I missed two! edit: and now a third new weapon! We will likely do a re-do of this vid mid 2024. DMR: S Tier Reasoning: It straight up shreds with .308 in 10 and 20 round mags. Accurate at a very long range. It's very loud and has no silencer, but I still give it an S. SSG: C Reasoning: Great early game sniper... but accuracy is not the best, your mileage may vary. I've had headshots properly ranged and aimed that missed. Body shot might be more reliable. Replace it when you can get something better. Derringer: D Reasoning: Better than nothing, packs a decent punch and can be sneaky... but 2 shots is really limiting, you miss even one of those shots the other guy is probably still up.
A few weeks ago I shot a sheep that was standing in a pond near the coast. When I waded out to retrieve the sheep I hit tab. There was no sheep but there was a crate. In that crate was an m16 with a full mag. I named her the "baahhhhd girl." We went on quite the adventure from the south coast all the way to Arsenovo military camp. There I got into a shootout with a guy in the tavern. While looting his body I got attacked by another player. I ran out of ammo and killed him with my fists. I went to one of the barracks to loot for more ammo and I was ambushed while loading the Baaahhhd Girl. RIP
Honestly the SKS is the best all-rounder for me. You can effectively spam it on close range and snipe mid-range with the ironsight and once you got the scope it's a solid sniper.
The sks is hands down one of the best. I love the 527 but that’s only because I’ve shot one irl. But both of them are pretty common and ammo is really easy to get
Sks is a good gun but there are more solid choices especially being how easy it is to get loot nowadays in dayz just go loot up the hunting cabins for a blaze tundra Savannah mosin anything lol go check convoy spawns maybe get a lar or aug or something good if not go loot the hospitals till you have nbc gear then go to rify get a akm or m4 go to tisy pick up a plate or improvise and do it in your own way plenty of ways to get good gear
SG5-K Is a seriously underrated gun, easy to find, 19mm can be found all over the place and with the small ACOG and suppressor it’s one of the best zombie killers. With a pristine set up you can headshot zombies at over 100m easy. Only uses 15 units of storage too.
I’d definitely go FX45 over the MKII for a zombie gun. Still shoots subsonic rounds for no bullet crack, larger mags, and can save your ass as a secondary if you get shot in your rifle and ruin it. The 45ACP rounds uncon players quite fast
5:56 - SVAL/VSS ammo got a noticeable boost in ammo availability with the most recent update. Box quantity is now commonly available, even in Tier 1 military locations. I didn't see any mention of it in the patch notes... but I have noticed it's waaay more common now.
Yeah I found a box and a small pile of loose ammo fairly quickly as a newspawn a day or two ago, makes the SVAL more viable now for CQB, previously I think a fair number of players were passing it up in favour of other rifles because of the less consistent ammo supply.
i think the spawn rates might be a bit bugged because after going through tisy once me and my squad have a total of 12 boxs of armor-piercing rounds, idk maybe we were just lucky
@@GrammarPoPo True but early game being able to reload six rounds at once without needing to find a magazine first (or find a second mag if your found gun spawned with one in) is really nice.
UMP is grossly underrated i think even at the time of this vid being posted it’s recoil was reduced significantly making it able to lay down accurate automatic fire even with an acog from 100m. super satisfying gun to use.
@@Nitno i think it was pre 1.12 the ump was really bad with ridiculous recoil but since then i’d always pick it up at least as a zombie killer cuz the 45 rounds stun lock zeds
The only downside I have with the mk2 is thats is 2x4 if I find a pistol holster its better because you can attach it to belt or vest or just keep in your inventory inside the holster making it 2x3. It just sucks that it has to be 2x4 making it somewhat awkward to keep....
My favorite agreeable point: A-tier for the Mk II pistol. Hands down, the most utilized firearm in the game, for me. I noticed a lot of other people don't agree... but it's the 2nd quietest and most versatile way to clear zombies. Sure, stealth kills make less noise, but range and opportunity make the Mk II my choice. I've cleared towns with players just a couple houses over, and they still couldn't pinpoint my location.
@@Nitno - it amazes me how few players exercise any level of sound discipline, aside from installing a suppressor. It's the quietest firearm in the game, AND capable of one-shotting zombies. What's not to love 🤷♂️
@Nitno - I have to correct myself here. A suppressed FX45 is technically more quiet, because the rounds are subsonic... so if you miss a shot, you don't have to worry about the crack alerting other people/zombies. I still use my MkII, because .22LR stacks 50 to a slot... but I've found myself using the FX45 more often. The 1911 has equal sound performance, but reloading every 7 rounds is a hassle.
While it’s a beast for taking out zombies, I’ve been in towns where someone was clearing zs with it, and it was loud as hell, it has a distinct pop sound that is pretty loud to players. Now the crossbow on the other hand….
sporter 22 shouldve been a straight s tier as a sporter connoisseur 1. ammo box with alot of quantity and good for more than just zombies 2. 50 cuts guaranteed when you knock someone and has a fastfire-rate for trigger fingers 3. good shock damage, its better to knock and tie and em before u deal the final blow 4. could be considered a early sniper and its good for scaring your foes off. overall, this is my keeping gun inland or coast, and id take it over a crappy mosin.
I like weapons that have a decent iron sight so i don't have to rely on a scope or optic. The Mosin was always that rifle i could rely on early game if i couldn't find an sks. I like the akay's and m16/m4 sights and those are practical for close to mid range. The scorpion or Glock as a nice side arm.
