Assault primaries Tier List

My friends, Door Kickers 2 is a game (*GASP*) with many gear pieces to pick, with dozens of guns and equipment across 7 total classes and 3 different factions to play as, most of those guns having options for sights and ammo types, which drastically alter the gun in some cases.

I will rank the guns based on my personal experience with them, no guarantees that this is gonna be unbiased. Usual S-A-B-C-D-E Tier List format. Each gun is in no particular order.

When you hear "Time to say goodbye!" from across the building:

The best of the best, the guns that excel in their roles.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
A whisper-quiet SMG that makes me nut in my trousers everytime it shoots, and it's just a damn good choice for CQB maps, hostage situations, and noisy neighbours.

PROS:
>OH MY GOD I WANT TO F**K THIS GUN.
>2.5m sound radius with subsonics (if you use any other ammo type, you enjoy dallying with gentlemen)
>Very nimble and short, deals with doorways ok.
>Engages targets quickly.

CONS:
>Kinda slow reload, that can leave you open.
>You'll waste plenty of shots on QRF and other armored threats...
>Lackluster range (duh).


MK18 CQBR
Close-Quarters-Battle-Receiver. 5.56x45. No hiccups. An MP5 with more range and accuracy, in terms of what it does.

PROS:
>Short length.
>Quick engagement speed and reloads.
>Deals with armored threats decently.
>Retains decent range, even takes LPVO's.

CONS:
>It's not an MP5.
>Has no subsonic ammo (though the enemy confusion is nice too).
>Questionable efficiency past 30m.


FN MK17 CQC
deafness any% speedrun

PROS:
>Great crit chance.
>Maneuvers wonderfully indoors.

CONS:
>NO SUBSONIC AMMO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>Only 20 rounds


SIG SAUER MCX RSAR
This thing takes the previous guns and combines them. .300BLK SBR with pretty good range.

PROS:
>5m sound radius with subsonics.
>Smaller than my chances of getting a proper job in today's economy...
>Takes LPVO's, which opens up many possibilities.
>Good penetration.

CONS:
>CIA exclusive gun
>VERY expensive, at a whopping 10 stars!


Heckler & Koch MP7A1
F**K P90, ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE P90

PROS:
>Pretty much the smallest primary in-game.
>Has subsonic 4.6 ammo.
>High concealment.

CONS:
>CIA-exclusive (though Rangers aren't usually seen with MP7's irl).
>Inconsistent past 15m.


Izhmash AKS-74u
Krinkov my beloved

PROS:
>Very concealable, since AKS-74u's are common among insurgents.
>Short.
>Subsonics help a bunch.
>Range and accuracy are fine without PK-AS, but with it, it becomes a lot more versatile.

CONS:
>CIA exclusive, Nowheraki SWAT could use this.
>Without a PK-AS, your mid-range ability is limited somewhat

Brugger & Thommet APC9 K
MP5's, but for the Nowheraki SWAT teams instead. Suppressor recommended.

PROS:
>Ultra quiet when suppressed.
>Has subsonics (YIPPEEEEEEEE).
>Fast fire-rate.
>Nimble and short.

CONS:
>Poor range, mid af accuracy frfr
>Nowheraki SWAT exclusive.


Vulcan
A custom Bullpup AK, because some weirdos in Ukraine said so.

PROS:
>CQB is easy af.
>Good range.
>You can mount a Holo.

CONS:
>No subby-wubby ammo-y's :d
>Slow reload

Perfectly versatile guns, but they lack enough specialization for S-Tier.

Colt M4A1
Standard 14.5 incher with overall balanced statistics. Very good option for holding long angles while the SBR's handle the rooms.

PROS:
>Takes a variety of optics (LPVO's as well).
>Reliable in all engagement situations.
>Short enough to handle smaller maps.

CONS:
>No subsonic ammo...
>Suppressing this gun makes it as long as a M16A4, which is less than ideal...
>There's no advantage you really get, bringing this over the MK18 for CQB.


M4 URGI Carbine
Take an M4 and give it the M-LOK treatment, that's it.

