When I play Light Assault, I feel burdened by lack of survivability When I play Heavy Assault, I feel burdened by a lack of agility When I play Engineer, I feel burdened by a lack of healing When I play Medic, I feel burdened by a lack of ammo and repairing When I play Infiltrator, I feel burdened by a lack of teammates When I play in a team, I feel burdened by a lack of peace, as well as the pressure to do well. When I don't play, I'm burdened by life. Well, I guess that leaves death. What the heck happens? Well, I guess I'll see. 'Till then I'll have burdens.
It's almost 3 years now Joshino. Come back and give us an updated top 10 weapons! :) Also biggest update in years so there's some new weapons to try out and that juicy juicy DX11 frames.
Joshino I love your videos so much man. I recently started playing planetside again and now when i search for planetside 2 videos on youtube i only find outdated guides and things like that. I´m so happy to see an active ps2 youtuber like you.
Well, there is still Joshino and ofcoourse Wrel, Goldeneman1, Moukass, CAMIKAZE78, iGoRawr, Yamiks, and many more that are on different stages of activity towards Planetside. But don't watch my Videos, they are bad :D
i love this game ugh my favorite weapons... maybe not "10" but here they are: Commissioner, Armistice, GD22S, Reaper DMR, Betelguese, NS11M, NS11C...godsaw is fun too but they nerfed the ADS movement speed :(
I don't feel like this video was biased, really, but it does point out a lingering feeling I've been having lately as a TR main - it seems like all of our weapons kind of suck in comparison to the other factions. Even our cool "gimmick" stuff just shoots faster, and all of it gets nerfed to hell. I know, I know, the Gatekeeper is great, but I definitely feel like TR's not on the same level as NC or VS, flavor or viability-wise. We mostly get by on the west coast server through sheer population.
Kōichi Zenigata Honestly I used to main TR and decided to try out NC, personally I think they both are on the same playing field, it’s just that - I think - the TRs weapons are much more made for suppressive fire and close ranged stuff. Although now I’m maining NC because their stock weapons are better for me.
@@felszi1043 nah not really a TR complex. The "TR Complex" is just a meme man. I play TR and NC both quite actively and have to agree. The Railjack is the best sniper in the game. At least for me, since I love the delay mechanic. TR has not a singe LMG, I would ever prefer over the Gauss SAW or the MGR L 1 Promise. The phoenix launcher enables you, to lay precise AV fire on your enemy, without LOS and fills a unique roll with that, while the striker can do nothing, you couldn't achieve with the NS launchers. Personally, I prefer the prowler over the vanguard and I prefer the vehicle weapons for TR by a small bit but thats quite subjective. Other than that, TR has slightly better MAXes. Nowadays, the only thing, that makes me play TR, is my outfit and the nice people there and especially the cooler looking armors. I'm not biased or have any "complex". It's just, that the infantry weapons for the TR feel pretty lackluster in comparision to the NC. Can't speak for vanu though, cause I don't have that much experience with vanu
You have good tastes. GD-22S I have to agree with as I am a avid user of that gun. Very well rounded mobile weapon that doesn't do much particularly great, but does it good enough to be effective in the right hands. Other two weapons are pretty obvious why they're good.
The T7 Chaingun was one of my first purchases when I joined PlanetSide 2 so naturally I was terrible with it, because I couldn't aim very well at first, but after a bit of experience and a hundred or so hours playing the game I find the T7 Chaingun to be very enjoyable and effective.
i also think this pistol is op. with such a big dmg output you have, you can use it as a primary weapon. and it's not even hard to use. when i use the default tr pistole and give my enemy like the whole magazine and he doesn't die, i always compare it to the commisioner, which can kill a few enemys with one magazine.
Slight addition for the Phoenix: It OHKOs Both MANA Turret variations, both the AI and AV. They also kill whoever is manning them at the time, as well. My own personal favourite infantry weapons in Planetside 2 would be the NS-7 PDW and the NS-numberthatiforgot Emissary. I fond both of these weapons to be not only controllable as per NS Standard but also relatively versatile: the PDW can Counter-Snipe with enough patience and skill while still being reliable enough for anything within 100 meters, and the Emissary's controlablity lets you stay on target pretty well even while on the move.
I love the Serpent for the VS. It requires discipline, due to its high recoil, but is the fastest firing carbine in the VS arsenal. To top it off, you can equip soft point ammo to absolutely shred anything within your effective range (which is basically everywhere. No bullet drop) Plus, it just sounds awesome to shoot.
The new conglomerate faction does more damage but slower fire, so if you can get a gun with high rpm and low recoil you can drop a max in a pinch. So if you use a heavy assault you can drop a max in 5headshots
1. TRV. It shreds any enemy that is unfortunate enough to meet you in close, even heavys don't have much chances to outshoot you. 2. TMG-50. It crushes skulls of your enemy's like nothing, surprisingly good in close qouters and has a very, very, nice sound. 3. Jaguar. Just a very comfortable gun. You can move faster than usuall while aming down sights and it is also very accurate when you spray. 4. NS-15 .This is the gun that taught me how to shoot. Extremely accurate and has almost zero recoil. 5. Mercy. Well it is still technicaly an infratry weapon. It is also the only handcannon TR MAX has access to that doesn't loses it's effectiveness outside from close range. But the main reason why I love it - is it's sound, it's gorgeous. I feel like an ork when I fire it, it's red, it's much dakka and it's very loud. Dis da best shoota for da ork, gitz! 6. Repeater. A machinegun in your pocket! 7. NS-44. I guess, there is no need to say more. 8. Knife. Since I aim to be a close combat specialist I use it very, very, very, very often. And every time I hear the sound of it cutting through enemy's flesh... well, it's an awesome feeling. 9. AA missile launchers. Cause I hate when someone flies near me. 10. C-4. BOOM!
If you like the t1 cycler, you have to try the TAR. Its so awesome because high rate of fire and really low bullet spread. Was one of my first weapons and i still come back to it :)
@Soku Depends on what you are playing. if you like medic and play it often, it really is better because more ammo in one mag and other stuff. if you like infiltraitor or light assault you should stick with the armistice. dont forgett about the hailstorm either ;)
1. Crossbow, with skilled stalker it's a beast, either as mid range silenced sniper, or as instakill combo with knife. 2. Burster arms for max. It's fun to use and looks so good to see exploding trail after that liberator even if it's not super profitable.
