CQBR + Infinite Ammo = Highest damage output outside of Rocket Launcher. If evennhalf the shots hit a weak point, that thing can absolutely delete any enemy

The cqb is insanely good. The only negative is that it’s easy to drain the ammo. You should definitely single fire it

The AR is crazy, it's the highest dps weapons in the game. But it really only shines with cat ears other wise you'll never have ammo for it lol it was definitely the biggest surprise when it came to brand new weapons

The CQBR is great when it comes to damage output at a fast rate of fire. The draw back is that it uses Rifle Ammo, a resource that most of the time you’ll be crafting for yourself as it doesn’t always drop as an item from enemies. Though in my opinion it is more forgiving for people who can’t really hit their shots.

I always went with the Stingray. But lately I've been trying to use the bolt action. One advantage not mentioned is how little space it takes up. The Stingray takes up a ton of storage space in comparison.

I think the biggest reason I always choose the stingray over the bolt is speed. Most enemies will die with a single shot so you will kill much faster, assuming your aim is good. Also not zooming out for bolt is good to kill enemies in quick succession without adjusting aim. Boss fights where each bullet counts bolt is king where as the majority of the game with swarms of enemies stingray will clear a room in seconds. AR is good with cat ears but it eats bullets so it’s not a viable weapon for your first couple of runs. For me Sting < Bolt < AR With cat ears Sting < AR < Bolt. All good guns overall but DPS is always key for me so Stingray wins imo.

I wish you could fire the CQBR with the normal crosshair like every other gun, don’t like the idea of a scope on a automatic and iron sights just don’t feel to good in this game lol

Been waiting for this, I love the Stingray in both the original and remake so I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on it 😁

youre forgetting a major limiting factor in this game, which is that rifle ammo is expensive to make and hard to come by

The iron sights is good for close quarter combat though, especially the cabin or the rock throwing gigante section lol. You can aim for their heads without overzooming and wasting time to adjust while the ganado slaps your nuts.

Thank you, this is helpful

Cbqr ends up being stronger than stingray and faster as well so stingray is just inferior unless you’re really bad and just go full auto with it all the time. The only time you go full auto is on bosses with a big weak spot you can constantly hit. Regardless starter rifle is best per ammo and space efficiency and I will always go with it.

For me, from the knives to the rifles. It all comes down to your own choice. You can put the whoop'n on all these goons no matter your setup. Awesome video,

I used the all three when they became available but only really maxed out the CQBR. Since it basically does the same thing as the stingray only better. Only problem I have with it is the penitration isn't as good as the bolt or stingray and i Youll have to be quick at the trigger to not spend extra ammo. But basically typewriter with infinite ammo.

I want to like the AR but without infinite ammo, it's almost unjustifiable to use. On top of the full-auto fire mode on default, I want there to be an option to use either full-auto or semi-auto. Personally I'd keep it on semi-auto mostly to conserve ammo which is in line with a realistic kind of gameplay.

the bolt vs iron maidens seems like it would be pretty sweaty, the bolt was my favorite sniper in re 5 tho id always stand way back n snipe for my co op buddy

I remember thinking I was gonna own the Gonados using the CQBR - I was assuming it used the plentiful blue Machine Gun ammo 😅

Love the video, I love the bolt action. But you cannot go wrong with the Stingray

Best rifle I think is either stingray or CQBR depending if ypu have cat ears on or not basically. Stingray is great when you want a rifle that doesn't take time between shots but you have only so much Ammo. CQBR is great when you have unlimited Ammo as you can tear things up especially the regeneraders. In fact you don't even need the bioscope sensor. I mean it's nice to have but just aiming at the center mass without it does the job. Honestly I would prefer that over the sweeper if it had infinite ammo like the sweeper meaning never needing to reload because it has better accuracy. And using the bioscope sensor at night or dark areas is very nice especially if you use type A as it gives an heat sensor look but still looking like it's at night since surrounding stuff is blue and not like green or pink.

CQBR if you have Cat Ears; Stingray without

For me the best option is stingray. Good mag, damage and pinpoint accuracy. Fire rate without compromising accuracy is great M1903 is overkill in 90% of the game, really good for boss battles and consume 50% of the inventory, (compared with the CQB and the stingray) my second option CQB is the last one, waste to much ammo, kicks like a mule, and the space in the inventory is the same (is good with cat ears)

Yea the one thing you forgot to mention is ammo availability, most people and most playthroughs aren’t gonna get the AR until the castle then it can drain ammo and especially on professional mode it doesn’t one shot enemies in the head until it’s power is fully upgraded, for the most part. Even on new game plus runs if you don’t have infinite ammo, rifle ammo is scarce.. that being said I prefer to run the AR because of the reasons you stated and it can still be used as a typical long range weapon, it’s fairly easy to shoot one shot. And I like to run with it because I love ARs in real life and own one so I just gotta keep the respect w it lol

The bolt action rifle with the thermal vision sight is a must for me.

