsheMeda]

I'm personally surprised that i haven't heard the AN-94 in most of his videos because with me being a fairly new player (Rank 10), I found that pre-buying a TA44 ACOG and a Canted Delta Sight worked really well for me, as well as unkocking the R2 Supressor. it seems like a sleeper gun tbh

[@AsheMeda]

and besides, i feel like the double shot at the start of the mag helps to start longer range kills (totally didn't get a 326.8 stud kill with it last night lmao)

[@Christophedallot-md3ij]

Yes

[@Christophedallot-md3ij]

I agree

[@roofmini2613]

Eh it has too much recoil compared to other low level guns. M4A1, colt lmg outclass it by a lot

[@bendixsex]

also the scar pdw is very impressive, it's just the same scar-l but now it's more practical and you can be at the speed of light. I just got a killstreak of 12 with this thing being stock and i consider it the best carbine

[@creepermyeeper]

Best gun to prebuy is GB-22

[@lolup9]

this is an insane setup, the gun does 44 per bullet up close with a 700 fire rate FAL 50.63 PARA (rank 87) coyote sight T-Brake stubby grip blue laser default ammo kills super quickly and its really good for close-medium range maps

It’s a shame that your Apoc vid got nowhere near as many views as your previous videos (and this one too), it must be pretty hard to be stuck with one game as your channel’s lifeline. Keep up the good work Steven!

AK-109 is great all range weapon (Also AK-107 if u want something bit faster)

[@roldmaster8276]

I actually was in this guys match when he recorded the video (second storm) 9:25 kill feed. 9:29 He got me

[@1111sharky]

recently ive been using the mg42... it is one of the most insane guns in the game i was dropping 80 kills with it, which may not seem like much but for a gun with that low walkspeed it kinda is. but the main thing i wanna say is, put a muzzle booster and light bolt on it then hit "T" with it so you can hipfire. it ups the rpm to 1620 which is just insane and it is pretty easy to get used to the recoil and control it at close to medium ranges and sometimes even far ranges

[@jxstlocker]

Well thanks steven for getting me into the scar l i dropeed a 145 kill game on my 2nd game with it and my setup for anyone else who wants to know is, cyote, ars, pistol, blu lsr and norm ammo thanks again steven

[@furiouslink1256]

Rank 0-50 I recommend the AK12BR with delta sight muzzle brake blue laser angled grip or stubby grip and 7,62x39 It's a no recoil setup (almost)

[@KaoChaos]

Finally, been using L22 ever since i unlocked it and reached to rank 56. L22 is getting some love

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

Man we starting off the list pretty well. MK11 is my most used DMR. Use it long enough to be able to shoot near/at max RMP, and can you could get kicked for "full auto MK11." (I would know, its happened to me. lol)

[@ehatch8917]

muzzle booster on scar l is cracked, always 4 shot and 702 rpm, if it was 3 at close range would be to op, but hey, you can't always get what you want

[@grmzy.]

The dragonov svds is the most overpowered gun in game right now if you use it correctly imo.

MKII was actually my first 1000 kill gun and at that time I was playing on console.

[@s4kiko_]

The m21 is outclassed by the msg90 on every single stat and the msg90 is unlocked at rank 59.

[@SomeSteven]

the MSG90 is also a great choice and I enjoy it, however it was also on my last list and I didn't wanna just use all of the same stuff, I only left the Scar-L in because it's basically a starter weapon, however I agree with you on the MSG90.

[@s4kiko_]

Interesting

[@Aerolite_FPS]

I completely agree with ak74 being on this list. With its new buffs it is insanely good now

[@trajen4672]

Just want to point out w/ the bwc-9 that the fastest walkspeed in the game is like 17.5 or something when equipping bare knuckles or brass knuckles for melee but still very fast for a gun walkspeed

[@JustAnotherSomeDude]

to be fair, all the new high unlock rank lmgs are super meme-y and fun

[@r10101]

The Desert Eagle XIX really should be mentioned, i've achieved multiple accidental 15 kill streaks at the start of rounds with that thing alone.

[@yunusshavkatov433]

Fun setup idea: BFG Sight: any, cuz doesn’t matter but AMT-TERMINATOR recommended Barrel: any silencer Under barrel: CHAINSAW GRIP, the reason why sight doesn’t matter Ammo: default

[@s1storm]

The groza 4 is op now, should've been here

[@foxygaming1946]

he ive got a setup i do recomend you try its by no means a no recoil setup but is controlable with low spread MP7 (and i know it got nerfed but this setup is really nice and i use all the time) i use COMP AIMPOINT but have swaped the sight on the barrel i use the ARS suppressor VERTICAL GRIP BLUE LASER but did use red and green at points thats all i use but am sure it can be better with some ammo types or other attachments if you try this i hope you like it PS you dont need to use sight again its more for prefrence and love the vids

[@ThetrueFaIIen]

As a person who saved creds for awhile then prebuying the scout I have no regrets

[@whitealphaw0lf709]

I miss the times, when the community votekicked bfg users.

[@0nlyParko]

Hey Steven, you should do a video on gameplay with the slowest weapons in game just for a fun meme video.

[@DaYemenball]

If you can’t afford the MG-42, get the MG-3KWS. It’s slightly slower firerate of 1,000 but you can manage the recoil the same, it sounds heavier, and putting extended stock and T-break basically deletes recoil.

[@imspiralsoul]

currently the dragunov svds is one of in for the best weapons to use right now. it’s rpm is close to that of the mk11, but a sniper

[@danielcebrecos3865]

lowkey i feel like the as val or beowulf could've made the list, i'm playing both adn they give me solid and consistent results, the asval almost with no recoil so it can even be used at quite the distance, where the beowulf (which i run with the conversion that makes it 20 bullets) is a consistent 3 shot in maps like bazaar

[@huiliu2610]

For the scar L you can use armour piercing ammo as it’s still a 4 shot kill all ranges and it has no downsides to the scar

[@chillenthusiast6169]

As far as the mk11 goes, it’s probably good to mention it’s muzzle velocity - being that it’s stupidly fast.

[@parli9154]

I agree with all of the weapons listed here, especially the M21, which has been overlooked by a vast majority of the playerbase, however, I would like to add MG36, Thumper, and XIX, to this list, the MG36 is a solid early game weapon because it doesnt require ammo control, while the Thumper and XIX pair well with any primary weapon since they also have low ammo consumption and very fast kill times.

[@noanswer1864]

I've been playing for a couple of weeks now. I don't understand why the difficult to use 20mm is such a high unlock, and the "turn your brain off" BFG .50 is sort of in the middle. It should be far more expensive to run.

[@walterwhiteunofficial]

Don’t spend it but if you want to spend it here’s a pro strat I use as a rank 187 (as of this comment since I’m going for rank 200) prebuy good conversions and get your gun to 1k kills which takes 5 hours for me since I get 50+ kills per game which is usually 7.5k xp so you’ll rank up and get your moneys worth
