Top 10 Most Broken Guns in Esports
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- From CS:GO to Apex to Valorant, nearly every FPS game ever made has a weapon or two that is just… well, busted.
Some of them get patched before players are really able to abuse them while others manage to survive long enough to terrorize you in matchmaking for months.
So this week, we wanted to look at the guns that made you want to pull your hair out. They're the guns that even scrubs can slay with: the Top 10 Most Broken Guns in Esports.

"For a shotgun that had the range of a fukin' ballistic missile..." lmao
marleythirteen goated
better with the accent
wait until they know about fricking Phantom Forces
I read this with gordon's accent thanks to your pfp 😂
XD
I don't know why but every FP shooter launches with a broken shotgun and sniper rifle. It's so consistent that it's almost terrifying.
My guess is that the developers choose to make a new addition overpowered so you'll use it. I always think of League of Legends. EVERY new champ is OP. It basically forces people to use it which is good for new additions to any game cause it garners attention, then they nerf it lmao. Just the way it is it seems.
@@hoopwizardws not every new champion is op tho, just look at Yuumi and her 23% wr iirc
I think is hard to balance weapons before the players use them, sometimes they get creative and find ways to abuse the heck out of them
I think because people like the feeling of overpowered shit. So get them into the game with it and the balance it later
Kinda makes sense, especially with shotguns it’s easy to overcompensate for the range restriction, and if it’s good at range they are too good in general.
@@Edgardo4415 Yuumi had crazy numbers on launch, people just had 0 clue how to play her or with her, she shifts how you do botlane so much.
You forgot the most broken gun of all time. The Olof boost.
God no one will forget about it
jumping double from cold? awp broken?
i always lock in olof boost
Team LDCL Also used a gamebreaking boost yet no one talks about it
@@mjaimk tenz frenzy clip😳
I feel like the bucky deserves some recognition here its peak was insane, if you knew how to use it it was unbeatable and had unrealistic range and accuracy
The old Bucky made everything between the Classic and the Vandal/Phantom obsolete xD
I feel like stinger made a bigger impact in the game
@@j023ph101499 it was more widely used but less broken and shorter lived
@@garrettstroop8672 it’s hard to compare the two but the stinger could outshoot phantoms at distance and it would insta kill up close. It made big differences in tournaments and would basically be 10 stingers on second round.
@@garrettstroop8672 and also! Not to mention the frenzy meta. Back when you could buy light shield AND frenzy on first round 😭
I'd like to see this list with honorable mentions. I'd love to see Ela Shotgun from siege, along with the AS Val socom rounds from MW
Or the 725 shotgun from MW. It has been nerfed so much and I still manage to oneshot people 60 meters away....
Ela shotgun was always Op but it was hidden from her broken smg
@@cape4417 true it was insane
I wouldn’t consider the Val because that was a bug rather than being overpowered.
Ela shotgun was never overpowered tbh just shotguns worked differently to now
2:54 "Imagine a sniper in the game which can shoot 8 bullets at a time, you'd say that's a pretty fuckin stupid idea, it's about as balanced as yer Da after 10 pints"
Couldn't have put it any fookin better xD
Apex was literally referred to as “mastiff legends” for months, I’m a little surprised it wasn’t on here.
Me too. The Mastiff was a must pick before the nerf.
I miss that time in every bubble fight every one have mastiff if you dont have it and go fight in gibby bubble you just committed sucide
yea. i mean a 2-shot floor loot gun is kinda op
Eva was more broken tho
@@huayhuy172 I agree, with Eva you just spam and mow people down. Mastiff shoots slower and you need to hit your shots. Eva has more shots making it more forgiving.
The R8 was just hilariously broken
no way i havent known that thanks for the info
is it not just a deagle? i dont get it. whats the difference between the revolver and the deagle?
The deagle is still broken af in my rank sometimes we just give up on the game and try to out aim one another it’s just flash xantares peak. Can you guess my rank?
Well it’s face it level 9 not silver surprise!
@@luna7677 well pre nerf , the r8 could be a one shot kill on the body in close range iirc , which made it a hand awp. And it had nearly the same firing rate as a deagle too.
