The C96 is interesting in that it works in game exactly the same way that it does in real life. Not mechanically, but in the way that people perceive it. People see a C96 and think "Oh wow, I can't wait to check that out!" And then they shoot it and all of that interest melts away.
@@Martin-zg7hx Perhaps, but I'd take a 1911 in combat to a C96 any day of the week. Stripper clips are incredibly jank under pressure and the whole gun is far too complicated for its own good.

Honestly the biggest reason I use the C96 in game is the high muzzle velocity, pair with the General Liu or Rsc and you'll secure ranged kills easier than other pistols (a pocket Mars). The C96 won't save you in close quarters, but both the GL and Rsc are sufficient at that range.@@professormemsclass
I just got back into the game after years away and decided that the first thing I wanted to do was actually 100% the campaign for all the weapon skins and also unlock the Peacemaker. It was really fun, and now I totally dominate most trench rush matches I play because I was patient enough to unlock it. It wasn’t even all that hard and I’m on console and transcribed the Morse manually (except the Albion Morse, my ears just couldn’t parse it even slowed down), I’m surprised I don’t see more of them, even from people at 150.
I just got the game two or three years ago, and keep thinking like let’s see the process, it shouldn’t be too long or difficult. Then I get blasted with numerous different possible Morse codes and I just immediately go yeah so I might hold off. Like, the animations are cool, it’s a pretty cool gun, but the Easter egg takes forever if you don’t have friends or the commitment like you do
@@Ww1whiz1914 Just space it out over a few days or a week. The first couple Easter eggs are easy to just follow the steps, no Morse translation required.

As someone who has the Peacekeeper, I'll say that while as a gun it's amazing, as a sidearm it's actually somewhat lackluster. The reason is simple: its worst-in-class, nearly 1 second draw time. This is a massive disadvantage in the most common situation you'll find yourself reaching for a pistol, that being "oh crap I just ran out of primary ammo, time to panic fire." To use an example, by the time you are able to actually shoot the Peacekeeper, the Mle 1903 could have hit you three times already and be well on the way to delivering the coup de grace. If you're using it as essentially an alternate primary then it can work really well, but as an emergency backup I'd go so far as to say that almost any other pistol is a more viable option.
Despite many being reskins or having weird damage models, I still love the quantity approach BF1 took to its sidearms, especially when there's so much quality to seeing all the weird late 19th/early 20th century sidearms coming to life and doing their thing: The Nagant's sweet reloads which you mentioned previously, both on the alternating individual and the removal of the whole cylinder, the Kolibri not only existing but having the greatest 3rd person prone animation to boot, the Mars Automatic having the piggish recoil it was described as having in navy tests as it's overcomplex mechanism cycles, the C-93 being so commanding and back heavy as its doorknob looking toggle flicks or just this game introducing me to my favorite gun to the point it made me want to work towards animating it (badly) myself: The former Austrian bricky 9mm; the bullet-spewing Steyr-Hahn M1912 (my beloved). Even just the little spinny that happens a good chunk of times I whip the Howdah out for a spin before smattering someone with enough bullets to put down a grown buffalo. And the Peacekeeper is the embodiment of "bones spinning sticks of steel are sooo hardcore." (Alas, I was mad enough to get the Black Bess Landship skin, but not the Colt). Waffling aside, I can't wait for your primary rankings. And just on the subject, are you planning to rank each weapon on their own, or pitting their variants against each other? Or doing some comprise like ranking the M1903 Springfield/MP-18 Experimental and the slug shotguns separately as their own things versus the originals? Regardless, another banger of a video.
Not to spoil too much, but for the sake of time and because even extreme variants share most of the same stats, for the most part I'll be ranking all variants together, better or more meaningfully diverse variants will contribute to an increased score. The only exceptions will be a certain Medic weapon which has it's own icon, and mayyybe a specific Scout weapon that reworks the weapon in a similarly drastic fashion.
@@xxfrog_bombardmentxx2133 oh boy I wish, but I’m not even sure how I’m supposed to get my hands on it. I’ll bring it up, I wish I had it, but it’s not the gun I was talking about here.
