Love how this game has still top tier content to this day, crazy how other games i check are already dead yet here we have a dude uploading tier lists about weapons and getting views too
Just so you know, the AK5 has nothing to do with the other AKs and is actually a variant of the Belgian FN FNC. AK5 Stand for "Automat karbin 5" which just means assault rifle five in swedish.
@@b33croft Man im gonna have to test it out then! I have already used it a bit and i was suprised at how good it was, although that was only on Mayhem.
The AMR with the DMR kit actually became my favorite AR in PD2 once the Little Friend got nerfed. That gun with the DMR kit absolutely murders specials, coupled with a secondary with decent ammo pick up, you've got an unbelievably strong combo for just about any type of build besides stealth and crit.
@@P1SM It was at the start of 2018. It was actually a flat nerf to ALL DMRs, and this included the Little Friend, wherein all of the DMRs got their pick-up rates heavily nerfed into the ground. Side note, the (honestly stupid) reason this was done was because of the AK/CAR DMR kits being incredibly OP, so instead of nerfing JUST the AK/CAR DMR kits, they instead do a flat nerf to ALL DMRs, even when a majority of them weren't OP (or even good). In my opinion, they should've actually BUFFED all the underperforming DMRs instead of giving a flat nerf to all of them, leaving almost all DMRs dead in the water trash guns. People constantly talk of weapon nerfs being needed but why the fuck nerf weapons when we can just buff the ones that underperform instead??? This isn't a PvP game, nerfs shouldn't be needed at ALL except in the most glaring of instances (like silencer perks back in the day). For a PvE game, buffing underperforming weapons, abilities, armors, etc should be the answer.
My favourite aspect to the Union 5.56 wasn't mentioned here, but is worth considering when choosing what AR to get: The Union 5.56 is not level-locked. It may seem trivial at first, but being able to use the Union immediately after triggering Infamy really helps get you back up there in terms of character levels, especially considering how many levels of Infamy players can now achieve.
@@yol_n Well no, Infamy levelling via pool is still a lot slower than the old method, so if you want to get infamy fast then this is still an important stat to consider
The union is one of the first guns I started to rock when I got payday. I'm still new to the game and am about to reach lvl 100 and go infamous for the first time. I was actually worried about this after I was reminded that level requirements for weapons were even a thing. I feel like I've got incredible luck when it comes to my weapon choice, as I picked up the lebensauger as my first sniper rifle just to try them out.
The fact that my favorite weapon in the entire game wasn't done dirty and even ended up at the top of the list fills me with indescribable joy. Also the Bootleg may be trash stat-wise, it is still stupid fun to use on a dodge build, but lost it's relevance when lmg were buffed.
The bootleg is really fun just because the LMG's are so op now that it shreds through enemys I think it kills enemys so fast that it's not even fun anymore.
The "Tactical Tuna" is also my go to AR, it never disappoints. I may use others for different purposes but for a straight run and gun it's the Union. I use the Car-4 a fair chunk as well but you can make that thing whatever you want it to be, that's kinda the point.
just so you know: it's possible to make the m308 have 100 acc 100 stab, while keeping both single fire and auto modes That with the 25 shot magazine (surefire) just shreds through specials (i was using a grenade launched as a secondary) mods are: competitors compensator, scope mount, LED combo, sight of choice, jaeger body skills needed: basic stable shot, aced steady grip, basic surefire
Galant have to be my favourite. After finaly reciving loooong overdue update to it's ammo pick up, this gun it's a blast to use with crits. Plus, surefire changing mag size form 8 to 23 is just magical ;) .
Yea my baby AK5 sits on number 2. Got great damage, concealment, 70 ish accuracy and 100 stability if done correctly. Union is my second favorite, AK5 got slightly better stats than the union for me.
With some skills the union becomes a laser beam with both 100 acc and stability, and not gonna lie i don't like it. Love the bootleg because it's everything i love about both LMGs and ARs plus it's satisfying to hit something with it since it's RoF is pretty low
@@ryanchong9965 hmm, ever tried ADS-ing? Or get close to the target? I never play DS loud so idk if some of these would work in DS or even DSOD. Headshots saves a lot of ammo, try going for those especially since a single headshot can usually kill anything other than specials (except cloakers) when you're using the bootleg
TBH, I'm surprised you placed the valkyria so high! I used it a ton before it's mag buff because I love the as-val, and I'm glad you thought highly of it ^^
I'm really impressed with this video, and am off to try out some of these. I personally am attached to my Queen's Wrath. Which I modded to get 92 Stability plus Stable Shot to get 100 Stability overall. One weakness is the 4.5 reload time. But with the right skills and a speed pull mag I bring it down to a 1.7. It's definitely not the meta but it's my baby lol.
