This is my list of guns that I think every ghosts should have. Players who are new to the game are recommended to view this guide.
Warning: Players have varying play styles. Some of the guns in this list might not be the best for you. Please don't hate the guide just because your favourite weapon is not in the list.
Introduction
I played this game for 78 Hours since release by the time I post this guide. Here's a screenshot of my Ghost with some stats and information on how I play the game:
Yes, I unlocked all the guns and weapon attachments in the game. From weapon chests and defeating Buchons. Guns from Ubistore are excluded.
I understand that every player's playstyle might differ, so some of the weapons in the list might not be the best for you. I can only advice you to try unlock all the attachments and experiment with the weapons.
However, this is a good starting guide for the players who are new to the game. There are A LOT of weapons. If you don't want to spend time unlocking every single weapon and attachments, this guide is for you.
Stealth
Prioritize Noice Reduction and Accuracy for Stealth Gameplay. The last thing you want when shooting an enemy is your shots to miss or being heard. Weapon attachments are up to you, but I recommend the one's in the screenshots.
9x19VSN (Sub-Machine Gun)
Where: Inca Camina Province
- High Accuracy. You can use this to snipe enemies within 150m.
- Very good dealing with group of enemies. Gun does not go out of control.
- The most silent SMG in the game.
Vector .45 ACP (Sub-Machine Gun)
Where: Media Luna Province
- The most silent SMG in the game.
- High Fire Rate.
- Best used to burst isolated enemies. Clip size is only 15 by default, so don't take on large groups.
- Best used medium - short range.
AUG A3 (Assault Rifle)
Where: Barvechos Province
- High Accuracy. You can use this instead of a sniper rifle if the target is too far away/you are not confident hitting your target.
- Effective at Medium - Long range. Do not use it nearby enemies or they gonna suspect from the noice of your gunshot.
ACR (Assault Rifle)
Where: Media Luna Province
- Alternative of AUG A3 Assault Rifle. (Use either this or AUG A3)
- The only difference from the AUG A3 is where you get it. (lol)
805 Bren A2 (Assault Rifle)
Where: Villa Verde Province
- Effective at Medium Range.
- The most silent Assaut Rifle in the game.
HTI (Sniper Rifle)
Where: Montuyoc Province
- High Damage, Accuracy, and Range. The best sniper rifle in the game for stealth and loud kills.
- One shot. One Kill.
- Minimmum Fire Rate. Your shots have to hit or you will likely to alert the enemies.
- Do not shoot nearby enemies (within 20M). They will hear the noice since there's not much noice reduction on this Sniper Rifle.
MSR (Sniper Rifle)
Where: Montuyoc Province
- Alternative of HTI Sniper Rifle. Easier to obtain.
- Slightly lower damage than HTI
Lady Killer (Pistol)
Where:Obtained by Defeating Antonio.
- Best used on sleeping enemies.
5.7 USG (Pistol)
Where: Ocoto Province
- Has slightly higher Handling and Accuracy than Lady Killer.
- Very good for extracting VIPs.
SPAS-12 (Shotgun)
Where: La Cruz Province
- High Damage. 1 Shot Short Range enemies.
- Reasonable clip size to take out bunched enemies.
- Most Silent Shotgun with high damage.
Loud
Prioritize Damage, Handling, and Fire Rate. Some of these guns are extremely good on specific missions.
P90 (Sub-Machine Gun)
Where: La Cruz Province
- Good Handling. Easy to control this gun on full-auto fire.
- Effective at Close - Medium Range.
Vector .45 ACP (Sub-Machine Gun)
Where: Media Luna
- You need the Extended Magazine Attachment to make this an effective weapon.
- High Fire Rate and Accuracy. Good for general loud fire fight.
Stoner LMG A1 (Light-Machine Gun)
Where: Pucara Province
- High Damage and Accuracy. Best on killing armored enemies
- DELETES ENEMY CHOPPERS (with VHC Destruction upgrade) [I can kill 3 choppers in 10 seconds with this gun]
- Overall the best LMG in game.
- Excellent in Rebel Radio Missions.
El Obsequio (Shotgun)
Where: Obtained by defeating El Pulpo.
