Something that you didn't mention that's worth talking about for the atomizer is that it's great for destroying fences that are in the way, also if there is an indestructible fence similar size around air port you can shoot the ground and propel yourself over the fence.

I said this many times and i will say it again. Special ammo NEEDS a buff in carry capacity except for the explosive rounds. 220 rounds for ARs before having to resupply is way to small, it needs to be doubled at least

I barely play GTA online nowadays but when I first played it the compact grenade launcher made quick work of vehicles even while I was on foot, plus it’s way more practical to just use the more agile CGL than an RPG or homing missiles but what really makes me love the CGL is being able to use it on vehicles not being able to afford vehicles with weapons in the early stages of GTA Online makes it that much more useful

Another useful thing about the EMP launcher is that if your bunker supplies are taken by merryweather via helicopter, EMP the chopper to prevent it from flying then shoot the pilot. However, this can cause the aircraft to take damage so be aware

Top 5 overrated weapons please!

Information: The heavy revolver Mk II with incendiary rounds is superb for taking on NPC's with. It's guaranteed 100% fire even on a bodyshot you will kill most NPC's in a single shot making it very efficient. It's also very good against players, but has a significantly higher skill cap than some other weapons so I wouldn't rate it as highly. If you headshot a player with it though, even with full armor, they're screwed.

I feel like another honorable mention should've been the Sweeper Shotgun. It's really usefull on the bike, and also on boats like the Dinghy. Pretty decent when using it like this.

I like the compact grenade launcher simply because I only lose 1 grenade upon death and not 10.

I use the compact grenade launcher litteraly all the time. This weapon is extremely versatile and can be used in many situations. What I like in particular is that you can either make the grenade explode instantly with a direct hit or shoot, get to a cover and let the grenade kill everybody but you. There are many missions where I use it, I will just take two examples that show how effective it is. During Cayo Perico preps, you need to fight four guys in a small warehouse. Most of the players use a shotgun for that but I use a compact grenade launcher. When I enter into the room, I launch a grenade at the back, I run to cover on the right corner and if I didn't miss my shot, I get 4 kills in 1 second. I'm very surprised by the way that even speedrunners don't use this technique. Second example: during the acid sell mission with the police ambush, I spot one of the police cars (just search a car or a van with someone inside, you don't need to go all the way to the top), I launch one grenade for a direct hit and I'm out. Moreover, this weapon can be bought even by low level players. I'm currently mounting a new account and this weapon is among those I took on day 1 for my characters. When your main farming tool is a Bati 801, you're very happy to have this weapon in your arsenal.

Correction TP. You can also ammo up your mark 2 weapons at the Agency. Since snacks are right there too the Agency quickly became my go to spot to ammo and snack up.

Also, a useful tip about the Up n Atomizer. If you go in first person, hold the aim button, shoot, and tap LB to instantly switch to your fists, then tap LB again and shoot, you can spam the Atomizer. Do with this information as you will.

I actually love the railgun because it’s a halo 4 reference and it’s been fun to shot down MK2 virgins with it while I protect the noobs. It’s like the original explosive sniper.

On the high society leak mission for the Agency, the emp launcher is especially useful once you killed the billionaire as the gun will cause helicopters to slowly land, allowing you to jack them and get to the agency much faster. Yeah, this is the only gun that allows you to hijack helicopters.

One advantage the compact grenades have over the regular one is that it has a shorter range, meaning you can arc grenades over walls and buildings and hit people in places where the regular grenade launcher would just fly right over and miss

Love the throwback intro in the CEO tower, haha. Brings me back to the older videos

Just want to say a couple of things. My cousin had that bunker defend mission (with the bombs on the 5-ton truck) come up a few days ago. When when he had diffused them and was starting to drive it away, a van knocked him off the ledge of the alley and sideways into the back yard of someone’s property. It just barely fit in there. We tried everything, including a Cargo Bob, but not the Up-n-Atomizer. Will keep this in mind for next time. Next, I’ll keep the EMP launcher in mind for collect missions. I’ve never thought to use it. lastly, I’ve done exactly what you did with the Heavy Sniper Mk. II. Although for me, I don’t think there was really any thought to it. I just know I wanted explosive rounds in at least one weapon, and I think that one made the most sense. So thank you for the help! Also, special thanks to your guinea pigs who took numerous fatal rounds to the dome and other various weapons tests for the greater good!