@@ericnguyen3446 gold af
I'd say the pre-nerf AWP in CSGO was more broken than the pre-nerf Operator in Valorant.
It was impossible to kill a good AWPer at that time, the CZ was busted too and had very little recoil with an insanely fast weapon swap speed.
@@ChiefinPack the pre nerf tec-9. oh god I'm having flashbacks.
But ofcourse post-nerf Operator was really shittier than post-nerf AWP, played both games and hot damn is the awp really makes you feel good when shooting it
I think the reason the pre nerf op from Val just slightly edges out cs’s awp is how Jett played into the mix. Jett’s abilities and synergy with the gun are what really made the op so broken
@@itsdendy7403 yeah no wonder people call valorant a good game operator s half broken than the pre nerf awp just look at KennyS he was a god easily clutching 1v4 with no scopes and quick scopes
An additional thing to remember is that with the release of Ela in R6, Lesion also dropped... and it was the advent of the "trapper" meta, to combat the power of the rush play style many players adopted... so you had so many traps to deal with as an attacker, AND Ela had a ridiculous weapon... ngl though I miss those days
Y’all forgot about the 725 in MW2019. When it came out, despite being classified as a shotgun, it served as a sniper. Legit you would see guys making cross the map on Picadilly on that window above the shop, I think it was more reliable than a sniper, it’s insane how broken it was
The models from MW2 were way more broken than the 725. The range on them were literally across entire maps if you ever used them
Could never use the 725 in competitive
Would've loved some more in depth talk about the Wingman because the oneshot headshot was certainly one of the main issues, but the rabbit hole goes way deeper. Because it also came with incredible mobility and hipfire, making it basically the best pistol, sniper and shotgun at the same time.
I would have loved them to actually give a reason its peak headshot damage was 110 not a one shot and skullpiercerer hasnt even been available for months maybe it's just me but I think it's less broken and more low skill floor high skill cieling type gun
@@thepastalordandhispastakin2764 That's definitely what it is. Especially since the nerf to fire rate, ammo capacity, skull piercer damage etc. It can still be pretty spammy tho
yeah its the old fire rate that made it insane. still a good gun now but by no means OP
@@thepastalordandhispastakin2764 correct me if I’m wrong but 110 damage is a one shot without shield or helmet.
@@footgap1530 it is but I'm the current game it's not possible to get a one shot from full health unless they have taken prior damage as you drop with white shield and helmet which causes wingman headshots to drop to 90 there fore by passing the whole insta kill headshot cause you would live with 60 health
"the gun was about as unstable as ya dah after 10 pints" lmfao
the bucky in valorant when it cold one tap someone with the right click from 15 meters away
the judge can do it since the beta
@@MeStazz judge has no right click
@@OK-cp8qw we're not talking about judge without right click, we're talking about how fast it is to fire than bucky
Siege weapons then: no recoil
Siege weapons now (well some of them): borderline uncontrollable
recoil go brrrr
Lmao nah. 90% of guns still have 0 recoil. Even the like 5 guns that got "major" recoil nerfs are still easily controllable
Have you seen Thorn's UZK?
Ah yes. Scorpion aka no recoil 50 mag demon.
Now its 40 mag with recoil more drugged than Snoop Dog at 4:20 AM
Haha scorpion go brrrrr
I have no idea what kind of drugs Ubi was on during that time
@@justalpha9138 Ask Bandit
@@s4mukn1ght35 😂
Me: Wait, i've seen this one
Escore: what u mean? This is brand new
"That's about as balanced as yar da after 10 pints"
As a brit, this is hilarious lmao
the wingman attachment was skull-piercer not skill, it also maxed at 101 with no helmet, so it basically never 1 shot and without a helmet could barely 2 shot someone with purple armor.
yes but the 12 bullet mag was stupid. its more balanced now but season 0 wingman was obnoxious
you know nothing kid, the fire rate on the wing man rendered every other stat absolute, you could spam that thing so quick to get as many headshots you wanted, i’m 99% sure SP made the wing man do 121 headshots, which could double tap someone.
