Devotion LMG
900 RPM is certainly a fire rate to brag about. However, this rate of fire is not constant. The weapon’s rate of fire slowly gets higher as the player holds the trigger.
However, the Hop-Up attachment, Turbocharger, negates the need to charge the weapon before firing. The Devotion deals with moderate damage at 17 per round to the body. All the way up to 34 for headshots.

M600 Spitfire
The Spitfire is the most effective LMG at long ranges because of its heavy-hitting rounds (18-36) and very controllable recoil. It also holds a lot in the magazine which is always a plus. A long-distance scope such as a 2x-4x Variable AOG or 3x HCOG is most effective on the Spitfire.

Sniper Rifles

Longbow DMR
The Longbow DMR is a great all-round sniper rifle. It deals 55 damage to the body, 40 to the legs and 110 to the head. This means that if the enemy is injured, you have quite a high chance to down them in 1 shot.
If the enemy has no helmet on, a headshot will mince them to the ground. The Skullpiercer Rifling Hop-Up adds even more insanity to the headshot damage on the Longbow DMR. (As of Season 3, the Skullpiercer Rifling is no longer available in-game).

Kraber .50-cal Sniper
The Kraber is King of the snipers with an incredible 145 damage per round. It’s probably a good thing that the Kraber is only available in Air Drops. Like the L-STAR it takes Special ammo in the form of Special Heavy Rounds. This ammo cannot be looted or dropped from the weapon.

Shotguns
Peacekeeper
The Peacekeeper just misses the spot for the highest damage rate among the shotguns. Coming in second after the Mastiff. The Peacekeeper deals 110 damage to the body, 88 to the legs and 165 to the head, provided all the pellets land. To enable easier pellet accuracy. Use the Precision Choke Hop-Up.

Mozambique Shotgun
A triple barrel hand shotty. Could you make it up? You probably could. The Mozambique is a moderately powered shotgun dealing 45 damage to the body, 42 to the legs and 66 to the head.

Pistols
Wingman
The Wingman is canny to a pocket rocket Desert Eagle. It shoots heavy rounds that deal 45 damage to the head, 41 to the legs and 96 to the head. The Wingman’s lethality is further increased with the addition of the Hop-Up, Skullpiercer Rifling, which bumps the headshot damage from 2x to 2.25x. (Please note, as of Season 3, the Skullpiercer Rifling Hop-Up is no longer available).

RE-45 Auto
The RE-45 is a fully automatic pistol. Therefore, it boasts the fastest fire rate in its class. However, its low damage and mag size are rather disappointing. The RE-45 becomes somewhat viable with Disruptor Rounds attached, which gives a well-needed bump to its damage range. (Please note: Disruptor Rounds are no longer available as of Season 3).