I think the Frommer Stop is S tier when paired with the Martini Henry. The MH does 90 body damage under 20 meters which means you only need one shot to finish them off. This makes the fastest drawing sidearm the best. Bonus points for the Frommer's high rate of fire.
real life nagant revolver also is slow to fire because of how it work - if you does not cock it manually, your trigger have to push the cylinder forward to form a gas seal, it is HEAVY
The sidearms of BF1 are undoubtedly the most effective of the entire series, and I reckon it's because the game environment frequently emphasises close combat with its tight trench networks and bunkers, while only one class has primaries that are outright superior in a CQC environment. Medics work at mid-range, Supports have big clunky machine guns that are better used from a stable position, and Scouts shouldn't even _be_ that close. This makes them all vulnerable to getting up in their face. You get more _chances_ to use pistols and melee, without getting shot to pieces by some jackass with an assault rifle a hundred metres away. My favourite is the Webley MkVI, of course. It served me _fantastically_ well during my time in the game. I suspect that the Mars Pistol is limited to Scouts precisely because it's so powerful. It compensates for their general weakness at close-mid range. 16:23 My thoughts exactly. I use guns in Battlefield based on whether they're _interesting,_ rather than just effective. Everyone's running around chasing metas, and then there's me trying to find the jankiest prototype available.
The Lugar is my personal favourite. The style cannot be matched. Sometimes it's not about the gameplay effectiveness, its about the pure style of using it.
I went and got the Peacekeeper because you glazed it up so much here, I do not regret it. It really wasn’t that bad. A couple hours translating Morse code, forty five minutes pushing pillar buttons, and ten exciting minutes in the Paschendale mines. And then- there it is, sitting on a crate, resplendent, waiting for me.
I'm glad you're a man of culture and gave the Gasser its proper ranking. It's a chad's pistol. I remember pulling it out in open sections, specifically one time on Empire's Edge, just headshotting and pistol sniping guys out past my effective SMG range. Use it right and it's a second primary. Absolute S tier and my favorite for sure
@@TheSuperSpud I was trying so hard to find an example, cause I swear I had seen it before, then even resorted to trying to figure it out myself with a friend so I could demonstrate it, but it just never materialized, hence why I said what I did in the video, the fanning animation seems like an old oft-repeated legend.
Unlocking the Peacekeeper is one of my fondest gaming memories period. I unlocked it when I was... I think 15 or 16, with the help of the BF Secrets discord. Took me three days and a sheet of graph paper, but I did it.
21:57 it’s so funny bc irl the mars automatic is probably the biggest failure of a sidearm in human history, it was KNOWN for literally falling apart in your hand and was otherwise super unreliable
That's why it's referred to as the broomstick mauser. So you know its the pistol with the broomstick handle, made in Germany, and reconfigured to be a star wars blaster prop.
I’m grateful that you included the peacekeeper, a few similar vids I’ve seen didn’t even mention it. Had a blast doing the puzzles and trials to acquire the weapon and have been having even more blasts using it. A reliable sidearm capable of sniping and clearing rooms with ease and something that I never get tired of using.
The "reliability" factor is something I have always found conflicting with the Peacekeeper, but I guess that can be subjective depending on your playstyle. Where it falls hard, has to be its reload timings, deploy time and recoil are its biggest drawbacks, but I expect nothing less since it's a weapon of flare and raw power. Bearing in mind, I have almost sixty service stars with it and I have found that using it as a "second primary" which sounds contradicting and almost counter intuitive in the sense that the Peacekeeper, to get the most out of it, may be used that very way. I can use it to finish off weakened enemies directly after using my primary but not without trying harder to make myself a more difficult target more so than I would with other sidearms to compensate for its deploy time. It really is a gun not for beginners and requires strategy to overcome its flaws more so than you'd think. So, it is reliable, but mostly in areas where other sidearms fall shorter than the Peacekeeper, because using it as your typical sidearm may not be the best way to go about it at first and requires a lot of experience to combat its flaws in order to use it exactly like other sidearms in the game. Wow, I really rambled 😅
That is all totally understandable. I hear a lot of people gripe with the deploy time but that’s something I’ve never had an issue with. The long reload has been a death sentence for me a good few times though. I main medic and basically use the peacekeeper as my short range alternative to my rifles. Whenever I go into a building I whip it out. I also love it because it can be used for a very fast one-two punch with most melee weapons. Just shoot and then swing. as long as you hit both the enemy will always die. Definitely not nearly the best gun statistically, but wins my heart through style points.
Been a huge fan of your BF tier lists, so good to see you finally get into my favorite one with BF 1! It was only a year ago now I finally decided to take on the Peacekeeper puzzle, a monument to how much I simply love this game. It was very rewarding after 3 straight days of work, I even recorded the whole thing. An incredibly fun gun for sure.
Fun fact: the Mars pistol, despite having a unique firing mechanism and was tested with different ammo types, however, the gun was supposedly so unpleasant to fire, of ALL the people who fired the pistol, none of them wished to fire it again.
