What are some of the 'easiest' weapons you have used in Planetside 2? NS is up next, so weaponized toasters or... ya know... anyone else, let me know your thoughts!
NSO easiest weapons aren't that easy but here we go. ES stuff Lmg : xmg100 with compensator is really easy to use. The default nso 1x iron sight is good for its recoil pattern. Assault rifle : ar100. Really easy to control even without compensator or grip. If you have it i would switch it with the Maxwell with compensator ( nevermind i thought in pts it had it) as it's NSO best ar by good margin. Carbine : the cb100 . I think cami will be choosing the cbx75 so I'm coming out here and saying that the cb100 is very noob friendly with the grip. The grip tames the horizontal recoil on the cb100 making a laser beam . Smg : the pmg 3x is the only one that's good imo Scout rifle : BR200 . This gun is just too good and easy to kill people with. Sniper : sr100 because its extremely forgiving and doesn't have a slow ads penalty. You might also want to add just how good NSOs' Linecutter is a taking out engy+Max squads. Mako and barA70 have a slightly longer ADS (ads cof for bar 70) than normal rifles
NSO 143 Dmg guns are also the best with High velocity ammunition. Cami you should test out how far the 250 damage headshot range extends out on NSO. Even out to the furthest dummy on vr training gallery .
As someone who has put in a bunch of hours of NSO freelance... I'm not sure any NSO weapons are "easy" to use with how underpowered they are. The whole faction feels like hard mode. CB-100/XMG-100 are good starts but you are punished with the mag size and reload speed. That kills new players. CB-X75/BAR-A50 have good kill potential but require a good bit of recoil control and situation awareness beyond what I would expect from a really new player. And the SR-100 and BAR-200 are good but can mostly be replicated by other factions. The only 3 that might work in this context? The harbinger is a great pistol that can kill and help players adjust to meta revolver sidearms. The SR-L75 after some patches makes for an interesting scout/sniper rifle with 0.75x ADS movement to teach that snipers still need to move. And a wild card? Maybe the AR-101 with HV ammo. By having a 143 damage at 40m, this weapons still holds damage potential at range when many new players like to fire at everything. Not a good long term strategy but one that can help in warehouse fights that take place over 15m away.
If a new player is going for a sniper role, i'd suggest picking a phaseshift up. The simple fact that you have infinite ammo without an ammo printer and no bullet drop on damage profile of a bolt-action sniper rifle fully compensates for a slower bullet velocity.
@@nCmixam As someone who has already auraxed the starting VS sniper, I can tell you with certainty that it is most definitely not a semi. It is a good sniper though.
The Obelisk should really be in there. 0 cof in all movement states, cof and recoil that resets after each shot, 2HS kills at all ranges, no bullet drop, and HEAT. It's a great weapon to train on headshots and for long range marksmanship because it's so bloody consistent otherwise. The Zenith would be my carbine pick. Lowish recoil, tight hipfire, .75x ADS movement and access to UA. Also, the SVA would be my ez LMG of choice because of 0 recoil bias and again, UA.
I just made a new character, and I'm planning to buy Obelisk as my multiclass sniper rifle. I can't even use it with an infiltrator because it's not worse than any semi auto sniper rifle, except for the shorter scope.
Recently switched mains from NC to Spandex and I gotta say I'm appreciating these "easy weapons" guide Cami. I'm one of those players who invest my certs in guna because that's what I enjoy most about the game. I've been loving my Phaseshift and Nyx lately, but aiming well for the head is so much work and needs so much patience that sometimes you just want to stop thinking too much and just switch on autopilot. LOL
No reason in particular just that it was getting pretty stale. When Briggs was still up I used to play NC there. Then I stopped playing for a while and lost that account from my memory so when I made a new one, I played NC again but this time on Cobalt. But at some point since I started working, I realised that Emerald has the best pop count overall during the timeslot that I'm able to play. So I switched servers and thought, why not switch factions as well? So I've been playing my VS on Emerald since. I kept the NC on Cobalt tho.
The Pulsar C was the gun i had in mind from the first episode of the series. So easy to use and reliable, while at the same time boasting quite reasonable killing power too.
Good vid Cami! Also as a bonus side note, the Pulsar LSW is also the best LMG to do a burst build on. Second lowest vertical recoil and second lowest first shot recoil multiplier together makes it's the most burstable LMG in the Vanu arsenal.
When comparing the Pulsar LSW to the Orion, don't forget that the extra 80 muzzle velocity over the Orion is a real boon in most medium range engagements
Pulsar C is one of the best guns in the game. After thousands of hours and all of the directive weapons unlocked I still go back to Pulsar C for my light assault and engineer, if I could take it on a heavy I would
VS has far and away the easiest arsenal, every class has something that you can pick up and cause havoc with. from lashers, lashing ammo, unstable ammo, sniper/scout rifles with no drop and faction perks like no reloading and infinite ammo. for your LMG choice i'd have went with Unstable-Lasersight-Short Barrel Maw! its downright dirty the streaks that a 1kd guy like me can go on with that thing.
