Note: My friends and I have run tests with some of the weapons, and these are our thoughts. We haven’t tried everything yet.
The Sidekick:
-Sidekick is able to outgun a BR and Commando at range
-Sidekick is able to outgun an AR at medium to short range
-has little to no recoil, and high fire rate
Don’t judge this gun by it’s name, It’s your main weapon in this game.
The Battle Rifle:
-Slow fire rate makes this once prized weapon very clunky to use, and it is outgunned by most of not all weapons.
-Range doesn’t make a difference, as with a slow fire rate people are easily able to retreat.
What a fall from glory.
The Assault Rifle:
-High fire rate and low recoil are a plus, but it is still somehow outmatched by other weapons at close range.
-Has smart link, but is rarely used. You can hit the long range shots without zooming
Bread and butter gun, still beaten by the pistol
Pulse Carbine:
-Projectiles feel slow and tracking needs work, though it has decent damage
The Needler:
-Great tracking at short to medium range, and outguns the assault rifle and sidekick if you’re close enough.
The SPNKR:
-High area damage but low self damage allows you to fire relatively close to yourself with little risk and get the kill
-Splash damage isn’t always accurate and what should be 1 shot kills aren’t always 1 shot
The Commando:
-Better DMR in terms of fire rate, as it takes about 7-8 shots, however it is still outgunned by the sidekick.
-Outgunned by The AR and Sidekick at medium to long range which gives it little incentive to use.
Thoughts?
I don’t personally agree with the sidekick or BR or AR points I’ve found the BR to be pretty effective, the sidekick is good but generally I find the AR more reliable at closer range, in general I find the AR to be pretty reliable, it’s the best it’s ever been Imo and the Commando seems to melt people at mid ranges so long as you’re able to control it which is pretty difficult sometimes. With a head shot the commando can kill someone in 1 second, that’s faster than the AR, BR, or the sidekick as far as I know.
Agreed, Sidekick needs a nerf already. It’s annoying enough to turn a corner and people are just waiting with a sidekick to outplay you with just trigger spam. There’s no recoil on it, and its TTK is ridiculous. Makes it so there’s no point in using an AR

See, we control just fine, It’s just that the sidekick is literally the main of everyone. That kinda says a lot.
Overall most guns feel way too accurate at long range, especially when you aim down sights
-
AR needs a bigger hit zone when hip firing like past games - overall it feels pretty good though
-
Sidearm should do slightly more damage but reduce the fire rate. Its too good at everything at the moment
-
BR feels almost perfect. the scope should be slightly higher power
-
Commando feels good but it feels like it overshadows AR in close range, and better than br when rate of fire controlled
Grenades feel pretty good, but they are impossible to use at close range as they bounce so freaking far. you can throw them across map (distance-wise) on most maps without raising line of sight significantly.

To be fair I only played MP in the first technical preview so my opinion might change withThis flight. We’ll see, it does seem to kil fast but I’ve found it hard enough to control.
But I am noticing last couple of matches its being used a lot

Oh most definitely. I think the highest success is with MnK because recoil is much easier on PC but controller isn’t too much of a difference
