Something that you didn't mention that's worth talking about for the atomizer is that it's great for destroying fences that are in the way, also if there is an indestructible fence similar size around air port you can shoot the ground and propel yourself over the fence.
It's also great for dealing with Half-tracks, MOC cabs/trailers and flipping over Terrorbyes while on foot. It either flips them over and forces their occupants out of the trailer, or it exposes the cab/half-track weakpoints where the drivers can be shot out of them.
I said this many times and i will say it again. Special ammo NEEDS a buff in carry capacity except for the explosive rounds. 220 rounds for ARs before having to resupply is way to small, it needs to be doubled at least
and tracer rounds need to have the same capacity or run off the same reserves as normal ammo, it's just a colour change but i guess R* wants all the money
I barely play GTA online nowadays but when I first played it the compact grenade launcher made quick work of vehicles even while I was on foot, plus it’s way more practical to just use the more agile CGL than an RPG or homing missiles but what really makes me love the CGL is being able to use it on vehicles not being able to afford vehicles with weapons in the early stages of GTA Online makes it that much more useful
@a decent person The Lazer is actually very OP when flown by a very good pilot. Explosive sniper cant touch it nor any other vehicle cept another good pilot in a jet.
I feel like another honorable mention should've been the Sweeper Shotgun. It's really usefull on the bike, and also on boats like the Dinghy. Pretty decent when using it like this.
Another useful thing about the EMP launcher is that if your bunker supplies are taken by merryweather via helicopter, EMP the chopper to prevent it from flying then shoot the pilot. However, this can cause the aircraft to take damage so be aware
Also, a useful tip about the Up n Atomizer. If you go in first person, hold the aim button, shoot, and tap LB to instantly switch to your fists, then tap LB again and shoot, you can spam the Atomizer. Do with this information as you will.
Information: The heavy revolver Mk II with incendiary rounds is superb for taking on NPC's with. It's guaranteed 100% fire even on a bodyshot you will kill most NPC's in a single shot making it very efficient. It's also very good against players, but has a significantly higher skill cap than some other weapons so I wouldn't rate it as highly. If you headshot a player with it though, even with full armor, they're screwed.
On the high society leak mission for the Agency, the emp launcher is especially useful once you killed the billionaire as the gun will cause helicopters to slowly land, allowing you to jack them and get to the agency much faster. Yeah, this is the only gun that allows you to hijack helicopters.
One advantage the compact grenades have over the regular one is that it has a shorter range, meaning you can arc grenades over walls and buildings and hit people in places where the regular grenade launcher would just fly right over and miss
I agree with the up n atomizer. There was so many times I had to use it for selling my businesses and a selling vehicle would get stuck I would just use it. Also when I’m not making money it’s fun to use with your friends for little mini games we make up in free mode
Correction TP. You can also ammo up your mark 2 weapons at the Agency. Since snacks are right there too the Agency quickly became my go to spot to ammo and snack up.
I use the compact grenade launcher litteraly all the time. This weapon is extremely versatile and can be used in many situations. What I like in particular is that you can either make the grenade explode instantly with a direct hit or shoot, get to a cover and let the grenade kill everybody but you. There are many missions where I use it, I will just take two examples that show how effective it is. During Cayo Perico preps, you need to fight four guys in a small warehouse. Most of the players use a shotgun for that but I use a compact grenade launcher. When I enter into the room, I launch a grenade at the back, I run to cover on the right corner and if I didn't miss my shot, I get 4 kills in 1 second. I'm very surprised by the way that even speedrunners don't use this technique. Second example: during the acid sell mission with the police ambush, I spot one of the police cars (just search a car or a van with someone inside, you don't need to go all the way to the top), I launch one grenade for a direct hit and I'm out. Moreover, this weapon can be bought even by low level players. I'm currently mounting a new account and this weapon is among those I took on day 1 for my characters. When your main farming tool is a Bati 801, you're very happy to have this weapon in your arsenal.
I actually love the railgun because it’s a halo 4 reference and it’s been fun to shot down MK2 virgins with it while I protect the noobs. It’s like the original explosive sniper.
I agree on 3. I even made a slogan; "The Up'n'Atomizer for all your stuck vehicle needs." Not a good slogan but the point stands. Also the SMG Mk2 and Compact Assault Rifle are great for boat drive-bys. I used to use the Heavy Sniper 2 Explosive Rounds a lot and shot down a fair share of fighter jet trolls but stopped once my ammo vanished between plays.