It's worthy to note the CR-61 Skorpion, and USG45 [UMP] are both subsonic at the muzzle... so a missed shot isn't a huge deal around zombies. The SG5 will crack within ~45m, and the Bizon ups this signature distance to a whopping ~75m... so stealthy takeouts may be an issue, if you fire with zombies in the crack zone.
As a newbie with about 50 hours under my belt I needed this. I was accruing weapons and parts without really knowing which are worth it. Been using some of the guns at the top of the list here and I'm having a blast. No PvP, but effective zombie control. Subbed to make sure I don't miss any future tier lists. (Isn't there a crossbow in the game now?)
*statistically* the VSD is the best sniper in the game, followed by the mosin and tundra, but if you consider double shot on the blaze then the blaze is the best, for assault rifles the AUR AX is *statistically* the best, by a fair bit too tbh in almost every category, good video tho man
Thank you! Yeah I was thinking more my experiences and not raw stats, but I agree with ya. The Blaze slays with the double shot if you land both, I love that wep.
@@Nitno nah Thankyou man, I literally completely agree with how you ranked the weapons tbh, especially the S tier, and yeh the blaze is very rewarding when you hit and punishing when you don’t especially with double shot lmao
the blaze is ok but its problem is the 2 rounds max. especially if you use both barrels, you basically need to have a perfect shot, no second tries. this is why the tundra always wins over the blaze for me. has 5 shots, loads reasonably fast, needs no mag and many times i had to kill more than one player, i was able to do so because of the tundra
@@hazardeur i do love the blaze but like you and I said it’s a very unforgiving gun if you aren’t accurate, that’s why the tundra is my favourite along side the VSD
Blaze definitely gets big points for not needing a magazine, it's that compromise of whether you want two rounds very quickly, or five rounds in a Mosin or Tundra. Personally I really like the Blaze as reloading two shots doesn't take as long as reloading five, and knowing you only have two does seem to mentally prepare you to shoot well. Definitely early game if I find a Blaze I feel over the moon.
S: SVD, AUG AX, M79 A: Mosin, AK M, M4, Desert Eagle, SKS, FAL B: Tundra, Blaze, M16, AK101, AK 47, Famas, Pioneer, Glock 19, FX 45, AUG A1 C: MKII, Saiga, BK43, BK133, Bizon, Savanna, IJ, CR Pistol D: Every thing else The Deagle is by far my favourite handgun, Ive won many gunfights against people with M16s and AKs using only the Deagle. I feel alot safer running around in cities with the Deagle than with Machine Guns, as its also alot smaller. The best Sniper is easily the SVD; high ammo, most powerfull sniper ammo, best sight in game after the ACOG 6 (PSO 1 is lighted, distance measurement system, good zoom for every common scenario) and can take a metal supressor. Tundra, Blaze and Savanna are rated so low because the Sight is the worst. Its only efficient at ranges that I wouldnt take shots on anyways, its zoom is way to high for mid distances, and you cant measure the distance with the sight. The PU Scope is much better, so is the Mosin as the bullets fly also much faster and do more shock damage. My go-to set of Weapons if I could only choose 2 weapons would be: SVD and Deagle, if I could choose 3 id probably pick the M79. If I could only choose one weapon itd be the AUG AX as its the most multifunctional weapon in game.
Never leave your side arm at home. Best example I can give is this when u get knock it’s kinda faster to pull pistol out then find gun on ground then turn a shoot 💯
I would call the AK 74 S teir, mainly because first off the AK 74 has an assault rifle and a carbine version, it has extremely plentiful rounds, like 5.45 is so common especially in police stations, it has decent sized magazine options, and Russian optics particularly the cobra are pretty good and also on a lot of modded servers particularly ones that have shops it’s the cheapest assault rifle
I've seen some gnarly stuff down with the repeater and used it a lot myself. Just wish it worked with the hunting scope and/or shot 308 instead of 357.
I always used to make it a point to find an LAR, but after I found out that you can't use anything but a bottle suppressor on it, I left them alone. My "go-to" load-out that I make concentrated efforts to gather is usually a KA-M with those lovely 75-round mags, and a Mosin or Tundra (VSD if I can ever bloody find one!). And then an FX-45 for that lovely .45ACP love. :) I usually find a crap ton of the .45ACP, 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 ammo over almost all other ammo types anyway.
I used the USG in base raids to great effect and think it should at least be in the B Tier. For best effect use burst at approx Chest level. It will walk up. Not very useful beyond about 50M. I use the Famas quite a bit. A Tier is good. I don't really use Sniper Rifles, so no comment. I tend to allow the unaware, to go on about their business. I go to great pains in avoiding a Weapons discharge. I don't like the attention. For the most part I leave other Players and their Bases alone. My last base Raid was on a Crew that located in order to wipe Freshies. Word got back to us and we accepted the challenge. We took a 6 man Team, and lost two en route. Once there, we wiped around 20 and cleaned out their Stockpile. After all was said and done, we were picking up loot from dead Zeds and Players and some fresh Spawn that I guarantee was one of them with a serious case of the red @ss tried to jump me bare-handed. I lit him up with two short bursts from the USG. Then I took his Apple and Bandages.
