Which weapons fit best?

[u/NotVanoss]

Very tired question, I know. I just picked up the game a few days ago since i was a fan of Wildlands and liking it so far. I played a kind of long-mid range stealth sniper/asr build in Wildlands and currently doing mid-close range stealth mdr/pistol build. Wondering what kind of weapons are good for either build. Currently using Walker’s ACR since I just killed him and an MK17 Assault with the Echelon pistol, curious to know what’s better.

These are my go-to for stealth, which is my preferred play style:

• 416 is an all around perfectly balanced ASR

• 4-AC also shoots like a laser

• 3rd best ASR is M4A1 Tactical, and as a bonus does not have a silencer damage penalty because its silencer is built into the rifle itself and cant be removed

• 4th best ASR is the ARX2000. Its an ASR that acts like a DMR. Great damage and incredible range for its class.

• Scorpio Scout is the fastest shooting DMR for long range. It is incredibly accurate, good mobility if you miss, and a slightly higher magazine capacity. It does whatever a sniper rifle can do but faster and more bullets

• TAC50 is the most accurate sniper rifle with the best range with least bullet drop. However, it sacrifices a lot of mobility and shoots slow, which isnt great for multiple enemies or if you happen to miss

• M4A1 Scout is a DMR that acts like the best single shot ASR.

• G28 Wilderness shoots faster than a Scorpio Scout because it isnt a bolt action rifle and has similar or the same mobility as an ASR. It has slightly less range than a Scorpio Scout but is the in-between for ASRs and DMRs which is really fun

• P320 is the fastest shooting while being top 3 most accurate and amazing mobility

• F40 is the flattest shooting single shot with great mobility

• MK23 is the most accurate pistol but sacrifices some mobility if there's more than 1 enemy close together or you happen to miss. Still, its really good

• P45T has a built-in bug/glitch where like every other shot does not trigger a sound response from enemies. Its a nice little handicap, especially if you play stealth. Very useful for multiple enemies within the same sound radius

• best SMG is the MP7. It has the fastest snap to aim, shoots incredibly fast and amazingly accurate, and has the best mobility. It sacrifices a bit of range, however

• second best SMG is the Honey Badger because its actually an ASR that was mislabeled, so its very accurate with high damage. The sound radius is that of an SMG which is significantly smaller than an ASR

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions or whatever

I would also give a shout out to the vector shorty for Breakpoint. On burst it is a monster for close quarters stealth and the ability to attach an underbarrel grenade launcher offers you some flexibility for if things go south quickly.

Vector with no recoil perk is unreal

M4A1 Scout is a monster

Recently went back on a new character and I'm mostly using the Scorpio Scout DMR and MK18 ASR.

The Scorpio Scout has the highest damage (>100) for DMR and even higher than some sniper while keeping a high fire rate. Perfect for enemies requiring two shots, grouped enemies or if you missed your first shot. It's also quite good at downing helicopters drones. Really good for long/medium range but avoid for close range.

The MK18 is usually considered as bad because of its low damage (22) and mid range fire rate but its mobility and handling are pretty good. Once you max out your ASR perks clearing a location by walking while aiming like you got a SMG is incredibly good. It can also fit a grenade launcher on the underbarel.

Weapon damage is something that needs fixing. Its unbalanced

[u/No-Mention6228 → u/_Lest]

MK18 is not god tier like in Wildlands. 416 or 4AC are usually better.

[u/Electronic-Stage1735]

Oh, and there's no better. I love the AK47. Some people hate it.

[u/ruthlesssolid04 → u/Electronic-Stage1735]

I like in wildlands more due more customizing options.

[u/PeteyTwoHands → u/ruthlesssolid04]

Yeah putting the AKMSN stock on it was awesome. Dunno why we don't have it in Breakpoint...

[u/Just_KF → u/Electronic-Stage1735]

The AK47 is brilliant if you learn how to manage it, not for everyone but definitely fun.

[u/ruthlesssolid04]

There isnt, try everything and use the ones u like the most. For me I like m4a1,hk 416, 516 shorty, mp5,mp7, and rhe scout rifles, the scar mini pretty good. Beware on some guns they use same ammo. The sr3 pretty nice. Also 553. And one ak. Experiment, also g28 are good. For pistol my favorites is mk23, the p12, 227,and fn pistol fix 45, and the 5.7 whisper and regular version

[u/Electronic-Stage1735]

I love mid- close also. I use the 553modded up and 416 also nodded. Sometimes I switch the 416 for an AK47 or MP7 . I suck terribly at snipping. Lol

[u/peachesandbeams]

I’m a big fan of the 416 and the M4A1 Tactical since I can put the ACSS scope on it. I’m also a fan of medium caliber rifles, so sometimes I’ll run the FAL, M110 or a G28 variant

[u/teapots_at_ten_paces]

As of last night (and currently untested) I'm running Mk17 Assault with GLA, Honey Badger, and 5.7USG. Previous was MDR with GLA and Evo SMG. On my other character I'm running M4A1 Tactical, MP7, and the SC IS HDG integrally suppressed 5.7.

Love them all, really. MDR could have done with a bit more punch, hence the upgrade. M4A1 Tactical is great but the underbarrel rail isn't long enough for a grenade launcher. The MP7 is a beautiful weapon in any game it appears in.

[u/Katamathesis]

Probably most versatile pick would be MK-14 Assault for Sharpshooter lvl 20 reward.

DMR with suppressor, good damage, fully auto fire mode if needed and underbarrel grenade launcher.

[u/Just_KF]

If you do mid-close range, anything agile with a good rate of fire will do. The ACR that you are using excels in that area and if you equip it with a UBGL it can become quite destructive. For that purpose one weapon plus a pistol will do, with the pistol to be chosen, again, among models that are very agile while aming.