Just want to say a couple of things. My cousin had that bunker defend mission (with the bombs on the 5-ton truck) come up a few days ago. When when he had diffused them and was starting to drive it away, a van knocked him off the ledge of the alley and sideways into the back yard of someone’s property. It just barely fit in there. We tried everything, including a Cargo Bob, but not the Up-n-Atomizer. Will keep this in mind for next time. Next, I’ll keep the EMP launcher in mind for collect missions. I’ve never thought to use it. lastly, I’ve done exactly what you did with the Heavy Sniper Mk. II. Although for me, I don’t think there was really any thought to it. I just know I wanted explosive rounds in at least one weapon, and I think that one made the most sense. So thank you for the help! Also, special thanks to your guinea pigs who took numerous fatal rounds to the dome and other various weapons tests for the greater good!
Don't forget the up and atomiser is great for launching yourself over fences you can't take down, Ive been saved so many times getting over that annoying airport fence when I'm grinding cayo
I wouldn't say the Explosive Sniper is underrated, more like underused. Most people on this game are well aware of how powerful it is, being the ultimate jet counter weapon. It's not underrated by any means. I think the main reason you don't often see the explosive sniper being used is because most players don't feel like going through all that bunker research to get the upgrade unlocked. I am glad you mentioned the compact rifle though. The fact that you can use it for drive-by never really crossed my mind, and so I never really used it.
NUMBER 1 weapon on PC : Cheat Engine....this superior weapon can be used in many scenarios such as: killing everyone on a map with a single button press at any time without any cooldown, disconnecting anyone from gta online again no cooldown, stealing another player IP adress to type anything in chat under their player username.....the list goes on and on....
Instead of the incendiary ammo on the Heavy MG I put it into the Revolver MK2 and boy it’s 100% more op because every bullets sets the enemy on fire. I always used it on the Doomsday Heist and it stunlocked a lot of the enemies for you to use another weapon to finish them off
The Atomizer is my big mention. I lost count how many times it got me out of trouble bc a vehicle or something got stuck bc of the dumb game mechanics.
hey pro at this moment, rockstar should put you in the next gta game or just simple mention you when rockstar make a thank you video for the community because of your dedication to this franchise is amazing and the way you explain things. watching your videos makes me comeback to gta online because you have some tips for the business and it worked.
The one thing I wish for the compact rifle is it gets a MK to upgrade that way it has a folding stock and it has scopes or RDSs kind of like a aks-74u krinkov I mean the micro SMG has a folding stock and attachments so why not for the compact rifle
The grenades for the Compact launcher also have much lighter physics to them so they bounce really far when you hit a wall and they also slide across the ground quite far so its nice for inside buildings
The Up-n-Atomizer is also just plain fun. You can knock stuff of of utility poles with it, and it's fun to just see what happens when you shoot stuff with it, or when you can knock a pedestrian off a tall ledge.
Totally agree with the Up-n-Atomizer is just a hoot. When we want to mess around with it we will just get a contact mission and not even bother with the mission at first. Just go to a spot and start nailing the NPCs with it. They will start to freak out and combo that with their shit driving skills makes for some amusing times. The mission is specifically so we don't have to worry about cops coming and buzz killing our party.
Two weapons that should have been on this list IMO: Heavy Revolver Mk2 with incendiary rounds, why? It has a 100% chance to set NPC’s on fire killing them in one shot making difficult missions easier because it just forces them to rag doll Marksman Rifle Mk2 with a holographic sight, why? It grants auto aim to enemies while also turning it into a two round burst weapon when behind cover making it’s damage output even higher. I see no one use it without a scope and it’s shocking.
An other reason why people dont use explosive rounds on sniper is because its locked behind bunker research is real grind to get research done as well. Also assume large portion of GTA Online players dont even know this modification is a thing in the game so most often overlook it.
I'd also like to add the ap pistol. very effective when used in cars. I like to use it most when I'm in an armored kuruma, which makes it very easy to clear out an enemy npc-occupied area, and you can take almost no damage yourself because the windows are almost entirely bulletproof. tldr: armored kuruma+ap pistol=perfect drive-by combination.