Something that I remember learning back when I was actively playing BF1 (2016-2019) was that a lot of your guns that you would call useless besides the 1903 fill little niches for some players. For example me in my earlier years especially the recoil and fire rate of the 1903 didn't quite sync well with my reaction time and often times I would consistently miss 1 too many shots to get a kill without a reload. Something like the P08 that shot that tiny bit slower better fit my own personal faults until I got enough practice in that handling a faster firing gun was more manageable. Of course I was a good Support/Sniper and went Oberez for 70% of my games unless I brought the 1911 out. In any case its something to keep in my for new players coming in that the stats don't tell the complete story about how a gun "feels" in game.
2:03 Just a quick little heads-up to all those stealth enjoyers who play BF1; the Silenced M1911 (And to a lesser extent Enfield IIRC) actually don't show the victim where they are being shot from and in addition you don't appear on the minimap
Glad to have this video on my Recommended, I love Battlefield 1 with a passion. M1911 is my personal favorite gun of all time, in games and in real life, but the all other pistols in the game are so fun to use, half of them I need to unlock so I can't wait to get my hands on them!
I kinda know why the C93 has a different damage pattern. It's due to the cartridge it uses compared to the Mle. The C93 fires a 7.65 x 25mm Borchardt, while the Mle 1903 fired the 9 x 20 mmSR Browning Long. The Borchardt doesn't do as much body damage as the Browning Long because of the smaller diameter of the bullet.
My favorites are the Mauser C96 (not because it’s good. Just because it’s my favorite gun irl) and the Howdah. Again, not because it’s good. But because I just think it’s a cool unique little pocket shotgun. Fantastic video! Been binge watching your tier lists
My personal favourite gun is the Repeteirpsitole 1912. It may not be the best, but it has so much style and the machine pistol variants are super cool. Great video!
I’ll never forget when I unlocked the peace keeper. I decided that I’d try to unlock it one day during spring break and was trying to decipher the Morse code puzzle when a member of BFEE community joined the game. This complete stranger then offered to help me unlock the gun on a whim so of course I said yes. We spent six hours trying to get the damn thing, the longest consecutive computer session I’ve had lmao. It was literally a simpler time in my life when I could afford to blow six hours to unlock a virtual revolver, and to the random BFEE member, I thank you
One of the things I appreciate about the BF1 community is how many people are specifically willing to help with that daunting task, even to the extent that sometimes they find you and not the other way round.
My list ain't that different, just would put the C96 in C tier. Also good to see someone that actually knows what he's talking about when doing a tier list like this. Keep doing good man.
Certified Peacekeeper owner/user here and i just gotta mention...the peacekeeper can one tap to the head up to about 18 meters, something that puts just that bit further compared to the gasser which is still (as in the name) absolute gas
Yo I just binged all your weapon ranking videos earlier today and loved them it’s crazy you drop another the day I find you - killer stuff you’re hands down one of the best battlefield content creators I’ve seen :)
As one who has earned the peacekeeper, it is, in fact, the greatest handgun ever made, and I couldn’t imagine using anything else. Just off of style points alone this thing transcends all rankings.
My personal favourite is the c93. I don't really find the toggle action distracting and I just see it as just a mle 1903 with a bigger magazine capacity and much faster reload. I like it more than the 1911 as i value fire rate and longer range over damage per shot.
The Howdah…my favorite pistol. It sounds crazy, but the draw time and hip fire accuracy with the punching damage makes it a near perfect clean-up choice when the primary couldn’t get the job done
I just came across this video and loved it, went back to watch all your others too- and I don’t even like BFV much. I like your content a lot, especially given that you seem to have a real appreciation for the mechanical appeal and flair of these guns. Would love to see more!
I feel the howdah should be at least A tier. It’s insanely powerful, unique in design, and has a sweet pullout animation where you flip it around your finger once when you first pull it out.
the no.3 has amazing hip fire accuracy, and the fast deploy time and fast repeating shots make it an amazing close range weapon, not S tier but at least a B
I loved your BfV videos, but I just don't love BFV try as I might. Bf1 is my fave battlefield, thanks for covering it! Hoping for future videos on it, take your time though. And yes, peacekeeper is the best despite its draw time taking a century. As a fellow medic bolt action enjoyer in bfv, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the general liu!
It's a big compliment to hear that my videos are enjoyable even if you don't play the game, and I think you'll like what I have to say about the General Liu ;P
For the record, I hate how low the C93 is on this tier list. Its draw speed and animation are both really quick, and bc it has low horizontal recoil, its hipfire just feels right. The extra bullet comes up big in CQB firefights where you switch to sidearm to finish multiple opponents. I also feel the Mle. 1903 is underrated, but to me the C93 is a hidden gem. Plus, it's the Borchardt! Nothing like winning a tight gunfight with your pistol and then telling your opponent you 'chardted on em
Phenomenal video enjoyed it greatly especially the minutia, I feel like I understand separation between the class exclusives more, and the overall dynamic they were going for when they carefully placed all the weapons in the categories in which they belong. Thank you for the video keep up the good work.