I just started playing this week and the mkII was one of my favorite guns once I picked it up I passed it once bc didn't realize it was silenced already and I still die from zombies more than I should
I usually try to avoid PVP unless I have the element of surprise…for me my ideal setup is a Longhorn w/ scope, and any handgun w/ mag. Keeping quiet and light is ideal.
You kinda did the scorpion and bizon dirty, I would give both B Tier just due to the fact that .380 ACP spawns so frequently at PD's. Not to mention if you lack an automatic weapon, it comes in handy. I definitely can sacrifice the 4 extra slots for a better ammo and full auto pistol.
The Le-Mas is REALLY good, the ammount of times i killed someone in less than 1 second with that gun is insane. You can also use a saw to remove that annoying thing that blocks the sight , i dont know if that messes with dmg tho
The SVD has always been one of my favourite weapons since it was added, great power, good scope attachment, and semi-auto magazine fed. Yes the Mosin is way better early game with the feature of not needing magazines, but once you get a couple of mags for the SVD it's just one of the best long range rifles in the game for actual combat, and I don't mean purely long range combat but the ability to hold your own if you're jumped at closer ranges and need to fire rapidly, it'll save your skin. The only disadvantage is the length, it becomes really cumbersome in buildings, so I rate the CR-527 highly for its compactness even though the Tundra beats it in power and effective range.
wow i have the USG45 now and it's fully kitted and i have almost no recoil. i had no idea people consider this the worst gun in the game. I have an m16 a2 too right now which i'd prefer for a full out battle but the USG45 is really nice for stealth play.
Good points for sure. I guess I don't have a ton of experience with a kitted 45 and this is mostly based of my experiences. I usually go for a harder hitting gun. But I do believe USG45 can shred in close quarters sometimes. Like you said almost no recoil.
I'm glad this video is based on your person opinions rather than stat numbers. In my experience, weapon stats should usually be all but ignored in video games. I can't count the number of times across countless games where the stats shown didn't accurately portray the weapon, or at least didn't tell the whole story of the weapon, and the best gun in the game had lower stats than another gun that I felt didn't really stack up. Going by stat numbers alone is a great way to create the potential for missing out on a weapon that might serve you way better than the one the stats say are best.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah totally. Often the best stats is not always the one that just feels right. Sometimes a lesser stat gun can somehow feel great!
The last time i played with a sporter, i was running around in a town, it was getting dark and i came face to face with another guy. I put probably 8 or 9 rounds in his upper chest / neck. Dude just walked away and i lost him in the dark
M16 is my S tier go to weapon because it will one burst ko plate users that for me makes it the best ar and if you can learn its recoil and dont mind tye site you will kill a player every burst sometimes iv beat 1v4 just because iv fired 4 times.
Content I have never seen is a rated explanation of what gear pro players like to wear for different situations... Running and gunning... Looting... Reasons why some are better for different situations. Lastly, sub sonic rapid fire self silencing next to the LAR and m18. I'm in Novaya and Vavilova suckers...
Honestly, the LAR is hated, its the best gun for me, many people say that the M4 or the AUR AX is better but honestly I have never got an M4 or AUR AX in my hands in vanilla, yes they are good guns but the LAR is insanely good. With one to four bullets you will at least uncon anyone if you don't kill him. The mag is difficult to find as well but it's worth all the effort. The gun is like a sniper as well, with the ACOG sight you can use it as an assault rifle and a sniper. The bullets are also difficult to find as well so its difficult to max one of these. Also, I don't know why people forget the M16 so fast, the gun is very good, it's like an M4 but without auto mode. Mainly the M4 is used for raids because of its auto mode, but the M16 is found at almost any military base and people don't take it just for its Burst mode. I think the gun is very good, it's very easy to get the bullets, the mag and the gun itself. For me, a gun that has been abandoned for almost the entire DayZ players.
Personally I believe any Heavy hitting rifle is an S-tier but that's because I hold the value of what is more important to me? Spending large amounts of ammunition to suppress an enemy and eventually take them down or do I want something I know will put someone down hard. Any weapon firing more than 7.62x39mm (So the 7.62x54 and .308WIN) is my weapon of choice, that's why these weapons are the rarest to find in the game, because they hurt.
Now let's remember everyone has the gun opinion I've seen people say the repeater is one of their favorite guns, I've also heard people say the long horn is a Savage of a gun. I'd like to see all these guns shown while in game showing how far their range is and the damage that the guns will do close and far range, probably not an easy thing to do but that's one thing I've always wondered, even with all the hours of play. 🤔🤔
For me the Spotter is a nice gun and a funny one to play, you just need to know how to use it. HS and a silencer mounted in it can be a potential damage, The objective is not to kill, but to bleead out.
I think the Aug ax is better than the m4, it has more controllable recoil, and with a silencer and a 6x scope it absolutely beams people at long range.
SSG: C Reasoning: Great early game sniper... but accuracy is not the best, your mileage may vary. I've had headshots properly ranged and aimed that missed. Body shot might be more reliable. Replace it when you can get something better.
Im wondering if a single shot from a VSD is more powerful than a single shot from a M70 tundra.... the vsd uses the stronger 7.62x54Rmm.. and the m70 uses the 308 wins.. which are 7.62x42 i do believe its slightly more powerful than the standard 7.62x39 which is nato rounds
I believe statistically by raw numbers, Tundra Does slightly more Health Damage than the VSD. VSD shines in it's quickness to fire off rapid shots though with a mag.