If you give the bootleg the long barrel, rubber grip, and an accuracy boosting stock, it becomes honestly pretty fun to use. It works really good in the hands of AI teammates, too.
When I choose an AR, I'm always stuck between the Lion's Roar, the M308, The AK5 and the Gecko before a loud heist. If you complete the sniper parts challenges for the Gecko and improve its accuracy as much as possible and make stability go 100 it shreds. I used the Union constantly when it was released, but it just wasnt fun or interesting after, you know? But I still have a kitted out Union for when I complete Infamy and need to level up.
Fun fact, the ak5 shares its name with it's real counterpart, but isnt a real AK, it's actually an FN FNC rifle, no relation to the Kalashnikov rifles. The ak in AK5 stands for assault rifle in swedish iirc.
My Favorite is the Queens Wrath, mostly because it is a decent one, it looks cool and i like Clover^^ Good Video and nice Commentary as always :) I will take a look at the Union, somehow it slipped under the radar, i dont think i ever played it after more than 900h :D
The Commando is great for early game stealth as you just need a suppressor that doesn't lower conceal and the heated treated body. Group this with the Gruber Kurz and you'll have pretty low concealment. Decent for early stealth with low conceal based on my experience playing PD2.
Thanks for the video! :) I think a sniper rifle ranking would be very interesting. My favorite is the Desert Fox. 500 base damage combined with enough concealment for crit builds and high ammo pickup is just insane. :D
Base Stats AK 7.62s aren't amazing, but I personally used them for the longest time because damage Some of the attachments really did help with it too, but the AK17 really did come in with some useful improvements out of the box.
Yeah, golden ak is my favourite AR Low rof, little reticle shake, combind with its high achivable stats(100/96 without supressors) make it a great combo for an ammo hungry secondary(like krink) + it just looks cool
I tried using the tempest today and with surefire and crits, it outperforms the cav 9mm by a long shot. Sure it took more shots to kill a bulldozer, but it had more ammo in reserve, meaning that i didnt have to waste my entire mag and reserve ammo to kill 1 black dozer. Tempest also is able to use surefire, due to be able to have autofire.
I personally love the cavity 9 in my deathsentence dodge build I use the mark10 as secondary weapon in that build btw (The shot sound of the cavity is just awesome )
@@b33croft yep and shreds dozers if they get to close recoil is kinda hard to control but if you shoot in bursts and learn the recoil it's just awesome
@@b33croft just tested the gr308 instead of cavity9 with my dodge build works pretty good but the thing is it's auto fire and it can't switch to single shot but that also shreds even skull dozers
Ive actually found a LOT of use with the AMR-16... with the proviso that I had the Extra Attachments Compilation+ Mod. EAC+ adds Assault Kits for the high-damage, low-pickup rifles, lowering their damage but boosting their ammo and pickup rates, and it makes them really good. The AMR 16 with its Assault Kit is a fucking ZEAL Shredder in a dodge build.
The Union 5.56 with a 5/7 to back it up is enough to get you through any mission up to Overkill with very little thinking required. Any other opinions will be punished harshly.
I actually used the AMR-16 for years. With the right attachments it really does clap pretty well. In reality though, the only reason i choose to pick it is cause of the classic M16 attachments that I'm a sucker for 😅
I recently started to use tempest on some low-con, crit build and I started to really enjoy it, especially because it has speed mag, and I don't have to really to use something like a vintage mag for low-con.
Im so happy that the ARs got buffed. Should've gotten said buff a long time ago but still, fuckin awesome that some of em are more viable now. Also, fuck the Little Friend ammo nerf.
yes! feels good to see my good ol trusty union5.56 takes the w I love that rate of fire + pick up rate + speed pull mag combo it gets the job done and it gets it smoothly
Ever since they buffed ammo pickups for the 80+ damage rifles I find myself using the Eagle Heavy more often than before. Somethin about it just feels right to use.