The explosive rounds for the heavy sniper is an absolute life saver it's very effective against jets and the fact that it has 40 rounds I'd say it's fair because imagine how some players would abuse it if it had max ammo and besides the research takes a very long time depending on your luck I've had so many instances where a jet griefer would fly around killing people and I use explosive rounds on them, but I think the pump action shotgun needs a buff I remember it was a beast in gta 4 the lost and damned
Alot of people seem to not know this. in the mission at 0:50 and any other mission like the mc raid mission with that van, you can shoot the back of the van with vehicle mounted machine guns like on the ruiner or deluxo (it has to be a few seconds of constant fire) the van will stop and the driver will get out so you can shoot him. Or you could just use a micro smg, it does the same thing. I haven't tried any other vehicle with machine guns but I'd imagine they'd work. I haven't tried that method on any other vehicle either but maybe it would work. Also at 4:28 in this mission specifically, if you break up the race and follow the vehicle you need to collect, before he leaves the airport he'll run into something and you have enough time to pull the driver out
The reason why I doný use Explosive rounds on my Heavy Sniper is because then there isn't a good regular sniper anymore as all the alternatives are all bad. That's also why I love the fact that the Railgun is in GTA Online because that's basically a heavy sniper with explosive rounds.
Another major upside for the compact grenade launcher is that it is useable by low level players. It costs only 45k and each round is 250$ bought in 2 round batches for $500. Due to the ease of acquiring it can be a great tool for low level players for missions and self defense, being the first shot explosive the player can get their hands on that they can then use to blow up ai vehicles in missions or a player attacking you. I even find it handy for stash houses, one round down bottom left usually clears that side of the basement of hostiles. The next explosive option is the homing at like 150k and each rocket is 1500$ which is alot for each round. The mgl is unlocked at level 60 and the RPG at level 100.
I agree with this video but I'd add an additional special mention for the incendiary rounds on the heavy revolver. The heavy machinegun is decent but leaves one vulnerable... The speed that the revolver ignites certain enemies is especially useful. Heavily armored NPCs ragdoll with a shot or 2. It can also be devastating in an emergency when gliding with a parachute. It is really useful as a passenger in certain vehicles also. The M.O.C. cab being a good example...
Correction the Buffalo STX windows can withstand 15 standard rounds before being smashed. Also I think a underrated weapon in GTAV online is the Heavy Rifle and I don't see many people rocking it. It destroys NPC enemies and player enemies pretty quick.
Careful with the EMP, you can accidentally blow things up if you use it too much. Found that out the hard way. EDIT: To clarify now that this is Highlighted; I was specifically using the EMP Launcher to slow the Police Van for the Coke house raid out near the lake, I was just trying to slow it down and inadvertently blew it up for my MC President. To be clear, I blew up the van with the employees in it that you need to stop and take back by using the EMP launcher on it too much.
Up n Atomizer has definitely saved me on cargo runs. I have accidentaly backed over the cargo crate I just dropped and got hung up on it or trapped myself in a dead end and the Up n Atomizer saved the day. Those crates are anchored to the concrete after you drop them. Lol Its good for knocking down a fence when driving a motorcycle too. Its too bad we cant shoot it from a vehicle.
The flare gun is the best when dealing with multiple players all on mkII Oppressors. I had a guy wondering how I did that, it was funny, I was shooting my flare gun in the air while driving away in a car that would be destroyed at one blast. The EMP one lol shoot it well or the soda can of a thing you shot out will just bounce off. I have my stuff setup the same way, I should be using some of these more often. Next time I go on a mission where I notice the NPC's getting back up I'll be shooting them on fire. I do not ride around on a motorcycle so often as the NPC drivers will be knocking you off too often even.
I used the handheld grenade launcher in like my first week in GTA Online to kill one of those remote control tanks that some guy was driving around and griefing people with.