The degal is the best zombie killing pistol in my opinion because it is the most quit gun with a suppressor and normally takes 1 to 3 shots to kill a military zombie depending on where you hit but I rarely use it for killing military and that is why I think the degal should be higher than the other pistols
Hey Nitno! Great guide! Im almost reaching my first Tier 3 zone! I have a question. is it safe to wash your bloodied hands, before eating, at any water source or only at pumps? Thanks!
I would rate the machine pistols higher. Especially as starter weapons when most fights take place within short range. I just can’t see how you would want a pistol in the same caliber with less capacity firing semi auto.
Sporter should've been a C tier. Near-zero sound signature, and still able to one shot zombies in town from the tree line. 30 round mag and plentiful ammo, combined with a suppressor AND the hunting scope. I carry one at all times, even in Tier 4 locations, for the super low sound signature. I can clear most areas without being detected, without the hassles of ammo rarity that come with the VSS or SVAL. Plus... if I get killed, who cares? I can get a full kit Sporter and 100 rounds of ammo in 30 minutes. You might play for 3 days, and never see a VSS or SVAL, much less find the magazines/ammo/accessories.
Personally I like the makarov. I like the sights, and it’s got a decent capacity. It’s not the best, but it’s a pretty fun pistol. I once got 6-7 magazines and just went wild. I ended up killing probably about 40-50 infected and two players before I was inevitably shot
I tend to always switch to a Glock or CR-75 once I find one, but I do like how available .380 seems to be, if you want to actually use your pistol a lot then it really shines, even if it doesn't have many attachment options. One of my most memorable kills was when I literally just found a Makarov in a police station, was in the upper large room, and a guy ran in about to kill me, only had two rounds in the mag it spawned with and I managed to drop him.
@@G1NZOUI mostly like using .380 because I hate using meta weapons. I will take a bizon and an IJ, and I’ll often take a sporter or crossbow for a bit of range. I prefer the stealth of .22 and bolts, and the fear that getting hit without any clue from where makes people panic
@@digitaal_boog Same, I tend to run around with a CR527 myself as I'm more of a scout and hunt type of player, avoiding firefights for the most part and only shooting to hunt. And zeds I normally try to avoid or take out with sneak melee or a suppressed pistol.
Obviously, it's not a gun, but am I the one running around with a crossbow?🤔 I always think about leaving at the base but end up with that 45 slot on my back every time.🙄
Yes the double barrel shotty, use the red shells if you can (buckshot). For real, even in end game this is one of the best weapons at close range, building to building type fighting. The shock damage alone will knock players out, then you can finish em.
I have the most simple and best load out like there’s really no debate imo with rocking a LAR and AUR AX. Lar is a perfect AR that is literally a top 3 listed sniper. You get one of the best mid to long range AR/snipers in the game in one gun for the LAR, while having the best close range to mid range AR in the game with the AUR AX. Deadliest combo for anyone who isn’t just strictly a sniper because ofc obviously the hardcore sniper community has a much different opinion on the snipers than the average player but most players would rather the sniper that can instantly be a deadly AR by switching to full auto lol
The M70 vs CR550 doesn't make sense. They're basically the same except that CR550 is magazine fed. Otherwise they have the same damage, same accuracy and same ammo, recoil doesn't matter all that much on a sniper rifle. The CR550 magazines seem decently easy enough to find, I'm currently running x2 10rnd mags for the CR550 with a hunting scope, and I've passed up on several tundra as the tundra is inferior in most ways.
I've killed nobody with a gun, well maybe 1 person. I've killed dozens with fists or impact weapons, mostly through rapid breaching. I'm usually on low pop servers so I dunno. Whenever I got the guns and ammo, no people around.
I understand that you put the MP5-k in a low tier, BUT it makes little sense why any pistol like the Glock scores higher. when you have 900 rps vs semi auto with equal damage output. great video nontheless.
Many of my approaches on handguns came down to usefulness in mid-end game. As you gear up, eventually handguns change roles to become solely suppressed zombie killer. At this point you'll likely have better main weapons than an SMG.

3. good shock damage, its better to knock and tie and em before u deal the final blow
4. could be considered a early sniper and its good for scaring your foes off.
overall, this is my keeping gun inland or coast, and id take it over a crappy mosin.
On the coast, yep haha. Absolutely peppering fools!
I like weapons that have a decent iron sight so i don't have to rely on a scope or optic.
The Mosin was always that rifle i could rely on early game if i couldn't find an sks.
I like the akay's and m16/m4 sights and those are practical for close to mid range.
The scorpion or Glock as a nice side arm.
Agreed!
It's worthy to note the CR-61 Skorpion, and USG45 [UMP] are both subsonic at the muzzle... so a missed shot isn't a huge deal around zombies. The SG5 will crack within ~45m, and the Bizon ups this signature distance to a whopping ~75m... so stealthy takeouts may be an issue, if you fire with zombies in the crack zone.
Good tips!!
The vaiga is my fav raid gun when u get in the actual base it’s the best clearing gun
Good point!
The AK-74 is always going to be #1 for me. I've had the best luck with that gun over any other gun in the game, next to the M4.
Oh nice! Yeah a lot of this is subjective, everyones got their go to gun :)
I appreciate your tables/graphics/tables for the weapons. Honestly your thorough breakdown. Thank you.
Anytime, thanks for the comment!