@@AMMARvx it was broken I'm just correcting the incorrect information lol
They had forgot the alternator with disruptor rounds
@@AMMARvx "you know nothing kid" LOL. Get a hold of this clown
I still remember downloading the R8 update, and every damn ranked match was filled with it.
Best night of my life.
With 666 fire rate, AUG was, indeed, the devil back then!
it still broken , it just that no one bother using it until Valve decided to make it just $50 more expensive than M4 and now everyone have a reason to use it only to found just how broken it still is. good thing Valve nerfed it properly after that shot show they make
Lmao i would rather get aug than getting the ak back then during t side
Bruh 800 RPM AUG was way more stupid
I'm surprised to see no CZ:GO i remember how infuriating it was to get killed by it basically every other round..
This daily dose is all I want! I appreciate it.
smg-11 with acog and 0 recoil is the most broken gun
The fact that the classic is number 5 makes this video one of the most accurate Top 10s to ever grace this website
Would love to see a top 10 of low tier characters winning against the odds or dominating a match (like Panda, Dee Dee Dee, Hakan etc.)
DMR in warzone was insane when it first launced, one shotted players to the head with stopping power
Marley definitely made every Scot laugh and everyone else confused
The 725 of Modern Warfare (2019) should have been on that list. That weapon has completely ruin the entire game and it took them months to nerf. A shotgun that can oneshot from across the map. At least the memes of it were pretty funny ngl.
IDK man the Vall with the PP rounds pretty much rivals or even beats the 725 in terms of brokenness due to the gun being able to shoot through the entire map.
@@teapot4256 Vall required a little of aim and skill to use it... the 725 did not need anything of that. You didnt even need to ADS, just run and gun and clean all the lobby.
Ela's SMG from Siege will always be a menace along with Maestro's LMG when it had an Acog
8:15 stodeh not sliding down that hill gives me the greatest anxienty issues i've every felt
Genuinely expected to see the Bucky in here ngl
i would’ve loved to see the freaking eva 8 on this list, 2 tap is no problem with a shotgun but not when it’s full auto with a fire rate faster than the wing man. Also S6 Devo.
Cant forget Season Two alternator with Disruptor rounds
@@monkeyman3847 Its not semi auto, its full auto.
For the wingman, the reason wasnt really because of the range and damage. The normal body shot damage was balanced and u did need to land shots. but what made it broken was the fire rate and magazine size of it.
dont forget the bucky in valorant pre nerf
or the shorty
the difference between wingman and spitfire is that wingman actually takes skill and aim to use, spitfire doesn’t
Yea about the wingman i think even tho its op since it requires actual skill it shouldnt get nerfed at all unlike the spitfire
@@ububugagaga yeah. if you can aim it’s crazy, but if you can’t aim it’s not. it’s dependent on performance.
The wingman isn’t really broken anymore, the fire rate was dropped a lot and there’s less bullets etc
I don’t think they were talking about the most broken guns right now, but historically. That thing was fucking nuts on launch. Fast fire rate (20 percent faster than now), 12 round mag max (as opposed to 9 now), 2.5x headshot multiplier on skullpiercer (which has been reduced to 2.25x) which was purple rarity rather than gold. It was busted.
I remember that week with the R8, that’s all any competitive game was no matter what rank you were. It was actually kind of fun since everyone was using it so you really had to rely on your aim more than the automatic fire of an AR but holy shit was it busted
That Kixstar clip bruh I wasn’t ready
Oh, how I hate the spitfire. You might be wondering if I mean the titanfall 2 or apex version.
The answer is yes
Edit: I POSTED THIS BEFORE I KNEW IT WAS HERE PFFFT
That gun is pretty much strong in TF|2 especially when you pair it A-Wall
@@mysteryboii4869 oh, I know. From experience. Painful, painful experience.
@@fluffywolfo3663 I absolutely can relate those filthy Spitfire A-Wall campers
@@mysteryboii4869 I realize that on some level I'm asking to get melted by automatics (I use Wingman Elite) but _not that one_
Come on
all valorant weapons that were meta and broken at some point:
classic, frenzy, stinger, bucky, judge, operator
R6 Siege's honorable mentions:
- Frost's Super 90 (Benelli M3T) semi-auto shotgun at Y1S1 launch. You could spawnpeek with it. Used to be known as Sniper 90.
