    The Dnipro does have a suppressor but it is vendor only, I was unaware of it during the recording of this video and when I tested it. The suppressor doesn't change its damage though, so it won't 1 tap exos either way.
    Dnipro on base 762 ammo with the penetration blueprint mod, does 2 shot headshot, so going for 2 taps or full auto manual 2 bursts makes it at least mid A tier for efficiency. On AP rounds with the AP blueprint, it still does not 1 tap exos at full HP, so the AP rounds aren't worth it unless fighting mutants. I would run it unsuppressed with wear upgrade so you have a high durability close-med ranged AR. I showcase the Kharod attachments in an upcoming video as to why I think it lands in S vs Dnipro A. I did put it in high B/Low A in this tier list, but the suppressor and AP blueprint move it into A.

      Critical Breakpoints on Exo (tested just now during Dnipro/Kharod vids I am working on):
      Dni Pro 762 with Armor pen upgrade base ammo 2 tap headshots
      Dni Pro 762 with Armor Pen AP Ammo, 2 tap headshots exos, no point in running outside of mutants just use normal base 762x39 ammo.
      Kharod 556/545 (same damage/pen) with pen upgrade BASE AMMO: 3 tap headshots exos
      Kharod 556/545 Penetration Upgrade AP AMMO: 3 Tap Headshots Exos.
      Dni pro 2 Tap is a bit better if you fire in controlled bursts, Kharod fires faster over time so 3 round bursting is very similar.
      Weirdly both have the exact same breakpoints on AP and BASE ammo and both would be better off running base ammo as the AP ammo isn't pushing either into fewer shot breakpoints.
      The Kharod can 1 tap at point blank with the Holemaker, or 2 tap with it for 0 durability cost using cheap/abundant buckshot making it better long term. It also has a grenade launcher that is better than you think, I demo in upcoming video.

      That is wrong. If I remember correctly you can find the suppressor on the way to Wild Island, before the Bloodsucker lair you have to cross to get to the Wild Island, after you meet Scar. It lays on the ground by a body with a lot of boars around it.
      The suppressor will also randomly appears in the store in Slag Heap and Quiets store. I usually get it early to use it with the scooped AKM-74S. A good early game combination.

    This looks like a much better version of your previous video! Also a few things to consider for these weapons- ADS speed, vertical and horizontal recoil, reload speed, and attachment availability. Dnipro (Vulcan) is the best assault rifle when fully modded, 7.62x39 rounds are easily found in late game stashes especially the AP ones. Regular 762x39 rounds can be easily found by PKM wielding enemies, unloading them usually yields a lot. I recommend the bundled mags instead of 45round mags. The standard Dnipro without 762 conversion is also crazy good with almost no recoil when modded

      Which weapons did you specifically test with?
      When I first added the data an hour ago I forgot that Google Spreadsheet does not roundup correctly, so I had to add a roundup function because otherwise, 1,1 would become 1 but with roundup it should now correctly be 2.
      Exoskeletons do not have separate helmet armour either, but there is a separate stat for "Super Soldiers" but they are listed as mutants.
      Now this confuses me because no one can seem to tell me, are the Monolith exo guys actually these Super Soldiers because they have 300HP of health instead of 100HP.
      Only way to physically test this is in game and I am not sure I have time for a few days, but 300HP would make most 1 AP headshots into 2 or more.
      I am not sure if thats something you can like check, if you check just a three or four weapons that are somewhat different from one another.
      On veteran difficulty the players weapon damage is decreased by 25% and enemy health is increased by 10%
      Also weapon degradation is increased by 25% on veteran difficulty....

      I was testing Dnipro fully upgraded with caliber change/Penetration Mod/AP 762 rounds, it took 2 headshots. The base ammo also 2 tapped though. Similar with Kharod but 3 tapping. It 3 tap headshots with base 545 and 545 AP ammo. Vector does not 1 tap on headshot either, as far as I can tell it takes 2 bursts. If it is 2 bullet bursts then it can go full auto and players can manually 3 round burst. Going to do a vector test next, I finished Dnipro and Kharod vids with showing breakpoints as well. Didn't realize vet also decreased weapon damage as well as the weapon degradation increase.

