The player’s skill in Enlisted determines the outcome of a game match. But no less important is the weapon used. For example, carbines are better at close and medium range, and some support installing an extended reticle. Light machine guns have a better heap, which allows you to conduct unaimed fire on large groups of enemies. All these nuances should be taken into account before preparing for battle.
We have compiled a rating of the best 5 weapons in Enlisted in 2024. It is compiled based on the opinion of ordinary players, cybersportsmen. The rating of users, their total percentage of hits and damage caused are taken into account.
M2 Carbine
In fifth place is the M2 automatic carbine, a modernized version of the M1. It uses similar ammunition, but only automatic and semi-automatic firing modes are provided. Each magazine holds 30 rounds, and the total ammunition capacity is 120.
It is best suited for assaulting enemy positions and covering attacking assault rifles. When the magazine changes, the sight is reset, but the enemy remains in sight. The M2 carbine is considered one of the most reliable weapons in the game. The probability of jamming is low. But the damage is minor. Sometimes, even two accurate shots to the head will not be enough to hit the enemy if the distance is more than 150 meters.
Pros:
- moderate recoil, the sight only recoils vertically upward;
- it is possible to install a bayonet knife for close combat;
- high accuracy, deviation from the set trajectory does not exceed 0.4, as in rifles with single-shot mode.
Cons:
- below average damage, strongly inferior to the FG 42;
- only a few modifications of sights with a simple reticle.
M2 Carabine is an offensive weapon. The rate of fire is low, so 1 magazine is enough for 5-6 bursts. When upgraded, it increases killing power by 10%, while recoil is reduced by 15%.
AVT 40
Fourth place goes to the Soviet-made AVT 40 semi-automatic rifle. Its rate of fire is up to 570 rounds per minute. However, using a single-firing mode replaces a sniper rifle at a distance to the target of 150-200 meters. The main disadvantage is a solid vertical recoil; after each shot, you must re-target. The magazine holds 15 rounds, so it is ineffective in automatic mode. The magazine capacity is 2 magazines. Improvement increases killing power by 20% and reduces recoil by 15%. You can take 3 or 4 magazines simultaneously with silver and gold ranks.
Pros:
- low horizontal recoil;
- high damage;
- comfortable sight, allows you to shoot at the level of a sniper rifle;
- can be fitted with a bayonet knife;
- low price.
Cons:
- 15-round magazine;
- only 2 magazines can be carried without the upgrade.
AVT 40 is best used only in semi-automatic mode. The aiming range is over 300 meters, so there is no need to take ballistics into account in combat, the bullet always flies without deviation. The possible spread is only 0.4, which is below the average in the game. But there is a large gap between shots in semi-automatic mode.
StG-44
Third place is the StG-44, a German assault rifle produced to compete with the Soviet Kalashnikov assault rifle. The aiming range is 600 meters, but the effective range is only 300. Bullet movement is further influenced by ballistics and wind direction. The magazine holds 30 rounds. Installing a drum magazine for 120 rounds is possible in real life, but this is impossible in the game.
There is a mode switch to use the weapon for automatic and semi-automatic fire. The maximum ammunition supply is 3 magazines. It has good killing power but a too-large horizontal spread when firing. It is most effective at up to 300 meters from the enemy.
Pros:
- does a lot of damage;
- range up to 600 meters;
- fast reloading without resetting the sight;
- can be fitted with a bayonet knife.
Cons:
- heavy recoil;
- uses 7.92×33 ammunition, which is more difficult to find in Enlisted than others.
The assault rifle is more suitable for fighting at short distances. Its main advantage is high damage; one accurate shot to the head is enough to kill any enemy.
The main disadvantage is a strong scatter in automatic firing mode. Already after 4-5 rounds the sight shifts a whole position to the side. That is why the StG-44 is ineffective during massive enemy attacks, when you have to defend both front and rear at once.
Fedorov Avtomat
In second place is the Fedorov Avtomat. According to many players, this is the best small arm for stormtroopers. It has a low rate of fire, which is compensated by massive damage at any distance up to 600 meters—magazine for 25 rounds. With increased accuracy, there is an opportunity to install modernized sights. It opens when reaching level 32 when playing for German troops and level 38 – for the Allies. There are 3 levels of upgrades.
Pros:
- accuracy;
- enormous damage compared to other assault rifles;
- fast reloading without dropping the target.
Cons:
- low rate of fire;
- 25-round magazine;
- slow switching from automatic to semi-automatic mode with target reset;
- upgrades at the third level do not improve performance.
The assault rifle is available only to assault riflemen. Damage is increased by 15%, recoil is reduced by 20%, and rate of fire is unchanged. Maximum ammo is 3 magazines. Only 1 sighting option is provided. You can not install bayonet knife, so it is not suitable for close combat with the enemy. It is recommended to upgrade only up to level 2, as the next level gives only a slight improvement.
FG 42 II
The FG 42 II deservedly takes the first place. The damage is average, but the main feature of the rifle is very low recoil and high rate of fire. It allows you to conduct a heap of automatic fire through which no enemy can pass. A sniper version is unlocked when playing for the Normandy Allies. The magazine for 20 rounds is the main disadvantage of the automatic rifle. At the same time, reloading takes more than 2 seconds. And if you fire a lot of enemies at once, the magazine will be empty instantly, and you can take only 2 of them with you.
Pros:
- 12 damage at distances up to 200 meters, 6 damage after that;
- one of the lowest vertical recoil among all small arms in the game;
- there is a sniper version, but it fires only in automatic mode in bursts;
- can be used in any class, including engineers and medics;
- the weapon is effective against armored enemy vehicles.
Cons:
- player’s maximum ammo capacity is only 40 rounds, 2 magazines;
- slow reloading: 2.6 seconds; at the same time the sight is reset, the player becomes vulnerable to any attacks and cannot entirely hide behind cover;
- most effective at distances of up to 200 meters.
In combat, to cope with an enemy with the FG 42 II is a minimum of chances. This is compensated for by a small ammunition supply of 40 rounds, which ends in only 3-5 bursts, as well as slow reloading. It is impossible to install a sniper sight on your own, this weapon modification is available only in a few missions.
FG 42 II can be used to attack even enemy armored vehicles. 2-3 accurate shots are enough to turn off the chassis of an infantry vehicle. Another peculiarity is that when firing from the hip or lying down, the accuracy increases almost 2 times. Therefore, it is recommended that single shots be fired only in this position. You should never forget the limited ammunition because the magazine lasts only 4 seconds of firing in automatic mode.
According to the players, FG 42 II is the best weapon in the game, but the Fedorov assault rifle is more suitable for assault. The StG-44 is the best alternative to the Kalashnikov assault rifle in the game. M2 is a rifle with low recoil and support for single-shot mode, which is better suited for aiming fire from cover.
There is no universal weapon in Enlisted, each weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages. All these nuances should be taken into account when choosing and make your arsenal for the mission, taking into account the tasks that are set before the player.