Every Carbine is better than the default TRAC 5. Kay, the AMC and the Jaguar might be pretty similar, but have that slight difference that make a huge improvement. (Once I bought the Jag I really got into playing Engi, because I finally had a weapon that was usable. Then I bought the NS-11C (post buff) and I realized I have never been so wrong. It is a beast now on almost all ranges.)
Hey man i cam across your channel back around 2015 / 2016 for the Planetside 2 content after subscribing to the game after it released on console in 2015 and have been playing literally daily since. I dont know if you have gone back to it recently but its still alive and kicking; Moukass released a new vid earlier today and even LevelCap has been getting in on the action and released a vid a week or two ago on the back of the recent DX11 upgrade.
Most folks talk about Auraxiuming weapons, but since I'm terrible at FPS, the best I've done so far is Gold medals in my several hundred hours of PS2. I think the NS-11C was my first Gold medal, unless it was the T9-Carv and then the Chaingun was my fastest, before it got nerfed. I noticed Joshino's favourites are more NC and less TR... grrr! Among my favourites are also the NS-11C, pre-nerf Chaingun, NS-PDW (most accurate long-distance SMG), T9-Carv, Hunter QCX (hitting mid-air LA with it is so satisfying), Flare VE6, Pulsar VS1 (accurate hip-fire despite putting a forward grip on it) and I can't think of any more atm.
I never really understood why the NC of all factions got the Phoenix. You would think that something like that would either be ahead of its time, almost alien (going to the VS) or something developed by for the dominant force of auraxis (lore wise going to TR). It just seems so out of place in the NC arsenal and tbh seems like the decs have given the NC a lot more love than the other two factions -_-
Have you looked at the models for both VS and TR? NC has blue and yellow cardboard strapped to our models making. Then you have our tank and our reaver. Both are (i think) based off of real world models while the VS and TR have highly eccentric models . For crying out loud, TR gets a siege tank and the gatekeeper, which for the record is over two times cheaper than our ravens. Where we have to unlock both guns to be any bit effective, TR has to unlock the gatekeeper once, strap it onto a harasser and proceed to annoy the crap out of everyone. VS comes in with a strafing tank and an aerial vehicle where you can cruise through building no problem. Added to that they have no bullet drop and the ability to have infinite ammo on one of their classes. What the heck do you mean, they give more love to NC? For the record, NC before the official alliance (Lore wise) was the middle class unit of the TR. They made pretty much half of the arsenal that TR uses. So yeah it would make sense we have what we have. Although it is rather annoying that our more common weapon is a shotgun attached to everything.
My dear sir, to say that one faction has gotten more love than another seems silly. For the longest time the NC was woefully underpowered and the TR was overpowered. Then the VS got buffed and they 'got a lot more love.' Finally the NC got some buffs and they are quite competitive (and some would say Ravens make them more than competitive). I cringe when people complain about how one faction is overpowered and have only been playing for such a short period of time. That being said, the Ravens are quite good, but other factions get their super strong weapons as well. As for why the NC gets wire guided stuff, it is beyond me. I agree and feel like they should have gotten more rail guns and stuff that fit with the theme.
NC are basically using cardboard boxes and bricks with shotgun functions somewhere. VS guns look all the same and there is always a Magrider in a place where it doesn't belong. TR , don'T know. Generic military stuff perhaps...
Is Eridani that good? Don't have the certs for it on my VS account so I tried it in VR Training Room. I was not impressed. It feels like a downgraded Cyclone. I really suggest opening a NC account just for Cyclone and Gauss SAW. It really is worth it.
+Thomas Li ah that sucks.. Even tho I am not level 55 like you I do think you should play on emerald (Connery for VS) it has more active fights then in EU realms
1-black jack (oh the joy of OHKing oversheild heavies) 2-mini chain gun (bc tf2) 3-striker (so versatile and fun) 4-lynx (daka) 5-repeater (×3 burst fireable pistol? aw heck yeah)
i used to be a cqc sniper before i took to the skies. now not so much but i love it still..first auraxised too. I love the acx-11 but ive changed to a battle rifle(engi) so i dont lose accuracy when i get back to the grounds of Esamir and Indar.
This video beautifully explains my biggest issue with VS weaponry. Despite being derived from alien technology, almost all of our weapons are boring. Only a couple of our weapons are bad, but none of them are particularly fun or exciting. They're all very... bland. Whereas TR and NC have some amazingly fun weapons.
there's an big buff on it in the test server. going to roll out to live in a few weeks I think. larger mag, more damage, smaller cof, and they removed semi auto mode
If would make a list it would probably pretty similar. Alot of weapons on it that are pretty great. My list of favorite weapons might be something like that: (In no particular Order, and this list goes to eleven!) - NS-44 Commissioner (Sidearm) - NS-11C (Carbine) - NS-15 M1 (LMG) - T9A Butcher (LMG) - TSAR-42 (Bolt Sniper) - Betelgeuse 54-A (LMG) - La3 Desperado (Sidearm) - AF-4 Cyclone (SMG) - NS-7 PDW (SMG) - T1 Cycler (AR) - T2 Striker (Launcher) I play alot of TR so a big part of it is made up of weapons the republic has access to.
On the Armistice I acutally used the extended magazine. Okay I used it on all the SMGs besides the Hailstorm. Hipfire is already great but I noticed the way I play I really need the extra 10 rounds.
HappyBeezerStudios i also had the extended, but ca half way to auraxium i switched because i was getting better an missed less shots and with the laser i normaly hit em all
Well, not been playing long enough to get too many weapons, only played NC for the most part. Gotta say though, fave HAS to be the Merc out of what I have. The NC's old reliable. The Warden battle rifle is pretty fun too, especially when you combine grenade launcher and engineer, and become mobile artillery.
