Today’s article is about the DayZ weapon tier list, which features a ranking of some of the absolute best and worst guns in the entire game. The article is purely subjective and is open to positive criticism, and the rankings are based on how much a specific item is useful for a specific situation. There are too many weapons in the game and it is really exhausting to give time to study each and every one in detail, so we will go over them all briefly.
In DayZ Standalone, weapons are one of the four basic kinds of treasure that may be found. In addition, ammunition, attachments, and magazines designed for use with firearms or other types of ranged weapons are considered to be part of the category of weapons. The vast majority of guns are also accurate recreations of their real-world equivalents and function in the same manner.

In DayZ Standalone, there is a sawed-off bolt-action rifle called the Mosin 91/30. The 7.62x54mmR-chambered Sawed-off Mosin 91/30 is made using a Mosin 91/30 and a hacksaw. By having a significant section of the barrel and grip removed, the variant, as its name suggests, is significantly shorter than the original Mosin 91/30.
As a result, the rifle has a much lower profile and may be carried on the back or packed inside backpacks and other disk drives with at least four slots. However, that comes at the expense of a decreased effective range and a significantly increased recoil.
| Range | Medium |
| Rate of Fire | Low |

BK-18
The BK 18, sometimes called the Izh 18, shoots 7.62×39 bullets. The BK 18 Rifle doesn’t support a lot of attachments, but considering the harm its ammo can cause and how well it can shoot at a distance, it shouldn’t be disregarded.

The Bizon is probably a more versatile gun than the CR-61 because of its big magazine and diversity of attachments, but the Skorpion still outperforms it at close range due to its faster fire rate. If the survivor intends to use this weapon, it is advised that they carry a Gun Cleaning Kit, as firing the whole magazine would often cause the Bizon to degrade to the following damage level.

Kolt 1911
The Kolt 1911 is a.45 ACP pistol with excellent sights, precision, recoil, and damage. Despite having a smaller-than-average 7-round magazine capacity, it outperforms most handguns in stopping power and gunshot noise when suppressed. The subsonic 260m/s muzzle velocity of the.45 ACP cartridge makes it ideal for use with a suppressor.
As it eliminates suppressor pop and reduces noise at a distance, it increases your stealth in larger cities and high-traffic areas filled with infected and other survivors.

C Tier
C Tier.The C rank of our Dayz tier list is where we start to get into the weapons that are perhaps not the best in combat. You should only pick these up if you are really skilled in firefights, or if you have no other options.
P1
The P1 is a semi-automatic pistol with a 9x19mm chamber and an 8-round, one-stack, single-row magazine. Since its 8Rnd, P1 Magazines is slightly more prevalent than the 15Rnd CR-75 Mag, it is considerably simpler to get a functional firearm.

| Rate of Fire | Very Low |
IJ-70
Based on the Soviet PMM handgun, the IJ-70 is a tiny, compact, lightweight double-stacked magazine variation. The IJ-70 is chambered in.380 ACP and fed with a 12-round detachable magazine; it is often viewed as an early-game or “tier 1” weapon. Due to its.380 ACP caliber and 21-damage stopping strength, the IJ-70 has a fairly short range and weak stopping force.
Although a headshot would often kill an infected, it may take many body shots to bring them down. The IJ-70’s usage of the less potent cartridge has the advantage of less recoil, allowing for rapid follow-up rounds at a maximum rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute. The installation of a Pistol Silencer or Plastic Bottle Silencer renders the IJ-70 nearly inaudible at distances over 100 meters.
| Range | Low |
| Rate of Fire | Medium |
MK II
The MK II is one of the game’s weakest pistols, while the.22 LR is the game’s weakest cartridge, requiring multiple body shots to kill an infected. As.22 LR bullets are too weak to kill an animal in a decent length of time, it is also not suggested to hunt with them. With a 10-round magazine and the game’s weakest cartridge, the MK II is among the worst handguns for PVP, making it difficult to use successfully. The sole advantage is that each shot has a high probability of applying the bleed effect.
| Range | Low |

Verdict
This was our DayZ weapon tier list for 2022, and we worked hard to place all the weapons in their appropriate ranks. Hopefully, it helped you discover what the best gun in Dayz is. However, these placements may or may not correspond with your tastes, and that’s fine since everyone plays games in their way, and what I find appealing may not necessarily appeal to you.
However, we tried to construct a list representing the current meta and reflecting our individual playstyles. I believe the majority of readers will approve of our selections. However, if you disagree, you are free to voice your opinion in the comments section below.
