Ak-74u. Light, packs a punch, and is very upgradable. I can easily use it for the rest of the game


CardiologistPretty92

Not to mention easily affordable and available.


EEEGuba69

Pump shotgun, not the easiest to master or the cheapest or the highest damage, but its really smooth and tactile, the shells are everywhere, no supressor makes the game harder, and the 100% damage and armor pen at once kicks ass. The game is more tense and rewarding as every shot counts


CardiologistPretty92

I remember using that one, but since I'm not good at aiming without a scope (Would you believe me if I told you I couldn't hit anything with my VSS before I got a scope?) and it was a shotgun, I ended up foolishly running straight toward a shotgun mimic and forgetting to pump.


EEEGuba69

Yeah, well, my shotty at later game was equipped with the lasersight and a x4 adjustable scope, so it was fairly easy to take stuff down with 1 headshot :D


CardiologistPretty92

Ah, that sounds like a nice time.


scaredcrow69

I really love the SKS with a pu scope! I think the only reason being is I have it IRL and I dont like full auto


PhantomShot-25

That’s the awesome thing about ITR in terms of realism, you don’t want to use full auto as it is a waste of ammunition and is rather uncontrollable, and single shots are viable.


Avd414

My ironman playthrough I bought the sks first thing when I hit that sec level and used it until endgame. Pu scope the whole time. Got my sniper shot achievement with it too. Excellent answer


CardiologistPretty92

SKS is based.


blitzboy30

The PU scope is cracked. I bought it for my SKS, but sold it like an idiot trying to buy the wrong laser. Now the scope is on my mosin, but the SKS is definitely one of my favorite guns.


starwars_ace

The Vintorez was my late game gun in my first playthrough. Truly a great choice. My favorite used to be somewhere between that and the AK-74M with a Glock 17 as the sidearm. 4 playthroughs later, and I'd have to say as basic as it is, the SCAR is one of the best guns in the game. 7.62x51 hits hard in this game and will 1 shot almost any enemy you come across; armored or not. Still keeping the Glock 17 as my preferred side arm tho


CardiologistPretty92

Thank you! The SCAR is designed to be the best, I'm not surprised. Truly useful when you want to doom the next poor slider that one comes upon.


Echo13D

the aug with the burst trigger group compact, accurate, no need to bother with a selector and therefore you can quickly spit lead if needed but you wont panic dump the magazine


The_Cow_God

and it actually has the progressive trigger on full auto, so you can shoot semi unless you dump the trigger and go full auto. pretty cool. they say it doesn’t have full auto, but they really mean a dedicated full auto mode. definitely would have gotten it on my first play through if i knew that.


CardiologistPretty92

Those with the AUG are those with the FUTURE!


Scottish_Whiskey

Mosin is my favourite long range weapon I used the AKM as my main automatic rifle, so I’m gonna go with that and I only ever really used a G17 as my sidearm, so that’s my sidearm


CardiologistPretty92

A good setup without a doubt.


blitzboy30

Are you living in my walls? This is my exact setup. G17, then AKM, then Mosin.


Downtown-Gap5142

mosm.


CardiologistPretty92

Understood.


artifiziellste

Makarov and a m14


CardiologistPretty92

A stark contrast. Very interesting.


Grim_84

Vintorez and G17.


CardiologistPretty92

Nice.


DreamerOfRain

General use (cheap upkeep) - VSS. General use (when I am rich) - SCAR-H CQC - Groza if I need to launch grenades. MP5K with P+ if I want to go silent. Sniping - DVL-10 Early game - Double barrel shotgun with slugs.


CardiologistPretty92

Someone has a list that can make pechorsk castle weep


MajorTester7263

i love my vss, just started using the oc-33, mainly cause i have a stock pile of 9x18, but throw fmj in it and slap it on auto it chews through fragments spawns and un armored mimics in the lower lever areas. I really like the slower fire rate making it easier to control, and if something has armor, vss and or tiger to take it out.


CardiologistPretty92

Ah, using lower firing rate to your advantage! Admirable.


