Battlebit Weapons Guide
Battlebit is a first person online shooter focused on all-out combined arms warfare and teamplay on large, open maps. With how its levels are designed, players should expect to fight at different ranges. Fights happen at long, medium, or close ranges, and Battlebit designs its guns to excel at specific ranges. Other times, it also comes down to the damage profile, accuracy, and recoil. Every player has a preference for how they want to play, and it all comes down to what gun fits their chosen playstyle. This guide will discuss each gun’s strengths and weaknesses and what their best use cases are. Note that this guide is made for guns without attachments, as they make small changes to weapon stats.
Assault Rifles
In this category, assault rifles are generalist weapons, decent at all ranges but specializing in none. They are the best weapons for beginners thanks to their ease of use and respectable engagement ranges. Against other weapon archetypes like DMRs, snipers, and LMGs, assault rifles have no apparent strengths or weaknesses against them. Despite their beginner friendliness, they can become potent weapons if placed in the hands of a knowledgeable player.

Carbines
Historically, carbines are essentially cut-down assault rifles and are comparable to SMGs. This means their range has been cut relatively short and thus better served in shorter-range engagements.
AS VAL
-Respectable damage per shot.
-Has an integrated suppressor that reduces muzzle flash, unable to place barrel attachments

-Like the AS VAL, it is an aggressive, run-and-gun-type weapon
Submachine Guns and PDWs
These weapons are CQC powerhouses that harshly fall off the further the target is. Thanks to their short frames and sizes, they provide a substantial movement speed boost for players. They are meant for players who want to attack or flank enemy positions while remaining mobile. If looking for fights is your playstyle, these weapons may be for you. These weapons are exclusive to the Medic and Engineer classes.

MP5
-Moderate damage profile.
-Highly stable recoil control.
-Slow reload duration.
-A high-performance SMG with good recoil control.
Light Support Weapons
LSWs are one of the weapon types available to the Support class. They function similarly to assault rifles in their performance but are more cumbersome to use. These weapons are generally best used behind pushing teammates, as they are a Support’s only aggressive option compared to the next weapon class.
L86A1
-Damage profile mirrors assault rifles like the AK74.
-Good recoil stability for its class.
-Prolonged ADS time and weapon handling.
-Good assault rifle alternative for Support players wanting to push objectives.
MG36
-Higher damage than the L86A1.
-Extremely low stability.
-Lowest rate of fire out of all Support weapons.
Light Machine Guns
LMGs are the primary weapons for the Support class. They are usually characterized by their high magazine capacities and are meant for holding positions or laying down suppressive fire. Due to their movement penalty and reload speed, they are not suited for big pushes and instead to lock down a position. These are best paired with the class’s ability to build fortification on the fly and create machine gun nests.
M249
-Same base damage as the M4A1.
-High recoil, needs a bipod to stabilize its kick.
-Highest magazine capacity in the game.
-A solid LMG for new Support players.
ULTIMAX100
-Deals more damage against light armor, less against infantry.
-Has the lowest recoil between both LMGs.
-Slower fire rate than the M249.
-This weapon does well against light vehicles, especially since the Support class doesn’t have any anti-vehicle options.
Designated Marksman Rifles
This weapon archetype is a Recon exclusive. These long-range weapons do best in large areas with little to no cover while staying in a defensible position. DMRs do less damage than sniper rifles, but they trade raw damage for ease of use and laying down fast, accurate fire. In cases where an enemy closes in on you, they can do well in a pinch but will often lose out to assault rifles or submachine guns.
MK20
-Good base damage per shot.
-Highest magazine capacity but low rate of fire.
-Decent recoil stats with best-in-class muzzle velocity.
-A baseline weapon for Recon players.
M110
-Best damage profile for all DMRs.
-Lowest magazine capacity and rate of fire.
-Very fast muzzle velocity.
-Great for counter-sniping without needing a sniper rifle.
MK-14 EBR
-Middle-of-the-road damage per shot, more similar to ARs.
-One of the few DMRs with a full auto-firing mode.
-Lowest recoil stat out of all DMRs.
-Best treated as a close to medium range assault rifle than as a precision weapon.
G3
-Lowest damage per shot of all DMRs.
-Also has full auto like the MK-14 EBR but fires significantly faster.
-Higher recoil kick than the MK-14.
-Functions more like an AR, best up close, but struggles against further targets.
SVD
-Similar to the MK-14 EBR in damage.
-Fastest rate of fire in the category, which requires tapping the trigger for full effect.
-Above average range and muzzle velocity.
-High skill DMR that rewards good players with a fast TTK if precise.
Sniper Rifles
These weapons are the classic choice for any Recon player worth their salt. They demand the utmost precision and patience, as every weapon has a set projectile speed. Not only that, sniper rifles require players to “zero in” on their target, meaning that at a specific distance, shots will go exactly where you aim your scope instead of arcing downwards. For specialized long range weapons, they have the obvious downside of being terrible close range weapons, so expect to use a pistol when enemies get close.
SSG 69
-Decent damage for regular body shots.
-Slowest rate of fire among all sniper rifles.
-Maximum zero distance is 500m.

-Does the most damage to heavy armor like tanks, but average on infantry.
-Slow ADS speed and reload speed.
-Maximum zero distance of 1200m.
-An average sniper rifle, but compared to the competition, it doesn’t stand out as much.
Pistols
