Fastest fire rate at 20 shots per second, with 280 DPS making it the top pick for close-range aggression.

Legendary SCAR combines 36 damage per shot with 5.5 fire rate, delivering reliable accuracy and stopping power.

Over-Under deals 104 damage per shell, rewarding players who land both barrels for near-elimination output.

116 damage per shot gives two-body-shot elimination potential against fully shielded opponents at any range.

Heavy AR hits 44 damage per shot at 4.2 fire rate, giving it solid stopping power in mid-range duels.

Three-round burst outputs 222 DPS and rewards precise aim, though burst delay punishes missed windows.

Combat Shotgun fires 1.5 times per second with 73 damage, balancing consistent DPS and a 10-round mag.

Ten-round mag allows quick follow-up shots but 80 damage per hit demands two body shots to eliminate.

75 damage per shot with pistol portability makes the Hand Cannon a strong secondary for late-game builds.

110 damage knock-back pistol rewards skilled aim and repositioning, punishing stationary opponents hard.

100 splash damage per grenade excels at area denial and build destruction when paired with a closer weapon.

Burst AR posts 247 DPS but the burst delay gives opponents recovery windows between volleys at range.

Common Submachine Gun at 247 DPS is a reliable early pickup but quickly outclassed by rarer alternatives.

15 shots per second provides sustained pressure but 17 damage per bullet demands near-perfect accuracy.

Striker SMG offers 234 DPS at 13 fire rate, serving as a serviceable budget option before floor loot upgrades.

Tactical Shotgun posts only 88 DPS with a wide spread, leaving it behind newer shotgun options in the meta.

Automatic Sniper fires at 1.8 per second but 70 damage cannot one-shot, requiring disciplined follow-ups.

Revolver offers 63 damage across six shots but is outgunned by nearly every primary weapon in the slot.

Minigun delivers 216 DPS and relentless suppression for build destruction but requires a dedicated carry slot.

Recon Scout fills the marksman niche at 55 damage and 165 DPS but competes with stronger AR alternatives.

Shield Bubble provides situational zone protection for 30 seconds but deals no damage and occupies a slot.