      Yeah I have made a huge mistake, I had copied the 9x18 data which is 130% penetration and applied it to all weapons by mistake.
      Its now corrected to 50%, only 9x18 have 130% pen bonus and shotgun ammo have -28% damage modifier with slug but 50% pen bonus.
      The values align now with how you perceive it in game.
      Sorry about that, a big mistake but its now fixed. There seems to be VERY few weapons in the game that can do one headshot in veteran other than sniper rifles, shotguns point blank, rat killer and Rhino. APSB can also do one headshot, surprisingly but I remember you also hit a guy once in the head with it in your video about it, you fired one round and KIA him instantly.

    If the VS Vintar has a penetration upgrade (roughly +8% pen) and you use AP ammo, when plugged into the damage formula you get 34.3x1.5^-1.4. That gives you a damage output of 19.443…, and multiples by the headshot multiplayer of 6, which puts you over 100, so it should be able to one shot headshot exo’s under those conditions. Correct me if I’m wrong somewhere.

    Something I've noticed is that some suppressed weapons seems to be much more noticeable that other suppressed weapons. It seems to me like the UDP the Lavina and the Vintar are much quieter that the other suppressed weapons, which would matter a lot because as soon as you get detected everyone knows exactly where you are and will snipe you across the whole zone with buckshot.

    So many players got on my case about the EMR when I told them it was in my loadout. The fact is, when its upgraded to reduce recoil, and you attach the suppressor, extended mag and the 8x scope the EMR tracks targets as well as the Kharod. I have tried every gun that competes with its use (which is ambushing) and no other gun is a good. I pair with a Saiga, and a UDP - which you have in a lower tier, but the UDP is an excellent side arm in this load out that helps me create distance and switch cover.

    @colonel__klink7548 День тому

    Note on bursts and headshots. I am not sure in 1.2 but in 1.1 enemies who survive a headshot have a reset timer where headshot damage is turned off. So your first round in a burst will hit their face, they'll stagger but you cannot no matter how good you are double tap and put them down full stop. So if your weapon can't one hit kill you have to shoot them once, hear the satisfying sound and duck behind cover again. I made the mistake of doing the Skif ending the first time with weapons that two hit kill exo suits and learned this the hard way. This time I'm going Rhino and SVD (Lynx.)

    The way I see the tier is that:
    S - Guns that are good at endgame, pretty much exosuit killers.
    A - Are guns that have good enough penetration to deal with Monoliths in the second half of the game. But perhaps need Armor piercing ammo of exosuits, and because of that might be more expensive to run in the end game.
    B - Guns that are good up to SIRCAA, when having 2 penetration is good enough. I for example think the regular Spas 12 is B+, but the Sledgehammer is A, because of it's 3 penetration.
    C - Lesser zone guns, that can be used with armor piercing run in the first half of the game, but struggles against enemies with gas mask.
    D - Unnecessary guns that are outclassed right away, or there are hard to ever justify using it (hello RPG, why would I ever use you in my loadout,)

  • @dustytibbins7064
    @dustytibbins7064 День тому +10

    The Dnipro is actually better since the ammo availability is quite massive from beginning to end, it also has a 45 round magazine along with a double magazine. This means it has an overall higher damage output when it counts.
    Your criteria is also only against Exosuits, which is fine for the most part but it is a different case when very powerful Mutants come into the picture where every bit of DPS counts and you DON'T want to be very up close like with the Holemaker.
    So, when factoring in scenarios where DPS counts the Dnipro, Saiga DT-12, and ASPS are optimal choices. They're ALL better than the Rhino, especially when every single second counts against those super tough mutants.
    The Zubr-19 is also placed far too low as it is a true budget gun with extremely high penetration, very high clip size, and very high DPS for its very low cost.
    The ASPS also can reach a 30 round magazine along with extremely high penetration using the most basic pistol round. It's also significantly cheaper to repair when compared to Assault Rifles, so I think it is a significantly better weapon than the Rhino, especially when DPS and maintained DPS really counts.
    The guns I think scored far too high on this list are the RAM-2, Rhino (especially Rhino), and the Kharod (lower DPS than Dnipro, less ammo availability early game, significantly harder to reach larger magazine).

