The best 5 primary weapons to use in Rivals

1) Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle is unlocked by default and is ideal for players of all skill levels. It offers a balanced mix of damage, ammo capacity, recoil control, and mobility. This blend of stats makes it a highly versatile choice that performs well in almost any combat situation.

2) Minigun

The Minigun is pure lethality. With an extremely large magazine and an incredibly high fire rate, it can shred through opponents with ease. Although it does reduce your mobility, the ability to fire 200 rounds without reloading gives you the power to dominate the lobby.

3) Sniper

The Sniper is an extremely powerful weapon, capable of eliminating enemies with a single headshot. While it takes about three body shots to secure a kill, it shines on long-range maps where precision and positioning give you a major advantage.

4) Paintball Gun

This is a fun and surprisingly effective weapon. It behaves much like an SMG, delivering solid damage with a fast fire rate and excellent control. It’s best suited for close to medium-range engagements, where its speed and accuracy can shine.

5) Shotgun

The Shotgun is devastating in close-range encounters. Its effectiveness depends on the map and situation, but it's the perfect weapon for aggressive players who like to rush enemies.

The best 5 secondary weapons to use in Rivals

1) Uzi

The Uzi is one of the best secondary weapons in Rivals, thanks to its excellent fire rate and reliable control in close to medium-range combat. It pairs well with virtually any primary weapon, making it a solid all-rounder for most playstyles.

2) Energy Pistols

These pistols have an extremely fast fire rate and never run out of ammo. The downside is that the damage is relatively low, but the unlimited bullets combined with the high rate of fire make them stand out. They can even be used as a primary weapon on smaller maps for players who prefer fast-paced, aggressive gameplay.

3) Revolver

The Revolver is a powerful secondary with six bullets in its chamber. It’s a single-shot weapon that works best for medium to long range, but you can rapidly fire all six rounds, making it surprisingly effective at close range. However, due to the significant bullet spread, it’s most effective when enemies are very close.

4) Exogun

The Exogun offers decent damage output along with splash damage. Direct hits deal more damage, but even shots that land near enemies, on walls, or on the ground can inflict splash damage. This makes it especially useful in tight spaces and for hitting moving targets.

5) Spray

The Spray is another strong secondary option. It’s a burst-fire weapon that fires five bullets per burst and maintains impressive accuracy even when hip-fired. It’s best suited for players with sharp aim and good movement skills.