Probably not the best place to put this, but I wanted to say that I greatly appreciate this video, but probably not for what you may naturally expect. I'm currently going through a bit of a hard time at the moment, I'm not going to go into detail, as I consider it irrelevant. But I want to say thank you regardless, this video was very entertaining, and seeing new content about one of my absolute favorite games helps alleviate the pain just a little bit. It's not by much, but it's better than nothing, and I have people to help me get through it. I also really appreciate that you're rather soft on the weapons in this game, anything that works is fair game, and I'm happy to know that someone else feels that way. I personally have a thing for the Mauser M1914 and the Colt Pocket Hammerless. I've had some really good times using them, and even the C96 (Even though its reload animations absolutely trigger me.) is good fun at times as well. I'm glad to see you doing more content, and I really hope to see more BF1 tier lists in the future!
Each of the class-specific revolvers are pretty underrated IMHO. The Gasser specifically with its insane two shot range just warms my heart. The Bodeo is still the king tho.
Nice video, just started playing battelfield 1 again after some time and your videos are great to see the pros and cons of the wepons again. Would love to see rankings on the other loadout, like pearks, grenades and close combatstuff.
Peacekeeper is a gift from God. The only downside I find with this one is that it takes a long time to reload, but in fact, with these six bullets you can easily put down at least three enemies, so it's not that bad. Other than that, there are no drawbacks. It shoots fast, accurately and looks excellent.
I think the Frommer Stop should go into B Tier since Scout/Recon primaries are single action (not including the 1903 experimental w/ Pederson device, but who uses that?), meaning that high RoF is key for getting the final ~20ish HP off after hitting someone with your primary from closer ranges
Surprised to see more recent tier lists about BF1, also good to see the Bodeo getting a bit of recognition as a fellow leg of lamb enjoyer. I usually play scout more aggressively with either the 1895 Trench or 1903 Experimental (or just about any other bolt action if I'm feeling it) and I prefer the Bodeo over the Mars. The high damage it offers at range close to mid range pairs well with a bolt gun, and also helps getting enemies to the health threshold required for a take down with a heavy melee weapon.
You forget about THE most important thing in bf1 Historical Accuracy ( Also enjoyed your palworld and dynamic reloads videos, i hope you do more videos like that )
The Single Action Army is , as usual , superior .And the Model 3 is also peak in its power and reliability . Also , the fact that there was no swing-out cylinder revolver makes this game imperfect in my eyes .One more weapon and it could have been flawless .
@@mrnascarjg2416 Or a Colt New Service or a Colt Army Special or a Smith and Wesson Hand-Ejector Mk.I and Mk.II or an Orbea Hermanos or Garate-Anitua or similar copies . Game feels incomplete without them .
07:00 Kolibri is an S-tier weapon. If you learn to play with it, you can use any other weapon. Let me explain: To consistently kill with this pistol, you need to play aggressively. People don't like the Chauchat, but with this LMG, you can afford to play safely by lying on the ground and holding 1-2 buttons. The Kolibri’s damage drop-off requires close distance to be effective. To play aggressively, you need certain weapons. I prefer sniper rifles: Martini-Henry, Vetterli, and sometimes the Trench Winchester. While Martini is a popular choice, the last two weapons are not popular at all, especially the Vetterli. Players hate this rifle, but in my opinion, it’s the best rifle for extremely close fights. Essentially, it’s a Martini with a shorter sweet spot and 4 bullets. After you shoot your enemy, you need to get closer and finish them off with the Kolibri. At first, you will die a lot, but once you learn how and when to push, you can achieve some of the nastiest kills and escape from the stickiest situations. You can’t afford to miss your shots (whether rifle or pistol), so you need to learn how to aim, shoot, and find good positions all over the map. Also since you don't have "solid" sidearm you can't afford to be without bullets on your primary. So you need to learn how to use grenades, gadgets and map features to stay alive and hold your enemies at bay. I understand that for most players, this might sound like nonsense, but trust me, after you kill 100 people with the Kolibri, your play style will change. You will learn how to make every bullet count.
