In The Division , we look at the best weapons for PvE after the 1.4 update, based on DPS.
Since the 1.4 update, there is a greater variety of strong weapons. While before 1.4 submachine guns and the M1A dominated, there have been numerous buffs and nerfs to the weapons, resulting in several guns becoming relevant for the slots.
If you don’t want to try all weapons yourself to find the right one for you, Arekkz Gaming presents the 5 best DPS weapons for PvE. When you roam through the upgraded PvE activities with these, you’ll be well-equipped against all dangers.
Focus on sustained damage output
When you fight against the tough enemies in PvE, you want to deal significant damage over time. The following guns are suitable for this:
PP-19 (Submachine Gun): SMGs were once the dominant weapon type. Now they are not as overpowered, but still strong. The PP-19 has a large magazine and the talent “Accelerated”, which allows you to reload faster on critical hits, meaning: more DPS. This way, you can take down enemies quickly, even those who can take many shots. The MP5 is also a good option in PvE.
SASG-12 (Shotgun): This shotgun was already powerful before 1.4. The SASG-12 has a large magazine and a fast firing rate. This allows you to overwhelm rushers and deal sustained high damage.
G36 (Assault Rifle): The G36 assault rifles were already the best choice for assault rifles before 1.4. Particularly in PvE, the high base damage, relatively high firing rate, and especially the excellent stability work to your advantage. This makes the assault rifle easy to control for precise headshots, even without mods. Additionally, assault rifles have a bonus on enemy armor damage, which is excellent against well-armored enemies in PvE.
SCAR-H (Sniper Rifle): This sniper has a large magazine and a high firing rate. Pump the enemies full of lead. As mentioned: Sustained damage is top in PvE.
Hungry Hog / M60 (Light Machine Gun): Hungry Hog is the named variant of the M60 LMGs. These are also strong for dealing sustained damage. The Hungry Hog actually has slightly higher base damage.