PROS:
>Better accuracy than the standard variant, works amazingly with LPVO's.
>Takes suppressors, so it makes for a nice little stealthy pocket DMR. No subsonics, however.

CONS:
>The second most expensive item in the entire game, for some reason, sitting at 20 STARS!
>Not the best pick for room clearing due to it's slower fire-rate


Alpha AK-105
AK with Zenit-Co furniture. Hell yeah.

PROS:
>Has a good amount of optics to choose.
>Mid-length barrel.
>It's an AK (Brandon Herrera likes it).

LIVE BRANDON REACTION

CONS:
>No subsonics...
>Kinda bad concealment.
>Speaking of which, it's CIA exclusive.


FN MK17
A 7.62x51 NATO rifle that is best used as a pseudo-sniper in bigger maps. Adequate elsewhere.

PROS:
>Great range, when compared to other options.
>It shares armor penetration stats with the 5.56 rifles, but has a very high crit rate all around.
>Mid-length barrel.

CONS:
>VERY F***ING LOUD (and no subsonics, but that is realistic).
>20 round-mag, frequent reloading with this one...


Heckler & Koch MP5k PDW
MP5 but even shorter. Fits in your trenchcoat!

PROS:
>Really concealable.
>Quiet with subsonics.

CONS:
>Loses some range compared to full-length guns.
>Very weak against armored tangos...

Guns that are usable. They are mostly picked when a specific situation calls for it, and it performs well when it IS picked.

Heckler & Koch MP5A5
Sliding stock is bae

PROS:
>Smol
>Nimble
>More accurate than the SD variant at longer ranges

CONS:

>Slow reload


Heckler & Koch MP5k (sidearm)
MP5k PDW, with no stock at all.

PROS:
>Even shorter than usual
>Even quicker on-target
>Concealable as a phone

CONS:
>Massive range loss


Colt M16A4
"The M16A2 A4 service rifle is a lightweight air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed shoulder weapon. It fires a 5.56 mm ball projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet per second. This is my rifle. Repeat after me." -Jarhead

PROS:
>Excellent pick for open maps with it's accuracy

Benelli M4 Shotgun (M1014)
Something for the end of the night... Big, bold.

PROS:
>12g semi-auto, what else is there to say
>Passable range for a videogame shotgun

CONS:
>Long af
>Mobility leaves a bit to be desired
>Exhorbitant price, at 8 stars.

Mid guns, mostly picked for lack of other unlocks, or a very, VERY specific situation calls for it.

M500 MEK
Pump-action with a sight rail. I THINK it may be a Mossberg model, I dunno.

PROS:
>Shotgun

CONS:
>Slow fire-rate
>Limited ammo choice compared to the M1014
>Nowheraki SWAT exclusive


Izhmash AKM
The most widely produced (and copied) gun in the world.

PROS:
>Standard barrel length, perfectly balanced
>Available from the start

CONS:
>Not many sight options
>Lacks ammo choice or a suppressor (PBS-4 when)


FN FAL
7.62x51 NATO battle rifle that is superior to the M14 in every feasible way, but the U.S still turned it down because old men shouldn't be running nations; they should be rotting away in their houses.

PROS:
>Very good range
>Serves poorly as a pseudo-DMR, but it's viable.

CONS:
>Very long
>Very heavy
>Recoil is too hard hitting for the betas
>Exclusive to the Nowheraki's Militia class.

A gun that's bad, but has a use.

"BRRRRRRRRRTTT" -Mini Uzi

PROS:
>Conceals nicely for CIA
>Light and widely available for SWAT
>Mobile and short
>Fast fire-rate
>Nowheraki SWAT can use these with the shields

CONS:

These guns are irredeemable. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

AK-47 Underfolder
It's called an AKS-47 you buffoons. Literally unplayable, Killhouse pls fix

PROS:
>It fold
>Helps CIA agents blend in ok

CONS:
>Bad accuracy

PM-63 RAK
Small eastern-block machine pistol. IT'S SLIDE MOVES FORWARDS INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS.
