Diving into the 2025 Meta
What the Patches Are Shaking Up
That April 2025 update dropped 120+ attachments, tossed in the MCX, buffed the AK-12, and nerfed AEK below 800 RPM. T4-T6 ammo damage? Sliced 15-25%, making T4 the sweet spot for 90% of firefights. Fast-forward to the September 22 list from 19 experts: FAL, MPX, SJ16 rule the roost, with Mosin getting a nice buff. November's Season 3 ramps it up—Ace31 buffs, +3 weapons/6 items, T4 looking stronger than ever. T4 M80 (850.5 dmg/441 pen) tears through Lv5; T6 M61 (682.5/714 pen) one-shots T6. Stick to stock T4+ ammo for 60-70% of your budget. Eyes on those October 16 fixes and Season 3 previews, folks.
Tier Lists: Your Survival Edge
Why obsess over tiers? S-Tier guns deliver a 31% PvP survival boost through raw DPS, TTK, recoil control, and penetration. That budget MPX at 88k? It hangs with the 700k HK416 in CQC—no joke.

The Tier List Breakdown
S-Tier: The Kings
S-Tier owns it: FAL (630 RPM/124m, 31% survival), MPX (850 RPM/57m CQC), SJ16 (26 RPM/160m sniper), HK416, AK-12. They topped the September 22 list on pen and TTK. FAL runs 7.62x51mm, drops V-recoil from 92 to 58 premium. MPX? 9x19mm with 98% recoil control. SJ16's .338 AP T6 one-shots T6 armor. Gunsmith tip: Chase ergo >50, V-recoil <88.
A/B/C-Tier: Solid Picks
A-Tier shines with T951 (145k, 650 RPM), AK-74N (145-200k), P90. B-Tier: M4A1 (800 RPM), F2000. Budget kings like AK-74N under 100k—60-rd mag, Lv5 BP, 88 V-recoil. Progression path? AK-74N to 250k FAL/MPX, then 500k SJ16.
FAL: S-Tier Spotlight
Stats That Hit Hard
FAL: 630 RPM, 124m range, 7.62x51mm. Base V-recoil 92/H 85, elite 58/57, 34 ergo, 52 acc, 66 hip, 168m range, 8.05kg. Ammo meta: M80 T4 (850.5/441 pen, Lv5 shredder); M61 T6 (714 pen T6 one-shot). Delivers 31% survival boost, 820 m/s velocity.
Meta Loadouts That Win
Budget build (60-70k assembly/135k loadout): 30-rd mag, Cmf grip/receiver, Sp stock, rear sight, Ext handguard, TRIANGULAR grip, L barrel, Mk14 supp. Code: 3fOafNDUYLQszx4. Pair it with M45A1. Premium (380k): FAL Adptr+AR Ext+Carb.Int+Carbine stock, Lwt vert grip, B.V laser, ext barrel. Code: 3fOafNDUYLQszj4—elite drops to 245k with PZ3 Thermal. Gunsmith flow: Weapon > Assembly > Drag mods > Auto-buy > Right-click red conflicts. Recoil first (grips/muzzles); range test everything.
Attachment Priorities
RK-6 vert grip, DTK-1 comps, brakes lead the pack—ditch supp for budget. Insure those attachments, always.
(Quick editor note: I've wasted hours on uninsurable mods. Don't be me.)
MPX: A-Tier SMG, S-Tier Soul
CQC Domination
MPX: 850 RPM (14 bullets/sec), 57m effective, 9x19mm. 88k budget build rivals HK416 in close quarters. Ammo: 7N31 T4 (665.52/566.4 pen shreds Lv5); Dumdum T0 legs one-shot.

Where It Excels
Valley/Forbidden Zone—bipod and stock first. One question: Why run anything else at range?
Head-to-Head: Picking Winners
FAL vs MPX
FAL's 630 RPM/124m mid-long edges out with 31% survival—beats MPX's 850 RPM/57m CQC. FAL T6 (714 pen) one-shots T6; MPX T4 handles Lv5.
MPX vs SJ16
MPX mobility in CQC vs SJ16's 160m one-shots. Budget gap: 88k MPX crushes 500k SJ16 cost-wise.
Tier Snapshot
S-Tier: High-pen ARs/SMGs post-balances. FAL tops HK416 (laser recoil issues, 700k price tag).
Pitfalls Every Raider Hits—and Fixes
Modding Blunders
Optics/barrels before recoil? Rookie move. Skip meta without mastery. Fix: 70+ recoil via grips/muzzles, compatibility checks. Big mistake: Insuring ammo over attachments. Budget 60-70% for Lv3+ ammo; leg shots save pen.
Budget Traps
Under 100k works (AK-74N nails 35% Farm success). Never skip T4. Loot and reuse parts; light Medium bags, 2 hydrations/TMK/400 HP kits.
Real Raid Wins
Farming with FAL
PvP farm: FAL + M45A1, Lv5 armor/SH12, under 100k. Grain→Stables→Motel: 3 safes, 200-400k loot, 35% solo success rate.
MPX TV Station Clears
Budget MPX for CQC chaos—ext mags/supps, MP133 sidearm. 100k+/hr profits.
SJ16 Valley Snipes
SJ16 + bipod/T6 AP; hold positions for 160-190m one-shots.
Pro Tips from the Trenches
Range Testing Rituals
Gunsmith: Ergo >50 ADS, acc >37, hip 66; range for TTK/range. Map swaps—TV Station MPX, Farm FAL (4x T4), Valley SJ16. Peak evening sales; stealth flanks with 70-80k MP5.
Patch Predictions
November Season 3: Ace31 buffs, T4 rise; September maps upgraded. S-Tier nerfs? Watch close. (My gut: FAL stays king.)