Yea I have a smg rank video coming soon. I think I tested the jackal around 2. The high damage smgs arent the best, the hire fire rate ones are! And a couple of the akimbo ones of course
Comment kinda aged poorly, Payday 2 when the game received updates had above 50k ppl average, these days is less than 15k 😂 Also, add the fact that Payday the heist barely has players and that Payday 3 failed miserably
Since in the console version there is no some weapons (e.g Union), I used the Lion's Roar, and I recommend it! At first, its recoil is kind of high, however, if you use the stabilty/accuracy skills, you can have reach to 100 of stability and, if I'm not mistaken, about 70 of accuracy, making it very good for hip fire xD (just reminding that it is for the console version. I don't know if these stats still the same in the recent updates)
Thank you for doing this video but I'm sad to see amr 16 and Eagle heavy so low on the list because I apreciate those guns. Anyway keep up the good work
While I've only been playing the game for a year or so I still love the feel of it as well as the attention to detail. As mentioned elsewhere, the tactical tuna is by far my favourite AR so seeing it ranked top gives me a degree of bias justification. I can always find a spot for the Car-4 though as it's so moddable you can make it what you need at the time. I might have a few... Now how about the LMG list where you confirm that the M60 is king because I like my choices being proven right by someone on YT who's significantly better at the game than I ever will be? Joking aside, I've learnt a fair bit about the game from watching your content, I choose different loadouts based on the guides you've provided but I'm still going to pick certain things for the memery and because they're fun. I salute your content sir and hope to see more while still consuming your back catalogue of things I haven't watched yet.
After video thoughts: I was spot on with my guesses, little friend is great for damage if accurate since high damage and with skills you can get enough ammo to last.
I like using the Union cuz it's very pretty and is a good gun, now I like it even more because of how REALLY good it is to make that far on the list while being a free2play gun
Ever since moving to PC after a 2 year break from the game, the Union was the first gun I bought and has been treating a scrub like me very well. I have no idea how to build good in Payday but even though this is a little outdated as of update 210 it's still making me want to take building more seriously knowing my main gun has such great potential.
funny thing is the union 556 can be aquired very early on it I used it as soon as I could get it when I was less than level 10, I always wondered why it was so good.
although i do think the galant should be higher, i can agree that the union is objectively the best i don't regret picking it as a starter weapon despite the more familiar amcar or ak
In my opinion since the update the M308 is the best one. The buffed ammo pickup plus it getting the concealment mod make it insane for both stoic and rogue builds where you need to get consistent kills to keep yourself alive
AMR 16 is definetly one of the best (atleast when you dont care about concealment), with use of some skills you can put it on 100 acc + 100 stability with both lower and higher dmg builds. It has excellent dmg and firerate which means you melt dozers easily even on highest difficulties. Ammo pickup is not great, but I think it got buffed some while ago and it is completly fine if you sometimes switch to the secondary weapon.
I love the Eagle Heavy, it's a high-accuracy/high-damage weapon, though the recoil is hard, it can be controlled with experience, the huge amount of mods and setting it to semi-auto (that way you won't empty your small mag when being tazed) Everytime, I get the most kills, with the best accuracy of the heist. It may not be the best on paper, but in practice it's unbeatable
feels like the galant should have ranked higher than the cavity :/ i've been using it for stealth because i did not want to use the infamous cavity + judge combo and tbh it's just a better cavity unless you were only talking about loud, but if so, then the cavity's long animations should not be a problem for pagers. anyways great vid can't wait for the sniper tier list ;) gotta say tho, my boy union ranking high :)
Ok, this is straight up one of your best made videos. My community spreadsheet is outdated as hell! One issue though on the Cavity, weapon animations don't affect the time it takes to start answering pagers.
This reminds me i never liked any automatic weapons in this game, only single fire ones, TF2 must've had an affect on me, but weapons like the little friend is the only one i use from this category, just because of how good it is and feels in single fire. I always use the AK in l4d2 so it's weird that i don't use any AR's here
I like the AMR-16, if you can hit your shots and don't spray all over the place like a dumbass, it can be amazing. *The ammo pickup sucks donkey though.*
Finally got payday 2 on PC and the Union is such a good weapon for solo holdouts. No recoil and with almost maxed stats it is essentially a beam of bullets .
Well i have some issues with the list. I have no problem with the ak5 but on one down it's really painful to use, but still one of my favourite on any other difficulty. And btw most assault rifles can be modded to 100 accuracy and stability, but you have to experience a bit so that negates most ar-s downsides.
Fun fact, the Swedish AK5 in name is seperate from the Russian AK rifles, where the AK in Russian stands for "Kalashnikov's Automatic rifle", AK5 refers to it being the 5th automatic carbine Sweden has aquired a license to produce.

Yea I have a smg rank video coming soon. I think I tested the jackal around 2. The high damage smgs arent the best, the hire fire rate ones are! And a couple of the akimbo ones of course
Yeah but I would like some variation in what I use every now and then so I guess that influences how I feel about certain weapons
Payday 2's fans are about as loyal as Team Fortress 2's, except Payday 2 still gets updates
I love both. Lol
Tf2 is a never dying classic to bridge all generations.
