Do you want to take the leaderboard by storm?

Well, forget your heavy duty LMGs. Because you need to move quickly to survive. But surviving isn’t enough. You need to annihilate each and every enemy that comes your way.

How I hear you ask?

With the deadliest weapons.

It’s no myth. If you want to crush everyone, you need the best guns. The best of the best. Half the battle is deciding which weapon to use. And your battle is about to get a hell of a lot easier. So let’s get on with it, shall we?

11. VMP

The VMP is a titan in the arena, its high damage highlights this fully automatic submachine gun is one of a kind. An immense firing rate, means this gun is perfect for close quarters. If you like to run and gun, getting in the face of your enemies, this is the weapon for you.

This gun takes 4-6 shots to kill. 4 when up close and personal, 6 when you are shooting from long distance. 4-6 shots isn’t the stats you might expect, but this gun excels in the firing department. Making it an absolute killing machine.

One downside however is the recoil in medium to long ranges. When firing, the VMP kicks up and to the right of where you originally shoot. Although it is controllable. Simply aim down and to the left to compensate for this recoil, and to maintain straight firing.

With 40 rounds per magazine you can easily pick up 3-4 kills per clip with good accuracy. Suggested attachments are grip to manage that recoil, and maybe extended mags if you need the extra bullets.

10. Sheiva

This single shot assault rifle, is one of the most powerful weapons to grace the game. If you play to its strengths, it’s up there with best. A monster in the damage aspect, it potentially rivals the power of sniper rifles. That powerful. A two shot kill, it excels in medium to long ranges. Literally melts opponents.

It has insane accuracy, and with a 20 round magazine you can more or less customize it how you like. Your enemies can run, but they can’t hide. This beast will pierce through walls and do damage to opponents.

9. Weevil

This gun has undergone several upgrades/downgrades since the launch of Black Ops 3. A recent buff has propelled the Weevil back on the scene, and here’s why.

With one of the highest firing rates in the game, combined with an extremely large magazine size, this gun is often compared to the P90 of COD 4. If you are the spray and pray type, be sure to check out the Weevil.

The latest buff has seen an improvement to its killing range. Similar to the VMP, this gun is a 4-6 shot kill. 4 shots in close quarters, and 6 in those long distances. Previously, in the medium to long distances it was useless, with the ridiculous recoil and low damage it done. Now, there is an improvement to that 5 shot kill range. To sum up, using the Weevil in short to medium distances will be lethal.

With 50 bullets per magazine, there isn’t any call for extended mags. Using grip will slightly manage that recoil. Aiming for the chest area will be the most effective as the gun recoils slightly up, landing you with a headshot.

8. ICR-1

The ICR-1 a.k.a “the laser gun” has next to no recoil. Making it one of the most accurate guns in the game. If you can keep at a distance and fire from medium to long ranges, you will have great success with this weapon. Are you a prolific call of duty player who really doesn’t miss? This is a must have gun.

This fully automatic rifle takes 4-5 shots to kill. With 30 rounds per clip, you could easily pick up 3-4 kills per clip and dominate your opponents. Just remember, stay in a suitable range.

7. Man-O-War

The Man-O-War is an absolute monster of an Assault rifle, it is a favourite among professional players and fans alike. The high damage has launched this weapon into the top 11, and there are little guns that can rival it.

It only ever takes 3-4 shots to kill. In medium ranges up to 42m, 3 shots are all you need to confirm the kill. It comes as no surprise that this gun can easily pierce through walls, it is a tank.

30 rounds per magazine is enough with such high damage bullets. This gun experiences some vertical recoil so try to aim for the chest area and the headshots will come naturally. Alternatively try burst firing to minimise recoil effect. Be sure to try out an optic, as iron sight can be difficult to use.

6. M8A7

The M8A7 is an amazing assault rifle. It’s extremely high damage and burst firing is what put it on the map. Best used in those medium to long ranges, it is a 4-5 shot kill weapon. Its insane damage combined with 4 round bursts, allow for destruction in 2 bursts or less.

Its burst rate is one of the fastest in the game, getting those shots in quick gets you kills in 2 bursts or less. With 32 rounds in each magazine and minimal recoil this gun is a beast even before you add attachments.

The iron sight isn’t great, you should chose an optic for precise shots. As for perks, quickdraw and stock will allow for fast movement whilst quick aiming. Long barrel is also an option to maximise those one burst kills from range.

5. Vesper

Known as the king of close range, the Vesper dominates in those close to medium ranges. If you enjoy getting up close and personal with a sub machine gun, listen up. This weapon excels in the firing rate department, hands down it is the fastest firing gun in the game. 4-6 shots to kill plants it firmly in the most deadly 11 weapons.

Now this important, with such a fast firing rate this gun burns through ammo. Only a 30 magazine to support it, it is highly recommended that you use extended mags. Staying in those close quarters, and slightly medium ranges is essential for success with this weapon.

Recoil is pretty intense, so you may consider grip also. Recipe for Vesper success:

  • Close range
  • Extended mags
  • Quickdraw
  • Stock

Now go dominate.

4. Razorback

The Razorback is an excellent sub machine gun in the game, with little to no recoil it has unreal accuracy. You won’t have to compensate for recoil with the Razorback, it has a moderate firing range and is most deadly in short to medium ranges. Making it a 4-6 shot kill.

With a magazine of 30 rounds, you shouldn’t require extended mags. Its strength is its piercing precision which will allow you to pick up 2-3 kills per mag in the right ranges.

3. Kuda

The Kuda is one of the most lethal weapons in the game, it excels in short to medium ranges and deals a great load of damage. Similar to the MP5 of COD 4, it has a great firing rate to conserve those bullets. Making for a 4-6 shot kill. Be sure to keep in nice and tight with your enemies to get shots away quick. You will soon be chief slayer in no time.

30 rounds per magazine means there is no need for extended mags. Recoil can be a slight problem. But definitely manageable, try utilising grip, quickdraw and stock for maximum success with this weapon.

2. SVG-100

The SVG-100 is a bolt action sniper rifle. An actual beast in the arena. This sniper deals an insane amount of damage. Totally unrivalled. 1 shot skill anywhere on the body, will ensure your picking off enemies in no time. It comes as no surprise this sniper will tear through walls, and is a weapon not to be messed with. If you’re an avid sniper, unlock your SVG-100 and destroy enemies with ease.

As the SVG-100 brings the immense damage, there is a slight downfall elsewhere. Time in between shots. This means you have to be accurate to hit those shots first time. So you won’t have to wait extended time for that second chance. A cool feature of this sniper is the thunder-like noise it makes when you fire it. It sends a stormy echo across the map asserting your dominance and warning enemies of the lethal sniper. You will have to make it to level 52 to unlock this monster.

1. Argus      

Following the update, the Argus is a certain one shot kill in the right range. You will want to aim down your sight when shooting. This avoids hit markers and ensures all your bullets will land on your target. Getting you that automatic kill.

You need to be accurate to get the most out of this deadly shotgun. So here is a few tips to have you destroying your enemies in no times.

  • Always aim down your sight
  • Use quickdraw to aim faster
  • Use stock so you can aim whist your strafe
  • Use long barrel to maximise range

The Argus is perfect for short to medium distances, be sure to try it out and you will be amazed with its range.

Be sure to try out all these weapons to see which works best for you. Have a favourite class setup? Leave a comment to share with others!
