I don’t like ironsights, I use the AK5C. I haven’t tried that yet. If you’ve seen my first YouTube gameplay test, I’m still a total newbie, though I managed 20 kills and 13,000 Conquest Points in Operation Locker because I was a stronger squad member in one of my recent matches.
It all comes down to the setup you choose. For hardcore play, using the AEK with a coyote, stubby and heavy barrel really stands out as a top CQB choice. It offers solid reflexes and can land 100+ kills in a match. My favorite next weapon is the ACE—23mm. It’s perfect for defensive roles; pair it with a heavy barrel, coyote, and stubby, and you get a powerful beam similar to the M416 but with higher damage output. The extra DPS more than makes up for the smaller magazine.
If you’re aiming for better reloads, the Famas is a solid alternative, though its reload speed is slow. For engineers, the CZ-3A1 is an impressive machine—1000 RPM and good accuracy. Add a potato grip, heavy barrel, and coyote, and it becomes a formidable spraying tool.
For snipers, I’d recommend JNG and GOL. L8 JNG has great bullet velocity, while the SRR and M8B offer similar GOL with solid medium-range damage. The M4 carbine is solid for close to medium range, but long-range shots are tough.
Shotguns? The Seiga is a strong pick—no pump or reload needed, just shoot a clip. With a heavy barrel, stubby, and coyote, you’ll be dominating.

Assault (Assault Rifles): Medium to long distance capability with L85A2; short and medium range options include AEK-971 and Bulldog, both effective at longer ranges when handled properly. Engineer support includes SR-2, MPX, GROZA-4. Light machine gun support: LSAT or M249 Recon. Sniper rifles: SRR-61 with extended reach. Carbines: GOL Magnum Carbines. All ranges: MTAR-21. Questions? Did I overlook anything?
The M249 is great. It takes down thousands of enemies. People say they don’t understand how I excel with it in the game, but honestly, it’s my top choice.
My top picks include Scar for assault rifles and the AK-12 for carbines. As noted before, the ACW-R performs well and seldom disappoints.