Jail for putting the auto revolver in the b tier it is by far the best revolver in my opinion, looks gorgeous especially with the ivory skin, quick reload, better damage and fire rate than any speed loader revolver. This thing on arden forest absolutely pimps i had so much fun using this with minimal reload suffering
Someone else has finally realized the beauty of the bodeo, even if its only A teir. Still my favorite revolver
As I like to say, the Bodeo bodes well, especially when I get tired of the mars automatic 😂
Holy crap it’s der rote kampfflieger
Its my favorite Scout sidearm, I main it actually when I am a scout, I try to patrol and keep flares popped.
What about the nagant revolver
I’ve see so many people say it sucks so I was waiting for him to dog on my favorite revolver but he didn’t. Awesome

By far is a more epic weapon than any common 1911, the peasant choice, lame and boring.

And then- there it is, sitting on a crate, resplendent, waiting for me.
I'm glad you're a man of culture and gave the Gasser its proper ranking. It's a chad's pistol. I remember pulling it out in open sections, specifically one time on Empire's Edge, just headshotting and pistol sniping guys out past my effective SMG range. Use it right and it's a second primary. Absolute S tier and my favorite for sure
Totally agree
@@professormemsclassthere’s one of those bf1 no HUD movies where a solider executes another with a gassier and fans the hammer so it defo exists
@@TheSuperSpud I was trying so hard to find an example, cause I swear I had seen it before, then even resorted to trying to figure it out myself with a friend so I could demonstrate it, but it just never materialized, hence why I said what I did in the video, the fanning animation seems like an old oft-repeated legend.
@@professormemsclass idk what’s up with it cuz I know it’s existed at some point
@@professormemsclass it could maybe be one of those one in a 100 easter egg animations but only third-person for some reason?
Something forgotten about the nagant revolver, its empty reload is much faster than its tactical reload, you replace the cylinder
Unlocking the Peacekeeper is one of my fondest gaming memories period. I unlocked it when I was... I think 15 or 16, with the help of the BF Secrets discord. Took me three days and a sheet of graph paper, but I did it.
The GOAT of weapon ranking is back LET'S GOOOOOOO
1911 not top tier. lmao
21:57 it’s so funny bc irl the mars automatic is probably the biggest failure of a sidearm in human history, it was KNOWN for literally falling apart in your hand and was otherwise super unreliable
It’s an absolutely terrible firearm in every possible way, and that’s why I love it
That's why it's referred to as the broomstick mauser. So you know its the pistol with the broomstick handle, made in Germany, and reconfigured to be a star wars blaster prop.
yoooo thank you , most videos about bf1 are really old , its really cool to see videos about it that are new , you earned my subscribe!
Thanks!
I’m grateful that you included the peacekeeper, a few similar vids I’ve seen didn’t even mention it. Had a blast doing the puzzles and trials to acquire the weapon and have been having even more blasts using it. A reliable sidearm capable of sniping and clearing rooms with ease and something that I never get tired of using.
The "reliability" factor is something I have always found conflicting with the Peacekeeper, but I guess that can be subjective depending on your playstyle.
Where it falls hard, has to be its reload timings, deploy time and recoil are its biggest drawbacks, but I expect nothing less since it's a weapon of flare and raw power.
Bearing in mind, I have almost sixty service stars with it and I have found that using it as a "second primary" which sounds contradicting and almost counter intuitive in the sense that the Peacekeeper, to get the most out of it, may be used that very way. I can use it to finish off weakened enemies directly after using my primary but not without trying harder to make myself a more difficult target more so than I would with other sidearms to compensate for its deploy time.
It really is a gun not for beginners and requires strategy to overcome its flaws more so than you'd think. So, it is reliable, but mostly in areas where other sidearms fall shorter than the Peacekeeper, because using it as your typical sidearm may not be the best way to go about it at first and requires a lot of experience to combat its flaws in order to use it exactly like other sidearms in the game.
Wow, I really rambled 😅
That is all totally understandable. I hear a lot of people gripe with the deploy time but that’s something I’ve never had an issue with. The long reload has been a death sentence for me a good few times though. I main medic and basically use the peacekeeper as my short range alternative to my rifles. Whenever I go into a building I whip it out. I also love it because it can be used for a very fast one-two punch with most melee weapons. Just shoot and then swing. as long as you hit both the enemy will always die.
Definitely not nearly the best gun statistically, but wins my heart through style points.
Been a huge fan of your BF tier lists, so good to see you finally get into my favorite one with BF 1! It was only a year ago now I finally decided to take on the Peacekeeper puzzle, a monument to how much I simply love this game. It was very rewarding after 3 straight days of work, I even recorded the whole thing. An incredibly fun gun for sure.
My absolute favorite series on youtube. Please, please, please keep doing these lists.
You've got it!
