S-tier

Though they are in the S-tier, the weapons in this category are by no means the only good weapons in the game. They can easily outperform other weapons in their respective categories and don’t rely on skill factor as much as the rest.

M4A1, CI-19, and SG552 are all fantastic assault rifles with low recoil and enough stability to take fights well outside their effective range. CAR-15 closely follows as a great starting weapon. You’ll also find weapons like the SMG-45 for the Support class, which can fight at long ranges, and the AUG, which is hard-hitting with low recoil for a rifle exclusive to Engineers.

A-tier

Weapons in A-Tier follow closely with enough firepower to dominate the battlefield. They may not be as definitive for some, but they are potent in the right hands.

AKM is a powerful assault rifle, but it can be difficult to control. K437 is a solid alternative to the M4A1, offering higher damage but lower range, yet it is stable enough to compete with the M4A1. Similarly, QCQ171 is pushing to long-range gunfights like SMG-45, but with less base control and handling.

There are also weapons like the QBZ95-1, MP7, and G3, though their alternatives in the S-Tier can outmatch them.

B-tier

What the B-Tier lacks in overall use scenarios, it makes up for with specialized advantages compared to the guns in higher tiers.

The AKS-74 is a solid choice of assault rifle for players who love running and gunning and need that extra mobility, while Vector devastates anyone up close. Some weapons, like QJB 201 or Vityaz, may not be outstanding right out the gate, but you can perform well with them after tinkering around with their builds and getting used to their playstyles.

C-tier

The C-tier weapons lack damage, range, or other aspects, and I simply had no fun using them. A couple are still perfectly usable, though you’d be doing yourself a disservice by taking them over something else.

M16A4 comes with burst or single-fire modes – no full-auto, which immediately puts it below all the rest of the assault rifles in Delta Force. KC17 is a solid assault rifle available to the Support class that’s not too hard to control, but you can always go for the CAR-15 or just use a submachine gun.
