A shotgun or SMG is a necessity for close-range combats. The M1014 wields tremendous damage, which enables users to take down their foes with ease.

They can also use the SPAS12, which has more significant damage and rate of fire but is a single fire weapon, i.e., the players cannot hold the fire button to spray down the opponents.

The XM8 is an excellent weapon for gunning down the opponents at a decent range. With the latest patch, this gun's stats were raised, making it an optimal option for gamers.

They can also consider using other ARs in its place with a high enough fire rate if they feel like doing so.


4) SKS and MP5

The SKS is a marksman rifle that users can utilize mainly for long-range encounters. It has considerable damage and good enough armor penetration.

If players don’t find this firearm, they can also use the Woodpecker or the SVD, a drop exclusive. These powerful guns can decimate foes at range.

Among sniper rifles, the AWM is the best option. However, in case of non-availability, players can use other guns as well.

When it comes to assault rifles, they can pick up ARs like the FAMAS, which has a reasonable fire rate, range, and damage. The gun is potent in the long to medium range, though gamers might find it challenging to fight over close ranges.


1) AK + M1887

In the assault rifle section, the AK is one of the best options for the players due to its considerable damage and range. It could deal a hefty blow to opponents over mid-range.

Users can also substitute it with the Parafal, which has even greater damage but a lower rate of fire. They can also use a sniper or marksman rifle instead of an AR.

The M1887 is one of the most suitable guns in the class. The firearm is exceptionally threatening to the enemies in close ranges due to its damage and armor penetration.

However, it only has a magazine size of two, which can be a bottleneck for few users. Those not comfortable with this aspect can use the M1014 instead.