Almost no one uses compact grenade launcher, because almost no one uses bikes. And why would they? You're so unprotected on bikes. If a griefer has an armored car, they can already easily kill you. And why complete headhunter with that combo, if you have such variety of better options available like oppressor (mk2), deluxo, ruiner 2000 etc?
my problem with explosive rounds on the mk 2 heavy sniper is that sometimes when I'm 1v1 sniper battling another player I'd hit them, and they fly to where I can no longer see them, and it has resulted in missed kills or the person getting away from me
Up N atomizer on blow up 4 will allow you to rather easily solo it and make some good quick money. Hide behind the pile of wood to the right side of the building and use it to knock enemies out of cover behind different boxes in the parking lot and to knock the cars out of the way allowing any good range rifle to pop enemies where they can't hit you. Just be careful not to hit yourself with it and or blow up your cover
the heavy sniper mk2 pretty much kills the best weapon in the game in ground pvp. Sure it is a good counter against the jets and npc helicopters but that's pretty much it, npc helis can now be countered easily with the railgun now. I actually used the compact grenade launcher but the heavy weapon category started to get a little bit too crowded with 7 weapons so had to take it out, same with the compact emp launcher. I absolutely agree on the smg mk2 fmj rounds, it is a really good weapon to put the fmj rounds to
What would be great would be if we had a way to hot swap magazine types that we purchased, or at the VERY least if we could use other people's weapon work benches, especially when part of their MC or Organization. It makes no sense that we can use up an entire ammo type and be stuck with nothing until we're back on our own. If we're in an Organization we should be able ot use our boss' weapon workbench to at least resupply.
Fun fact If you Buy supplies for 50K it will be delivered by a Player playing in gta5 . It doesn't mean only players delivery. That's why it takes 20 minutes to get delivered after buying. If you don't believe me call dax and request job. And if you request vehicle from assistant it means it's assets recovery mission on secure serve . Just think about it
No honorable mention for the pump shotgun mk2 with explosive rounds? Come on man!😅 that thing shreds cars. It's like shooting the mk2 sniper with explosive rounds from the hip.😁
Its not even a one shot kill for 90 percent of the players. I rarely see people below lvl 100. Everyone above 100 survives at least 2 shots. Which really sucks. Rpg for the win
I already didn't care much for the explosive sniper because of the limited ammo, I got into way more fights where the extended clip was better suited. Occasionally I would be like "Damn, I wish I had E rounds right about now" but every time I switched to them I would just run out of ammo and be stuck without a heavy sniper at all. Now that the railgun is a thing I don't feel a need for the explosive sniper at all.
I always use explosive rounds to take out this one specific fully loaded limo spawn between some buildings since usually MK2 would break lock on the second shot meaning I'd have to get within AI aimbot insta delete range (because I like to use MK2 instead of the ruiner during fully loaded since I have spawns memorized) explosive sniper 2 shots the limos and I'm onto the next location
Be cool to see you do weekly updates reviews. Just a suggestion. Other ytubers got a fair amount of views for doing them. Quick 2-6 minute video. Keep up the good work
i find the up and atomizer works better if you stand in front or behind and shoot under or just in front of the vehicle it will lift up and roll back a bit if you hit from the side sometimes it can flip the vehicle over sideways then you will have to shoot it again
I think the reason most people don't have the explosive sniper is that you have to do all the research to get it. That's too much hard work for most players. I love it though, shooting jets is like skeet shooting.
the up an atomizer deff deserves its spot it saved my stuck mission vihivles on so manny accounts i cant even recall al of them and the conpact grenade launcher holds a special place in my heart took down my first MK 2 opressor with it :P
I think i have 3 loadouts One for business, a similar to this one One for batles, full explosive rounds ( i have no patience for pvp ) And one for fun , just random gun i like, things like the Tommy gun, doble barrel shotgun and revolvers
Explosivsniper is a must if u get a nightlookerhat in the jet he can see u spawning and spawn killing u with a jet and u cant do anything bcs u spawn and u have only 5 seconds to hit him
Something that you didn't mention that's worth talking about for the atomizer is that it's great for destroying fences that are in the way, also if there is an indestructible fence similar size around air port you can shoot the ground and propel yourself over the fence.
So damn true there
At least he talked about it in the gadgets video
I sometimes experience where my character weighs like 10trillion tons and don’t lift up just take damage
It's also great for dealing with Half-tracks, MOC cabs/trailers and flipping over Terrorbyes while on foot. It either flips them over and forces their occupants out of the trailer, or it exposes the cab/half-track weakpoints where the drivers can be shot out of them.