Hell nah he used tf2 AND MGR music??? Professor Mem is goated
Also Metal Gear Music for Bodeo 1889!
Mem in BFV: the PO8 is a beuaty and I live it
Mem in BF1: the PO8 is fucking dogshit
Fun fact: the Mars pistol, despite having a unique firing mechanism and was tested with different ammo types, however, the gun was supposedly so unpleasant to fire, of ALL the people who fired the pistol, none of them wished to fire it again.
Something that I remember learning back when I was actively playing BF1 (2016-2019) was that a lot of your guns that you would call useless besides the 1903 fill little niches for some players. For example me in my earlier years especially the recoil and fire rate of the 1903 didn't quite sync well with my reaction time and often times I would consistently miss 1 too many shots to get a kill without a reload. Something like the P08 that shot that tiny bit slower better fit my own personal faults until I got enough practice in that handling a faster firing gun was more manageable.
Of course I was a good Support/Sniper and went Oberez for 70% of my games unless I brought the 1911 out. In any case its something to keep in my for new players coming in that the stats don't tell the complete story about how a gun "feels" in game.
Even though I don't play BF1, I admire how you put the Gasser in S tier. Super cool revolver, plus gate-loading is just satisfying.
2:03 Just a quick little heads-up to all those stealth enjoyers who play BF1; the Silenced M1911 (And to a lesser extent Enfield IIRC) actually don't show the victim where they are being shot from and in addition you don't appear on the minimap
Oh! I didn't know that! I knew it was a feature in Battlefield V, but I had thought it wasn't a feature in the series until that game.
Glad to have this video on my Recommended, I love Battlefield 1 with a passion. M1911 is my personal favorite gun of all time, in games and in real life, but the all other pistols in the game are so fun to use, half of them I need to unlock so I can't wait to get my hands on them!
I kinda know why the C93 has a different damage pattern. It's due to the cartridge it uses compared to the Mle. The C93 fires a 7.65 x 25mm Borchardt, while the Mle 1903 fired the 9 x 20 mmSR Browning Long. The Borchardt doesn't do as much body damage as the Browning Long because of the smaller diameter of the bullet.
My favorites are the Mauser C96 (not because it’s good. Just because it’s my favorite gun irl) and the Howdah. Again, not because it’s good. But because I just think it’s a cool unique little pocket shotgun. Fantastic video! Been binge watching your tier lists
Valid choices, and I’m glad to hear you like the content!
More BF firearms ranking. Yeaaaaaah
My personal favourite gun is the Repeteirpsitole 1912. It may not be the best, but it has so much style and the machine pistol variants are super cool. Great video!
Valid choice
I’ll never forget when I unlocked the peace keeper. I decided that I’d try to unlock it one day during spring break and was trying to decipher the Morse code puzzle when a member of BFEE community joined the game. This complete stranger then offered to help me unlock the gun on a whim so of course I said yes. We spent six hours trying to get the damn thing, the longest consecutive computer session I’ve had lmao. It was literally a simpler time in my life when I could afford to blow six hours to unlock a virtual revolver, and to the random BFEE member, I thank you
One of the things I appreciate about the BF1 community is how many people are specifically willing to help with that daunting task, even to the extent that sometimes they find you and not the other way round.
Opening a Battlefield 1 video with Red Dead 2 music?
Ken Jeong in Mexican regalia: "I'll allow it."
My list ain't that different, just would put the C96 in C tier.
Also good to see someone that actually knows what he's talking about when doing a tier list like this.
Keep doing good man.
Certified Peacekeeper owner/user here and i just gotta mention...the peacekeeper can one tap to the head up to about 18 meters, something that puts just that bit further compared to the gasser which is still (as in the name) absolute gas
Yo I just binged all your weapon ranking videos earlier today and loved them it’s crazy you drop another the day I find you - killer stuff you’re hands down one of the best battlefield content creators I’ve seen :)
Thank you very much!
These videos are great. Would love to see more on older Battlefield games like BC2, BF3 & 4
It sounds fun, but at the same time, to tell the truth I barely have any experience in those games.
2:46 that transition was smooooth
As one who has earned the peacekeeper, it is, in fact, the greatest handgun ever made, and I couldn’t imagine using anything else. Just off of style points alone this thing transcends all rankings.
I have a peacekeeper and I use it more than any other gun in the game. It is genuinely SO much fun to use I just can’t stop :D
You know, it's funny, I remember in an old Westie video that the Frommer Stop could actually bank shots off some walls.
YEEEEEESSSSSS This game will never die, love your videos, glad to see bf1 is happening now.