Awesome tier list, can't wait for the gears and clothes ones, thumbs up from france
Bonjour! 👍
Such an unbelievably helpful guide. Recently subbed, great videos man!
Thank you Phizzy!!!
As a newbie with about 50 hours under my belt I needed this. I was accruing weapons and parts without really knowing which are worth it. Been using some of the guns at the top of the list here and I'm having a blast. No PvP, but effective zombie control.
Subbed to make sure I don't miss any future tier lists. (Isn't there a crossbow in the game now?)
Awesome! Glad I could help out! I've got more beginner guides too.
@@Nitno I've been watching them. :)
Sleeping on the VSS it has fully auto with a built in suppressor you pack that with AP ammo will eat through your target
Very true
*statistically* the VSD is the best sniper in the game, followed by the mosin and tundra, but if you consider double shot on the blaze then the blaze is the best, for assault rifles the AUR AX is *statistically* the best, by a fair bit too tbh in almost every category, good video tho man
Thank you! Yeah I was thinking more my experiences and not raw stats, but I agree with ya. The Blaze slays with the double shot if you land both, I love that wep.
@@Nitno nah Thankyou man, I literally completely agree with how you ranked the weapons tbh, especially the S tier, and yeh the blaze is very rewarding when you hit and punishing when you don’t especially with double shot lmao
the blaze is ok but its problem is the 2 rounds max. especially if you use both barrels, you basically need to have a perfect shot, no second tries. this is why the tundra always wins over the blaze for me. has 5 shots, loads reasonably fast, needs no mag and many times i had to kill more than one player, i was able to do so because of the tundra
@@hazardeur i do love the blaze but like you and I said it’s a very unforgiving gun if you aren’t accurate, that’s why the tundra is my favourite along side the VSD
Blaze definitely gets big points for not needing a magazine, it's that compromise of whether you want two rounds very quickly, or five rounds in a Mosin or Tundra. Personally I really like the Blaze as reloading two shots doesn't take as long as reloading five, and knowing you only have two does seem to mentally prepare you to shoot well.
Definitely early game if I find a Blaze I feel over the moon.
S: SVD, AUG AX, M79
A: Mosin, AK M, M4, Desert Eagle, SKS, FAL
B: Tundra, Blaze, M16, AK101, AK 47, Famas, Pioneer, Glock 19, FX 45, AUG A1
C: MKII, Saiga, BK43, BK133, Bizon, Savanna, IJ, CR Pistol
D: Every thing else
The Deagle is by far my favourite handgun, Ive won many gunfights against people with M16s and AKs using only the Deagle. I feel alot safer running around in cities with the Deagle than with Machine Guns, as its also alot smaller.
The best Sniper is easily the SVD; high ammo, most powerfull sniper ammo, best sight in game after the ACOG 6 (PSO 1 is lighted, distance measurement system, good zoom for every common scenario) and can take a metal supressor.
Tundra, Blaze and Savanna are rated so low because the Sight is the worst. Its only efficient at ranges that I wouldnt take shots on anyways, its zoom is way to high for mid distances, and you cant measure the distance with the sight. The PU Scope is much better, so is the Mosin as the bullets fly also much faster and do more shock damage.
My go-to set of Weapons if I could only choose 2 weapons would be:
SVD and Deagle,
if I could choose 3 id probably pick the M79.
If I could only choose one weapon itd be the AUG AX as its the most multifunctional weapon in game.
Nice write up!
So the LAR is D tier?
@@Broski__ I mentioned it at A-Tier (FAL)
@@BubbenKopp Gotcha.
Never leave your side arm at home. Best example I can give is this when u get knock it’s kinda faster to pull pistol out then find gun on ground then turn a shoot 💯
Good thinking!
I would call the AK 74 S teir, mainly because first off the AK 74 has an assault rifle and a carbine version, it has extremely plentiful rounds, like 5.45 is so common especially in police stations, it has decent sized magazine options, and Russian optics particularly the cobra are pretty good and also on a lot of modded servers particularly ones that have shops it’s the cheapest assault rifle
I could see that!
I've seen some gnarly stuff down with the repeater and used it a lot myself. Just wish it worked with the hunting scope and/or shot 308 instead of 357.
Oh for real! Yeah I have not had the best of luck with it, but I believe it.
I always used to make it a point to find an LAR, but after I found out that you can't use anything but a bottle suppressor on it, I left them alone. My "go-to" load-out that I make concentrated efforts to gather is usually a KA-M with those lovely 75-round mags, and a Mosin or Tundra (VSD if I can ever bloody find one!). And then an FX-45 for that lovely .45ACP love. :) I usually find a crap ton of the .45ACP, 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 ammo over almost all other ammo types anyway.
KAM with 75 rnd shreds!
I have to agree with these, although I do have a soft spot for the SVAL myself.
Truee SVAL is nice, it's just so rare I have very limited experience with it!
Do more tier lists like this! Just like another viewer said
I think I might have to now!
I think lar is underestimated it's most useful weapon to takecare of wearing plate players
Solid point
I used the USG in base raids to great effect and think it should at least be in the B Tier. For best effect use burst at approx Chest level. It will walk up. Not very useful beyond about 50M. I use the Famas quite a bit. A Tier is good. I don't really use Sniper Rifles, so no comment. I tend to allow the unaware, to go on about their business. I go to great pains in avoiding a Weapons discharge. I don't like the attention. For the most part I leave other Players and their Bases alone. My last base Raid was on a Crew that located in order to wipe Freshies. Word got back to us and we accepted the challenge. We took a 6 man Team, and lost two en route. Once there, we wiped around 20 and cleaned out their Stockpile. After all was said and done, we were picking up loot from dead Zeds and Players and some fresh Spawn that I guarantee was one of them with a serious case of the red @ss tried to jump me bare-handed. I lit him up with two short bursts from the USG. Then I took his Apple and Bandages.