Nigga what the fuck are y’all talking about. Clearly didn’t watch the full video. It’s listed on number 3
I said this many times and i will say it again. Special ammo NEEDS a buff in carry capacity except for the explosive rounds. 220 rounds for ARs before having to resupply is way to small, it needs to be doubled at least
Yeah this is the main reason is still run normal bullets on most guns
and tracer rounds need to have the same capacity or run off the same reserves as normal ammo, it's just a colour change but i guess R* wants all the money
You're right
I agree, its been like what, 5-6 years and the capicity is still trash for them
Fr and explosive rounds on the shotgun needs more capacity

If you hate the explosive sniper you're probably one of the dirtbags it's meant to help counter
They’re also the same type of people that get into bad situations and say “Man I wish I had the explosive sniper right now”
In my opinion you don't need the explosive sniper anymore, bc the railgun can do almost the same but with a higher skill gap.
I don't even play GTA online and barely play v but your videos are nice and soothing. Helps me calm down to sleep
The compact rifle is also a good option when fighting in tight areas like the Submarine in the Kosatka prep for Cayo.
The Up-n-Atomizer is also just plain fun. You can knock stuff of of utility poles with it, and it's fun to just see what happens when you shoot stuff with it, or when you can knock a pedestrian off a tall ledge.

Massive APP fan I find the mini smg more useful, and it sounds better too
Congrats on 1mil man !!!!
Holy another proffesional on GTA again Pog have a good day!!
Professional*
The Seabreeze is definitely underrated, it can take down jets if your good in it
Feels good to have you back withs these classic type videos pro🤗
The explosive rounds for the heavy sniper is an absolute life saver it's very effective against jets and the fact that it has 40 rounds I'd say it's fair because imagine how some players would abuse it if it had max ammo and besides the research takes a very long time depending on your luck I've had so many instances where a jet griefer would fly around killing people and I use explosive rounds on them, but I think the pump action shotgun needs a buff I remember it was a beast in gta 4 the lost and damned
Alot of people seem to not know this. in the mission at 0:50 and any other mission like the mc raid mission with that van, you can shoot the back of the van with vehicle mounted machine guns like on the ruiner or deluxo (it has to be a few seconds of constant fire) the van will stop and the driver will get out so you can shoot him. Or you could just use a micro smg, it does the same thing. I haven't tried any other vehicle with machine guns but I'd imagine they'd work. I haven't tried that method on any other vehicle either but maybe it would work. Also at 4:28 in this mission specifically, if you break up the race and follow the vehicle you need to collect, before he leaves the airport he'll run into something and you have enough time to pull the driver out
The reason why I doný use Explosive rounds on my Heavy Sniper is because then there isn't a good regular sniper anymore as all the alternatives are all bad. That's also why I love the fact that the Railgun is in GTA Online because that's basically a heavy sniper with explosive rounds.
love the content, no matter if it's GTA, Red Dead, Call of Duty, or even Vlogs, We'll still be here. :D
Heavy MK2 underrated? It's literally known as one of the most overpowered things in the game haha..
7:42 hitting an oppressor with an atomizer is probably about the same as hitting one with a railgun
yeah, except the beam is slower (200 m/s opposed to the railgun's 750 m/s)
sorry for many edits i keep overlooking the stats at school
Another major upside for the compact grenade launcher is that it is useable by low level players. It costs only 45k and each round is 250$ bought in 2 round batches for $500.
Due to the ease of acquiring it can be a great tool for low level players for missions and self defense, being the first shot explosive the player can get their hands on that they can then use to blow up ai vehicles in missions or a player attacking you. I even find it handy for stash houses, one round down bottom left usually clears that side of the basement of hostiles.
The next explosive option is the homing at like 150k and each rocket is 1500$ which is alot for each round.
The mgl is unlocked at level 60 and the RPG at level 100.
I agree with this video but I'd add an additional special mention for the incendiary rounds on the heavy revolver. The heavy machinegun is decent but leaves one vulnerable...
The speed that the revolver ignites certain enemies is especially useful. Heavily armored NPCs ragdoll with a shot or 2. It can also be devastating in an emergency when gliding with a parachute. It is really useful as a passenger in certain vehicles also. The M.O.C. cab being a good example...
I like to put Incendiary rounds in the Heavy Revolver Mk 2. it's slow fire rate allows every shot to set things on fire.
FMJ on the revolver is better because it one shots the tail propeller of helicopter and two shots regular cars if you hit them directly in the engine.