Comment kinda aged poorly, Payday 2 when the game received updates had above 50k ppl average, these days is less than 15k 😂
Also, add the fact that Payday the heist barely has players and that Payday 3 failed miserably
@@varsik28915k is still.. in like the top 100 steam games ever.
Since in the console version there is no some weapons (e.g Union), I used the Lion's Roar, and I recommend it!
At first, its recoil is kind of high, however, if you use the stabilty/accuracy skills, you can have reach to 100 of stability and, if I'm not mistaken, about 70 of accuracy, making it very good for hip fire xD (just reminding that it is for the console version. I don't know if these stats still the same in the recent updates)
Very cool mate, thanks !
@@b33croft :D
I love this video format bro, there's something so clean about it. Pretty good vid as well! 👍
appreciate that mate :)
Thank you for doing this video but I'm sad to see amr 16 and Eagle heavy so low on the list because I apreciate those guns.
Anyway keep up the good work
Thanks mate :)
While I've only been playing the game for a year or so I still love the feel of it as well as the attention to detail. As mentioned elsewhere, the tactical tuna is by far my favourite AR so seeing it ranked top gives me a degree of bias justification. I can always find a spot for the Car-4 though as it's so moddable you can make it what you need at the time. I might have a few...
Now how about the LMG list where you confirm that the M60 is king because I like my choices being proven right by someone on YT who's significantly better at the game than I ever will be?
Joking aside, I've learnt a fair bit about the game from watching your content, I choose different loadouts based on the guides you've provided but I'm still going to pick certain things for the memery and because they're fun. I salute your content sir and hope to see more while still consuming your back catalogue of things I haven't watched yet.
Thanks mate, appreciate it
buzzsaw is the best one dont @ me :P reason?
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Man is like replying to comments props to him for relpying
Appreciate you mate :)
the music is perfect for the setting of watching the character dance; comedy whilst taking in information.
(amazing)
After video thoughts: I was spot on with my guesses, little friend is great for damage if accurate since high damage and with skills you can get enough ammo to last.
Yea it can get a little light in ammo on high difficulties
Finally, i have been looking for best assault rifle and here it is, thanks
Welcome mate!
I love all the extra work he's put in to this. You go croft!
Thanks mate :)
Awesome list as always! I really live the GLaDOS voice for all weapon names ^^ Nice overview of all stats as well, must have taken forever to make :o
thanks my friend! Yea it took a LONG time. took your suggestion of putting the weapon name on the screen as well as having GLados say it lol
Awesome :D
After a long break,the man himself came back from his slumber.
Hell yea!
Every time you upload it makes my day even better
This comment made my day :)
I like using the Union cuz it's very pretty and is a good gun, now I like it even more because of how REALLY good it is to make that far on the list while being a free2play gun
Yea such a good one for many reasons!
Ever since moving to PC after a 2 year break from the game, the Union was the first gun I bought and has been treating a scrub like me very well. I have no idea how to build good in Payday but even though this is a little outdated as of update 210 it's still making me want to take building more seriously knowing my main gun has such great potential.
This will not stop me from using the bootleg
and it shouldn't, this is just my list! Yours can be and should be different
funny thing is the union 556 can be aquired very early on it I used it as soon as I could get it when I was less than level 10, I always wondered why it was so good.
The AR I love are
10:Little Friend
9:Clarion
8:Uar
7:Cavity
6:M308
5:Queen's Wrath
4:Bootleg
3:JP36
2:Gecko
1:Union
Awesome!
I agree. I think the jp should be ranked higher on the videos list
although i do think the galant should be higher, i can agree that the union is objectively the best
i don't regret picking it as a starter weapon despite the more familiar amcar or ak
I like the ak17 with the black skin mods
Its really good
Love it too!
In my opinion since the update the M308 is the best one. The buffed ammo pickup plus it getting the concealment mod make it insane for both stoic and rogue builds where you need to get consistent kills to keep yourself alive
Yea it’s great again. Was amazing, then crap and then good again lol the payday life cycle
Hey mate! I just started playing PayDay 2 once again, after half a year of not doing so. That's why I'm back here once again :)
Good to see you mate!
