Last update:13 December 2016
Each class has its role on the battlefield.
The weapons they use are specifically selected for their roles.
While assault rifles are deadly at close range, they are of little use at long distances.
It is the other way round with sniper rifles though.
In this chapter, you will find out which weapons are the best for each class.
You will also find some hints on how to use each weapon effectively.
Assault
Assault rifles are characterized by quick rate of fire.
They are very effective in close range combat, but useless at long distances.
They are very difficult to handle.
M1918 is the fastest rifle in the game, able to fire off up to 900 rounds per minute.
This is by far its greatest strength.
so you can kill an opponent at close range you better hit them 5 times.
However, damage drastically decreases with distance - at 24 meters you need 7 hits.
This obviously applies to shots in the body.
While using M1918, shoot from the hip a lot, because its recoil is very hard to control.
Hellriegel is a rifle unlocked quite late, at the Assault level 10.
It’s worth the time and effort though.
While using Hellreigel don’t use continuous fire too much.
At 20 meters away from the target use bursts of 6-7 bullets.
That is why you should stash your bullets and avoid frequent reloads.
M97 is one of three shotguns available for the Assault class.
While using shotguns usually you have one chance - you either kill or get killed.
That is why instead of shooting quickly you should focus on hitting your opponent with your first shot.
Use that one in mid-range situations, but at any greater distances - just run.
Medic
The Medic class is equipped with semi-automatic rifles.
They deal twice as much damage as assault rifles, but have much lower rate of fire.
They have good accuracy and versatility.
They can be effective not only at close range but also at mid and even long distances.
One of the obvious advantages of M1907 is the quick rate of fire set at 300 rounds per minute.
Another of its advantages is having as many as 21 rounds in the clip and automatic fire mode.
Hence, it’s possible for you to use its rate of fire to the full at close range.
At close distances up to 20 meters you could effectively spray-shoot with M1907 by simply holding the trigger.
At longer distances give a shot to aim before taking a shot.
Selbstlader is the most effective at mid and long range.
It is slower than M1907, but it deals greater damage at long distances.
It is also more accurate, has 26 rounds in the clip, and projects bullets much faster.
This weapon can also be useful at close range, but avoid hip shooting.
Support
The greatest strength of support rifles is their accuracy.
you’ve got the option to use them for long bursts without suffering a drop in accuracy.
Many of them have large capacity magazines, so you don’t have to reload them too often.
Ideal conditions for machine guns are middle distances.
BAR 1918 is the fastest machine gun available for the Support class.
BAR’s weakness is having just 20 rounds in the clip.
When using this gun, you must make each bullet count.
Fire short bursts of about 5 bullets.
The peak of its effectiveness is at mid range.
If you wish for a larger magazine, choose Madsen MG instead of BAR.
This one is a bit slower, but has a 31-round magazine.
It also deals a bit higher damage at close distances, but lower at long.
While using Madsen, you’re free to use a bit longer bursts - of about 6-7 bullets.
Always reload with at least one bullet in the chamber left.
This makes a huge difference - for other guns this difference is usually of about 0.5 second.
You should remember that in the heat of battle.
Scout
Sniper rifles feel best in long range situations.
They can deal high damage even over pretty long distances.
With most weapons damage drops over distance.
But that is not the case for some sniper rifles.
They have their ideal distance at which they are able to kill with just one shot.
This is why you should find the ideal distance for each rifle you use.
It takes 79 hit points on up to 30 meters.
It does not have an ideal distance, its damage drops over distance.
They both have the same equipment.
Theirs weapons are only effective at a distance of 20 meters or shorter.
Frommer Stop is an automatic pistol that shoots at a speed of up to 900 rounds per minute.
It has only 15 bullets in a clip, so you could fire them all off in a second.
This is useful only at very close range, just when you are leaving a tank.
Sawn-off is a punch in of a short shotgun, which is effective only at close range.