@@xxprototypexx5056 1 shot in gastank with incindiary :)
Correction the Buffalo STX windows can withstand 15 standard rounds before being smashed. Also I think a underrated weapon in GTAV online is the Heavy Rifle and I don't see many people rocking it. It destroys NPC enemies and player enemies pretty quick.
Careful with the EMP, you can accidentally blow things up if you use it too much. Found that out the hard way.
EDIT: To clarify now that this is Highlighted; I was specifically using the EMP Launcher to slow the Police Van for the Coke house raid out near the lake, I was just trying to slow it down and inadvertently blew it up for my MC President. To be clear, I blew up the van with the employees in it that you need to stop and take back by using the EMP launcher on it too much.
15:16 you are correct before the sniper mk2 . Jets what are living nightmare .because you can't stop spawn killing you all the time
great video keep it up bro
Up n Atomizer has definitely saved me on cargo runs. I have accidentaly backed over the cargo crate I just dropped and got hung up on it or trapped myself in a dead end and the Up n Atomizer saved the day.
Those crates are anchored to the concrete after you drop them. Lol
Its good for knocking down a fence when driving a motorcycle too.
Its too bad we cant shoot it from a vehicle.
The flare gun is the best when dealing with multiple players all on mkII Oppressors.
I had a guy wondering how I did that, it was funny, I was shooting my flare gun in the air while driving away in a car that would be destroyed at one blast. The EMP one lol shoot it well or the soda can of a thing you shot out will just bounce off. I have my stuff setup the same way, I should be using some of these more often. Next time I go on a mission where I notice the NPC's getting back up I'll be shooting them on fire. I do not ride around on a motorcycle so often as the NPC drivers will be knocking you off too often even.
I used the handheld grenade launcher in like my first week in GTA Online to kill one of those remote control tanks that some guy was driving around and griefing people with.
Almost no one uses compact grenade launcher, because almost no one uses bikes. And why would they? You're so unprotected on bikes. If a griefer has an armored car, they can already easily kill you. And why complete headhunter with that combo, if you have such variety of better options available like oppressor (mk2), deluxo, ruiner 2000 etc?
I use the compact grenade launcher because when I die with it, I lose only 1 grenade instead of the 10 from the regular one.
@@xxprototypexx5056 you can instantly buy more from interaction menu anyways (right?).
True, but does anyone really want to constantly buy 10 grenades over and over? Especially if they are tight on cash?
@@xxprototypexx5056 In that case your solution would be smart. I admit, I have no idea how much they cost 😄.
@@callbettersaul refilling all 20 grenades costs 5k everytime,
my problem with explosive rounds on the mk 2 heavy sniper is that sometimes when I'm 1v1 sniper battling another player I'd hit them, and they fly to where I can no longer see them, and it has resulted in missed kills or the person getting away from me
Your number 1 is rated very high in the the community as well as others you mention.
Johnny would be so proud you used that grenade launcher...
Tbh I use the grenade launcher on bikes more than the stickies...
Up N atomizer on blow up 4 will allow you to rather easily solo it and make some good quick money. Hide behind the pile of wood to the right side of the building and use it to knock enemies out of cover behind different boxes in the parking lot and to knock the cars out of the way allowing any good range rifle to pop enemies where they can't hit you. Just be careful not to hit yourself with it and or blow up your cover
the heavy sniper mk2 pretty much kills the best weapon in the game in ground pvp. Sure it is a good counter against the jets and npc helicopters but that's pretty much it, npc helis can now be countered easily with the railgun now. I actually used the compact grenade launcher but the heavy weapon category started to get a little bit too crowded with 7 weapons so had to take it out, same with the compact emp launcher. I absolutely agree on the smg mk2 fmj rounds, it is a really good weapon to put the fmj rounds to
3:09 compact emp launcher actually will blow up a buffalo evx. Idk why I’ve just seen it multiple times at this point
my favorite is probably the carbine mk2
This video was very helpful. Thanks yo 🤘
What would be great would be if we had a way to hot swap magazine types that we purchased, or at the VERY least if we could use other people's weapon work benches, especially when part of their MC or Organization. It makes no sense that we can use up an entire ammo type and be stuck with nothing until we're back on our own. If we're in an Organization we should be able ot use our boss' weapon workbench to at least resupply.