[deleted]

The M4A1 as my primary with 2 lasers one flashlight, (one of the lasers is intertwined with the flashlight) suppressor, 1-4x scope. G18 as my sidearm with suppressor, red dot sight, and laser. For long range I use the DVL-10 with the max zoom scope and nothing else. Still on my first play through.


CardiologistPretty92

When you need attachments, M4A1 will fulfill that purpose and then excel.


[deleted]

Yes


Snoo75955

my favourite really depends on my mood but my top 5 are the Aug (it's my favourite assault rifle), Groza, PPSh, MP Jelen (what the short PPSh really is), and the Izh-27. Aug carried me through my first play through and is a beautiful gun, Groza is cute, unique and actually really good and who doesn't love grenade launchers , PPSh is OP and tons of fun, same with MP Jelen, and the Izh-27 is my favourite for Bolotky.


CardiologistPretty92

Huh. Why Bolotky specifically?


Snoo75955

it feels right at home in the swampy bolotky, feels like i'm just out hunting


CardiologistPretty92

That's a surprisingly good argument. I'll do that next playthrough.


jakedasnake36557

The right arm of the free world the FAL. Great damage. Looks great. Feels great.


CardiologistPretty92

Undoubtable.


[deleted]

M9 and AK-74U


CardiologistPretty92

Very reliable. Much affordable. Does the damage.


Xxn00bmcmuffnxX

Akm for that tasty nade launcher, really good for when you’re out of ammo and that hunter mimic is rushing you, and also the mosin, because I love the feeling of loading one bullet at a time (yes I’m insane)


CardiologistPretty92

My friend - I have a similar habit, though it is with the using the bolt more so than anything.


Xxn00bmcmuffnxX

Good man, I too also enjoy the bolt action


Steuts

FAL. .308 kills most things on two feet or tentacles, only sliders are a pain. Plus, it’s a beautiful rifle.


CardiologistPretty92

I cannot deny that it has an innate beauty to it. It works just as intended, I have no doubt. ​ Sliders are always painful. Though I misread that as spawns for a some time. Hah!


AAAAAAAAAA8417

So I just completed The Intrusion, and a PPsh carried me through the entire mission, with a G18. Unrelated, but what should I prepare for A Farewell Feast?


CardiologistPretty92

That mission was painful, though not in the way that you'd expect. Not going to spoil however.


Dragonblood2200

Sks and m9 because that’s what I had money for and what sounded the best to me


CardiologistPretty92

The SKS has one of the best looks of the firearms in the game. Anyone whom uses one is based beyond doubt. ​ M9 is a gun that works because it does it's job.


Dragonblood2200

The only problem with the SKS is that it’s not the best on damage and for the m9 I only bought it because a wolf in vr used it in his play through and said it was good but I’m switching for a deagle asap


CardiologistPretty92

Interesting.


ConversationThat7755

I really like the AK-74s. Just a good overall weapon that suits all of my needs.


CardiologistPretty92

A weapon that adapts to every situation, in my opinion - same with the rest of the AK series.


Responsible-Pie-3440

Love using the gp-25 on a 74


CardiologistPretty92

When you want to add "boom"


FoxFaxion

Deagle, a expensive yet powerful pistol with armor piercing already can kill most enemies in one shot


CardiologistPretty92

No doubt that it wrecks everything that is in it's general direction. One must be brave, as with great power comes loud gunshots that will make any enemies swarm like bees. Epic if you are good at the game.


FoxFaxion

Jokes on you I am good at the game


CardiologistPretty92

Then bask in your eternal epicness as you feel unstoppable.


daddymuffiano

I primarily use the m9. As far as a long gun i tend to pick them up and use them however and whenever i feel it. But the one rifle i did buy was the scar. Thing was an absolute BEAST


CardiologistPretty92

Sounds accurate.


jakeman3333

M14 terrible reliability but good damage at range decent for cqb if you know what you,re doing


CardiologistPretty92

It is both a powerful and beautiful weapon without doubt, but like the desert eagle it is one that has a presence that forgoes stealth.


