Best Cost-Effective Weapon Overview

Best Cost-Effective Weapon Overall

Vityaz and SVD Are the Best Cost-Effective Weapons In General

The best cost-performance weapons are Vityaz and SVD. Vityaz can be effectively used even with minimal customization, and by loading RIP rounds, it can stand up to high-level Loadout enemies. SVD, being semi-auto, allows you to conserve ammo while making it easier to score one-shot kills with headshots.

Cost-Effective Weapon Tier List Criteria

Easy Use To Higher-Level Enemies With Higher Ratings
Cost-Effectiveness When Customizing To Reach Decent Ranges
Performance Without Customization Are Considered
Low Base Price And Multiple Ways To Obtain

Easy Use To Higher-Level Enemies With Higher Ratings

In Operations, raids start with different status levels for each loadout. Weapons like Shotguns and Submachine Guns (SMG) that make it easier to take down players in short engagements are rated especially high.

Note!	Guns that use ammo that deals damage to unprotected parts make hunting higher-level enemies easier by targeting their limbs!

Cost-Effectiveness When Customizing To Reach Decent Ranges

For customizations priritizing cost-effectiveness in the 100,000 to 150,000 range, whether they reach a practical performance level is important. Weapons that provide a rating equal to or higher than the price invested in customization are ranked higher.

Performance Without Customization Are Considered

Weapons like the SMG-45 and Vityaz are rated for good performance even without modifications costs as they can be operational with just a sight (scope), so the raw stats of the weapon also play a key role in the rating.

Low Base Price And Multiple Ways To Obtain

Weapons like the CAR-15, UZI, and AKS-74 are especially easy to obtain by defeating NPCs. They can be purchased from the store from the beginning, and parts can also be obtained from NPCs so they are often enhanced as the raid progresses. The multiple obtainable routes are also considered in the rating.
