Probably one of the largest posts on this fandom so be aware.
I know nobody asked but i am doing it anyway. This is purely from my
experience. And no pictures because i'm kinda lazy now. I will start from tertiary weapons and go to the primaries and then on other weapon slots.
Pistol:
The only use i see when you want to pick someone from a corner and do 12 damage instead of 10... But why not use the Deagle then?
Pistol-S:
Litteraly the same as the pistol but you can use it in like "Spec Ops" loadouts.
Deagle:
Really cool tertiary. 25 damage in one shot is a lot. Amazing when you can aim with it.
Tec-9:
My go-to tertiary when i'm using a single fire primary weapon (which i am always using). Yes it is not op but still great chip damage and fallback tool.
Raygun:
Honestly, i'm not very lucky with this thing, but i know it is extremely op when it actually works. It is litteraly an automatic RPG.
UZI-S:
EXTREMELY underrated weapon. Nobody realises that it has 120 DPS. That is 1.5 times more than an AK or MP5 and only 20% less than a Minigun... but you don't have to rev up and it is a tertiary weapon. Tec-9 on steroids basically.
Shotgun:
I mean... Almost everybody uses it and everybody knows that it's the one of the most powerful weapons in the game. I respect those who can actually AIM this thing and not spam it.
SPAS:
I have almost no experience using it but... I guess it easier to spam with? I don't know.
AK47:
I mean it is pretty basic weapon and it is no way underpowered. Good if you can track.
MP5:
I have no idea about this thing compared to AK (or vice versa). It is propably better or something but... Maybe worse... No idea i used it anyway.
Famas:
I never used it after it was buffed but... It is pretty situational. You trade continuous damage on "kinda" burst damage... but it is not enough to satisfy me.
Minigun:
Ok overall, but too slow. Becomes a LOT stronger if paired with the jetpack.
Death Ray:
I don't use it because it has an around half a second delay before firing. So i guess it is more like a minigun than an AK.
M4A1:
A straight upgrade from AK47. I wish it was in the criminal base.
SCAR:
I don't own it but it is pretty pointless i guess... maybe it is becaus of the community pressure that nobody actually uses it...
AWP:
Super underrated. It is basically an 80 damage, hitscan, super long range shot but it balanced because you need to actually AIM this thing unlike the RPG.
RPG:
It is only overpowered because of the herous that use it. You could potentially counter it by backing up far away enough but heroes close the distance super fast. And at a close distance it does not require you to aim to do 60 burst damage... If you use the RPG constantly you basically sold your soul to the gods of heroes... i know that was pretty offensive but it is almost true.
M32:
Straight up horrible. You need to aim extremely well to have potential to kill an enemy with a FULL clip. And yes you can use it as a mortar if you want but it is not very effective unless the enemy is distracted.
Melee weapons:
Pretty effective actually but mostly just memes. So satisfing to kill someone with a melee hit...
Grenade:
Really situasional and unreliable to use but VERY rewarding. Potential to do 80 damage to an enemy behind cover is good.
Tear Gas:
I have used it effectively only once in 1.5 years i play. Works more like a smoke grenade than an area denial tool. Still ok i close quarters.
I wrote it for 30 minutes straight. You can leave your opinions in the comments if you fully read it somehow.
