An "Utterly Flawless" Best Weapons Tier List - Helldivers 2

I have finally unlocked every single weapon in Hell divers 2 and today we're going to do a tier list on them ranking them from best to worst so that you know which ones to unlock first starting off with the ar23 Liberator the gun you start out with it is very solid it does a fair amount of damage 55 it has a capacity of 45 and honestly it's all around a pretty good weapon so I would put it at about a tier I think again it's really solid it's recoil isn't bad it has a nice fire rate next we have the Liberator penetrator this gun does do a little bit less damage at 45 and it has a smaller capacity for only 30 rounds uh but it recoil still isn't that bad and it has a pretty good fire rate however it's not full auto it is a three round burst I believe so I will put this in B tier it supposedly penetrates medium armor and it does seem to penetrate slightly better than this gun but honestly if you're going against uh you know heavily armored enemies and stuff like that you'll probably be using a rail gun or a flamethrower or really anything you know that you will have as your support weapon so I'd say that it's probably a b tier and for your primary weapon I'd almost always pick the normal one over it just cuz it's really this one's better for killing like lots of ads and small enemies just cuz it has a bigger capacity and does more damage so moving on to the ar23 Liberator explosive it does a fair amount of damage at 55 with 30 capacity uh and more recoil and a lower fire rate honestly I don't like this gun very much it supposedly has explosive rounds that do like area of effect damage but it honestly doesn't seem like they have that big of an area and it has a lower capacity and it damage isn't that great either I'd probably put this in C tier I would take the Liberator penetrator over it just because this one doesn't penetrate medium armor and it just really doesn't feel like it is that effective moving on to the r63 diligence it is our first Marksman rifle does 112 damage it has a capacity of 20 with a recoil of 35 and a fire rate of 350 honestly it doesn't do that much damage I mean it's decent it can onshot a lot of small things but so can the Liberator penetrator and you know it's single shot I would say that I might put it in the same tier as our explosive it you know it sort of feels the same they both feel like they ones shot some stuff uh but it has pretty high recoil it feels really hard to use uh so it's definitely not as good and it's not my favorite gun then we have the r63 Cs diligence counter sniper this gun is better than the r63 diligence that's for sure it does more damage at 128 with a capacity of 15 so that's five less rounds however it does have um it seems it just feels more manageable to use but again it's not very good so I'd probably put this one maybe in B tier but honestly it like if you enjoy using marksman rifles I would use it over that one but it's not amazing so moving on to our submachine guns the first weapon that we will be going through is the MP 98 KN with 50 damage 50 capacity a pretty low recoil and a very high fire rate um this gun does feel hard to control sometimes with its high fire rate and it's damage actually is pretty good with especially 50 rounds however it just sort of feels hard to control and it honestly doesn't feel nice to use the statistics seem pretty good but when you actually use it in game it feels much worse um I probably would use the penetrator over it so I'd probably put it right here something to uh note if you're talking about SMGs is you can shoot them with one hand which is pretty nice however I honestly I just don't like the Knight however our next SMG the SMG 37 Defender I do like a lot it does 70 damage with a capacity of 5 really small recoil coming in at 10 and a pretty low fire rate of 520 but it just feels amazing I'm going to throw that in s tier very very solid weapon um it just feels amazing to use that's all I can say um it it's really solid does a lot of damage you can clear a ton of ads with it is definitely better than this like starting AR um as soon as you get that unlocked which it's like really high up in the battle pass so it should be easy to unlock I would use this over the your starting AR especially because you can carry stuff like DVD drives and stuff like that when you're running it moving on to our first shotgun we have the sg8 Punisher it does a whopping 360 damage with a capacity of 16 however it is single shot reloaded so you can't reload it with a MAG it's recoil doesn't matter cuz it's a shotgun and it has a pretty low fire rate as it's a pump action shotgun however when you're starting out when you're new to the game this gun does a ridiculous amount of damage I honestly liked it more than their starting AR and I'm going to put an a tier it really feels solid you reload it pretty fast and you can always cancel your reload if something's like attacking you I really like this shotgun it's definitely not the best shotgun but it's one of my favorite guns in the game and when I was starting out uh you know starting out when you don't have a lot of guns unlocked definitely just try it out um and it it feels