Don't forget the up and atomiser is great for launching yourself over fences you can't take down, Ive been saved so many times getting over that annoying airport fence when I'm grinding cayo

I agree with the up n atomizer. There was so many times I had to use it for selling my businesses and a selling vehicle would get stuck I would just use it. Also when I’m not making money it’s fun to use with your friends for little mini games we make up in free mode

The Professional is a real Pro! I love this guy, he just doesn't know how much of a help he is.👍🏾

Instead of the incendiary ammo on the Heavy MG I put it into the Revolver MK2 and boy it’s 100% more op because every bullets sets the enemy on fire. I always used it on the Doomsday Heist and it stunlocked a lot of the enemies for you to use another weapon to finish them off

I agree on 3. I even made a slogan; "The Up'n'Atomizer for all your stuck vehicle needs." Not a good slogan but the point stands. Also the SMG Mk2 and Compact Assault Rifle are great for boat drive-bys. I used to use the Heavy Sniper 2 Explosive Rounds a lot and shot down a fair share of fighter jet trolls but stopped once my ammo vanished between plays.

Finally someone talks about the up-n-atomizer

1:27 I like how your ceo name is still "today is feb 8" Lmaooo

The one thing I wish for the compact rifle is it gets a MK to upgrade that way it has a folding stock and it has scopes or RDSs kind of like a aks-74u krinkov I mean the micro SMG has a folding stock and attachments so why not for the compact rifle

Two weapons that should have been on this list IMO: Heavy Revolver Mk2 with incendiary rounds, why? It has a 100% chance to set NPC’s on fire killing them in one shot making difficult missions easier because it just forces them to rag doll Marksman Rifle Mk2 with a holographic sight, why? It grants auto aim to enemies while also turning it into a two round burst weapon when behind cover making it’s damage output even higher. I see no one use it without a scope and it’s shocking.

I have all weapons in the game but with this video I’ll take another look at the weapons you mentioned here thank you.

Feels like the old days

I spent lot of time making my perfect loadout and imo the best weapon combo is - carbine rifle mk2 with normal rounds (great for pve and pvp) special carbine mk2 with armor piercing rounds for tryhards with helmets, smg mk2 with fmj rounds, heavy revolver with fmj rounds - easy to shoot down cop helis and most cars go in flames in 2 shots to the engine, heavy sniper with regular rounds for extra capacity without needing to reload, but I sometimes switch it for armor piercing rounds, also assault shotgun and sweeper shotgun combo - one on foot and one on a bike

I wouldn't say the Explosive Sniper is underrated, more like underused. Most people on this game are well aware of how powerful it is, being the ultimate jet counter weapon. It's not underrated by any means. I think the main reason you don't often see the explosive sniper being used is because most players don't feel like going through all that bunker research to get the upgrade unlocked. I am glad you mentioned the compact rifle though. The fact that you can use it for drive-by never really crossed my mind, and so I never really used it.

In my opinion you don't need the explosive sniper anymore, bc the railgun can do almost the same but with a higher skill gap.

I don't even play GTA online and barely play v but your videos are nice and soothing. Helps me calm down to sleep

The grenades for the Compact launcher also have much lighter physics to them so they bounce really far when you hit a wall and they also slide across the ground quite far so its nice for inside buildings

Gta GOD GOAT! I’m level 650 i still look up to you and watch your videos

hey pro at this moment, rockstar should put you in the next gta game or just simple mention you when rockstar make a thank you video for the community because of your dedication to this franchise is amazing and the way you explain things. watching your videos makes me comeback to gta online because you have some tips for the business and it worked.

Don’t know how this guy dosnt have more views great content 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I'd also like to add the ap pistol. very effective when used in cars. I like to use it most when I'm in an armored kuruma, which makes it very easy to clear out an enemy npc-occupied area, and you can take almost no damage yourself because the windows are almost entirely bulletproof. tldr: armored kuruma+ap pistol=perfect drive-by combination.

The compact rifle is also a good option when fighting in tight areas like the Submarine in the Kosatka prep for Cayo.

The Up-n-Atomizer is also just plain fun. You can knock stuff of of utility poles with it, and it's fun to just see what happens when you shoot stuff with it, or when you can knock a pedestrian off a tall ledge.

The Atomizer is my big mention. I lost count how many times it got me out of trouble bc a vehicle or something got stuck bc of the dumb game mechanics.

The Seabreeze is definitely underrated, it can take down jets if your good in it

An other reason why people dont use explosive rounds on sniper is because its locked behind bunker research is real grind to get research done as well. Also assume large portion of GTA Online players dont even know this modification is a thing in the game so most often overlook it.

