The 5 best weapons for PvP in The Division 2 can be found here in an overview. We categorize the best assault rifle, best sniper, best submachine gun, best shotgun, and best light machine gun.
Who created the top 5 list? The following weapons were selected as the top 5 weapons for PvP by the expert team around the channel “Arekkz Gaming”.
They name their favorites for 5 different weapon categories and recommend taking these into PvP if you want to dominate in the fight “Agent against Agent”.
This video showcases the weapons, and we list them below:
Rank 5 – ACR-E as the best assault rifle
This is the ACR-E: Bring a high-end version of the ACR-E. This is an assault rifle that has 72 rounds in a magazine with an extended magazine and thus becomes a “great weapon”.
The ACR-E has good handling, a fairly high rate of fire, and with the extended magazine, you won’t run out of bullets so quickly.
How to play the weapon: The ACR-E is a weapon that you can mainly use at medium ranges. Additionally, it “forgives” some missed shots – with other weapons, like sniper rifles, every shot must hit. Thus, this assault rifle is aimed at nearly all agents who enjoy playing with automatic weapons.
Besides the ACR-E, the Police M4 and the G36 military version are also recommended as strong assault rifles.
Rank 4 – M60 E4 military version as the best light machine gun
This is the Military M60 E4: This LMG has the highest base damage of all light machine guns and has an enormous magazine size. Bring a high-end version of it into PvP.
The rate of fire is slightly lower compared to other LMGs, yet the M60 combines high damage and a large magazine into a lethal mix.
How to play the weapon: At medium ranges, the M60 is a beast. The longer you fire with it, the more precise it becomes. This weapon also “forgives” a few missed shots, as you will still have enough bullets left in the magazine to eliminate the opponents.
Rank 3: Super 90 SBS Tactical as the best shotgun
This is the Super 90 SBS Tactical: Among shotguns, the Super 90 (high-end) stands out. With a rate of fire of 160, it is quite high and the damage is also okay. 8 rounds are in the magazine.
The slow reload speed is a disadvantage. Therefore, you should try to win the fight against an agent before you need to reload.
How to play the weapon: The Super 90 is used exclusively in close combat. With it, you can stop opponents who want to overwhelm you. Or if you like to act offensively and shoot enemy agents directly in the face, you are well equipped with this.
Rank 2 – The Sneaky Duck as the best submachine gun
This is the Sneaky Duck: This is an exotic weapon based on the P-90 submachine gun. It is considered a “must-have” weapon for PvP because it has an enormous magazine, a high rate of fire, and talents that further amplify these stats.
Each shot that hits an opponent grants +1% rate of fire (maximum 60%) and kills refill the magazine by 20% and grant a buff.
The Sneaky Duck is pretty complicated to obtain. Here is our guide with all info on what you need to do for the Sneaky Duck.
How to play the weapon: At close to medium ranges, the Sneaky Duck kills extremely quickly.
If you do not have a Sneaky Duck, the Vector is a good submachine gun alternative. It has a higher rate of fire than the Sneaky Duck, and with an extended magazine, you will have enough shots available.
Rank 1 – Model 700 as the best sniper
This is Model 700: This is a sniper rifle that deals enormous damage, but has a low rate of fire. Since you can kill any enemy in PvP with just one headshot with this weapon, the low rate of fire is only secondary.
Choose a high-end Model 700 and enjoy yourself in PvP.
How to play the weapon: This sniper shines especially when you have a clear line of sight ahead and ideally find yourself in a higher location. This way, you can snipe down at the enemies and kill with just one headshot.
However, the weapon can also be used in close combat by adjusting the scope, allowing you to use the sniper like a rifle in third-person perspective. Essentially, it is the best choice at all distances.
The Model 700 is currently the dominant weapon in PvP, with which you can kill any enemy agent with just one shot. How to build a setup around this weapon can be found here:
Keep in mind that the weapons also have to match your playstyle. But with one of the above weapons, you will be able to achieve many kills in PvP.
Which weapons do you play with in PvP? In the comments to the video, it is mentioned that the P416 military version or the Famas (both assault rifles) are said to be quite strong.