- Most weapons of the original operators because of ACOG. Back in the day, SAS' SMG-11, Jäger's 416-C and Bandit's MP7 used to be fine examples of spawnpeeking machine for defenders. Meanwhile Ash's R4-C and Twitch's F2 were were the sweepers for the attackers.
- Maestro's ALDA 5.56 (CETME Ameli), not only because it used to have ACOG, but basically MP7 on steroids with CSGO Negev hipfire mechanics and little to no recoil.
- Jackal's C7E. 46 DMG + 800 RPM and no recoil back in Y2S1, prior to Operation Health. One of the fastest TTK ever seen in Siege.
Amazing editing as usual!
'Extremely skilled players'
Goes on to show the guy who never uses the classic
Bucky was more broken than the judge in my opinion when it's right click meta was created by battle sage. I mean judge range was always short but bucky right click headshot was too good to be ignored and not making in top 10.
Yeah.
Here to investigate the spitfire's position. I am pleased it is here. Nice vid
It's nice to have danny burke here
I dont think the op is broken. It’s a high skill weapon. If you know how to use it, it can do a lot of damage.
aimimg at center mass and tapping once ≠ skill
its situation is same as in cs go awp used to be before.
@@Flyway999What you described is literally the AWP, Operator is broken before for other reasons
@@NotDavidz bruh i’m not an expert but aren’t the awp and op basically the same gun
@@Flyway999 OP is weaker (less bullets, scope in requires time). AWP is more balanced. What makes the OP "broken" is Jett
Absolutely shocked Felwinter’s Lie from Destiny 1 wasn’t on here. Would put the range of the 1887s to SHAME
Seeing the Wingman brought back memories. I remember after Apex came out Moxyy terrorized games with it
The noob tube and the brecci are honorable mentions too
Instead of spitfire you should have done disrupter rounds alternater it was so broken they nerfed it twice and it still was not enough so they just got rid of it
Funnily enough, with the recent barrel attachment changes that have come with Siege's new season, the Scorpion once again has virtually no recoil.
I remember that in MW if you equiped the AS VAL with armor piercing rounds you could literally shoot through the entire map. Throw out a scout grenade to see someone through walls then just instantly kill them through 20 meters of concrete.
Lol the models from mw2 ... that was a fun time
Love seeing marleythirteen getting some support!! an OG in the cod scene love his vids and yours great work guys!!
i’m very surprised the alternator with disruptor rounds from apex isn’t on here, that gun was the craziest thing in apex history. it was so broken they ended up removing the attachment from the game
The damage of the wingman is pretty broken but the strafe speed makes people who are medium range super hard to hit with certain weapons
I feel like no one remembers the spaz 12 in siege back when valk was released. That gun hit like 80 damage per pellet and could cross map
I remember back when R8 was introduced I was burnt out on CS so I've been taking a break for a couple months, I saw they put a revolver in so I decided to jump in for a deathmatch round just to try it out. I spawned in, and I saw hell.
The 1887 akimbos were some my fondest memories of gaming, a true rush in free for all.
Using marleys clips for the akimbo shottys was an amazing choice
when they were talking about ela's skorpion I wish they included the clip of beaulo Q E spamming spraying at big window on oregon and killing someone because that clip does a better job of explaining why it was so busted than this video did
For the wingman: the wingman also oneshots you in titanfall 2 and yes, the one in apex is the elite wich also rewards you going from 2-3 bodyshots to 1 tap headshots
Disrupter rounds Alternator/Re-45 in Apex. Shit still gives me PTSD to this day when it was announced to be back in Season 10 today. But it was such a fun gun ngl.
Man that week the r8 was released was absolutely hell
There's a UA-camr in Brazil by the name of Otsuka, he uses and abuses the judge and Skye, one of the game agents, AND THIS GUY IS A MONSTER WITH A JUDGE, he gets information from the skye wolf every now and then, uses one bang, gets close, uses the other bang and kills with the knife when there is only one, but when there are 3 guys, he bangs twice and kills on judge
I don't know what the old wingman was like, but the current version is fine as is. Has one of the lowest bullet velocities in the game, meaning it's harder to hit shots.