NUMBER 1 weapon on PC : Cheat Engine....this superior weapon can be used in many scenarios such as: killing everyone on a map with a single button press at any time without any cooldown, disconnecting anyone from gta online again no cooldown, stealing another player IP adress to type anything in chat under their player username.....the list goes on and on....

No honorable mention for the pump shotgun mk2 with explosive rounds? Come on man!😅 that thing shreds cars. It's like shooting the mk2 sniper with explosive rounds from the hip.😁

Careful with the EMP, you can accidentally blow things up if you use it too much. Found that out the hard way. EDIT: To clarify now that this is Highlighted; I was specifically using the EMP Launcher to slow the Police Van for the Coke house raid out near the lake, I was just trying to slow it down and inadvertently blew it up for my MC President. To be clear, I blew up the van with the employees in it that you need to stop and take back by using the EMP launcher on it too much.

The flare gun is the best when dealing with multiple players all on mkII Oppressors. I had a guy wondering how I did that, it was funny, I was shooting my flare gun in the air while driving away in a car that would be destroyed at one blast. The EMP one lol shoot it well or the soda can of a thing you shot out will just bounce off. I have my stuff setup the same way, I should be using some of these more often. Next time I go on a mission where I notice the NPC's getting back up I'll be shooting them on fire. I do not ride around on a motorcycle so often as the NPC drivers will be knocking you off too often even.

love the content, no matter if it's GTA, Red Dead, Call of Duty, or even Vlogs, We'll still be here. :D

Hope your having a good day pat keep up the good work brother

The explosive rounds for the heavy sniper is an absolute life saver it's very effective against jets and the fact that it has 40 rounds I'd say it's fair because imagine how some players would abuse it if it had max ammo and besides the research takes a very long time depending on your luck I've had so many instances where a jet griefer would fly around killing people and I use explosive rounds on them, but I think the pump action shotgun needs a buff I remember it was a beast in gta 4 the lost and damned

I used the handheld grenade launcher in like my first week in GTA Online to kill one of those remote control tanks that some guy was driving around and griefing people with.

Another major upside for the compact grenade launcher is that it is useable by low level players. It costs only 45k and each round is 250$ bought in 2 round batches for $500. Due to the ease of acquiring it can be a great tool for low level players for missions and self defense, being the first shot explosive the player can get their hands on that they can then use to blow up ai vehicles in missions or a player attacking you. I even find it handy for stash houses, one round down bottom left usually clears that side of the basement of hostiles. The next explosive option is the homing at like 150k and each rocket is 1500$ which is alot for each round. The mgl is unlocked at level 60 and the RPG at level 100.

Correction the Buffalo STX windows can withstand 15 standard rounds before being smashed. Also I think a underrated weapon in GTAV online is the Heavy Rifle and I don't see many people rocking it. It destroys NPC enemies and player enemies pretty quick.

my problem with explosive rounds on the mk 2 heavy sniper is that sometimes when I'm 1v1 sniper battling another player I'd hit them, and they fly to where I can no longer see them, and it has resulted in missed kills or the person getting away from me

Johnny would be so proud you used that grenade launcher... Tbh I use the grenade launcher on bikes more than the stickies...

15:16 you are correct before the sniper mk2 . Jets what are living nightmare .because you can't stop spawn killing you all the time

Surprised you didn't mention the pump shotgun with explosive rounds as it's super OP on the ground for immediately taking out hostile NPC's.

Alot of people seem to not know this. in the mission at 0:50 and any other mission like the mc raid mission with that van, you can shoot the back of the van with vehicle mounted machine guns like on the ruiner or deluxo (it has to be a few seconds of constant fire) the van will stop and the driver will get out so you can shoot him. Or you could just use a micro smg, it does the same thing. I haven't tried any other vehicle with machine guns but I'd imagine they'd work. I haven't tried that method on any other vehicle either but maybe it would work. Also at 4:28 in this mission specifically, if you break up the race and follow the vehicle you need to collect, before he leaves the airport he'll run into something and you have enough time to pull the driver out

I love the atomizer I was able to fight off 7 people last week with it aswell as when I do the piracy prevention on the yacht I use it

my favorite is probably the carbine mk2

Personally i like to use the EMP Launcher to steal enemy's helis, mainly when i get stuck somewhere (and i'm carrying cargo).

I agree with this video but I'd add an additional special mention for the incendiary rounds on the heavy revolver. The heavy machinegun is decent but leaves one vulnerable... The speed that the revolver ignites certain enemies is especially useful. Heavily armored NPCs ragdoll with a shot or 2. It can also be devastating in an emergency when gliding with a parachute. It is really useful as a passenger in certain vehicles also. The M.O.C. cab being a good example...