Great comment! Love the stories like these. Topped it off with a fresh apple!
You had me sold by putting the sks at an A tier rating. Love that thing.
Old reliable SKS!
I just started playing this week and the mkII was one of my favorite guns once I picked it up I passed it once bc didn't realize it was silenced already and I still die from zombies more than I should
Awesome to hear, yeah it's a great weapon for Zombie slaying. Good luck out there, if you can put a solid 50 hours in the game really starts to click!
I usually try to avoid PVP unless I have the element of surprise…for me my ideal setup is a Longhorn w/ scope, and any handgun w/ mag. Keeping quiet and light is ideal.
Nice yep!
You kinda did the scorpion and bizon dirty, I would give both B Tier just due to the fact that .380 ACP spawns so frequently at PD's. Not to mention if you lack an automatic weapon, it comes in handy. I definitely can sacrifice the 4 extra slots for a better ammo and full auto pistol.
I could see that! Thanks for commenting.
The Le-Mas is REALLY good, the ammount of times i killed someone in less than 1 second with that gun is insane. You can also use a saw to remove that annoying thing that blocks the sight , i dont know if that messes with dmg tho
Shouldn't change damage by sawing off. Yeah that thing RIPS close range.
Sawing off the FAMAS reduces its durability though
@@slugmaster64 interesting
@@slugmaster64 How do you know? Really, a genuine question-thank you.
@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe DayZ wiki shows a 10% reduction in durability once sawn off.
Another great video! So cool that you give detailed explanations with pros and cons. Thank you! 🙇🏼♀️
Thanks for the comment! Anytime!
The SVD has always been one of my favourite weapons since it was added, great power, good scope attachment, and semi-auto magazine fed.
Yes the Mosin is way better early game with the feature of not needing magazines, but once you get a couple of mags for the SVD it's just one of the best long range rifles in the game for actual combat, and I don't mean purely long range combat but the ability to hold your own if you're jumped at closer ranges and need to fire rapidly, it'll save your skin.
The only disadvantage is the length, it becomes really cumbersome in buildings, so I rate the CR-527 highly for its compactness even though the Tundra beats it in power and effective range.
SVD shreds for sure!
wow i have the USG45 now and it's fully kitted and i have almost no recoil. i had no idea people consider this the worst gun in the game. I have an m16 a2 too right now which i'd prefer for a full out battle but the USG45 is really nice for stealth play.
Good points for sure. I guess I don't have a ton of experience with a kitted 45 and this is mostly based of my experiences. I usually go for a harder hitting gun. But I do believe USG45 can shred in close quarters sometimes. Like you said almost no recoil.
I love anything with an internal mag. My shooting/aiming is so bad in PVP it’s not worth wasting too much time on the perfect weapon 😂
I can relate to this 😂
I'm glad this video is based on your person opinions rather than stat numbers. In my experience, weapon stats should usually be all but ignored in video games. I can't count the number of times across countless games where the stats shown didn't accurately portray the weapon, or at least didn't tell the whole story of the weapon, and the best gun in the game had lower stats than another gun that I felt didn't really stack up. Going by stat numbers alone is a great way to create the potential for missing out on a weapon that might serve you way better than the one the stats say are best.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah totally. Often the best stats is not always the one that just feels right. Sometimes a lesser stat gun can somehow feel great!
The last time i played with a sporter, i was running around in a town, it was getting dark and i came face to face with another guy. I put probably 8 or 9 rounds in his upper chest / neck. Dude just walked away and i lost him in the dark
Oh dang, that dude was probably had many holes in him!
Great video
Thanks Mr.Blank!
Akm and vaiga are S tier because of their raiding capabilities
Ahhh I was not taking that into account as I don't raid a lot. But as a raider perspective I can totally see that!
M16 is my S tier go to weapon because it will one burst ko plate users that for me makes it the best ar and if you can learn its recoil and dont mind tye site you will kill a player every burst sometimes iv beat 1v4 just because iv fired 4 times.
Great points!
Sks i fucking love it , 9 rounds , no scope , i hunt no scope rl , know your rifle and youll hit any target no matter how far (practice)
Love the SKS, old trusty!
No gun is bad at the right range any gun is powerful
Very true
Great List Just One Critique The Bk 43 Is High A it Is Just So Good At Close Ranges And Has Slugs
I could see that!
The KAM being an A tier?? I’ve never been more offended in my life. I’ve dropped so many guys with plate carriers thanks to my trusty KAM.
I know its crazy that people can different opinions!
Content I have never seen is a rated explanation of what gear pro players like to wear for different situations...
Running and gunning...
Looting...
Reasons why some are better for different situations.
Lastly, sub sonic rapid fire self silencing next to the LAR and m18. I'm in Novaya and Vavilova suckers...
Hmm, 9 times out of 10 it's Plate Carrier and Assault/Ballistic helmet. Plate makes you heavier but it's just too good to give up.