NS-11C is not too strong of a choice damage-wise but dayam I love it! Sometimes it feels like a hitscan weapon with no travel time on the bullets. Just dont equip supressor on it and you will get a reliable, controllable, almost instareloading killing machine. All it needs is MORE BATTERIES!
My fav wep is the VX6-7... I think thats the only weap that I've used countless hours to get over 2k kills... (I usually get auraxium medal with the rest & then I stop)
My personal list: 0: betelgeuse 1: cyclone 2: light ppa 3: mercenary 4: jaguar 5: cycler 6: orion/carv/gauss saw 7: repeater 8: lancer/ravens 9: pulsar c 10: jackhammer/mattock bonus mention to scatmaxes, ravens,vanguard shield for being op and needing a nerf ;)
I love the Phoenix. I started a new NC character and she has more kills wth the Phoenix than LMGs. Quite fun. So thanks for the ideas, I will be giving them a try. Either after a grind or when my DGC bank is high enough.
Anyone else has issues with the Phoenix giving you warnings when you kill enemies? I killed a Tank, no friendly was near it and got a warning like I TK someone, kept happening, no matter what I did. A few other VS players say they have had it with the Default Launcher the S1.
back when the revolvers werent in the game the nc had the rebel, which did just as much damage as the revolvers do now, had a 10 shot magacine, higher fire rate and could be equipped with a silencer... but it was nerved when the revos came out just to make people buy them.
My favorite from Top to Bottom. Keep in mind I play all Factions, I just get bored with VS because they are easy. and TR because they are always on overpop.#1: Stalker, #2: HunterQC, #3: NS-11A, #4: ACX-11, #5: Piston Shotgun, #6: Mag-Scatter, #7: Brawler, #8 Liberator(Duster), #9: Gauss SPR (Thunderbolt), #10: NS-Baron w/ Slugs & 4x
my gaming pc broke so i havent been able to play for a couple weeks but my favorite guns are the VS medic base gun, the CMD or whatever it is for the medic, the VS medic base gun and the TR medic base gun. basically i love medic and also i genuinely hate the other classes base guns except the LMGs teyre great too but i mean medic
haven't got to play many weapons yet but so far i like the hunter crossbow with and without explosives also digging from what i trialed of the archer am rifle other than that i like the NC razor for mid to longrange engagements even though it may lack the punch of other nc carbines/weapons .. then i got the NC high cap smg (blitz?) and the NS emissary ... which are ok but not realy that cool as i hoped ... gonna get me the tr heavygatling and see how that one plays ... TR BRRRRT IS fun i've gotta say
My favourites are: 1: Tsar-42 2: Bighorn .50M/Rams .50M 3: SR-7 (could be also #no 2 because sometimes it feels better than rams and bighorn) 4: PDW-16 Hailstorm 5: HSR-1 (-better than Vandal-) 6: M77-B 7: Shuriken/SMG-46Armistice 8: Hunter QCX + Melee/knives 9: TS2 Inquisitor 10: 99SV (scince the ballistic computer came out and some buffs it is pretty decent.6x still to much zoom though)
Joshino, Why do you think there aren't best weapons? There very clearly are. When people ask what's best, they want statistical advantage, so you look at time to kill, remove instant kill weapons from the equation, and boom, the ten fastest killing weapons left over are the top 10.
i feel where you're coming from with the cycler, though my ole' reliable has to be the mercenary, first thing I've ever auraxiumed. everything about it just feels right
for me, there is just too many good weapons to put them in the top 10 list. trap-m1 is great fun when you can chain headshot people well, and default sniper rifle for tr and vs are now much easier to use in all range (even close range). when you start the game you may find this weapon easier to use than that weapon but over time they are all enjoyable to use especially when you have more certs and more weapons to experience.
Joshino, do you feel that the TR are in the most new of a buff? Not to say that other factions don't need one. If so what weapons on all 3 factions would you change?
Top 10: 1) Underboss 2) Commissioner 3) Bolt Driver 4) LA8 Rebel w/ Suppressor 5) Hunter QCX 6) Railjack w/ x12 Scope 7) XM98 Idk what else because I only play Infiltrator on NC, VS and TR
Ns-7 PDW is a viable option for all classes lol its actually really good all faction have accses to it and is a good balance between all wepons and smg its good for scrims as well
Strange not many have a strong opinion of that weapon. I think it's among the top 3 LMGs for TR and among the best in general. For the TR, MSW-R, T-9 Carv, and TMG-50. That's all you need really.
Seeing thia vid makes me miss ps2 since i cant play it dew to shit fps even after scowrting the internet for ways to boost it... Im scared to get on and check if fps has been fixed in fear ill be let down.. Can u tell me is the fps better
Disable shadows! Don't know how long you haven't played, but now that it also runs on PS2 they have to do something to get it running right on those low IPC AMD chips.
***** Thx ive tried to do some boosts on my computer and gained about 15 frames but i have a 2.3 hertz laptop with no graphics card that was low end when i bought it in 2013.. Can you pls tell me some of the things you did in case i missed a few
I hope you mean 2.3 GHz, not 2.3 Hz (Which would put it into the common speed used around 1940. Even by 1974 they had around 2 MHz) But if you really have "no" graphics card I assume it is something like an Intel GMA which were bad even in the days they were released. (You could use it for basic office stuff back then) The year 2013 would assume it is either IvyBridge or Haswell. That would make it somewhat better, but with a 2.3 GHz dual core is still weak. I wouldn't say I'ts impossible but don't expect anything playable. (Although my old machine can handle medium sized fights somewhat okay (C2Q @ 4.1 GHz, 8 GB RAM, R7 250X)
how do you get the best or max stuff for each faction? im confused bout that cause i know the vanu get the heat mechanic thing but idk about the terran or NC and i main Terran so im curious to how you get it and what it is. any help?
The Orion is the best default lmg, hands-down. It's an MSW-R with controllable recoil that kicks up to the head and has no bullet drop. It's overpowered.