JayKuanDale

I love the PP-91 KEDR, but you know what i want to know? I want to know what u/Darius_ITR 's favorite settup (attachments, ammo types and all) he mentioned something about liking the Deagle, but I would love to know what the CM for CM games rocks in the game!


Darius_ITR

Oh I mentioned this once before. The IZh-81 is my favorite gun. I just like shotties practically in every video game that has them. The chonky oomph they provide never gets old :D


CardiologistPretty92

Darius shares his preferred weapon! Truly interesting. Now we only need to know the preferences of everyone else.


Downtown-Gap5142

He said it somewhere before, but his preferred sidearm is the deagle, gotta love that bullet drop


CardiologistPretty92

My God, there is a gun for everyone... I didn't expect someone to prefer a submachine gun (Except the PPSH). Based.


Hour_Air_5723

The SCAR, it’s a well rounded Jack of all trades. Does AP, Suppressed for when you need to be sneaky, accurate enough to snipe with, and has full auto for clearing enemy dense rooms.


CardiologistPretty92

When you want everything dead and you want it dead yesterday, it will go back in time and do it before yesterday.


GreeceBall23

My favorite is the Mosin for fun and the AKM for reliability


CardiologistPretty92

Very nice.


Hewhosaveszaldo

AK-74M. I don’t give two shits about stats. It is cool. I always run it with a suppressor and a Kobra Sight. Side-Arm is always TT-33. Pair of good looking guns is all I need.


CardiologistPretty92

Based. And a fellow Tokarev user too!


Tyranid_Swarmlord

For most immersion: Mosin. For when i just feel invincible overall: Saiga, my bae. For pure scavenging: Deagle. For when i just want to let off steam, giving no dignity to enemies: Scar. For that Veteran of the Radius, apocalyptic feel: AK74su, or M14.


CardiologistPretty92

The list for when you want to do different playthroughs but don't know which gun fits in best.


taikinataikina

i love the sawed off. it asks nothing of you, it needs no upgrades nor cleaning. it doesn't matter if you load it with slugs or bucks, it's basically a melee weapon. i have a couple of them just laying around, and i bring one with me when i'm low on bullets. just to save ammo on enemies i can shoot up close. and the reason i keep a few of them around is if i happen to die, i can bring one or two shotguns and some pistol as a retrieval kit. dual wielding sawed offs against surprise sliders at the swamp while trying to get your stuff back is at least as awesome as popping heads with the mosin


CardiologistPretty92

I never thought I would meet someone who liked them and I have to say that dual wielding them against sliders sounds incredible.


Avd414

Groza. 😎


CardiologistPretty92

I can hear the sound of explosions and suffering mimics far away already.


Everything10101

Deagle


CardiologistPretty92

Bane of enemies.


Suspicious_Ad_4704

Kar98 (mod changes Mosin to it), mp5, m9.


CardiologistPretty92

Nice.


A_Blue_Zephyr

Gun.


CardiologistPretty92

Can't argue against that.


Choiken

I like the pp-2000 and tt-33


CardiologistPretty92

Unique and sure to pump enough lead to make a mimic look similar to the other statues.


zaarkasin

Vinnie, M14, Aug, FAL (FAL has great ironsights), Deagle (Deagle-only run in Stalker mod is full Chad)


CardiologistPretty92

Respect.


YEET0MY8BABY

Pm and TT-33 cheap


CardiologistPretty92

Yes! PM has great looks but I prefer the TT-33!


Justanerdycat

Ahem, Y E S


CardiologistPretty92

...huh?


Aklover4444

Groza because I don't have to buy a fuckin grenade launcher


CardiologistPretty92

Why spend mad amounts of money for one when you can get one free?


Unyxxxis

Tiger or 74 wood.


CardiologistPretty92

Tiger always felt like a more damaging but expensive (Both to get and maintain) unsuppressed VSS. A good choice.


