Ranking Every Primary Weapon in Helldivers 2

what's going on Hell divers my name is Dad p and in today's video we'll be placing every primary weapon currently available in the game into a tier list now we're going to start out with the energy weapons up first is the L te16 sickle as a name insist this thing is pretty sick honestly this energy weapon is a gold standard for what an assault rifle should be with this fire rate of 750 and damage output of 55 this weapon not only has pinpoint accuracy but also has light armor penetrating and one of the best scopes with three different range Optics and if you can keep a Keen Eye on the heat mechanic you'll never run out of ammo this weapon is a solid Choice B tier for the sickle the Las Tech 5 Scythe not a bad choice after its most recent buff to its damage this weapon additionally is also light armor penetrating and utilizes the heat mechanic we saw in the previous weapon however this weapon utilizes a constant beam this weapon is pretty good at taking out Devastators with a well- aimed head shot how however I find the weapon scope on the Scythe to be one of the worst C tier or the Scythe the SG Tech 8p Punisher plasma this weapon is fantastic against the Bots or bugs the only drawback is the fact that you have to angle your shots but with some practice you'll be able to take out your medium armor enemies as well as your hordes of enemies with ease a tier for The Punisher plasma The Arc tech12 Blitzer another fine weapon with unlimited ammunition works great against terminats when hip fired and you're able to take down your hordes of enemies when aimed you can one shot headshot a brute Commander the downside of this weapon lies in its fire rate for me even after the update as well you have to be cautious if all teammates aren't wearing Arc resistance armor B tier for the Blitzer the plte one scorcher another great weapon against bots or bugs it's light armor penetrating and with its explosive trait you can get through your enemies such as your factory Striders only drawback this weapon has is its small magazine size you'll find yourself Scavenging for ammo frequently when using this weapon B here for the scorcher lastly for our energy based weapon is the plasc 101 purifier this weapon is just not it its weapon traits are medium armor penetrating it utilizes a charge mechanic that doesn't seem to impact its damage output and it's explosive like its cousin the scorcher now the scorer just does exactly what the purifier can do but just better as there's no charge up gimmick to get it to work and the damage output to take down enemies just isn't up to par with the scorcher as you're able to put more bullets down range before the purifier can get off one round this weapon should be locked in your HELLP pod Foot Locker moving on to our explosive weapons up first is the rtech 36 Eruptor now this weapon was recently nerfed as the shrapnel capabilities were one-shotting Chargers however this weapon is still a decent choice in my opinion with its utility in taking out objectives as well as one-shotting medium enemies such as your striders and Devastators C tier for the Eruptor prior to the Nerf I would put this in Upper B tier the CB Tech 9 exploding crossbow o for the ooh some folks like the crossbow for the Stealth gameplay I just can't justify using this weapon as its explosion radius was unnecessarily nerfed and its magazine size is way too small to justify using it f tier for the exploding crossbow the jar Tech 5 Dominator s tier this is the best primary against bots and I cannot be convinced otherwise with its medium armor penetrating capabilities you can One-Shot Devastators take down Striders and even your factory Striders when shooting the underbelly up next is our shotgun category the SG Tech 225 IE breaker incendiary another s tier this is the best primary against bugs in terms of damage output now the weapon has the same crowd control capabilities that the breaker incendiary has and you can spray down in line keep moving spray down a different Lane you get the picture the standard SG 225 breaker not a terrible pick but not my first this weapon does output a lot of damage quickly however with its magazine size of 13 I cannot justify using this over other weapons C tier or the breaker the sgtech 225 SP breaker spraying pre better than the standard breaker with its magazine size of 26 however it's damage of 192 is noticeable downgrade to the other shotguns when facing hordes of enemies C tier for the breaker spray and prey the SG tag 8 Punisher this shotgun is still fantastic as you're able to stagger enemies and take down your Devastators with ease what this weapon lacks however is its range and damage output against your waves of enemies as it's a pump action weapon B tier for The Punisher the SG Tech 8 Slugger now this weapon used to pack a punch but with the recent Nerf it lost its ability to stagger as well as open areas such as blasto with its medium armor penetration it works the same as the Punisher this thing has more range it still however just feels worse than the Punisher without the ability to stagger C tier for the Slugger moving on to our SMGs the SMG Tech 72 pumer it's a great weapon has the ability to Stager enemies it's one-handed so you're able to carry data drives or ballistic Shields along with it it has a decent fire rate damage output so B tier for the pumer the SMG Tech 37 Defender another solid SMG with a higher damage and fire rate than its cousin the publer also one-handed however it lacks the Stagger capabilities that the pumer has me tier for the defender the MP Tech 98 Knights hpot Foot Locker I don't have it I can't judge it so here's where it will stay for me moving on to the marksman rifles the rtech 63 diligence is a decent Marksman rifle with its ammo capacity of 20 and damage output of 125 you're often taking out your Devastators with a two well-placed headshot now I do enjoy using this weapon when playing stealthly I just wish the damage was a little higher see here for the diligence the rtech 63 CS diligence counter sniper same as the regular diligence but with a reduced fire weight and medium armor penet tring rounds this thing is fun to use you can One-Shot headshot Devastators my only complaint is having to deal with sters at range I wish that like the Dominator that you could destroy its legs with its medium armor pen capability C tier for the counter diligence moving on to our final category which is the assault rifle category we have the BR Tech 14 adjudicator now I want to love this weapon however for me The Recoil still seems off and I feel that the damage should be a little bit higher you can switch the firing mode which makes it more of a marks Smith rifle however I would not take this over a counter diligence C tier for the adjudicator next we have the AR Tech 23 Liberator the AR Tech 23p Liberator penetrator and the AR Tech 61 tenderizer these weapons are just not in a good State they do not put out enough damage to justify using them hope to see changes in the assault weapon category soon F tier for these weapons lastly the last weapon that we have on our list is the AR te 23c Liberator concussive it uh it has stagger that's it it damage tickles the weakest of enemies and its fire rate is abysmal compared to the other assault weapons HELLP pod Foot Locker for this one and that's going to be my tier list as of May 20th 2024 when making this video let me know in the comments what weapons you would change in your tier list if you like this video