VS LMG: excellent CQC weapon, if you don't plan on completing directives, you have no reason to change guns AR: Solid weapon, does well in pretty much any situation, but you'll want to upgrade if you plan on specializing Carbine: Same as AR TR: LMG: Carv is a good solid weapon, MSW-R for a more CQQ oriented gun AR: What Joshino said Carbine: Trac 5 is a piece of sh*t, get jaguar asap NC LMG: Guass Saw is okay if you can aim REALLY well in CQC, if not then GD-22S, more flexible and easier to use AR: solid gun, but you'll want to change if you want to specialize Carbine: Same as AR
For a new player playing TR. T-9 Carv, T1 Cycler. T-9 Carv has excellent muzzle velocity for the subjective range (makes a suppressor more attractive) plus a reliable amount of damage per magazine. T1 Cycler has a bit better recoil. Both fire fast. For a new playing VS: Orion VS54. Fires fast. For a new player playing NC: AF-19 Mercenary. Controllable weapon. Good enough hitting power down range, hip-fire. Horizontal recoil also effects hip-fire. Bigger horizontal makes even the hip-fire kick harder side to side. Mercenary, it's very controllable. ADS of course this is important as well. Empire default pistols are good enough, but Commissioner is the best.
How do you fix lag? As i was watching your video there was a time that caught me up because normally for me I would be dead due to the other guy shooting me while he is dead. I have a good ping and crap but I still lag like hell.
+joshino dear joshino imhave a gaming laptop with a 940 graphics card nvidia and i like to play in big fights but my framerate drops plz tell me how to get more fps in nvidia
Good that you didn’t add any of the shotguns because they are useless due to being that the continents are open and big but the shotguns are great for defending objectives
am I the only one that cant use NS weapons? I always "overcompensate" for the recoil and miss more with any NS weapon than I would with something less controlable
My favourite gun? No idea haven't unlock most yet cause I'm a f2p pleb but I do like the commissioner Also when it comes to mounted weapons then the gatekeeper takes the spot PS: what's that helmet in the thumbnail?
illuminator you say ? thx man ! this reminds me... why did the devs give away that lumifiber helmet again ? ITS A SHINY ASS HELMET WHY WOULD PEOPLE WEAR THAT !
When I play Light Assault, I feel burdened by lack of survivability
When I play Heavy Assault, I feel burdened by a lack of agility
When I play Engineer, I feel burdened by a lack of healing
When I play Medic, I feel burdened by a lack of ammo and repairing
When I play Infiltrator, I feel burdened by a lack of teammates
When I play in a team, I feel burdened by a lack of peace, as well as the pressure to do well.
When I don't play, I'm burdened by life.
Well, I guess that leaves death. What the heck happens? Well, I guess I'll see. 'Till then I'll have burdens.
Death: "No food, drinks or games"
I am sworn to carry your burdens
Play a MAX, you're a certified bad-ass juggernaut with enough weaponry to maul down a platoon at a safe distance.
My top 10:
1. T1 Cycler
2. TORQ-9
3-10. idk i just play tr medic
Try the Cycler TRV, NS-11A and TAR.
Don't let him forget the SABR-13. Underrated weapon imo
SABR-13 and NS-11A aren't exactly easiest to use, but will excel where other weapons can't.
the t1 cycler is literally an easier to control orion with a slightly smaller magazine size
Got 250 kills with TAR.
It's a fuckin' piece of shit.
It's almost 3 years now Joshino. Come back and give us an updated top 10 weapons! :)
Also biggest update in years so there's some new weapons to try out and that juicy juicy DX11 frames.
Joshino I love your videos so much man. I recently started playing planetside again and now when i search for planetside 2 videos on youtube i only find outdated guides and things like that. I´m so happy to see an active ps2 youtuber like you.
Hey, that's just rude, I did a Top 20 Tips on Friday. You just not found it yet :)
Well, there is still Joshino and ofcoourse Wrel, Goldeneman1, Moukass, CAMIKAZE78, iGoRawr, Yamiks, and many more that are on different stages of activity towards Planetside.
But don't watch my Videos, they are bad :D
HappyBeezerStudios The last time you made a PS2 video was 6 months ago and it was 21 seconds long lol.. Just saying lol
Nico101 That's what I meant :D
lol :) Still i do sometimes really feel like i can't find any good ps2 vids that are recent and that i havent watched yet.
i love this game ugh
my favorite weapons... maybe not "10" but here they are:
Commissioner, Armistice, GD22S, Reaper DMR, Betelguese, NS11M, NS11C...godsaw is fun too but they nerfed the ADS movement speed :(
should make the godsaw more accurate
RDMR is one of my favorites
This is a weird crossover 4 years later

At least for me, since I love the delay mechanic. TR has not a singe LMG, I would ever prefer over the Gauss SAW or the MGR L 1 Promise. The phoenix launcher enables you, to lay precise AV fire on your enemy, without LOS and fills a unique roll with that, while the striker can do nothing, you couldn't achieve with the NS launchers.

I'm not biased or have any "complex". It's just, that the infantry weapons for the TR feel pretty lackluster in comparision to the NC. Can't speak for vanu though, cause I don't have that much experience with vanu
I felt like that too while playing TR now I main VS but I still play other 2
few extremely good weapons are left out from this list.
1-GD 22 S
2- GD7F
3- ORION
You have good tastes.
GD-22S I have to agree with as I am a avid user of that gun. Very well rounded mobile weapon that doesn't do much particularly great, but does it good enough to be effective in the right hands.
Other two weapons are pretty obvious why they're good.
GD22S is my first cert weapon and I'm proud of jt
you forget:
hc1 cougar
tmg 50
inquisitor
You forgot the butcher.
caino666 You forgot the FArmistice.
i probably would of prefered a top 5 for each faction as opposed to a top 10 than is heavily dominated by a single
The T7 Chaingun was one of my first purchases when I joined PlanetSide 2 so naturally I was terrible with it, because I couldn't aim very well at first, but after a bit of experience and a hundred or so hours playing the game I find the T7 Chaingun to be very enjoyable and effective.
my favorite from 1-10:
1- Gauss SAW/Godsaw
2-10 copy paste the first one,lol
Really nice video mate. This will help a lot of people who are unsure on what weapons to use.
got any batteries?
i also think this pistol is op. with such a big dmg output you have, you can use it as a primary weapon. and it's not even hard to use. when i use the default tr pistole and give my enemy like the whole magazine and he doesn't die, i always compare it to the commisioner, which can kill a few enemys with one magazine.
