The Best Guns in Zombies

[Tom852]

Hi everybody.

We have already seen some rankings, but they were based on guessings, based on impressions. What would happen, if you really measure, how much zombies any gun can kill in 30+ while running trains, until you're out of ammo? Would the measurement confirm our rankings, or would we discover some awesome guns that we didn't know about?

Well, of course, there are a lot of factors that lead to a wide error range:

Quality of your play while measuring, round, zombie life, armored zombies, how to measure wallguns with infinite ammo, and and and.

But I have tried it. I tried to handle those problems as good as I could. I believe, that the ranking got overall quite accurate. Interested? Follow the chart show on my youtube: Click

Episode 1: Ranks 35 - 28

Episode 2: Ranks 27 - 20

Episode 3: Ranks 19 - 15

Episode 4: Ranks 14 - 10

Episode 5: Ranks 9 - 5

Episode 6: Ranks 4 - 1

Just amazing Tom! :D

I'm surprised that the SMR didn't make it in this category as the lowest-ranked weapon. Even if you plan on doing headshots, the damage counter on that gun is ridiculous. I'd rather have a Pack-a-Punched water gun than take the SMR. I know that perks may contribute to the damage output as well.

Great job, friendo! :)

Very nicely done! I'm really looking forward to the remaining episodes.

And the SMR is quite a surprise, especially that is ranked over the mp5. I'm confident it will rear its ugly head in the next episode.

Has anyone tried the ray gun on die rise yet? I hated it on tranzit but is it any good there?

[TheBSZombie]

ehhhh.... the ray gun is always good if you can control it and kill your crawlers quick. but with the spawn rate being fast up in the 40s you can get over run and those 20 zombies that are all crawlers can be a pain.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Oh yeah that reminds me: Wtf is up with local mode? I played that and all of a sudden zombies start spawning in in the weirdest places with huge numbers and super high health... Wtf is is harder in local then it is online? Even in easy mode.. :?:

But yeah, my preferred weapons are the upgraded au-weapon I forget the name of located above the budda room, and the upgrade SVU... Lovez it!

Tom, that was amazing, now I really want to see the sequel videos.

I always knew that those weapons were bad... but now I know even better, since I know why. ^^

[Gaycandybacon]

Glad you're doing this. I've always wanted to know how much damage each gun does. Even the health of the zombies when it comes to rounds.

Keep up the great work.

The strategy and game play is the type of posts I miss the post, and most intersted it. The good old days of you and Superhands providing many great tips and pointers.

Excellent idea and analysis.

One thing I did not see you mention, the impact of Double Tap Root Beer 2 to many of the weapons.

I did a similar study months ago, and found many interesting facts on some of the so called "less prefered" weapons.

[Tom852]

That Double Tap II is a must have directly after Jug and that it makes Guns like RPG or M&S that do not profit by it just to intermediate guns is mentioned in the voice comment.