CQBR is godly with unlimited ammo and becomes the best gun in the game. Without it though it burns through rifle ammunition too quickly so you probably are going to just use the initial 20 rounds it has in the chamber already and then store it or sell it. A criteria I think you should've discussed too is inventory space. The bolt action is much smaller than the Stingray, so if you're running a stuffed inventory with a lot of other guns the bolt action's smaller size can make the difference between carrying enough ammunition for every weapon or one (or more) having too little.

The starting one because bolt action and delicious wooden body.

I like the Stingray myself. As like I need more then one shot since I can't always hit my shot

"Ya gotta have the 'scooupe' though"

Springfield - most powerful and satisfying, most compact Stingray - most comfortable to use and versatile CQBR - Most destructive, but ammo hungry

Bolt action: damage all the way. Stingray: very little recoil + decent fire rate. CQBR: a lot of recoil + fast fire rate. I love the balance

I would've loved if they made it so that you aim via 3rd person if you don't equip a scope.

How does the CQBR fair against Regenerators? I've been wondering if I should use it instead of the Stingray or LE5 against them

My favorite rifle in the RE 4 remake is the bolt action rifle. It was also my favorite in the original RE 4

M1903 must buy as soon as the shop sells it, upgrade power, rof, and capacity about 3 times and it will act as a magnum and carry you nicely until mid game. Then one should upgrade to the Stingray to permanently keep and max it out until end of the game. The CQBR is not really usable in a normal playthrough, you really need the cat ears for it and at that point who cares which one is better? All weapons are God tier with cat ears. I'd rank Stingray in 1st place, M1903 2nd, CQBR participation award.

Poor Dr. Salvador, being used as training dummy in these videos.

CQBR is by far the best rifle just takes displine. It does 5.6 on crit and does 16.8 on crit making it hit as hard a shot gun but with zero spread and great range. Factor in the dps and you can melt everything in the game. Just be calm and control the triger.

IMO the sr m1908 is the best if u don’t have the cat ears (infinite ammo) but if u do have the cat ears then go ham with the cqbr

Now that I have the cat ears I'll go with the fully automatic rifle!

Cqbr is probably the best gun in the game dps-wise. Its the best rifle with infinite ammo. Without i prefer the Springfield. Stingray is good too😊

Para mí es el rifle de madera, aunque es un poco lento su potencia es hermosa, lo mismo era en el original adoro ese rifle es una delicia.

I stick to the stingray, as it is the most balanced, and has the best scope (I prefer rifles as snipers).

Stingray - beginner friendly and used early game Bolt Action - skilled players, mid to late game AR - Late game once obtain with Cat Ears

I'd go with the Stingray because that's what I used in the OG but the Bolt rifle is insane. The CQBR is a meme weapon without Cat Ears and probably wont be used on NG playthroughs.

There's not enough ammo to justify the AR

can you put the thermal scope on the springfield? (the bolt)

The sting ray is better against the regenerators I feel the other one is to slow against them

Ima stick with the bolt

best rifle is the m1903, without scope.

i guess the best is semi automatic . cuz that saves bullet . rifle ammo are not common .

I perfer the cqbr, or as I call it, the BBQ, because i am not a steady shot and full auto's and shotguns are 500% more my style

Assault rifle would be good if rifle ammo wasn’t so scarce

I dont really care if a gun is great only when it has unlimited ammo. I find the CQR too ammo hungry to be useful.

The M4 would be the best rifle, sadly the ammo limited the fun of this gun unless you got infinite ammo or use a trainer for PC.

Cqb iron sight = COD mode.

The AR makes the stingray useless, they should nerf it

1903!

I did not like the assault rifle. It chews through to much ammo. Rifle ammo is rather scarce in this game.

CQBR is actually the best rifle in the game and one of the best weapons in the game. But you have to understand the weapon first, otherwise you will call it gimmick, meme, ammohungry etc. Understanding the weapon is the hard part. Even the game tries really hard to misguide you how to use the weapon. For example it’s called close quarter battle rifle. You can’t use it as a CQBR. You have to use it like a single shot sniper rifle. You have to train your finger. And use it like you use stringray. It has more damage per bullet than stringray. Not just dps. So people calling it impractical or ammo inefficient is really just bad at math or haven’t figured how to single shot a fully automatic weapon. You can and really really should use one bullet on normal enemies head. It is just flat out better than stringray in every situation imaginable. And the problem with M 1903 is overkill damage. One shot with other rifles will also kill regular enemies. So the double damage per shot is not really helping and the slow rate of fire is really hurting. And against bosses you can afford to use 5-10 extra bullets to end the fight fast before taking unnecessary damage.

Do a best launcher video

Stingray 👍
