It’s the most frequently looked at part of the gun, after all.
It has solid damage and predictable recoil and will do well in any situation on any map.
It lacks any specialty but is well-rounded enough not to need one.
That it has a built-in suppressor puts it over the top.
PP-919
The PP-919removes one of the SMG class’s weaknesses ammo economy simply by existing.
That it’s semi-auto means it can compete up close with any other gun in the game.
Keep it relatively close to your enemy, and they will go down in four hits.
Need to kill something in five shots from almost any distance?
Model L
The Model Lis a more powerful AMES-85, capable of four-shot kills to a considerable distance.
It’s a bit harder to control, but that’s a fair trade.
Kompakt 92
The Kompakt 92is the opposite of the Tanto .22 in almost every way.
Fighting this thing feels oppressive, and it always will.
100 rounds on an M4-style weapon is hard to beat.
It’s usable in similar situations, but struggles a bit more.
It’s a single-shot weapon that takes three bullets to kill.
It’sgood, sure, but far from great.
But you’re usually better off with something else.
PU-21
The PU-21is a consistent, useful LMG for holding down positions.
Thanks to its average rate of fire, it holds its own even at close range.
However, the low damage holds it back.
GPMG-7
The GPMG-7is the fastest-firing LMG by a wide margin, losing damage to accommodate its output.
It is slower, weaker, and handles worse in all the important ways.
9mm PM
The 9mm PMis fine.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the starting pistol other than that it is unremarkable.
Good damage, fast switch time, and average magazine size.
You could do better, but not much worse.
Stryder .22
The Stryder .22is probably the best pistol outside of the GS45.
It has better damage, a much larger magazine size, and generally good stats around those two benefits.
HE-1
The HE-1is the Cigma 2B with fewer rockets, worse handling, and generally worse stats.
It stays in D-tier because it can lock on to airborne scorestreaks where the Cigma cannot.