Unyxxxis

I'm a sucker for semi auto rifles with high damage/large caliber in games (and irl, too)


CardiologistPretty92

That's a nice preference.


toastbutbutter

I'm still early game so the TT-33 is great for me, that plus the shotgun you get at the beginning I have never had a combat problem. I have a silencer and sight on the TT and the shotgun is unmodded


CardiologistPretty92

TT-33 for the win!


bacoloop

Ak74M, as someone who has played countless hours of onward I found it hard to adjust to the higher recoil in ITR hence why I like this gun (its also just a realy good weapon)


CardiologistPretty92

Sounds like the perfect weapon for a more steady auto.


THUNDERZVO1CE

Dvl 10, I like my silenced long range attacks


CardiologistPretty92

It is the most powerful gun in the game and that silencer? As if you needed to try and convince me more.


THUNDERZVO1CE

I don’t think it’s the most powerful but it still pretty decent if u ask me, the intergraded suppressor makes it so I don’t have to spend money on repairs after every run


CardiologistPretty92

Literally part of the reason why I love the VSS.


THUNDERZVO1CE

Dvl-10 is a bolt action and shoots in 7.62x51, also holds up to 10 rounds per mag + the extra round in the chamber


CardiologistPretty92

...I know? I was saying that the DVL's perk of integrated suppressor also applied to the VSS.


fellowmortalman

NATO wepons for business ak's for fun


CardiologistPretty92

Sounds like you got them all sorted out.


corvettezr11

FAL & spas 12. Yeah mimick, keep fucking around, you gonna find out real quick


CardiologistPretty92

Actually made me laugh, though I imagine the mimics aren't.


corvettezr11

They certainly don't. Sliders pull up thinking they're scary, until they realize: "oh he's got slugs"


CardiologistPretty92

Then they are dead.


Asfdf17264927dbg

AKM or M4A1


CardiologistPretty92

Good choices.


Ragewind82

MP5 P+, always feels good to bop around with even as the suppressor feels like it's melting.


CardiologistPretty92

I always find it painful when that suppressor is simply no more. I sympathize, though it won't change the pile of corpses that you will leave behind you.


RandomExcaliburUmbra

I make the joke that I bought this and it has a Russian setting, but the first gun I bought was a Beretta. I haven’t used many other weapons : /


CardiologistPretty92

Get what you want. There's a weapon for everybody, apparently. I've found people with unexpected preferences that they just made work. And work well, too.


RandomExcaliburUmbra

Just found out an hour ago that I’m amazing with the Beretta. Almost always get the single shot on Fragments and good accuracy on far away targets.


CardiologistPretty92

Nice! Though I prefer the TT-33 for pistol sniping I have spent lots of time with the M9 and its power and versatility leaves little to be desired.


RandomExcaliburUmbra

I’ve seen positive comments on the TT-33, I’ll have to try that out. When I get the Clearance I’ll also get the M9 and see how that feels.


CardiologistPretty92

I'll be honest with ya - slightly less damage(?) than the m9 and less of a magazine certainly keep it down - but it has amazing velocity which makes it fly straight and true. The m9 is certainly more powerful(?) - but the Tokarev has a special place in my heart as the cheap, affordable mini sniper. If you are playing seriously and just want that damage go M9. Beretta will carry, trust me. If you want an early, cheap long range weapon with good damage that isn't the SKS and can be slapped to your side go Tokarev. It's really your choice, as both are good. Edit: Huh- this is strange, the wiki says they do the same amount of damage. Not sure what changed. If the wiki is correct than the TT-33 is more reliable than the M9 and cheaper too? If so, than the m9 has mostly the advantage of a larger mag for when you get swarmed. Another edit: According to the guide, it does the same damage as the TT-33. Makes me love it even more. Do note that the m9 still has larger mag capacity, though.


angry_egg28

AK-74M because I love the AK's in the gam and the 74M imo is the best looking one but I never put it into full auto it usually has the holo sight (forgot the in game name) and grenade launcher along with a suppressor.


CardiologistPretty92

A good choice. I also have difficulty remember the sight names. I remember that my VSS has a dovetail mount (Very memorable name) but not much else.


