The atomizer is true life saver. I can't count how many times it has saved my mission after got stuck with vehicle

[SlapperFlapperGaming]

I always find the heavy revolver mkII most useful while driving in a car to take out choppers since you have a limited loadout for driveby weapons.

Imo the widowmaker is inferior to the regular minigun because it makes it really obvious where you are, so people far away or in air vehicles can pin point your location much easier. Plus, it's more expensive than the minigun.

If you do the job to get the railgun, you can also end up with the Unholy Hellbringer, Widowmaker and Compact EMP Launcher. Unless you’ve already bought them, they can’t be removed from the weapon wheel or modified.

For me rank for every category

1. Heavy weapons: minigun, rail gun, & for glitch Grenade launcher & Rpg-7 (when u hide on wall)
Ps : (If is hard for u to aim aircraft with railgun use the missile launcher)
2. Heavy sniper mk2, fast sniper
3. Mac 10, mp5 mk2
4. M60 mk2
5. Carabine mk2, & m16
6. Python mk2, performant pistol & upn atomizer
7. Special Hatchet & knife for silenced attacks
8. Shotgun explosive bullets & auto shotgun
9. Sticky bombs, Molotovs
10. Special electro gun for falling vehicles

For driving use Mac 10 or sticky bombs if u dont have ammo with mac 10 use performant pistol

I saw him call mourns mutual insurance after he destroyed his insurgent pickup

Heavy shotgun is actually stronger than the assault shotgun, it’s fire rate is slightly slower but the damage is significantly higher

[stargazer]

I personally like having tear gas in my explosives category, as I can use them to force an ennemy out of a camping position, or prohibit some areas.

BeatsDown I think you keep missing what the point of the Heavy Revolver MK2 really is and why it's useful. It's a "portable drive-by sniper rifle", I understand that on console drive-by shooting is bad but on PC Heavy Revolver MK2 as a drive-by weapon is kinda op against enemies on foot. You can even hide behind corners in vehicles and shoot people from behind corners and they can't even shoot at you.
Also you can use BST to be able to reliably one shot people with it.

[Artjoxas]

My suggestion:
Silencer on AP Pistol and up n atomizer
Combat MG With or without FMj
Special carbine no silencer but add fmj if combat MG is regular rounds
Heavy sniper with explosive and marksman rifle with silencer
Pump shotgun with explosive and assault with regular
Rpg, railgun, grenade launcher, widowmaker
Sticky bombs

Hopefully this covers all scenarios with minimal switching between guns in each category. Gives both options for NPCs and players without feeling too cluttered.

Can you do video on how to create personalised crew logos, like how to upload ya own picture as logo, and not R* own built in items

[Beebo]

Bro that was incredibly helpful thanks.

[adamimrysek]

My man forgot the micro smg I think it's at least a honorable mention full auto gun you can use out of vehicle's that's pretty good

[wilsonbuchanan]

I've been playing since launch and I'm only now learning you can throw sticky bombs while aiming🤣

[ShadowhandofDune]

I keep reading the gun lockers are broken, so I'm hesitant to pay for one.

[afrothunderya]

Thank you got the ap pistol and the assault shotgun. i didn’t know there were op

[tommalaga]

you forgot the huntman rifle without a scope its the mest mid range weapon for when ur behind a wall and the lock on distance is unmatched

[flanekplicha]

Since railgun was officially added to the game, I stopped using Pump shotgun MK2 with explosive rounds and switched back to conventional rounds in my heavy sniper MK2.
I play on PC and there is this annoying bug when the game sometimes deletes ammo for random weapon, while joining new lobby.
As we all know, the special rounds can be only restocked at the MK2 weapon bench and the whole process of getting just 40 explosive rounds is irritating and time consuming imo.
Never the less. The Heavy Sniper MK2 remains the best anti-aircraft weapon in the game if leading shots with Railgun is too hard for u

[reapxrrz]

the homong launcher travels almost twice as fast as the rpg