Lasher is a bunch of fun in a biolab.
I love the Lasher but my fellow vanu keep running into the plasma orbs and then get mad at me :(
Or any kind of choke-point.
I ran into a guy the other day freaking the fuck out on me all caps for using it, hes complaining about a HEAVY WEAPON being fucking loud.
Slight addition for the Phoenix: It OHKOs Both MANA Turret variations, both the AI and AV. They also kill whoever is manning them at the time, as well.
My own personal favourite infantry weapons in Planetside 2 would be the NS-7 PDW and the NS-numberthatiforgot Emissary.
I fond both of these weapons to be not only controllable as per NS Standard but also relatively versatile: the PDW can Counter-Snipe with enough patience and skill while still being reliable enough for anything within 100 meters, and the Emissary's controlablity lets you stay on target pretty well even while on the move.
I love the Serpent for the VS. It requires discipline, due to its high recoil, but is the fastest firing carbine in the VS arsenal. To top it off, you can equip soft point ammo to absolutely shred anything within your effective range (which is basically everywhere. No bullet drop) Plus, it just sounds awesome to shoot.
The new conglomerate faction does more damage but slower fire, so if you can get a gun with high rpm and low recoil you can drop a max in a pinch. So if you use a heavy assault you can drop a max in 5headshots
You make planetside 2 sound fun again.
1. TRV. It shreds any enemy that is unfortunate enough to meet you in close, even heavys don't have much chances to outshoot you.
2. TMG-50. It crushes skulls of your enemy's like nothing, surprisingly good in close qouters and has a very, very, nice sound.
3. Jaguar. Just a very comfortable gun. You can move faster than usuall while aming down sights and it is also very accurate when you spray.
4. NS-15 .This is the gun that taught me how to shoot. Extremely accurate and has almost zero recoil.
5. Mercy. Well it is still technicaly an infratry weapon. It is also the only handcannon TR MAX has access to that doesn't loses it's effectiveness outside from close range. But the main reason why I love it - is it's sound, it's gorgeous. I feel like an ork when I fire it, it's red, it's much dakka and it's very loud. Dis da best shoota for da ork, gitz!
6. Repeater. A machinegun in your pocket!
7. NS-44. I guess, there is no need to say more.
8. Knife. Since I aim to be a close combat specialist I use it very, very, very, very often. And every time I hear the sound of it cutting through enemy's flesh... well, it's an awesome feeling.
9. AA missile launchers. Cause I hate when someone flies near me.
10. C-4. BOOM!
If you like the t1 cycler, you have to try the TAR. Its so awesome because high rate of fire and really low bullet spread. Was one of my first weapons and i still come back to it :)
Aaand 0.75 ADS speed
What is more worth buying - Armistice (i don't have any smg) or TAR?
@Soku Depends on what you are playing. if you like medic and play it often, it really is better because more ammo in one mag and other stuff. if you like infiltraitor or light assault you should stick with the armistice. dont forgett about the hailstorm either ;)
1. Crossbow, with skilled stalker it's a beast, either as mid range silenced sniper, or as instakill combo with knife.
2. Burster arms for max. It's fun to use and looks so good to see exploding trail after that liberator even if it's not super profitable.
I love my Serpent VS Carbine, Doesn't have the nade-launcher like a lot of the others, but up close it just shreds people.
1. mercanary
2. c4
3. Gr 22s ( still getting used to the weapon)
4. jackhammer
5. default sniper
My top ten in no particular order
1: T1 Cycler
2: HC1 Cougar
3: Cycler TRV
4: Gauss SAW
5: Reaper DMR
6: CQC Bolt actions
7: Emissary
8: LC2 Lynx
9: VS Corvus
10: Pump Shotties
I prefer the CME over the Corvus
I personally put the T5 AMC over the HC1 Cougar, it shoots faster and is great at sustained long ranged fire.
Every Carbine is better than the default TRAC 5.
Kay, the AMC and the Jaguar might be pretty similar, but have that slight difference that make a huge improvement.
(Once I bought the Jag I really got into playing Engi, because I finally had a weapon that was usable. Then I bought the NS-11C (post buff) and I realized I have never been so wrong. It is a beast now on almost all ranges.)
Hey man i cam across your channel back around 2015 / 2016 for the Planetside 2 content after subscribing to the game after it released on console in 2015 and have been playing literally daily since. I dont know if you have gone back to it recently but its still alive and kicking; Moukass released a new vid earlier today and even LevelCap has been getting in on the action and released a vid a week or two ago on the back of the recent DX11 upgrade.
Most folks talk about Auraxiuming weapons, but since I'm terrible at FPS, the best I've done so far is Gold medals in my several hundred hours of PS2. I think the NS-11C was my first Gold medal, unless it was the T9-Carv and then the Chaingun was my fastest, before it got nerfed. I noticed Joshino's favourites are more NC and less TR... grrr! Among my favourites are also the NS-11C, pre-nerf Chaingun, NS-PDW (most accurate long-distance SMG), T9-Carv, Hunter QCX (hitting mid-air LA with it is so satisfying), Flare VE6, Pulsar VS1 (accurate hip-fire despite putting a forward grip on it) and I can't think of any more atm.
I never really understood why the NC of all factions got the Phoenix. You would think that something like that would either be ahead of its time, almost alien (going to the VS) or something developed by for the dominant force of auraxis (lore wise going to TR). It just seems so out of place in the NC arsenal and tbh seems like the decs have given the NC a lot more love than the other two factions -_-
Have you looked at the models for both VS and TR? NC has blue and yellow cardboard strapped to our models making. Then you have our tank and our reaver. Both are (i think) based off of real world models while the VS and TR have highly eccentric models . For crying out loud, TR gets a siege tank and the gatekeeper, which for the record is over two times cheaper than our ravens. Where we have to unlock both guns to be any bit effective, TR has to unlock the gatekeeper once, strap it onto a harasser and proceed to annoy the crap out of everyone. VS comes in with a strafing tank and an aerial vehicle where you can cruise through building no problem. Added to that they have no bullet drop and the ability to have infinite ammo on one of their classes. What the heck do you mean, they give more love to NC?