My personal favourite is the c93. I don't really find the toggle action distracting and I just see it as just a mle 1903 with a bigger magazine capacity and much faster reload. I like it more than the 1911 as i value fire rate and longer range over damage per shot.
Valid, same reason I prefer the Mle 1903 slightly over the M1911, but indeed with that slower reload which I will admit, is hard to ignore.
The Howdah…my favorite pistol. It sounds crazy, but the draw time and hip fire accuracy with the punching damage makes it a near perfect clean-up choice when the primary couldn’t get the job done
I just came across this video and loved it, went back to watch all your others too- and I don’t even like BFV much. I like your content a lot, especially given that you seem to have a real appreciation for the mechanical appeal and flair of these guns. Would love to see more!
So glad to hear it!
I feel the howdah should be at least A tier. It’s insanely powerful, unique in design, and has a sweet pullout animation where you flip it around your finger once when you first pull it out.
the no.3 has amazing hip fire accuracy, and the fast deploy time and fast repeating shots make it an amazing close range weapon, not S tier but at least a B
"coming from bfv" is absolutely crazy to hear on a bf1 review video thing
I loved your BfV videos, but I just don't love BFV try as I might. Bf1 is my fave battlefield, thanks for covering it! Hoping for future videos on it, take your time though.
And yes, peacekeeper is the best despite its draw time taking a century.
As a fellow medic bolt action enjoyer in bfv, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the general liu!
It's a big compliment to hear that my videos are enjoyable even if you don't play the game, and I think you'll like what I have to say about the General Liu ;P
The peacekeeper is such a satisfying gun to use especially after unlocking it and the animations oh my god I feel like a gunslinger
Love the TF2 music during the Howda pistol rating lol.
The a conflict dog tag required for the peacekeeper is a pain in the backside to get
great nod to the shortstop from tf2 (i just barely heard the tf2 theme during the howdah pistol segment lol)
Prof. Mem: [makes BF1 content]
Sickos: YES... HAHAHA YES...
For the record, I hate how low the C93 is on this tier list. Its draw speed and animation are both really quick, and bc it has low horizontal recoil, its hipfire just feels right. The extra bullet comes up big in CQB firefights where you switch to sidearm to finish multiple opponents. I also feel the Mle. 1903 is underrated, but to me the C93 is a hidden gem. Plus, it's the Borchardt! Nothing like winning a tight gunfight with your pistol and then telling your opponent you 'chardted on em
I love the mark IV so much. I have so much practice with every bit about it that I am really good at landing shots
Pistol gameplay in bf1 is beyond fantastic
Phenomenal video enjoyed it greatly especially the minutia, I feel like I understand separation between the class exclusives more, and the overall dynamic they were going for when they carefully placed all the weapons in the categories in which they belong. Thank you for the video keep up the good work.
Probably not the best place to put this, but I wanted to say that I greatly appreciate this video, but probably not for what you may naturally expect. I'm currently going through a bit of a hard time at the moment, I'm not going to go into detail, as I consider it irrelevant. But I want to say thank you regardless, this video was very entertaining, and seeing new content about one of my absolute favorite games helps alleviate the pain just a little bit. It's not by much, but it's better than nothing, and I have people to help me get through it.
I also really appreciate that you're rather soft on the weapons in this game, anything that works is fair game, and I'm happy to know that someone else feels that way. I personally have a thing for the Mauser M1914 and the Colt Pocket Hammerless. I've had some really good times using them, and even the C96 (Even though its reload animations absolutely trigger me.) is good fun at times as well. I'm glad to see you doing more content, and I really hope to see more BF1 tier lists in the future!
I'm really glad that this video can help you in that way, and I hope things become better for you.
@@professormemsclass Thank you, I appreciate it.
Each of the class-specific revolvers are pretty underrated IMHO. The Gasser specifically with its insane two shot range just warms my heart. The Bodeo is still the king tho.
I agree they're underrated for sure
Nice video, just started playing battelfield 1 again after some time and your videos are great to see the pros and cons of the wepons again. Would love to see rankings on the other loadout, like pearks, grenades and close combatstuff.
This was a very well put together video! So glad the Mars Automatic got the S tier.
Thanks!
HE HAS RETURNED! Blessed be us!
6:50 i love how he stabbed you a millisecond before blowing up with you
Finally someone recognizes the lugar is only used because of its ascetic. The bodeo is my fav sidearm next to the gasser there both fun and efficient.
I started bf1 with the sole intent of getting the peacekeeper; I was not disappointed
bro the rdr2 music
thank you for the nostalgia bomb that is this video. I miss this game so much 😭
Sometime using guns not many people use is so much fun I know I have a blast with them
Peacekeeper is a gift from God. The only downside I find with this one is that it takes a long time to reload, but in fact, with these six bullets you can easily put down at least three enemies, so it's not that bad.