For some reason, this specific episode reminded me of an Australian-Adopted Assassin in a hat simulator video game: "THE BULLETS COME OUT OF THE SLIM END, MATE!"
Would definitely include the Phaseshift. Not every situation calls for bolt action, and not every situation calls for semi auto. Being able to swap between them depending on your situation is very valuable if you've chosen the path of the sniper
I think horizon is probably the most accurate weapon you can use when jumpjetting at ranges longer than a few meters. Especially true for drifter jets.
honestly nyx + laser sight+ unstable ammo is so fun but also so fucking good, you can go between 4 tapping normal infantry at ridiculous distances without bullet drop to out-adadadad heavies with the laser sight
Honestly you reccommended a lot of 1000 cert weapons and two of which supported the unstable ammo and im surprised you didnt suggest the MAW for the LMH for having that unstable ammo on it
A bit surprised by the absence of the Memeshift from this video... OS headshot except at very long ranges, no ammo economy because heat-based, no bullet drop, the only downside being velocity. It really makes sniping duels trivial because you don't have to figure out the drop, you just click on infil heads
@@DeyonOttervenBur Who cares about recoil when you can OS headshot your target ? Sure, you won't be able to take a quick follow-up shot if you miss, but that's the case with all bolt-actions
@@mathiasvernet763 Idk, bolt actions have better muzzle velocity and headshot kill potential at range, so I would prefer a bolt over memeshift. The damage fall-off also plays a role, so you can't be exactly "sniping" with it. Sure, you can be a marksman, but the range is really limited.
@@DeyonOttervenBur I mean, the damage falloff breakpoint for 2 headshots is at like what, 400 meters? While longest snipes are 200 meters maximum, because farther than that you can't really see the target even with 12x?
i'm no new player, but i find the VS carbine "Prominence" really reliable. it have a good rate of fire and DPS, good accuracy even without laser sight or forward grip witch make available it's best feature: the underbarrel grenade launcer
what graphics settings that makes everything look simple and easy to see enemies cause despite lack of graphics it makes shooting and aiming easier. Please tell me
I recently started to play and i think something is wrong when i compare yt videos ttk with my own ttk. I see you can kill in .5 secs while i need to Beam someone for 1 second hitting all the shots. Am i using wrong weapons or smth? Like whats wrong? I play on vanu
H O R I Z O N Ohh and Hell yeah The Pulsar has always been super good. I remember getting that Right before I quit. I just came back. Been 3 years. Literally just downloaded it now. God it's been awhile
New Players dont you dare not to worship the Holy Motherboard or CPU! Otherwise you will be cleansed:D Mh, I think the VE-A Lacerta is really good, when you still cant handle the gunplay well. Extremly accurate and with the unstable ammo also good in close combat and the Maw, also with unstable ammo in Close Combat. Its almost kinda a Minigun Punpgun^^
Haven't watched the video just yet, but I thought you would have pulled a funny, skipped VS and just did NSO before VS. I just saw white guns and chuckled a bit before realizing they were VS weapons
I want finaly aurax my Orion and never return back to it. Horizon needs specific mentality to use (That's why Horizon cult is a thing), I don't have Terminus, so i can't say anything. And Canis? This is point and click adventure.
Depends on server. Peak is also completely dead for most of the week on EU; game is finished. I wouldn't waste your time. Barely a single fight of 20+ people these days some nights.
Easiest weapon to use in the entire game is the Betel. Infinite ammo, good stats overall and its a versatile weapon. It can partially reload just by waiting to cool off without needing a full reload like any other weapon in the game. Its 4 times more used than any other directive weapon, and its player usage stats probe how stupid strong and easy it is to master. Making the effort to ignore it or just talk about a similar weapon... idk, is it to not make your vs audience mad? We are talking about easy to use, not easy to obtain. Also, no Lasher? Find a choke point and just spam. Other than that its an ok list. But come on... lasher and betel is all you need as Vanu.
My brother in christ, this video is dedicated to helping new players who are just getting into the game in expanding their armories. As if I’m going to recommend the DIRECTIVE weapon that requires 5,000+ kills. You are right, this is easy to use, not easy to obtain, but me recommending directive weapons literally achieves nothing for this series. Also… usage stats also indicates a lack of “as good options” in the arsenal. I knew you’d comment something like this, given your history in my comments, and all I can say is read the room of the series lol
Also, the only reason it has such a high usage is because it is one of the few directive weapons in the VS side of things that was usable for a very long time.
Lasher is a difficult gun to get kills with. It's especially difficult compared to the chaingun and Jokehammer, BUT it scales very well. a few lashers in a squad won't be racking up kills but can surpress an entrance very well. And a platoon of lashers can do some truly disgusting things to the enemy... but a well co-ordinated platoon of anything else will do that too.

