Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles like the M4A1, AK-47, and G36C are versatile, offering a balance of range, damage, and fire rate. They are effective in most combat scenarios, making them a popular choice for all playstyles. Experiment with different rifles to find your preferred handling and recoil pattern.

Primary Weapons

Submachine Guns (SMGs)

SMGs such as the MP5, P90, and AK-74u excel in close-quarters combat due to their high fire rate and mobility. They are ideal for aggressive players who prefer to rush objectives and engage enemies up close. Their damage drops off significantly at longer ranges.

Light Machine Guns (LMGs)

LMGs like the M249 SAW and RPD provide sustained suppressive fire and large magazine capacities. While heavy and slow to reload, they are excellent for holding choke points or providing cover fire for your team. Prone positioning maximizes their accuracy.

Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles (M40A3, R700, Dragunov) are designed for long-range precision kills. They require patience and good aim but can eliminate enemies with a single shot. Ideal for defensive positions or picking off high-value targets. Quick-scoping is an advanced technique.

Shotguns

Shotguns (M1014, W1200) are devastating at extremely close range, capable of one-shot kills. Their effectiveness drops off sharply with distance. Best used in tight corridors, urban environments, or for clearing rooms. Always aim for center mass.