      Dnipro on its base ammo has the same breakpoints as the Kharod. 545 vs 556 are similar weight/ammo cost, 545 more common early to middlegame, middle-endgame 556 similar droprate to 545. Both are everywhere and easy to get.
      Kharod can convert to 545 for 5k so this ammo argument doesn't really hold to scrutiny as it can switch to the ammo that is theoretically better.
      APSB is bad against mutants because it breaks fast. It has 210 bursts before 0 durability, but hitting 50% durability means your gun can jam, so you realistically have 100 good bursts before this happens. It depends on the mutant. The Rhino is a sniper rifle that has 450 shots before it breaks with 100 base damage and 1 taps the hardest enemies in the game at really far range with basic ammo. It doesn't need many if any upgrades and it has the best stats of the pistols in terms of how much it costs to run it, how consistent it is, and how effective it is. If you run AP rounds on the Rhino, you will notice it destroys mutants as well. You need to have high precision with the RAM/Rhino for them to be good. Kharod under barrel attachments are pretty insane when used correctly, the mini saiga attachment 3 tap headshots bloodsuckers or 4 tap bodyshots them, it also 1-2 tap headshots exos depending on range. Grenade launcher stuns/damages exos in group then 2nd shot can kill or switch to primary fire to mow down staggered groups.
      Holemaker is also 0 durability and uses buckshot, so even if your Kharod is at 2% durability you have an infinite durability mini saiga that can be used to fight most things in the game.

      @@IcedCoffeeGaming The problem with the conversion argument is that you'll end up increasing the repair cost of the Kharod, especially early on when Coupons are more scarce. Also, because Dnipro has better damage, it also conserves more ammo in the long run for things that are outside of simply Exosuits since it can achieve those breakpoints much more easily.
      The point of the APSB isn't that it is exclusively used to handle large mutants, but it's also well adjusted to handle small targets as well, making it significantly more versatile than the Rhino which is only good against large targets. Especially in fights against rats, dogs, pseudo dogs, and simply the unknown, the APSB is simply a better choice to bring when you have no idea what you're up against. It's also cheaper to repair than using an Assault Rifle indoors as well as a significantly better ammo supply.
      The problem with the Hole Maker is that it NEEDS a full reload every single time you reload, which is very bad when compared to the Saiga which can do a fast reload when there's still a single shell in the gun as well as being able to rapidly fire more before a reload is needed. Yes, it's expensive, but you don't use Saiga for anything but the most emergency situations anyway.
      In terms of a budget build, the Zubr-19, SPSA-14, and APSB is the top contender for getting the most performance for the least amount of Coupons.

