Weapon Evaluation Criteria
The following weapons were selected to be on this list based on the following criteria:
Beginner-Friendly
In the first section of the article, weapons selected must be easy to use or in other words, beginner-friendly. These weapons must be able to allow new players to play competitively.
Versatility
The best weapons must also be able to let the player adapt to different situations, whether it be in long-range, or close combat situations. These weapons must allow players to be a threat at any given circumstance.
Can Improve Veteran Gameplay
The latter half of this article will also focus on weapons that can help veteran players play better. Just like the beginner friendly weapons, the weapons selected in this section must be able to help veterans improve.
High Damage Or Fire Rate Stats
The best weapons in the game must also be able to dish out major damage, either by being able to deal tons of damage, or by unloading bullets at a fast rate.