Type 95 from MW3. Was banned so fast it never even was considered that op lol
When I look at this, all that’s comes to mind is the frekaziod 4K with the R8
While not an esport, when 600 RPM ARs were buffed in Destiny 2, my KD doubled. I went from decidedly mediocre to pretty darn good. When I would do private matches with my friends who are top 500 (console), they started asking me not to use 600s because they were busted, but also because I was just so much better with them than others. I've heard similar stories from a few folks
After witnessing TSM win the recent grand final in NA and watching Wardell dominate, I have to say that the Operator truly is back in the Meta
Saw a cypher on the thumbnail knew Judge was going to be there
maybe the Deagle in CS because you can also 1 shot anyone from anywhere just like the wingman but for the wingman you need to get lucky to find the attachment
A wonderful ace from Elise
If Apex's Mastiff wasn't nerfed and was still meta, it would be on the list. It dominated Season 6, 7 and early Season 8. Crazy shotgun.
The R8 also had a bug where you could right click and shoot while defusing lol
yoooooo the sg552? i never heard of it. only ever heard of sg553 and its one of my favourite guns. this sg552 sounds op
Judge, Odin, Krieg, AUG, classic, Stinger before nerf, operator, R8, and a bunch of rifles from R6 when most weapons had ACOG’s
A broken meta you missed was the stinger meta in valorant. Legit it was better than rifles long range and close range.
Honorable mention; basically every other gun in csgo at one point, ela’s other primary, siege french shotguns
I would love to see the Krieg buffed to have the same fire rate as the AK making it way more viable and not necessarily broken
That 1887 clip gave me crazy nostalgia
Super 90 or even the shotgun of pulse probably deserved honorable mentions
Forgot Alternator Disruptor rounds in Apex season 2 that thing was insane.
You guys need to do more research on your Apex Legend content, the problem with the Wingman at launch was that it had 12 shots, super high rate of fire and no real accuracy reduction when spamming. It never one-shot headshot, and the attachment was called Skullpiercer
Remember the Battlefield 3 USAS-12 Frag Rounds. You could control day and night just by shooting it.
the wingman wasn't even broken because of the headshots, it was the ROF and mag size that made it broken. Both were nerfed, it's much more fair these days.
I still remember that MarleyThirteen video on the model 1887
i think valve nerfed the kreig too hard. say what you want but i liked having competition with the ak. of course i think it was too powerful back in 2019, but i think that heavy of a nerf to the firing rate really killed any possible variety. they should have slightly nerfed the firing rate (not to the point it is today) and instead heavily nerfed the accuracy and armor penetration so that it didnt one tap. just like how the m4 and the aug still have some competition today, there should still be some competition between the ak and the krieg
The guy that said accurucy of a bolistic missoil had me dying
Special mentions - The Bucky, Stinger and Frenzy before the nerfs (both mechanical nerfs and price nerfs)
I think honorable mentions goes to alternator with disruptors from Apex. Shit still gives me PTSD
fmg9 akimbo from mw3, I know cod isnt The most competitive shooter, but that gun was a powerhouse. Secondary weapon with crazy hip fire accuracy and range plus very good damage overall. You could effortlessly destroy everyone with just your secondary, if you had scavenger or if were playing with the perks kilstreak(forgot the name) you wouldnt even worry about ammo.
I sometimes forget how many OP weapons MW2 had (ump, glock18 akimbo, model 1897) but I really miss these days 🙁
They listened to me, thats pog man. From ela's scorpion
Freakazoid: WTF WHY CAN YOU ONE SHOT WITH A PISTOL?
Also Freakazoid: GIMMIE THAT ACE BABY WASSUP
*He has joined the dark side.*
I remember 1 months after apex came out, I only rocked wingman and spitfire and on ps4 where not only the game is new but the opponents aren’t exactly good, I won 124 games in a span of 2 months lmao then I just stopped cuz I got bored lol
The cod pick 100% needed to be the tempest. There wasn't even much of an esports scene in mw2 anyway. But the tempest was actually OP as hell and actually was used in professional leauge matches.
I haven't even started the video and I know the R8 and Krieg are going to be on here.