like you can basically onshot any of the small ads and it doesn't take that many shots with it to kill the bigger ones as well moving on to the sg8 S Slugger honestly is just the worst version of the gun we just went over it does less damage D but has the exact same stats other than that and it just feels worse to use it looks cooler cuz it's teal instead of red and I like teal but um because it's worse I'm going to throw it into D tier there's really no reason to ever use that instead of that technically it's supposed to like do more damage to um like heavier or bigger enemies however it doesn't really feel like it does that and um you know it's still just light armor penetrating so not just it's simply not as good as that one there's no reason to ever use it next we have the SG 225 SP breaker spraying piit uh spray and prey or as I call it like Pepper shot it basically does nothing it feels like it literally does no damage at all its damage is 144 but honestly I don't believe that it feels like it basically does no damage uh it does have a big capacity of 32 but you know when you're shooting and it still kills nothing uh that doesn't really mean much so I would put this in D tier as well I would never use this gun it really feels like trash and uh I absolutely hate it it looks really cool but it just it feels like when you're shooting the enemies it can take like two two to three hits even for the smallest of enemies like the patrol bugs or just the you know standing automatons so moving on to the SG 225 breaker honestly in my opinion guys this is the best gun in the game it's like in the page three of the beginning war bond I would just go for this gun and you can use it all the way up I use this basically in all my missions easily the best gun it comes in with 33 damage or 330 damage a capacity of 16 it's a magazine fed though so you don't have to single reload recoil of 30 and a fire rate of 300 it's a fully automatic shotgun it feels amazing to use you're going to be absolutely chewing through enemies um and yeah it's just an amazing shotgun I really love it uh yeah I mean I I think most people agree that it's probably one of the the best guns if not the best gun in the game so moving on to the SG 225 e IE breaker incendiary uh you know this gun is definitely better than the spray and prey and it may even be better than those I'd probably put it at the bottom of B tier uh I don't think that I would take it over like the sniper or the Liberator it again it doesn't really feel like it does that much damage coming in at 180 it has a capacity of 25 which is decent and theoretically it sets the enemy on fire but really it doesn't feel like that fire damage is very high if they want this gun to be viable they really should buff the fire damage that it does it doesn't seem to do that much damage over time like I don't when I shoot a bunch of enemies it doesn't feel like oh you know half of them killed over from fire damage once I've shot them so uh it's it's pretty mid honestly I wouldn't waste my metals on it if you can afford it it's just like it's whatever so moving on to the jar five Dominator you know this gun seems really cool as it says it fires jet propelled rounds the Dominator trades fire rate and magazine capacity for increased damage per projectile per projectile so you know it basically sounds like a bolt gun from Warhammer 40K however it looks just like a normal gun and honestly it's pretty underwhelming it does do 200 damage which is a lot so you're going to be one-shotting most things but um it you'll be one-shotting all the small things it doesn't oneshot like the bigger stuff and it does say that it's medium armor penetrating but again most things have heavy armor there are very few enemies that have medium armor I think like The Brood mothers have medium armor but other than that um you're not going to be killing many things with it and it has a pretty low rate of fire and a really small capacity as well so um you know I think it's decent I'd probably put it above that weapon but um or the incendiary weapon but I don't think it's that good honestly we could even drop down the incend area down there um it it's fine maybe even put it there just depending whether you like want to snipe or not if you're sitting back but uh not my favorite weapon it's not like the worst but it just doesn't feel that good to use so moving on to the Laz five site the first of our energy based weapons it's a laser laser rifle that fires a continuous beam um honestly it it's like okay um I wouldn't use it over most things but I I could put it into a tier probably um it does do seem to do pretty good damage especially like I don't know it seems really useful against the terminats and um pretty decent against the automatons it only is light armor penetrating so again it's not going to penetrate the heavier armors but it does seem to do a lot of damage and it feels useful I'm not sure I would take it over just the normal uh like Liberator penetrator because it feels like I can get head shot especially against the tomaton with this gun and it feels harder with the laser rifle but it it's it's definitely solid uh you could argue that you know some of the Liberator