    • @IcedCoffeeGaming
      @IcedCoffeeGaming  День тому +4

      Why use the APSB as a low level enemy killer when Skifs pistol, which fires the same ammo, is always in your inventory? If I am running a Rhino, I can use Skifs to kill weak enemies that I don't want to waste good ammo on, or just run an SMG/AR.
      5K to switch to this ammo, the base value of a Dnipro is still higher than an upgraded Kharod and harder to get. I don't recommend using full auto weapons on mutants due to how much commitment you have to have in order to do this. If you are fighting a psuedogiant, chimera, burer, controller, etc you don't want to be visible or ADSing to track/put a ton of rounds on target, this makes you susceptible to their attacks. Burst damage allows you to peek angles for fractions of a second, get huge damage out, and return to safety in mutant fights, firefights, bossfights etc.
      Dnipro without blueprint found in pripyat for 762 conversion does not kill any meaningful humans better than the Kharod in early-middlegame. In Endgame, Kharod can 1 tap med-some high armor with AP rounds similar to the Dnipro, both need 2-3 headshots to kill Exos.
      Holemaker reload is pretty fast, reloads 4 relatively quickly not sure what the argument is here. Can reload 4+1.
      APSB does not fit into a budget build it is higher value than a Rhino, wants more upgrades, and burns out quickly.
      "Zubr-19, SPSA-14, and APSB " This build has no range. APS cannot reliably 1 tap at far ranges, ZUBR is an SMG that requires 3-4 headshots to kill exos on, SPSA has limited range.
      This build would be improved by changing the APS to a Rhino, the Rhino can have a scope and hit targets at close-far range with base ammo 1 tapping them, ZUBR used for junk enemies, SPSA for burst.

      @dustytibbins7064 День тому

      @@IcedCoffeeGaming The ASPB's strength is its versatility to deal with unknown situations as it's just about good for everything despite having low durability. You can handle anything from hounds until you need something like a Saiga. This is especially true in close quarters inside buildings where you might not know exactly what you're going to face around the corner. Skif's Pistol might be good for starter enemies, but if its a Poltergeist around the corner then the APSB can make quick work while still remaining budget friendly.
      The Dnipro is actually easier to get than the Kharod, though it is rather damaged. It's located at the cooling towers, which is that that far of a run from Slag Heap. Though, the Zubr-19 is recommended early on, even over the Kharod and Dnipro.
      Again, Kharod has a lower damage output with a harder to acquire ammo type, especially early on. Kharod also cannot get an extended magazine unless you go rather deep into the swamps while Dnipro can have it acquired in the Lesser Zone. So if you wanted power very early on, Dnipro serves that purpose very well while the Kharod will only become super accessible after a certain point where more enemies start to carry GP-37 and Kharods themselves.
      Accessibility is what makes Dnipro better than Kharod.
      The holemaker might have an average reload time, but it needs to reload significantly more while also being slower than the Saiga. Again, when seconds count, the Holemaker just doesn't cut it. This is especially true on how clunky it is to swap over from another weapon to ready the Holemaker. Again, when seconds count, Saiga is the absolute go-to.
      The ASPB is also a budget weapon, especially as an indoor assault rifle alternative. Especially with a 30 round magazine, you can easily speed clear areas with enemies like rats, zombies, psi dogs, and poltergeist.
      Also, Rhino is NOT a budget option when the APSB uses ammo found on the very common PTM found on most human enemies. It's basically free ammo vs ammo you need to buy.

    M701 has been my love in this game, even if Skif takes too long to reload it. I'm personally fond of the G36 and I also find the GP37 underbarrel attachments to be good for conserving weight, so I've been using it as my main rifle, but it's been feeling a little underpowered later on in the game. I was about to try using the Kharod. Gordons are fun because you can equip them as a pistol, but I've been using Deadeye. I haven't used Rhinos much but I was thinking of running it lately.

    The Dnipro on the other hand, once upgraded to fire the otherwise useless PK ammo, is actually an incredible gun. Probably the best close to mid range weapon to deal with large groups of enemies. It got me through the monolith apartment building base, twice, and still had durability left.

    The main differences are the magazines; both the quick-double and the drum are superior to Kharod and make it way more versatile in big fights that are now happening with the re-introduction of Alife. Furthermore, the range stat is more important (than pen) since with Alife, you will be forced to snipe more often with many more human non-exo enemy groups. Also, G36 is way easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade.
    Regarding Kharod's better pen, since G36 is the same caliber but has a way longer barrel, after some balancing (or after we get a caliber-based stat rebalance mod), it will outperform Kharod in anything but RoF.

(again, his considerations for each gun are arbitrary, and change gun to gun making the entire process pointless.)