For the record, NC before the official alliance (Lore wise) was the middle class unit of the TR. They made pretty much half of the arsenal that TR uses. So yeah it would make sense we have what we have. Although it is rather annoying that our more common weapon is a shotgun attached to everything.
My dear sir, to say that one faction has gotten more love than another seems silly. For the longest time the NC was woefully underpowered and the TR was overpowered. Then the VS got buffed and they 'got a lot more love.' Finally the NC got some buffs and they are quite competitive (and some would say Ravens make them more than competitive). I cringe when people complain about how one faction is overpowered and have only been playing for such a short period of time. That being said, the Ravens are quite good, but other factions get their super strong weapons as well.
As for why the NC gets wire guided stuff, it is beyond me. I agree and feel like they should have gotten more rail guns and stuff that fit with the theme.
Camera-guided missles is 21st century Earth technology. Why wouldn't the NC have it?
The Phoenix or Rocket Cam was in PlanetSide 1 for the NC.
NC are basically using cardboard boxes and bricks with shotgun functions somewhere.
VS guns look all the same and there is always a Magrider in a place where it doesn't belong.
TR , don'T know. Generic military stuff perhaps...
Great vid Josh, completely agreed with NS-11C!
I haven't completed the AR directive for TR but the T1 Cycler is currently my favorite and fun auraxium I had in a long time
My fav:
Eridani
NC Carbines
anything else
MCG
TR MAXes
Is Eridani that good? Don't have the certs for it on my VS account so I tried it in VR Training Room. I was not impressed. It feels like a downgraded Cyclone.
I really suggest opening a NC account just for Cyclone and Gauss SAW. It really is worth it.
+Thomas Li Emerald. Is full of NC at the evening. Go for it
+daniel amir Sadly my VS account is on Briggs and it is BR 55 already...
+Thomas Li ah that sucks.. Even tho I am not level 55 like you I do think you should play on emerald (Connery for VS) it has more active fights then in EU realms
Why is the Eridani better than the Siruis?
default weapons, burst weapons, vs directive weapons and kekpod are my top picks.
1-black jack (oh the joy of OHKing oversheild heavies)
2-mini chain gun (bc tf2)
3-striker (so versatile and fun)
4-lynx (daka)
5-repeater (×3 burst fireable pistol? aw heck yeah)
you can hit things with the striker??? even esf???
i used to be a cqc sniper before i took to the skies. now not so much but i love it still..first auraxised too. I love the acx-11 but ive changed to a battle rifle(engi) so i dont lose accuracy when i get back to the grounds of Esamir and Indar.
This video beautifully explains my biggest issue with VS weaponry. Despite being derived from alien technology, almost all of our weapons are boring. Only a couple of our weapons are bad, but none of them are particularly fun or exciting. They're all very... bland. Whereas TR and NC have some amazingly fun weapons.
Where is the TRAP M1 ?
It's too good for this list
ITS A TRAP!!
there's an big buff on it in the test server. going to roll out to live in a few weeks I think. larger mag, more damage, smaller cof, and they removed semi auto mode
Ben Burr saw that a couple of days ago. I think it needs a quicker reload too but the extra 3 bullets and the better cof are cool
If would make a list it would probably pretty similar.
Alot of weapons on it that are pretty great.
My list of favorite weapons might be something like that: (In no particular Order, and this list goes to eleven!)
- NS-44 Commissioner (Sidearm)
- NS-11C (Carbine)
- NS-15 M1 (LMG)
- T9A Butcher (LMG)
- TSAR-42 (Bolt Sniper)
- Betelgeuse 54-A (LMG)
- La3 Desperado (Sidearm)
- AF-4 Cyclone (SMG)
- NS-7 PDW (SMG)
- T1 Cycler (AR)
- T2 Striker (Launcher)
I play alot of TR so a big part of it is made up of weapons the republic has access to.
After putting a forward grip rather than a laser sight on the T1 Cycler, I have a new favorite gun, and that's after 500 hours of experience :P
i played for 150 hours and then i decided to play medic with the TR, new favorite gun. Holy crap, where have you been my entire life sweetie
Yeah, made the same change at one point ant it really improved the gun.
Or as one of my outfit used to say:
"If a grip is available, use it!"
not on the armistice it has next to no rercoil and with the laser you dont have to ads at any given time anymore ^^
On the Armistice I acutally used the extended magazine.
Okay I used it on all the SMGs besides the Hailstorm.
Hipfire is already great but I noticed the way I play I really need the extra 10 rounds.
HappyBeezerStudios i also had the extended, but ca half way to auraxium i switched because i was getting better an missed less shots and with the laser i normaly hit em all
Top 10 list in planetside2 is fun to see
Looks like a cool game!!! Keep up the good work bro!!!
Well, not been playing long enough to get too many weapons, only played NC for the most part. Gotta say though, fave HAS to be the Merc out of what I have. The NC's old reliable. The Warden battle rifle is pretty fun too, especially when you combine grenade launcher and engineer, and become mobile artillery.
NS-11C is not too strong of a choice damage-wise but dayam I love it! Sometimes it feels like a hitscan weapon with no travel time on the bullets. Just dont equip supressor on it and you will get a reliable, controllable, almost instareloading killing machine. All it needs is MORE BATTERIES!
The best weapon is water gun I got over 20 kills in 10 min that made my day
godza zillo I don’t even have 20 total kills
My fav wep is the VX6-7... I think thats the only weap that I've used countless hours to get over 2k kills... (I usually get auraxium medal with the rest & then I stop)
omfg i need that rocket launcher.
It's amazing when well used :D
No Gauss saw!?? No ShotGun?
1) Gauss Saw
2) Gauss S rifle w/ Underbarrell attachment. Shotgun. Smoke. Gernade launcher.