penetrator might be higher than than it but it it's not bad uh and then finally moving on to the plaz one scorcher the basically the most expensive gun in the game to get it was an absolute grind to unlock um and you know once I got there I'm not going to lie it was sort of a disappointment it's not great it has 100 damage with a capacity of 15 recoil of 20 and a fire rate of 250 to compare that to the jar to the jar Dominator the jar do Dominator does 200 damage per shot has a capacity of 15 and so yeah so it basically the jaromer theoretically does twice the damage that the plazan scorcher does however the one difference is is the plazan scorcher fires a bolt of superheated gas which explodes on impact so it does do a area of effect damage and one of the ways I've noticed this the most is when I shoot it I've actually killed myself before if an enemy is close enough to you using this gun it will uh kill you so that's something to note you will oneshot yourself if you're close to an enemy um you know it it feels decent the area of effect is pretty good um it it's like I wouldn't take it over most weapons but I'd probably put it into a tier as well it's a solid gun it's just not as good as like the defender or the breaker its rate of fire isn't very good its capacity is pretty low I feel like I'm running out of ammo all the time when I use this gun and it doesn't do a ton of damage uh it damage is fine it's just nothing to you know like be impressed by so moving on to our pistols that's the end of our Primary Weapons starting off with the P2 Peacemaker this is the starter pistol it actually does a lot of damage coming in at 60 damage its capacity is 15 which isn't great and its recoil and fire rate are you know they're both decent um honestly you know we're going to rate the pistols against each other not against the Primary Weapons I'd say that this is probably an a tier we'll just rank them as a and then B uh you know it's a mediumly good pistol I wouldn't use it over something like the machine pistol but it's decent so moving on to what I just said said the p19 Redeemer the machine pistol this is definitely s tier for pistols um you know it's a completely fully automatic it does 60 damage it has 31 capacity there's basically no reason to use The Peacemaker over this um it's just much better so I definitely use this gun this is the best pistol in the game currently it feels amazing to use it does a lot of damage and you know arguments could be made that this is better than some of your Primary Weapons honestly so moving on to if you want to be a space cowboy we got the P4 Senator it does a lot of damage 150 however it only has six shots and you have to reload load them individually cuz it is a revolver it's coming in at B tier definitely the worst of all the pistols I'd say um it you know it it's light armor penetrating it should at least be medium or heavy armor penetrating I'd say the same for actually a lot of guns like this sniper rifle why isn't it it should be Heavy Armor penetrating if you're going to have a sniper rifle it theoretically should have a bigger caliber so it should penetrate heavy armor same honestly with the DMR it should be maybe medium penetrating Etc you know they they should balance it around what armor they can penetrate um and you know same with this revolver it's theoretically like oh a big revolver that does a lot of damage it should penetrate medium armor uh it would just make more sense right now it's really bad it's worse than your standard pistol moving on to our grenades starting off with our G6 frag this is like a decent weapon it has a pretty low fuse time of 2.4 seconds however it's definitely not the best of theads I'd probably put it in B tier it only does 250 damage and it penetration isn't great either next we have the g12 high explosive I'm definitely going to put this in a tier it's pretty solid as 400 damage has four penetration however it's downside it is it does have a 3.5 second uh fuse time so you're going to definitely have to cook it if you're using it moving on to our incendiary the G10 incendiary it damage is 150 however does do fire damage over time um and you know it's pretty good I'd probably put it with in B tier as well uh I I would maybe use it over it but honestly unless you're trying to go for like the achievement for like fire damage I don't really see the point in using this uh grenade at all either of them really so moving on to our smoke grenade honestly I would never use a smoke grenade over the other ones it doesn't like close Nest or anything so at least that I know of so I wouldn't use it and then finally we have the impact nade easy s tier best nade in the game by far does 400 damage and there's no fuse time because it just impacts and destroys whatever you throw it at which is very very nice it's a lot more accurate you know if stuff's running out you it's not going to like run past the nade cuz it impacts so definitely best nade in the game and unlock that as fast as possible so anyways there you have it there is all the weapons in Hell divers 2 ranked I'll probably redo this tier list if they come out with a balance update or anything like that but anyways I hope you all enjoyed