AMR 16 is definetly one of the best (atleast when you dont care about concealment), with use of some skills you can put it on 100 acc + 100 stability with both lower and higher dmg builds. It has excellent dmg and firerate which means you melt dozers easily even on highest difficulties. Ammo pickup is not great, but I think it got buffed some while ago and it is completly fine if you sometimes switch to the secondary weapon.
yea it recently got an ammo buff, luckily I made this video after the buff so all that counted lol
God these ranking videos are addicting
Thank you :)))))
I love the Eagle Heavy, it's a high-accuracy/high-damage weapon, though the recoil is hard, it can be controlled with experience, the huge amount of mods and setting it to semi-auto (that way you won't empty your small mag when being tazed)
Everytime, I get the most kills, with the best accuracy of the heist. It may not be the best on paper, but in practice it's unbeatable
My man we miss you so much i hope you doing great
Thanks dude, I’m doing great!
you are my favorite youtubers just because you just seem so nice :)
:) thanks my friend
feels like the galant should have ranked higher than the cavity :/
i've been using it for stealth because i did not want to use the infamous cavity + judge combo and tbh it's just a better cavity
unless you were only talking about loud, but if so, then the cavity's long animations should not be a problem for pagers.
anyways great vid can't wait for the sniper tier list ;)
gotta say tho, my boy union ranking high :)
:) thanks mate
Ok, this is straight up one of your best made videos. My community spreadsheet is outdated as hell! One issue though on the Cavity, weapon animations don't affect the time it takes to start answering pagers.
Thanks mate, it just feels so long, the folding animation of putting the weapon away and then answering. Haven’t timed it just feels gross lol
This reminds me i never liked any automatic weapons in this game, only single fire ones, TF2 must've had an affect on me, but weapons like the little friend is the only one i use from this category, just because of how good it is and feels in single fire. I always use the AK in l4d2 so it's weird that i don't use any AR's here
Yep, it’s deffinitely tf2 rewriring your brain to favor high-damage, slow-firing guns. I also play tf2 but man I love the CAR-4 and Bootleg.
Also it’s just inefficient too full auto. Having too reload every 2 seconds in the face of 200 cops is something else
@@elijahnakumura4375 DMR kit Assault Rifles and DMRs, problem solved
7:07 I like how you put the galant ping sound when you said "Ping"
Thanks mate :)
can't wait for payday 3 so he could rankings all over again
Haha me too mate
Glad to know the AK5 is in the top :D it served me well for my DSOD Builds.
yea I love that gun!
I didn't want this
*i needed this*
And starting to watch for the *holy shit*
Haha perfect
My Boy is back in the youtube game!
Yoooo umuuut!!!!!
My favorites are The little friend, AK, both AK.762, Valkyria, Lion’s Roar, and UAR. AND obviously the Famas cuz it go Brrrrr
haha big brrrrrrrrr
but have you said hello?
Another quality video man
Thanks mate :)
I personally go with the gecko as a Quick and easy spray and pray gun that works to surprising success
very cool mate!
My fav AR the Valkyria wound placing #3 so I’m very happy
it's so good!
The FAMAS is my favorite AR.
And it’s 1 of few ARs I actually use.
So much fun!
@@b33croft Which AR do you prefer?
I'm so happy i got a weapon skin for union 5.56 that gives me a speed pull magazine (and other stuff)
Oh boy time to have my taste roasted
Same
same x2
Haha nah
I like the AMR-16, if you can hit your shots and don't spray all over the place like a dumbass, it can be amazing.
*The ammo pickup sucks donkey though.*
Finally got payday 2 on PC and the Union is such a good weapon for solo holdouts.
No recoil and with almost maxed stats it is essentially a beam of bullets .
So good!
That one "gun expert": iTs acTuAlLY cALlEd aN aRmIltE riFLe!!!1!
haha exactly
…but no. That’s only for an AR-15, AR10, and AR180 specifically
@@jackrohrer2773 I was joking around and mocking those "gun experts"
@@thepeskyone ok
@@jefftanner690 ok
Well i have some issues with the list. I have no problem with the ak5 but on one down it's really painful to use, but still one of my favourite on any other difficulty. And btw most assault rifles can be modded to 100 accuracy and stability, but you have to experience a bit so that negates most ar-s downsides.
I thought I was watching one of your videos from 9 months ago, damn...
Haha nope, brand new!
Holy phuck, I was just replied to
YES
Fun fact, the Swedish AK5 in name is seperate from the Russian AK rifles, where the AK in Russian stands for "Kalashnikov's Automatic rifle", AK5 refers to it being the 5th automatic carbine Sweden has aquired a license to produce.
Awesome, not sure about “fun” though lol
@@b33croft True, fun in this case is debatable.
Its finaly here! ty
Made it!
Are you planning one of these worst-best videos with SMGs? That would be helpful!
Yes, working on it right now mate
Still waiting for best loading screen tips
I turned them off ;)