3) Chaingun (also from Planetside 1 for TR)
4) Lasher
5) BettleJuice
6) Emissary
7) GD-22S
8) EM1
"Hot spewing lead of order" -Joshino 2016
My personal list:
0: betelgeuse
1: cyclone
2: light ppa
3: mercenary
4: jaguar
5: cycler
6: orion/carv/gauss saw
7: repeater
8: lancer/ravens
9: pulsar c
10: jackhammer/mattock
bonus mention to scatmaxes, ravens,vanguard shield for being op and needing a nerf ;)
I love the Phoenix. I started a new NC character and she has more kills wth the Phoenix than LMGs. Quite fun. So thanks for the ideas, I will be giving them a try. Either after a grind or when my DGC bank is high enough.
I found the TMG-50 (TR) to be very effective and fun.
Really? ive never seen someone talking about it... I will give it a try
Aaron Storm good at range for sure, easy headshots
caino666 How is the Naganta?
The new one? decent, just done some VR testing though,it's accuracy is really hurting when on the move as far as I can tell.
what team has the gun at 7:30 i cant find out
LMG's TR Bull T32 Bull, Assault Rifle VS Equinox VE2 Burst, Carbine VS Pulsar C, SMG AF-4 Cyclone rundown of each favorite in each catagory :)
Dual MUTILATORS (caps are obligatory)
You can't miss when you shoot everything.
Anyone else has issues with the Phoenix giving you warnings when you kill enemies? I killed a Tank, no friendly was near it and got a warning like I TK someone, kept happening, no matter what I did. A few other VS players say they have had it with the Default Launcher the S1.
My definitive Favorites are the "Lancer VS22" and the "Phaseshift VX-S"
My list lasher, mini chain gun, light ppa, jackhammer, phoenix power knifes ,H v 45 ,serpent,jaguar and The empire specific one shot kill shotguns.
back when the revolvers werent in the game the nc had the rebel, which did just as much damage as the revolvers do now, had a 10 shot magacine, higher fire rate and could be equipped with a silencer... but it was nerved when the revos came out just to make people buy them.
The NC14 Bolt Driver AKA the default sniper for NC is great you really don’t need to purchase any of the others
great choices, I love the tr mini chaingun! I have to try the phoenix sometime too!
My favorite from Top to Bottom. Keep in mind I play all Factions, I just get bored with VS because they are easy. and TR because they are always on overpop.#1: Stalker, #2: HunterQC, #3: NS-11A, #4: ACX-11, #5: Piston Shotgun, #6: Mag-Scatter, #7: Brawler, #8 Liberator(Duster), #9: Gauss SPR (Thunderbolt), #10: NS-Baron w/ Slugs & 4x
my gaming pc broke so i havent been able to play for a couple weeks but my favorite guns are the VS medic base gun, the CMD or whatever it is for the medic, the VS medic base gun and the TR medic base gun. basically i love medic and also i genuinely hate the other classes base guns except the LMGs teyre great too but i mean medic
haven't got to play many weapons yet but so far i like the hunter crossbow with and without explosives
also digging from what i trialed of the archer am rifle
other than that i like the NC razor for mid to longrange engagements even though it may lack the punch of other nc carbines/weapons ..
then i got the NC high cap smg (blitz?) and the NS emissary ... which are ok but not realy that cool as i hoped ...
gonna get me the tr heavygatling and see how that one plays ...
TR BRRRRT IS fun i've gotta say
Some of my favorite weapons:
1- Orion (with laser sight)
2- Reaper DMR
3- Cyclone (arguably the best SMG in-game)
4- Cycler TRV
5- Terminus
My favourites are:
1: Tsar-42
2: Bighorn .50M/Rams .50M
3: SR-7 (could be also #no 2 because sometimes it feels better than rams and bighorn)
4: PDW-16 Hailstorm
5: HSR-1 (-better than Vandal-)
6: M77-B
7: Shuriken/SMG-46Armistice
8: Hunter QCX + Melee/knives
9: TS2 Inquisitor
10: 99SV (scince the ballistic computer came out and some buffs it is pretty decent.6x still to much zoom though)
Joshino, Why do you think there aren't best weapons? There very clearly are. When people ask what's best, they want statistical advantage, so you look at time to kill, remove instant kill weapons from the equation, and boom, the ten fastest killing weapons left over are the top 10.
i feel where you're coming from with the cycler, though my ole' reliable has to be the mercenary, first thing I've ever auraxiumed. everything about it just feels right
for me, there is just too many good weapons to put them in the top 10 list. trap-m1 is great fun when you can chain headshot people well, and default sniper rifle for tr and vs are now much easier to use in all range (even close range). when you start the game you may find this weapon easier to use than that weapon but over time they are all enjoyable to use especially when you have more certs and more weapons to experience.
Joshino, do you feel that the TR are in the most new of a buff? Not to say that other factions don't need one. If so what weapons on all 3 factions would you change?
Top 10:
1) Underboss
2) Commissioner
3) Bolt Driver
4) LA8 Rebel w/ Suppressor
5) Hunter QCX
6) Railjack w/ x12 Scope
7) XM98
Idk what else because I only play Infiltrator on NC, VS and TR
They should add more weapon customisability (stocks, barrels, bipods, etc.)
On PS4, I am curious what is a good weapon besides the Vandal and side arm for the sniper class.
i search the rifle in vanu team, i think its a carabine or Lmg something it shots low firerate big blobs of light bubbles
Ns-7 PDW is a viable option for all classes lol its actually really good all faction have accses to it and is a good balance between all wepons and smg its good for scrims as well
It's enjoyable to know that most weapons are NC and those that aren't are chosen with aesthetic appeal as a large factor. Live free in the NC.
prettymuch this whole list was NC weapons and I play TR so it was hot helpful at all
Just a question, how do you feel about the MSW-R for the TR?
Its the orion reskinned and with bulletdrop. At least thats what it feels like.
Strange not many have a strong opinion of that weapon. I think it's among the top 3 LMGs for TR and among the best in general. For the TR, MSW-R, T-9 Carv, and TMG-50. That's all you need really.
Its awesome. One of my favourite lmg's for tr.
not the best but still fun to play
I've seen it used quite a bit on Briggs and from I've seen acts close the LA1 Anchor for NC. Although the range is definitely higher.
