Honestly, I’m surprised. Actually. I had already given up on expecting good DLC weapons, but I take what I get.
My current Top 5:
- M34 Novaline ~163,165 DPS
- SG-12 MFS Pulse Fire Taclight ~159,303 DPS (~100k bodyshot DPS) (but damage drops of by 70% after 11m)
- Raygun MK2 ~158,514 DPS
- Voyak KT-3 ~119,548 DPS
- XM325 ~115,795 DPS
The Voyak and the XM325 are pretty close, but the Voyak handles better and is easier to use. Compared to the Novaline, they’re still about 30-ish percent behind, but 50 percent ahead of the average assault rifle, which makes them usable.
Some notes on the numbers: the values include reload times, and this list focuses on practical weapons. I excluded Akimbo guns with poor ammo economy or weapons where the range is extremely limited.
So we have five generally good weapons now, which is better than just one. I see this as progress.
Treyarch, please keep the good weapons coming. And if you have some spare time, please look at the overall weapon balance, because most weapons are still pretty weak.
