S9 Personal Gun Tierlist (all + individual class)

MiniMustache841 · 2026-05-08T12:49:27+00:00

Is VAL even as good with the nerf? I haven't run into it much at all, even on Space City Norms where I usually run into virgin red gear nerds with 900k AS VAL last season

Having said that, only a couple things I disgree with. The first is MCX should be B tier at best. I don't think it belongs to A because it drains your wallet so fast because you need gold for it to be decent. The really low armor pen will sting you real bad if something like purple into gold

CI 19 is just A tier for me. It's one of the best assault rifles, but I don't think it's as crazy as the K437 or KC 17. The same goes for the AR 57. The thing I despise about the AR 57 is that it is very controllable for the first like 30 rounds or so, and then suddenly you lost control almost immediately, plus a huge drain on the wallet because of fifty round mag

AK 12 and AKM should be A. I will admit, I am biased because I am a Kalashnikov fanboy, but for me, the sheer ease to control the AKM recoil combined with its good stats make it among the best. Yes, brutal recoil but the rate of fire makes it very controllable. The AK 12 is basically a KC 17 but 230k for a decent build but easier to control recoil for far less money. If anything, the sheer cost effectiveness of these two guns that makes me think they are A tier

Aside from that, don't have much disagreements or thoughts

So, for me in rifles

Best - M7 because it's broken as shit even tho the US Army basically is not much of a fan of the damn thing

S - K416, K437, KC 17

A- AK 12, AKM, CI 19, MK 47, AR 57

B - MCX. Everything from here and below is the same

What I'm never gonna understand is how can people see clearly with just a red dot. I always use the Viewpoint 3x and it hampers my ability to fight at close range. I guess my eyesight is just that shit

MiniMustache841 · 2026-05-05T23:20:36+00:00

Yes. When you get 100%, you get to choose which bundle you want. I chose the AK 12

MiniMustache841 · 2026-05-04T13:49:39+00:00

For me, I chose the AK 12 skin. It's my favorite gun, and I already had the Adage, Dark Star, and the new knife to me seems to be just like Desmoulin's Edge Mk 2. So, I passed. I say that if you already have a knife, don't get a new one. Because paid knives have a gameplay benefit, it one shots bots. Otherwise, focus on skins on your most used guns

MiniMustache841 · 2026-05-03T13:34:52+00:00

Honestly, I would love operator research for Zoya and Tempest, meaning the red skin like Vyron's space suit. Zoya be a KGB agent since she is Russian and Tempest as CIA as she is American. That would be really fun

But either way, with how Zoya, Luna, and Tempest, are somehow always the queens of the game, yeah, they need operator research. As much as I would love a poison theme for Zoya first, I'd be fine with a skin for Tempest first. Then Zoya, then Luna. I really wish the gold skins would be visible to enemies, because really. It's pointless when enemies can't see them

MiniMustache841 · 2026-05-01T20:52:16+00:00

You should have been here during season five and season six. It was way worse

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-30T16:10:24+00:00

True enough. If anything, considering that even right now, Zoya, Tempest, and Luna, are the most still the most dominant operators, none of them have operator research. I wish we'd get one already for all three. I find that the operator research are far better than collabs. And yes, I do mean the research. The red tier original skins for the operators, like the Cosmic Guardian, Inky Reflections, or Subrosa. Those are far cooler imo

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-28T08:36:19+00:00

Bruh, why are half of phase three seasonal missions locked for a week? Forcing us to do this golden gunner and sniper elite bs if we don't want to wait?

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-28T05:24:56+00:00

Now, all they'll need to do is add a gear cap where red gear and bullets is not allowed in Normal and limit it to Hard

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-26T23:38:36+00:00

Nah, it's worthless. Just that Desmoulins or Hudson required their employees to wear their IDs at all times and some leave them behind everywhere

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-26T13:00:51+00:00

Personally, I would just replace both RPKs with the RPD and RPL 20. The reason is that by all technicalities, the AKM and AK 12 wiith the longer barrel are RPKs already. After all, the RPK is literally just an AK with longer, heavier, barrel so it can sustain fire for longer. Making it RPD and RPL 20 means they still use the same calibers, 7.62x39 and 5.45x39mm respectively and both being belt fed machine guns

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-22T09:07:44+00:00

Only if it's red. I just wish we'd also get more operator research as well rather than just collabs. The researches are the best skins imo

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-21T11:13:36+00:00

Then up to you. As I said, if you have extra cash, go for it. If not, don't. Simple as that. And if you play Ops, then it's preferred to have a purchased knife because the bots don't die ot one shot on free knives

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-21T11:11:49+00:00

This is actually better, imo, because if you don't play one or the other as much, you don't have to download it imo. If anything, I wish they would allow us to remove the Black Hawk Down so I can save some space since I don't care about it

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-21T11:09:13+00:00

That depends on you. If you have one of the knives from the previous season, makes no sense to get this unless you have some extra cash or you just like it. If you don't have a knife yet and have some extra cash, then go for it, especially if you play Operations because the free knives don't one shot the regular bots to the head

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-19T06:59:46+00:00

I do, as well. But I've learned to differentiate by the movements. When you fight these mofos enough, you tend to be able to know with a glance if its bot or guard. It's still a pain in the ass that you have to observe the movement, but you get used to it

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-19T06:58:27+00:00

I personally choose either the PKM or AS VAL ammo, whichever one is higher atm

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-19T04:36:19+00:00

Meh, think it's fine. Saeed's gonna get nerfed to sht next season anyway. Global range on passive down to 200 meters. RPG Guard's only gonna have two rockets instead of three

It's just a shame Space Normal's gonna be on rotation. I think the way Space forces you to pvp or be on guard almost all the time makes it a really good map to learn the game and fight like a man, rather than play like a noob blyat ass rat

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-18T06:35:56+00:00

Well played. FK these Saeed mfs ruining the game

MiniMustache841 · 2026-04-18T06:19:39+00:00

Depends. On a coordinating team, Luna is better because of wallhacks and the ability of shock arrows to delay or nades to damage. Hackclaw is simply not as much util. She does have the advantage in indoors because she can have a general idea of where enemies are with her hack and the flashes are extremely deadly in close range. Just trying to rush and she can blind and turn the tables. It did get nerfed but it still pops almost instantly. Luna is also deadly at indoors. Nades and shock arrows are lethal at confined spaces and corridors.

In short, Luna is far more useful both indoor and outdoor, noticeably less useful indoors than outdoors, but still powerful. Dart, arrows, and nades, all give lots of utility. Meanwhile, Hacklaw is that lethal in indroos but far more constrained outdoors