I can tell Josh was actually enjoying himself here as he was talking about his wet-dream weapons xD
Can't really think of 10 because I mainly play TR medic.
But top 5 would be:
TORQ-9
LC2 Lynx
SABR-13
T4 AMP
AMR-66/DMR-99
20: LA39 Bruiser
19: NC4 Mag Shot
18: Parallex
17: C4
16:T7 Mini Chaingun
15: NCM3 Raven
14: Sirius SX 12
13: Blitz GD 10
12: Lasher X2
11: Solstice VE3
10: Betelguise
9: T9 CARV
8: NC15 Phoenix
7: Razer GD23
6: Pulsar C
5: Eclipse
4: GD 7F
3: LC2 Lynx
2: NS Commissioner
1: AF 8 RailJack
How to have that Health/shield UI ? I have 2 crappy normal bars
Is the gd7f still viable? Or did it get nerfed too hard so it's not worth it
Seeing thia vid makes me miss ps2 since i cant play it dew to shit fps even after scowrting the internet for ways to boost it... Im scared to get on and check if fps has been fixed in fear ill be let down.. Can u tell me is the fps better
I'm not sure it really is up to your machine, a few recent patches really boosted my FPS but not some others.
U responded to my comment :p. Ok thx i guess ill check. I have amd btw
Disable shadows!
Don't know how long you haven't played, but now that it also runs on PS2 they have to do something to get it running right on those low IPC AMD chips.
***** Thx ive tried to do some boosts on my computer and gained about 15 frames but i have a 2.3 hertz laptop with no graphics card that was low end when i bought it in 2013.. Can you pls tell me some of the things you did in case i missed a few
I hope you mean 2.3 GHz, not 2.3 Hz (Which would put it into the common speed used around 1940. Even by 1974 they had around 2 MHz)
But if you really have "no" graphics card I assume it is something like an Intel GMA which were bad even in the days they were released. (You could use it for basic office stuff back then)
The year 2013 would assume it is either IvyBridge or Haswell. That would make it somewhat better, but with a 2.3 GHz dual core is still weak.
I wouldn't say I'ts impossible but don't expect anything playable.
(Although my old machine can handle medium sized fights somewhat okay (C2Q @ 4.1 GHz, 8 GB RAM, R7 250X)
how do you get the best or max stuff for each faction? im confused bout that cause i know the vanu get the heat mechanic thing but idk about the terran or NC and i main Terran so im curious to how you get it and what it is. any help?
Rip Vanu?
Could you do a video on the best new player default weapons?
The Orion is the best default lmg, hands-down. It's an MSW-R with controllable recoil that kicks up to the head and has no bullet drop. It's overpowered.
VS
LMG: excellent CQC weapon, if you don't plan on completing directives, you have no reason to change guns
AR: Solid weapon, does well in pretty much any situation, but you'll want to upgrade if you plan on specializing
Carbine: Same as AR
TR:
LMG: Carv is a good solid weapon, MSW-R for a more CQQ oriented gun
AR: What Joshino said
Carbine: Trac 5 is a piece of sh*t, get jaguar asap
NC
LMG: Guass Saw is okay if you can aim REALLY well in CQC, if not then GD-22S, more flexible and easier to use
AR: solid gun, but you'll want to change if you want to specialize
Carbine: Same as AR
For a new player playing TR. T-9 Carv, T1 Cycler. T-9 Carv has excellent muzzle velocity for the subjective range (makes a suppressor more attractive) plus a reliable amount of damage per magazine. T1 Cycler has a bit better recoil. Both fire fast.
For a new playing VS: Orion VS54. Fires fast.
For a new player playing NC: AF-19 Mercenary. Controllable weapon. Good enough hitting power down range, hip-fire. Horizontal recoil also effects hip-fire. Bigger horizontal makes even the hip-fire kick harder side to side. Mercenary, it's very controllable. ADS of course this is important as well.
Empire default pistols are good enough, but Commissioner is the best.
Haven't seen the video yet:
1. Lolpods
2. Airhammer
3. Banshee
4. PPA
5. Pounder
6. Pounder
7. Scatcannons
8. Gatekeeper
9. Pounder
10. Pounder
lol you are the definition of a farmer
Mentleman It's mostly me being salty about being farmed sometimes.
Zeppo
haha :)
Dont forget the Pounder.
oh and also the pounder, its pretty good.
I was interested in the T.V guided rocket..but apparently its an NC weapon, I cant play filth
Watch your mouth you heathen.
How do you fix lag? As i was watching your video there was a time that caught me up because normally for me I would be dead due to the other guy shooting me while he is dead.
I have a good ping and crap but I still lag like hell.
No one can complain about recoil in this game until you use the ak47 in rust.
Could I supplement the Tsar-42 for the SAS-R
+joshino dear joshino imhave a gaming laptop with a 940 graphics card nvidia and i like to play in big fights but my framerate drops plz tell me how to get more fps in nvidia
How about a top 5 for faction specific weapons only?
What TR smg would be good for running infiltrator?
i reckon i would go for the GD22 Blitz NC smg becuase i like it better but thr cyclone still isnt bad :)
Mercenary and Pulsar C you know why if you have used them.
Good that you didn’t add any of the shotguns because they are useless due to being that the continents are open and big but the shotguns are great for defending objectives
Make a top 10 best weapons video for each team
am I the only one that cant use NS weapons?
I always "overcompensate" for the recoil and miss more with any NS weapon than I would with something less controlable
My number 1:
Tank Mines
What was the sale this past weekend?
My favourite gun? No idea haven't unlock most yet cause I'm a f2p pleb but I do like the commissioner
Also when it comes to mounted weapons then the gatekeeper takes the spot
PS: what's that helmet in the thumbnail?
It's the Illuminator Helmet for TR.
illuminator you say ? thx man !
this reminds me... why did the devs give away that lumifiber helmet again ? ITS A SHINY ASS HELMET WHY WOULD PEOPLE WEAR THAT !
How do you have the old style hud, Is it a setting or just old footage?
It's a setting you can find in interface I think.