3:09 compact emp launcher actually will blow up a buffalo evx. Idk why I’ve just seen it multiple times at this point

i find the up and atomizer works better if you stand in front or behind and shoot under or just in front of the vehicle it will lift up and roll back a bit if you hit from the side sometimes it can flip the vehicle over sideways then you will have to shoot it again

He sits in that seat just like back in the day

I have always used the compact grenade launcher due to using it on bikes being really nice

The reason why I doný use Explosive rounds on my Heavy Sniper is because then there isn't a good regular sniper anymore as all the alternatives are all bad. That's also why I love the fact that the Railgun is in GTA Online because that's basically a heavy sniper with explosive rounds.

I like to put Incendiary rounds in the Heavy Revolver Mk 2. it's slow fire rate allows every shot to set things on fire.

Your number 1 is rated very high in the the community as well as others you mention.

Your vid’s are so good

Feels good to have you back withs these classic type videos pro🤗

I would say the Combat Shotgun Mk2 with Explosive Rounds is more underrated than the Heavy Sniper MK2 with Explosive Rounds

the up an atomizer deff deserves its spot it saved my stuck mission vihivles on so manny accounts i cant even recall al of them and the conpact grenade launcher holds a special place in my heart took down my first MK 2 opressor with it :P

7:42 hitting an oppressor with an atomizer is probably about the same as hitting one with a railgun

Brass Knuckles. I can't stress enough how effective and efficient they are in melee combat. I make custom death matches catered to JUST using melee weapons. And the brass knuckles always seem to take folks out the fastest. You can get off more punches, over the animation of the stabs and the overhead swings with the others melee weapons. Those are a hit or miss, and leaves you open for a counter. Or just do not mix well with GTA 5's melee mechanics. But the knucks are the exception. They can overwhelm you in under two hits. And it has that homing-in animation as the knives. Except fires off quicker. Absolutely crucial with how this game is set up. Rendering the rest almost useless. I would say the second best is the golf club. It's long reach and quick repetition hits make for an effective weapon, second to the knucks. It still takes longer than the knucks obviously. The knucks are just undefeated.

The AK mk2 is also underrated because it has the highest damage per bullet among the assault rifles

Holy another proffesional on GTA again Pog have a good day!!

I like to use fmj rounds in one of my assault rifles just to use for vehicles with bulletproof windows

I used to ride around on a BMX and when a griefer tried to run me over I would surprise them with a compact grenade launcher

Up n Atomizer has definitely saved me on cargo runs. I have accidentaly backed over the cargo crate I just dropped and got hung up on it or trapped myself in a dead end and the Up n Atomizer saved the day. Those crates are anchored to the concrete after you drop them. Lol Its good for knocking down a fence when driving a motorcycle too. Its too bad we cant shoot it from a vehicle.

I keep a second assault rifle with FMJ rounds for the sole purpose of shooting through Buffalo STX windows.

The Compact Grenade Launcher It was half the META in late 2016 to early 2017, let me tell you it's story: Released in 2016, last DLC before Gunrunning (Oppressor Mk1), so small window of time being good. Inside that window of time, it was the most OP thing in GTA Online, as at the time there were 7 vehicle options: The Insurgent and Tank (too situational, easy to counter with the other ) Kuruma (good but get's isntantly DEMOLISHED by the 2 main options) Jet (situational) Ruiner 2000 (countered by Mines and C4, Schafters were still better) Armored Schafter V12 [or others] with C4 (man, I miss this META, it was great, and fighting against CGL was 50/50) Motorcycle with CGL [usually Bati or Street Blazer at the time]. I constantly changed between the Schafter V12 with C4 and the Bati or Street Blazer with CGL. The Schafter was more defensive, although still capable of being aggressive, but you could only survive 1 explosion and MAYBE run for your life out of the car when hit a second time. But the CGL was better for an aggressive playstyle (especially if using your prefered Bike). Once you learned the aiming, you couldn't be stopped, you're a fast small target and can explode most vehicles in instants. If a player is on foot you could end him with the Sweeper Shotgun or the Double Barrel if your confident. (by the way, these 2 shotguns would be great for this videos as they're pretty underrated) Sadly, this META didn't last long, as the Oppressor Mk1 with multiple OP vehicles were released in 2017 followed by the Mk2 soon after. But while it lasted, it was godly, and it actually required much more skill compared to even the C4 strat (which is still alive with the Nightshark). I remember being able to survive 5 players with the Bati as my favorite vehicle, I used to fight a lot back in the day and somehow even while being super aggressive and exposed, I remember mantaining a 3kd at the time by being reckless but surviving.