Since the buff I think the CME is amazing, im surprised to not see it mentioned
My guy just dumped 20 rounds in VS MAX without hestitation
Mans was in the way, I ain’t perfect XD
You can take the man out of the NC but not the NC out of the man
I'm a VS main and I still do this. Lol
U gotta remember once an NC main, always an NC main lol
absolute NC chad i guess
If a new player is going for a sniper role, i'd suggest picking a phaseshift up. The simple fact that you have infinite ammo without an ammo printer and no bullet drop on damage profile of a bolt-action sniper rifle fully compensates for a slower bullet velocity.
Really bad weapon. Its better to learn sniping with starting bolt action. Its good enough for medium range headshotting
@@addmen96 But starting snipr rifle for VS is a semi.
@@nCmixam Nope. TR and VS starting snipers have been changed to bolt action counter part of Bolt driver a while back
@@addmen96 Exactly. Noobs die before they run out of ammo, so printing or infinite ammo is moot.
That and also the phase shift just sucks
@@nCmixam As someone who has already auraxed the starting VS sniper, I can tell you with certainty that it is most definitely not a semi. It is a good sniper though.

Basically if it has Unstable Ammo it is easy to use.
Yeah basically, any weapon with UA is easy to use

Disappointed by the lack of IGoRawr reference in the Pulsar C section
The game keeps giving me the Yumi as a weapon for the mission and I swear I'm starting to enjoy it through stockholm syndrome.
First one here and to type you: You're doing awesome for the game, helping fresh blood stay in. Keep it up!
Cheers mate, appreciate it.
When comparing the Pulsar LSW to the Orion, don't forget that the extra 80 muzzle velocity over the Orion is a real boon in most medium range engagements
1. Shotgun
2. Unstable ammo
3. Kobalt ANT
Pulsar C is one of the best guns in the game. After thousands of hours and all of the directive weapons unlocked I still go back to Pulsar C for my light assault and engineer, if I could take it on a heavy I would
Its a great pick, the Zenith feels a little better IMO, but pulsar c is always nice for how adaptable it is.

No Obelisk?! Sacrilege!
Might as well list all UA weapons...
nah UA obelisk is the easiest scout and insanely good. I thought canis and obelisk would be the top 2
Coming back after 7 years, a lot of things changed. thanks for vid
Did you make a review for AF-8 RailJack Sniper Railgun for NC?
Honestly you reccommended a lot of 1000 cert weapons and two of which supported the unstable ammo and im surprised you didnt suggest the MAW for the LMH for having that unstable ammo on it
MAW is my choice for most of the time. Kinda nobrainer, I am abuser of unstable ammo.
I love the MAW even without the Unstable Ammo.
@@elijahduce5323 yeah most of those styles of weapons are amazing to use super fun
Maw is my favorite VS weapon atm, that and the obelisk
@@berrigo2 The Obelisk gives me a boner just thinking about its awesomeness
As a new player, the Obelisk might just be my favorite thing in PS2.
Do you use unstable ammo or not
I am reaaaally locking forward to the NSO video

It really makes sniping duels trivial because you don't have to figure out the drop, you just click on infil heads

Thing I have learned:
I should pick up a LSW.
Cami has a medical kit problem. 0:56
nice video, what vertical fov do you use?
Love my TR MG-H1 watchman
Probably the best LMG for TR.
Proud 400th like, /sub. Great editing, great music, great content.
What happened to the nice dot kiwi pop tracker ? It hasn't been showing anything for a few days?
what graphics settings that makes everything look simple and easy to see enemies cause despite lack of graphics it makes shooting and aiming easier. Please tell me
Obelisk is on Top of this list + unlimited ammo!
ps. Not for CQC of course- unless farming from inside of spawn room
Obelisk + Infravision is the bane of any camper.

Man. They need to bring Esamir back for consoles.
Will we get one for NSO?
Refer to the pinned comment mate.
I don't find Pulsar LSW, only LUW.
Can we interpret the lack of sniper rifles in this video as "sniper rifles are all difficult"?
Good vid, waiting for NSO arsenal

Lacerta should've been in there
I love planetside
Being honest, i really thought the CME would be in here :D
This is the game i've been playing for over a decade. Unfortunately, after moving to africa. M stuck with 300+ ping
oh nice 11mins of telling me to be purple, well done video.
Easiest to use? Aside from horizon and canis there are no easy guns. Even pulsar requires certain pacing to be effective
Vanu smile upon me
Overall, VS guns are quite easy to use compared to their NC and TR equivalents.
Now do NSO
I want finaly aurax my Orion and never return back to it. Horizon needs specific mentality to use (That's why Horizon cult is a thing), I don't have Terminus, so i can't say anything. And Canis? This is point and click adventure.
Why never return? Its one of the best lmgs in the game!
@@dxhunter9170 Not for me.
Less than three
Is this game alive …in 2023? Im shocked.
more or less, depends on when you play but as long as you dont play in real off-hours you should get at least one decently populated map
Off-hours is almost completely dead. Peak time is populated.
Depends on server. Peak is also completely dead for most of the week on EU; game is finished. I wouldn't waste your time. Barely a single fight of 20+ people these days some nights.
Answere: All Vanu weapons are easy

HV45, Maw with UA, and the Sirius.
HV45 and Maw kick like crazy though, wouldn't call either of them "easy" to use.