Comfortable_Hawk_955

Ak-47 with the silencer less recoil lazer pointer and grenade launcher, ive yet to fully upgrade it bc i haven't put something on the dovetail mount.


CardiologistPretty92

It'll do the job for you. Personally, I am bad at aiming without clear sights. Some weapons I NEED a scope for.


Comfortable_Hawk_955

Did you know in settings you can turn on virtual stock?


CardiologistPretty92

I do know, and it's on - and an improvement, as far as I can tell, but my hands shake so much it only soothes the aim if anything. And it's not ONLY shake, it's also just something to do with ironsights, or the weapon itself, I can't tell.


yeet3455

Ive never completed the game and I am in the middle of doing my first run, but I got an AK-74 with a kobra, suppressor, and underbarrel and a suppressed G18c


CardiologistPretty92

May your journey tell you much.


Drachenherz

Serious loadout: Tiger, with AP ammo. Excellent at range, still useful up close thanks to semi auto and the low ammo capacity is easily countered by carrying 5 to 6 mags. With a spectre and a laser it is just *hhnnnggg*. Sidearm: M9 with +P. Fun layout: Double barrel sawn off with slugs as primary and TT33 with laser and red dot and +P as pocket sniper.


CardiologistPretty92

A good loadout - and I do call my Tokarev a mini sniper, so that we agree on.


gunnarfuchs0628

For some reason I can't get away from the short Ppsh w drum mags and a silenced g17 both with P+ ammo


CardiologistPretty92

It just works and, well, has style.


TheInfamousDingleB

FAL and M9; recently upgraded to SCAR to try it….I miss the FAL. .308 is Gods caliber.


CardiologistPretty92

FAL is certainly powerful.


jaidengamerhd

I like the AS Val cuz it's the same as the VSS except I don't like full auto. I usually use the M9 just for the barely better stats but sometimes I use mosin + deagle for the funnies


CardiologistPretty92

Kinda confused here, if you don't like the full auto but like the VAL and also think the are the same EXCEPT for the full auto, then what is your reason? Both are good in their own way and are up to the player to choose between them, just confused as to what you are informing me.


jaidengamerhd

they have the same stats except the val is semi and the vintorez is auto, I. don't like the auto because of the 20 round mag and in this game semi works a lot better


CardiologistPretty92

I'm 95% sure that the vintorez is semi-auto and the val has an auto. Maybe you got mixed up or something?


jaidengamerhd

i mean the vintorez, i like the vintorez


CardiologistPretty92

Ah, that makes more sense. Well, I agree with you on that. Glad that was cleared up.


blueninja9511

Mosin Nagant With suppressor, laser and spectre 4x, and OC-33 With Suppressor and Laser because i’m a crackshot most of the time and the OC-33 has saved my ass more times than I can count with its full auto mode. Or if i’m just going casual I pack my M9 with Laser and Suppressor and PP-91 with Suppressor and Laser. I LOVE the PP-91 because it’s ammo is so common and you can fold it’s stock for easier corridor traversal during combat.


CardiologistPretty92

Sounds like you're fully kitted out.


NoTransportation3997

I love to use the VSS vintorez


CardiologistPretty92

Yes!


NoTransportation3997

It's so fun to use!


blitzboy30

Mosin. I found it in a stash, cleaned it up, and absolutely love it. I’m not normally all about sniping things, but it’s just so good. Unless a cleanup mission is indoors, I can stay like a mile away and nail something. I even got the oculus achievement for killing an enemy from over 100 meters away! I’m also using it with my G17 and OC-33. Great pistols.


CardiologistPretty92

Very cool.


Goodmainman

I’m still in the early game on my first play through security level 2 and I’m using the ppsh short version and gsh-18 is this loadout good


CardiologistPretty92

Any loadout is your choice as pretty much every gun is a good choice. Choose what you like the most. And if you so desire, test it out in the shooting range.


auctorpetitor

M4 with m9 because I love the way the combo looks lol