Honestly, the LAR is hated, its the best gun for me, many people say that the M4 or the AUR AX is better but honestly I have never got an M4 or AUR AX in my hands in vanilla, yes they are good guns but the LAR is insanely good. With one to four bullets you will at least uncon anyone if you don't kill him. The mag is difficult to find as well but it's worth all the effort. The gun is like a sniper as well, with the ACOG sight you can use it as an assault rifle and a sniper. The bullets are also difficult to find as well so its difficult to max one of these.
Also, I don't know why people forget the M16 so fast, the gun is very good, it's like an M4 but without auto mode. Mainly the M4 is used for raids because of its auto mode, but the M16 is found at almost any military base and people don't take it just for its Burst mode. I think the gun is very good, it's very easy to get the bullets, the mag and the gun itself. For me, a gun that has been abandoned for almost the entire DayZ players.
Good comment! I like hearing other's opinions for sure.
Personally I believe any Heavy hitting rifle is an S-tier but that's because I hold the value of what is more important to me? Spending large amounts of ammunition to suppress an enemy and eventually take them down or do I want something I know will put someone down hard. Any weapon firing more than 7.62x39mm (So the 7.62x54 and .308WIN) is my weapon of choice, that's why these weapons are the rarest to find in the game, because they hurt.
Solid reasoning! Thanks for the comment!
I couldn’t agree more about the repeater carbine, it almost got me killed before 😂
haha totally!
Now let's remember everyone has the gun opinion I've seen people say the repeater is one of their favorite guns, I've also heard people say the long horn is a Savage of a gun. I'd like to see all these guns shown while in game showing how far their range is and the damage that the guns will do close and far range, probably not an easy thing to do but that's one thing I've always wondered, even with all the hours of play. 🤔🤔
Check out Wobo. He's more of the DayZ Scientist.
Speed, like fire rate or bullet speed? Need to clarify for future videos
I'll keep it mind for 2024
Suppressed USG-45, suppressed FX-45, Suppressed scoped Tundra, only 2 ammo types to carry, lo volume SMG/Pistol combo, #TeamTundra.
All good choices!
The only issue is the USG-45 needs to hit too many times to drop anything.
The tundra and 550 are the exact same gun, I’d even give the edge to the 550 because of the 10rd mag
550 has more recoil and Is slightly less accurate so I prefer the tundra, but the 550 is still a great sniper
I agree with you man, the only problem i've got with it, is that you have to find the dang mag🤣
Similar, but not the exact same :)
Talking about snipers, I love Mosin, but it's almost double the weight of Tundra and that's a deal breaker for me.
For me the Spotter is a nice gun and a funny one to play, you just need to know how to use it. HS and a silencer mounted in it can be a potential damage, The objective is not to kill, but to bleead out.
I could see that for sure.
I just love the 22 rifle so much, idc if it sucks
It is very satisfying
I feel that the M4 and the Saiga 12 break too fast for me, but I usually play on PvE servers, so yeah.
They do get durability pretty quickly.
I think the Aug ax is better than the m4, it has more controllable recoil, and with a silencer and a 6x scope it absolutely beams people at long range.
Good feedback for sure. I could see that.
Thx this is very helpful for choosing guns
You are welcome!
Was wondering where the SSG-45 bolt action would land on this tier list
SSG: C
Reasoning: Great early game sniper... but accuracy is not the best, your mileage may vary. I've had headshots properly ranged and aimed that missed. Body shot might be more reliable. Replace it when you can get something better.
is called SSG80
Im wondering if a single shot from a VSD is more powerful than a single shot from a M70 tundra.... the vsd uses the stronger 7.62x54Rmm.. and the m70 uses the 308 wins.. which are 7.62x42 i do believe its slightly more powerful than the standard 7.62x39 which is nato rounds
I believe statistically by raw numbers, Tundra Does slightly more Health Damage than the VSD. VSD shines in it's quickness to fire off rapid shots though with a mag.
The degal is the best zombie killing pistol in my opinion because it is the most quit gun with a suppressor and normally takes 1 to 3 shots to kill a military zombie depending on where you hit but I rarely use it for killing military and that is why I think the degal should be higher than the other pistols
I could see that
The revolver is in the S tier for being badass
Love that wep also!
i always find good guns but without ammo for them 😢😢
Happens to me all the time too!
The double barrel sawed off 😘
It does the job!
Hey Nitno! Great guide! Im almost reaching my first Tier 3 zone! I have a question. is it safe to wash your bloodied hands, before eating, at any water source or only at pumps? Thanks!
Any source of water! you can even wash hands with alcohol.
I would rate the machine pistols higher. Especially as starter weapons when most fights take place within short range. I just can’t see how you would want a pistol in the same caliber with less capacity firing semi auto.
Solid reasoning!
Sporter should've been a C tier. Near-zero sound signature, and still able to one shot zombies in town from the tree line. 30 round mag and plentiful ammo, combined with a suppressor AND the hunting scope. I carry one at all times, even in Tier 4 locations, for the super low sound signature. I can clear most areas without being detected, without the hassles of ammo rarity that come with the VSS or SVAL. Plus... if I get killed, who cares? I can get a full kit Sporter and 100 rounds of ammo in 30 minutes. You might play for 3 days, and never see a VSS or SVAL, much less find the magazines/ammo/accessories.
I could see that!
Savanna is also very shaky when aiming down sight it’s like you’re dude is breathing heavy
Yeah there is something about it.
