Ranking ALL 100+ Battlefield 4 Guns From Worst To Best!

Storyline

• This video is not a story-focused Battlefield 4 playthrough. It’s a subjective ranking of weapons, so there’s no continuous narrative plot being discussed.
• The only “story-related” mentions are brief references to which guns are unlocked via Battlefield 4’s campaign (e.g., weapons tied to missions/characters), but not the campaign plot itself.

Gameplay Focus & What’s Being Ranked

• The creator ranks all 103 Battlefield 4 guns from worst to best.
• Scope/constraints called out:
  • The weapon must be a primary or secondary that you can equip.
  • Not included: launchers, melee weapons, and ground-loot pickups.
  • The ranking is personal opinion from a “mid” skill level player.
  • The creator mentions getting dog tags for most guns (about 90%), but not all.

Tier List Structure

• 6 tiers: Awful → Bad → Average → Good → Amazing → Best

Key Themes & Gameplay Implications (Strategies/Tips Embedded)

• Fire rate vs. role mismatch

  • Several “bad” picks are criticized for having a low fire rate or recoil that doesn’t fit their weapon class (e.g., some DMR/sniper archetypes feeling underperforming).

• Consistency and range

  • Many low-tier weapons are blamed for being inconsistent at range, having weak body/limb damage, or failing to reliably finish targets.

• Aim requirements

  • Several sniper/DMR criticisms tie into Battlefield’s typical “headshot first” design: weapons that fail to one-shot body/limb become frustrating.

• Weapon handling realities

  • Some weapons only make sense on certain maps (e.g., LMGs/shotguns).
  • Some “aggressive/snappy” snipers require very accurate players to be worthwhile.

• Default optics matter

  • At least one mid-tier sniper is ranked down due to a bad default scope, resulting in poor early performance until better attachments are unlocked.

• Unlock effort affects perceived value

  • DLC weapons that are hard to unlock (or require time/event modes) are often ranked lower unless they’re clearly “worth it.”

Highlighted Weapon Evaluations (Examples Across Tiers)

Worst Tier Examples (Bottom of the List)

• Mar’s Leg (secondary) — “inconsistent, horrible at range,” not remotely like a real sniper (but “fun” to have).
• Phantom Bow — viability questioned; “compound bow” effectiveness compared to normal weapons is called out as poor.
• Shorty 12G (secondary) — pocket shotgun deemed the genuine worst due to extreme inconsistency.
• SR338 (primary DLC semi-auto sniper) — fire rate, recoil, and damage criticized; said to have no reason to use it.
• Scout Elite (primary bolt-action sniper) — praised for fast headshot kills, but body-shot finishing is said to be unreliable due to low base damage.
• QBU88 (marksman/DMR-ish) — described as the worst DMR; disliked for poor range and overall feel; bullpup style criticized.
• Various pistols (M1911, QSZ92/QSC92, P226, M9, SW40, etc.) — mostly flagged for low fire rate, recoil, small mags, boredom, or being forgettable.

Bad / Average Tier Trends (What “Holds Up Sometimes”)

• Starting LMGs and early weapons often criticized for being stuck in an awkward niche:
  • U100 MK5 (LMG) — “pointless/useless” due to low ammo and not competing with carbines/SMGs.
• Several pistols and DMRs described as functional but not competitive.
• Certain DLC guns treated more favorably if they’re solid without being meta:
  • G18 is praised as a top secondary due to full-auto forgiveness compared to semi-auto pistols.

Good / Amazing Tier Examples (Strong, Commonly Useful Guns)

• 870 MCS (pump shotgun) — described as the most consistent pump-action, with very fast handling.
• SVD12 (DMR) — called the best DMR by the creator (fun + low recoil + good fire rate/range).
• M60 E4 (LMG) — generally described as bad, but can work on specific maps (notably Operation Metro line-of-sight spray play).
• M240B (LMG) — repeatedly praised as the creator’s best LMG.

Shotgun top performers:

• Saiga 12K — highlighted as one of the best shotguns (nasty/strong).
• DBV12 (semi-auto shotgun) — claimed as the best shotgun in the game, strong damage/range with a normal-mag reload style.

Best Tier / “Meta Guns” at the Top

• AK971 (first place) — described as overpowered: huge damage/range, high fire rate, fast reload/handling; only a recoil control learning curve.
• Ace52 CQB (second) — best of the ACE guns; “no reason” to use other ACE variants over it.
• SRR61 (third among top) — best sniper rifle; huge range with strong handling, compared to the MW2 Intervention iconic style.
• MPX (fourth) — called the best SMG; requires the Chain Link mode unlock, noted as hard to find in 2026, so players may need help from squadmates.
• Bulldog (fifth) — called broken; very strong AR and easy DLC unlock.
• M98B (eighth) — slow sniper but excellent for range/long-distance play.
• AUG A3 (ninth) — praised for mid-range dominance.
• CZ 3A1 (10th/11th area) — praised as massively underrated and “broken” SMG.

“Key Takeaways” the Creator Implicitly Communicates

• Don’t judge weapons only by damage numbers—judge reliability in Battlefield conditions (range drop-off, recoil, rechamber speed, and body-shot lethality).
• Secondary selection can matter massively:
  • Full-auto pistols (like G18) are more forgiving than semi-autos for average accuracy.
• Unlock path and accessibility affect value:
  • Some “best” guns are only realistically obtainable if players can access niche modes or complete grind-heavy DLC unlocks.
• Shotguns and LMGs are map-dependent:
  • Shotguns need close-range consistency.
  • LMGs can shine mainly where long sightlines or sustained spray are effective.

Gamers / Sources Featured

• No other gamers or external sources are featured as named creators besides the video’s host/ranker:
  • Giggity (Mark) — the only credited person speaking in the subtitles.
• The subtitles also mention the creator “watched another YouTuber rank all the guns,” but that other YouTuber is not named.
