Top Weapons for This Role

#1 — Rattler (Assault Rifle · Medium · 299.7 DPS)

Rattler III with compensator + vertical grip + stable stock delivers the best DPS-to-cost ratio for PvP. The full-auto spray with near-zero recoil makes it the definitive PvP weapon for aggressive players.

#2 — Anvil (Hand Cannon · Heavy · 652 DPS)

Anvil III with compensator + vertical grip + stable stock is the highest-rated PvP build (4.9/5). Patch 1.29.0 reduced Anvil horizontal recoil by 15%, making it more accurate than ever. One-tap potential with headshots.

#3 — Rascal (Grenade Launcher · Launcher · 960 DPS)

Rascal I with heavy shield delivers devastating 120 base splash damage. The single-shot grenade launcher one-shots unshielded targets and clears groups. Introduced in v1.29.0 Nomadic Envoy patch.

#4 — Bobcat (SMG · Light · 400.2 DPS)

Bobcat IV with 66.7 fire rate shreds at close range. The high agility (73.1) lets you strafe faster than opponents can track. Best SMG for aggressive CQB PvP.

#5 — Canto (SMG · Medium · 368.6 DPS)

Canto IV with medium ammo and 447.9 DPS provides consistent full-auto damage at SMG range. The medium caliber penetrates light shields more effectively than light ammo SMGs.