Great video much love from canada 🎉🇨🇦
Thanks!
Personally I like the makarov. I like the sights, and it’s got a decent capacity. It’s not the best, but it’s a pretty fun pistol. I once got 6-7 magazines and just went wild. I ended up killing probably about 40-50 infected and two players before I was inevitably shot
That is awesome haha. Agreed it's a great wep.
I tend to always switch to a Glock or CR-75 once I find one, but I do like how available .380 seems to be, if you want to actually use your pistol a lot then it really shines, even if it doesn't have many attachment options.
One of my most memorable kills was when I literally just found a Makarov in a police station, was in the upper large room, and a guy ran in about to kill me, only had two rounds in the mag it spawned with and I managed to drop him.
@@G1NZOUI mostly like using .380 because I hate using meta weapons. I will take a bizon and an IJ, and I’ll often take a sporter or crossbow for a bit of range. I prefer the stealth of .22 and bolts, and the fear that getting hit without any clue from where makes people panic
@@digitaal_boog Same, I tend to run around with a CR527 myself as I'm more of a scout and hunt type of player, avoiding firefights for the most part and only shooting to hunt. And zeds I normally try to avoid or take out with sneak melee or a suppressed pistol.
I love me a vaiga for sneaking up behind people and then being not so sneaky
boom boom boom boom
@@Nitno that’s all it takes, shells are super common and if you aim for the head it’s over in two clicks if they got a helmet on 😉
Yipeeeee just found an Aur Ax in a hell crash!!
Niceee, enjoy!
Obviously, it's not a gun, but am I the one running around with a crossbow?🤔 I always think about leaving at the base but end up with that 45 slot on my back every time.🙄
Haha yep the crossbow is awesome, so good for taking out zeds.
2:54 ts made me laugh my ass off it’s so true
hah!
@@Nitno he responded?!?🥲🙏
Have you got any suggestions for guns to use if you have crap aim?
Yes the double barrel shotty, use the red shells if you can (buckshot). For real, even in end game this is one of the best weapons at close range, building to building type fighting.
The shock damage alone will knock players out, then you can finish em.
Nothing scarier than a freshie with an IJ70 and a dream😂
Haha so true! The IJ Dream is real!
i just gave a freshie my backup ij with two mags some food and soda and sent him on his way to cherno lol
I have the most simple and best load out like there’s really no debate imo with rocking a LAR and AUR AX. Lar is a perfect AR that is literally a top 3 listed sniper. You get one of the best mid to long range AR/snipers in the game in one gun for the LAR, while having the best close range to mid range AR in the game with the AUR AX. Deadliest combo for anyone who isn’t just strictly a sniper because ofc obviously the hardcore sniper community has a much different opinion on the snipers than the average player but most players would rather the sniper that can instantly be a deadly AR by switching to full auto lol
Solid loadout!
Why do you like the m4 more than the akm?
That is tough, it's a toss up. I guess I would lean more towards the M4 for the high fire rate and I like the available scopes better.
Blaze is easily S tier, if you shoot double the damages is off the charts and uncomparable to any of the other snipers
Good point!
Mosin should be A tier IMO, just for lack of better scopes, its a great gun but not on the level of a Tundra
Good point
The M70 vs CR550 doesn't make sense. They're basically the same except that CR550 is magazine fed. Otherwise they have the same damage, same accuracy and same ammo, recoil doesn't matter all that much on a sniper rifle. The CR550 magazines seem decently easy enough to find, I'm currently running x2 10rnd mags for the CR550 with a hunting scope, and I've passed up on several tundra as the tundra is inferior in most ways.
Great feedback!
I sneezed and shit myself watching this, great video! 👍
Clean up on isle 9!
I see like a pattern im your ranking which makes me think, ranking weapontiers on their own would make more sence
I could see that
I've killed nobody with a gun, well maybe 1 person. I've killed dozens with fists or impact weapons, mostly through rapid breaching. I'm usually on low pop servers so I dunno. Whenever I got the guns and ammo, no people around.
Ah yeah low pop, makes sense :)
nice video bro🥰
Thank you!
Honestly the Aug a1 shouldn't have been a heli crash item
I could see that
Lar s tier but agree with all the others. Maybe it's because my best moments have been with it in my hands😅😂
Lar is solid for sure!
I understand that you put the MP5-k in a low tier, BUT it makes little sense why any pistol like the Glock scores higher. when you have 900 rps vs semi auto with equal damage output.
great video nontheless.
Many of my approaches on handguns came down to usefulness in mid-end game. As you gear up, eventually handguns change roles to become solely suppressed zombie killer. At this point you'll likely have better main weapons than an SMG.
@@Nitno that explains it. thank you
Anytime! 🤠
LAR with 10 mags, 2 scopes and 5 boxes of amo. You dont need anything else. The best weapon in my opinion.
there you go! Heck yeah
The m79 is ss tir bro I've killed 5 ppl in on shot few times and more then i can remember 2 kills or sweet over the head wall splash damage kills
That's awesome haha, I want to see a clip!!
What's right give it the Ole "D"!
DD
VSD and AUR AX are my two best weapons!
Yeah? Solid weapons for sure!
Which scopes are you using? T eh night vision ones suck so bad for normal close melee hits.
Best long distance gun and stopping power for hunting?
Probably the Mosin Tundra or Savana would be almost equal.