He sits in that seat just like back in the day
18:55 well it wasn't Ruiner, because i checked that previous moment when you destroy this one guys vehicle and i saw that it's actually Toreador
I have always used the compact grenade launcher due to using it on bikes being really nice
Fun fact If you Buy supplies for 50K it will be delivered by a Player playing in gta5 . It doesn't mean only players delivery. That's why it takes 20 minutes to get delivered after buying. If you don't believe me call dax and request job. And if you request vehicle from assistant it means it's assets recovery mission on secure serve . Just think about it
No honorable mention for the pump shotgun mk2 with explosive rounds? Come on man!😅 that thing shreds cars. It's like shooting the mk2 sniper with explosive rounds from the hip.😁
Its not even a one shot kill for 90 percent of the players. I rarely see people below lvl 100. Everyone above 100 survives at least 2 shots. Which really sucks. Rpg for the win
Great list. The weapons that should be on the honorable mentions
AP Pistol
Heavy Revolver
Advanced Rifle
Assault Shotgun
Railgun
Those are generally used weapons by good players, they are not underrated imo. They are professional weapons.
I already didn't care much for the explosive sniper because of the limited ammo, I got into way more fights where the extended clip was better suited. Occasionally I would be like "Damn, I wish I had E rounds right about now" but every time I switched to them I would just run out of ammo and be stuck without a heavy sniper at all. Now that the railgun is a thing I don't feel a need for the explosive sniper at all.
Heavy revolver mk. II with incendiary rounds is also very good, it sets on fire with just 1 shot
Surprised you didn't mention the pump shotgun with explosive rounds as it's super OP on the ground for immediately taking out hostile NPC's.
I love the atomizer I was able to fight off 7 people last week with it aswell as when I do the piracy prevention on the yacht I use it
1:19 i use it on my assault rifle and on the revolver, but i have almost all special ammo on my rifles 🔥
I always use explosive rounds to take out this one specific fully loaded limo spawn between some buildings since usually MK2 would break lock on the second shot meaning I'd have to get within AI aimbot insta delete range (because I like to use MK2 instead of the ruiner during fully loaded since I have spawns memorized) explosive sniper 2 shots the limos and I'm onto the next location
Be cool to see you do weekly updates reviews. Just a suggestion. Other ytubers got a fair amount of views for doing them. Quick 2-6 minute video. Keep up the good work
i find the up and atomizer works better if you stand in front or behind and shoot under or just in front of the vehicle it will lift up and roll back a bit
if you hit from the side sometimes it can flip the vehicle over sideways then you will have to shoot it again
I think the reason most people don't have the explosive sniper is that you have to do all the research to get it. That's too much hard work for most players. I love it though, shooting jets is like skeet shooting.
Personally i like to use the EMP Launcher to steal enemy's helis, mainly when i get stuck somewhere (and i'm carrying cargo).
That shot with the sniper is crazy!!!!!!
18:40 it was a Toreador bc the Ruiner has it own map icon.
The best thing about the compact grenade launcher is that you only lose 1 ammo when you die instead of 10.
the up an atomizer deff deserves its spot it saved my stuck mission vihivles on so manny accounts i cant even recall al of them
and the conpact grenade launcher holds a special place in my heart took down my first MK 2 opressor with it :P
I think i have 3 loadouts
One for business, a similar to this one
One for batles, full explosive rounds ( i have no patience for pvp )
And one for fun , just random gun i like, things like the Tommy gun, doble barrel shotgun and revolvers
I used to ride around on a BMX and when a griefer tried to run me over I would surprise them with a compact grenade launcher
I remember once during the second Lost Contract for the Auto Shop, I got the Wedge wedged, but was able to get it unstuck thanks to the UnA
That can't be the finale because you're not allowed to use your own weapons. You can only use what they offer you and UnA isn't one of them.
@@minthouse6338 it was during the set-up
How come the railgun isn’t on the list?
Top 5 or 10 motorcycles that won't include the oppressor mark 1 and mark 2
Or the death bike
Explosivsniper is a must if u get a nightlookerhat in the jet he can see u spawning and spawn killing u with a jet and u cant do anything bcs u spawn and u have only 5 seconds to hit him
Also you can use compact emp launcher to steal enemy helicopters in missions