      I mean high B/low A. It doesn't really do anything other guns don't do better.
      Saiga/Ram greatly outperform it at close-semi-mid range and can 1 tap with base ammo, Dnipro with a ton of upgrades and 2 blueprints cannot even 1 tap an exo at point blank with AP rounds. If it could do this minimum low S tier. Vs mutants, burst is king, DPS can still kill but bloodsuckers don't wait for you to unload 20 rounds into them, you have small time windows to kill/hit most targets in the game.

    • @IcedCoffeeGaming

      Having a shotgun/grenade launcher on your gun gives you more options in combat. Holemaker can 1 tap exos at point blank and 2 tap them at semi-mid range, can 3 tap headshot bloodsuckers instantly, or 4 tap bodyshot them as fast as you can fire. The holemaker does not use weapon durability, so having a mini-saiga mounted to your gun gives you a ton of flexibility and is the only way of having an infinite durability weapon in a game where weapons break. It also lets you use 2 weapon types in a single weapon which is very efficient.
      Of the Dnipro and Kharod, the Kharod can point blank 1 tap headshot with holemaker using BUCKSHOT with no upgrades on the Kharod. Fully upgraded Dnipro does not 1 tap Exos even with AP rounds.

    The Saiga is better for Bloodsuckers and CQB than the Rhino. It trivializes all Mutants, but I did find it annoying that only the dude in the endgame can Upgrade it...

    • @IcedCoffeeGaming
      @IcedCoffeeGaming  День тому +1

      The Rhino can excel at close ranged if you can headshot consistently with it, but it's main advantage is that it is good at every range as well, the Saiga is very limited by range stat of 2 even when fully upgraded, slugs can't 1 shot beyond 2 range.

      Or at least I use a 3-Gun Loadout with the Rhino being your sidearm, Saiga as the Shotgun, and a Kharod/Guass/R701 for the Primary.
      Everything but Exos goes down quick to my kitted Unknown Soldiers AR416 as I found full auto works great for spraying headshots on Xbox 😂

    Surprised you've ranked tier-3 assault rifle lower than the tier-2. I'm calling them "tier-2" and "tier-3" cause ther's an obvious gradation, for both 5.45 and 5.56 calibers. For me Dnipro was an easy S-tier weapon, but I've played on a middle difficulty. And it has a 45 round magazine, the same one used for AK-74

    • @IcedCoffeeGaming
      @IcedCoffeeGaming  2 дні тому

      I will demo why the Kharod is better in the upcoming Kharod/Dnipro guides. The Holemaker 1 shot headshots exos at point blank or 2 shots them, its also great vs mutants and overall kind of overpowered. The nade launcher is actually cracked too, Kharod can have both/switch between them Dnipro is really efficient on base 762 ammo though 2 shot headshots with penetration blueprint upgrade, so it should be at least in A for Veteran.

    Why don't you also list unique weapons? For example if a weapon is low tier, its unique version should also be considered. Otherwise good video. Looking forward for more like this.

  • @Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke
    @Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke День тому

    I think a list that includes uniques is necessary. Most players will lean heavily into using uniques since they are so often meaningfully advantaged over generic counterparts. Doesn't hurt that they usually come in perfect condition and so ready to go for a bit of use even if you are broke.
    That sheet needs to take upgrades into account too.
    The starkest example of both these things is the Clusterfuck, a unique version of a T1 gun that lands somewhere between T2 and T3 stats. The issue this creates is that it has a 30% AP upgrade like many T1s instead of only 10% AP as is typical of T3s, and that all of it's upgrades in general are much cheaper. So they add less value to the gun. Fully upgraded, it is a 79k coupon gun with 52% AP. That, combined with the raw damage per bullet advantage, is the key to it comparing somewhat competitively with the 191k coupon 66% AP Kharod. Their effective efficiency scores, the bane of the Clusterfuck when comparing the base stats, merge once upgraded. (And why the sheet is conditionally wrong - for example, with the AP upgrade Clusterfuck headshot two taps exosuit monolithians.)
