Stalcraft - Best Weapons for PvP

There are many types of weapons in Stalcraft. However, which ones are best suited for taking on other players? In this guide we give you the best weapons for PvP.

In Stalcraft you will constantly be attacked not only by AI-controlled bots, but also by other players who are a much bigger threat. In this guide you will learn about the best PvP weapons and read about the current metagame.

HK MP5

At the very beginning of the game, players will not have many opportunities to get the most powerful weapons. However, there is one weapon that can be acquired quite quickly, and that is the HK MP5. It is submachine gun, which is ideal for fighting at close and medium range. It has a fast reload, and it is also the weapon with the highest rate of fire in the game.

AS VAL

What makes this weapon one of the best for not only PvP but also PvE mode is that the AS VAL has much better armor penetration than other weapons. The only downside is that this assault rifle can be acquired only later in the game.

SVD

It is a weapon ideal for fighting at long ranges. SVD is a sniper rifle. It deals as much as 85 damage per hit. This means that two accurate shots can kill an opponent (if they do not have good armor), who may not even know where the shot was fired from. If you're betting on accuracy and high damage, it's worth stocking up on this one.

M4A1

One of the most standard assault rifles, yet very useful in many situations. The M4A1 offers solid damage and high rate of fire. It performs perfectly at short and medium ranges.

FN F2000

It is a fast-firing assault rifle, which offers solid damage. It is ideal for fighting at medium range. However, what distinguishes this weapon is modest recoil and very high accuracy. It is definitely worth reaching for it.

Weapons using 7.62 ammunition

For a long time in Stalcraft the finish line was weapons that use the 7.62 mm ammunition. Mainly because of the very high damage. For example, these are weapons such as the Mosin or HK G3. However, at this point, most of them are only available on Russian servers..

VAL vs. 7.62 meta

Among other things, the VAL has larger magazines than weapons that use 7.62 ammo, which is an extra plus. In addition, the rifle can also be upgraded, unlocking the Vintorez, another great sniper rifle. The downside, however, is that you have to spend a lot of time unlocking the upgraded magazine.

It's also worth mentioning that a patch rebalancing some weapons is expected to appear soon, so the meta may change completely. Nevertheless, for the moment weapons using 7.62 ammunition as well as the AS VAL rifle work great in the current meta and are worth using until this changes.
