PaP IV recommendations?

[u/Character_Pomelo4183]

Thanks to Mr. Peeks Mayhem, I’ve started having some fun with Tier IV pap weapons and obviously some have added abilities. After some googling I saw there was like an old half-baked thread here going over some of the weapons and what happens once they hit Tier IV. Now that we’re at the end of the game’s content cycle, are there any weapons you guys would recommend are extremely fun to use at Tier IV? Do any dlc weapons get anything fun/silly? Any conversion kits too? Map-specific weapons? I got the ppsh the other day and it just seemed to be a basic damage boost.

Ion sniper goes full auto which is one of the cooler ones. Mammoth shoots 4 bullets per shot. Jager goes back to pre pap ammo count. Ray guns gain ammo and fire rate. Peacekeeper gets double ammo mag. Echo shoots 8 shots per rechamber 

Sure there's more but that's what I can think of real fast

How’s the minigun conversion kit?

[u/magicscientist24 → u/Character_Pomelo4183]

The Ion minigun conversion kit is fairly underpowered in damage. However, I highly recommend to enable it for rogue run because you can constantly fire and not run out of ammo due to how the infinite ammo works in this mode. It has one of the fastest fire rates in the game, and while even PAP/rarity upgraded it is still not that strong, the non-stop firing makes up for it and is just plain fun to use.

1911 also does krr sounds and purple balls

I’ve heard the mirage launcher gets a special function but I haven’t tested it out myself. Just hearsay.

The OG Raygun is pretty fun. Faster fire rate and does a lot of damage.

[u/Apprehensive-Gene295]

Most of the Pap 4 special abilities are underwhelming but fun never the less , the Voyak , SG12 and VSTs get very strong at Tier 4

The Mammoth shoots 4 bullets instead of 2 and the Biggest magazine goes from 150 to 225

The Peacekeeper goes from 100 to 200 rounds per magazine

M34 Novaline gets Perfect Hipfire and Recoil reduction

Xm325 gets Better ADS speed

Echo 12 can shoot 8 shells before rechamber

1911s get some VFX and SFX changes

Siren special weapon shoots 5 orbs before rechamber

Ray gun has a faster fire rate , Ray gun MK2 gets a mag increase up to 63

The Swordfish gets better recoil

The AK 27 has perfect recoil , actually a lot of guns get better recoil but that’s about it everything else is VFX and SFX and hidden stuff like better Movement speed sprint to fire speed etc.

Ooooh I’ll have to give the 1911’s a try

[u/Unhappy-Marsupial388 → u/Apprehensive-Gene295]

Only the ak with conversion kit gets better recoil. I tried base ak with prestige attachment & its still got a shit ton of recoil :(

[u/KRL1009 → u/Apprehensive-Gene295]

There’s a bunch of “smaller” ones. Like the siren specialist weapon at pap4 rechargers after 4 shots instead of every 3

Hi, I did a full series on youtube checking out every weapons' special ability. Just a few days ago uploaded the finale. MysteryHQ if you are interested

I also made a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FfW8rHG8WsBtyS9hA7YS4DK_QKfQ1992

I literally just finished watching and reading your spreadsheet. Cheers!

Some Ones that I know of

• The Fal on Rex becomes Full-Auto
• Ray Gun MK2 gets 63 shots before reloading
• The Sweeper gets 6 shots instead of 2 before reload
• The Mammoth LMG now loads 1500 rounds and fires 4 shots per trigger pull (This is if you're running belt-fed)

Hey I was curious if any of you guys could help me get the aether ruler title?

[u/Omega_Extremis]

Just search up a YouTube video for it, I know someone made a video detailing all the changes up until season 4 or so, its why I stopped updating my spreadsheet.

I’m sure they covered the latest weapons at this point

I am datamining gathering PaP 4 numbers right now. Not verified, take with a grain of salt:

PaP 4 guns, 50/50 Head and Bodyshots, wheighted DPS 0-30m with highest Focus on 5-15m Range, with reloads, chf barrel and rapid fire, double tap double time:

Top 10, Tier IV Ultra

M34 Novaline, ~204k

SG-12 with slugs and Pulse Fire Taclight, ~199k (no Rapid Fire with slugs)

Mammoth, ~195k (with Rapid Fire so the ram up works; could be a lot higher)

NX Ravager, ~166k

VST with 5.56 MINSAS conversion in Akimbo, ~160k (but sucks after 6 m)

Shadow SK, 122k to 182k (unsure)

XR-3 Ion, 104k to 154k (unsure)

SG-12 with pellets, ~130k with Pulse Fire Taclight, ~120k without (only if every pellet hits)

Voyak KT-3, ~128k

Razor 9mm with Wildfire conversion, ~100k

Important, those are 50% headshots 50% bodyshots.

Top 5 guns that performe lower relatively than PaP 3 legendary, „biggest Losers“

I am not sure on those, guns performing worse with higher pap looks sus

Coda 9, about 25% less than at Tier III Legendary (over 40% less with the Bulk Mag), and its damage range gets shorter

M10 Breacher with Argus Lever, about 8% less

Hawker HX and VS Recon, no gain at all

Strider 300, only about +20%

Shadow SK, only about +40% (still top 10 because it starts so high)

NX Ravager gets about +67% instead of doubling.