Other than that, there are no drawbacks. It shoots fast, accurately and looks excellent.
I think the Frommer Stop should go into B Tier since Scout/Recon primaries are single action (not including the 1903 experimental w/ Pederson device, but who uses that?), meaning that high RoF is key for getting the final ~20ish HP off after hitting someone with your primary from closer ranges
You raise a good point (although I do want to say that I use the Pedersen Device, low recoil three-shot baybeeeee)
Fair enough, but I prefer the SMLE MKIII Infantry cause 'MuH iRoN sIgHt SnIpEr'. It also has good damage that perfectly helps my pro Frommer Stop case
Your content is so chill, I watch it on repeat sometimes
I appreciate it!
Man, I've had a few chances to net a running Bodeo 1889, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Definitely a cool wheel gun
Surprised to see more recent tier lists about BF1, also good to see the Bodeo getting a bit of recognition as a fellow leg of lamb enjoyer. I usually play scout more aggressively with either the 1895 Trench or 1903 Experimental (or just about any other bolt action if I'm feeling it) and I prefer the Bodeo over the Mars. The high damage it offers at range close to mid range pairs well with a bolt gun, and also helps getting enemies to the health threshold required for a take down with a heavy melee weapon.
I don’t know why I love the Mle 1903 so much, it just feels like a trusty handgun
Oh man I’m looking forward to you doing lots of BF1 videos. Fingers crossed
I am glad the Obrez is a tier because even if you don't kill them instantly in closer ranges you will instantly be able to kill them with melee
You forget about THE most important thing in bf1
Historical Accuracy
( Also enjoyed your palworld and dynamic reloads videos, i hope you do more videos like that )
I plan to do many more in the future

COMEON HES BACK
if you get pissed while playing the game do a step of the peacekeeper, its not that bad to get. Worth every second
Ive taken many ottoman lives with the mle 1903 i absolutely love it
One of the best things to do with the Kolibri is use it to detonate explosives. I’ve killed a tank with one that way.
Ah right! Good strategy
Opening with the RDR2 soundtrack you immediately got a like lmfao
The Single Action Army is , as usual , superior .And the Model 3 is also peak in its power and reliability .
Also , the fact that there was no swing-out cylinder revolver makes this game imperfect in my eyes .One more weapon and it could have been flawless .
the Nagant M1895 is a swing-out for a full reload
Agreed. The fact that there isn’t the Colt/S&W M1917 is a crime
@@mrnascarjg2416 that's tru
@@mrnascarjg2416
Or a Colt New Service or a Colt Army Special or a Smith and Wesson Hand-Ejector Mk.I and Mk.II or an Orbea Hermanos or Garate-Anitua or similar copies .
Game feels incomplete without them .
07:00 Kolibri is an S-tier weapon. If you learn to play with it, you can use any other weapon. Let me explain:
To consistently kill with this pistol, you need to play aggressively. People don't like the Chauchat, but with this LMG, you can afford to play safely by lying on the ground and holding 1-2 buttons. The Kolibri’s damage drop-off requires close distance to be effective.
To play aggressively, you need certain weapons. I prefer sniper rifles: Martini-Henry, Vetterli, and sometimes the Trench Winchester. While Martini is a popular choice, the last two weapons are not popular at all, especially the Vetterli. Players hate this rifle, but in my opinion, it’s the best rifle for extremely close fights. Essentially, it’s a Martini with a shorter sweet spot and 4 bullets. After you shoot your enemy, you need to get closer and finish them off with the Kolibri. At first, you will die a lot, but once you learn how and when to push, you can achieve some of the nastiest kills and escape from the stickiest situations.
You can’t afford to miss your shots (whether rifle or pistol), so you need to learn how to aim, shoot, and find good positions all over the map.
Also since you don't have "solid" sidearm you can't afford to be without bullets on your primary. So you need to learn how to use grenades, gadgets and map features to stay alive and hold your enemies at bay.
I understand that for most players, this might sound like nonsense, but trust me, after you kill 100 people with the Kolibri, your play style will change. You will learn how to make every bullet count.
Jail for putting the auto revolver in the b tier it is by far the best revolver in my opinion, looks gorgeous especially with the ivory skin, quick reload, better damage and fire rate than any speed loader revolver. This thing on arden forest absolutely pimps i had so much fun using this with minimal reload suffering
You earned a like with the Obrez S tier. god bless you sir
You now you can have an unique draw animation with the howdah ? It's rly cool.