Up N atomizer on blow up 4 will allow you to rather easily solo it and make some good quick money. Hide behind the pile of wood to the right side of the building and use it to knock enemies out of cover behind different boxes in the parking lot and to knock the cars out of the way allowing any good range rifle to pop enemies where they can't hit you. Just be careful not to hit yourself with it and or blow up your cover

The professional used 'his tactic'. It's super effective.

Explosivsniper is a must if u get a nightlookerhat in the jet he can see u spawning and spawn killing u with a jet and u cant do anything bcs u spawn and u have only 5 seconds to hit him

1:19 i use it on my assault rifle and on the revolver, but i have almost all special ammo on my rifles 🔥

18:55 well it wasn't Ruiner, because i checked that previous moment when you destroy this one guys vehicle and i saw that it's actually Toreador

Also you can use compact emp launcher to steal enemy helicopters in missions

I think i have 3 loadouts One for business, a similar to this one One for batles, full explosive rounds ( i have no patience for pvp ) And one for fun , just random gun i like, things like the Tommy gun, doble barrel shotgun and revolvers

the heavy sniper mk2 pretty much kills the best weapon in the game in ground pvp. Sure it is a good counter against the jets and npc helicopters but that's pretty much it, npc helis can now be countered easily with the railgun now. I actually used the compact grenade launcher but the heavy weapon category started to get a little bit too crowded with 7 weapons so had to take it out, same with the compact emp launcher. I absolutely agree on the smg mk2 fmj rounds, it is a really good weapon to put the fmj rounds to

great video keep it up bro

I have 2 problem on GTA Online weaponry, and everyone definitely will agree on this for the change either fix it on current gta online or at gta online 2 if it get a release. The first is ammo type, unlike gta online, RDR2 or Online can change ammo type in the same weapon despite you can only carry 2 primary and the sidearm. It's quite annoying if your have to change weapons because of the ammo type ran out every single time especially if you use it on the mission. Worst about it you can't buy/refill special ammo on mission scoreboard when you died. 2nd problem, weapons that you really want to carry in your inventory even some mission give scripted weapons. Let's be real that the loadout function is broken sometimes. Even you have enable it, some missions will removed the option of it anyway. What's the point setup the loadout if it going be useless in some mission. I only thought how they can fix this 2 problem is to have your own stash while on foot, like an example vehicle trunk of you owned just like your horse bags. Even tho Cyberpunk 2077 can't perform same way as gta does, it does gave you an infinite inventory stash if you have a vehicle on spawned, making easier to refill and change at any times than cycle through each weapons.

Damn they released an explosive sniper! I really want to play this again!

I remember a long time ago while i was making an mc sell with the trashmaster somone grifed me by kamikazing himself with is airplane on my trashmaster lmao

The Mk2 revolver with flame rounds is great against npcs

If you hate the explosive sniper you're probably one of the dirtbags it's meant to help counter

Heavy revolver mk. II with incendiary rounds is also very good, it sets on fire with just 1 shot

I already didn't care much for the explosive sniper because of the limited ammo, I got into way more fights where the extended clip was better suited. Occasionally I would be like "Damn, I wish I had E rounds right about now" but every time I switched to them I would just run out of ammo and be stuck without a heavy sniper at all. Now that the railgun is a thing I don't feel a need for the explosive sniper at all.

you should do a video that has 5 best weapons, Amd you shouldve added the marksman Rifle MK2 its really good and very underrated ! most people dont use it much but It gives alot of damage

Fun fact If you Buy supplies for 50K it will be delivered by a Player playing in gta5 . It doesn't mean only players delivery. That's why it takes 20 minutes to get delivered after buying. If you don't believe me call dax and request job. And if you request vehicle from assistant it means it's assets recovery mission on secure serve . Just think about it

What would be great would be if we had a way to hot swap magazine types that we purchased, or at the VERY least if we could use other people's weapon work benches, especially when part of their MC or Organization. It makes no sense that we can use up an entire ammo type and be stuck with nothing until we're back on our own. If we're in an Organization we should be able ot use our boss' weapon workbench to at least resupply.

I think the reason most people don't have the explosive sniper is that you have to do all the research to get it. That's too much hard work for most players. I love it though, shooting jets is like skeet shooting.
