1. The Mosin-Nagant M1891

The Mosin-Nagant M1891 is the cream of the crop.

Are you surprised? Maybe you thought it was going to be your favorite gun, or maybe you thought it would be mine (the Sparks, hehe). The Mosin trumps everything else. It has accuracy and damage at great range, it has a bayonet variant for close quarters fighting, and it has some good complimentary perks. Yep, if there’s one gun you want to get really good with, it should be the Mosin.

The Mosin can reach out and touch just about anyone you can physically see during a match, provided your aim is good enough and have luck on your side. Even better, it can still do some noticeable damage at longer ranges. The best part of allis that you can perform follow-up shots, and with the iron sharpshootertrait, you can do this seamlesslywithout needing to exit ironsights mode.

When combined with something like the Uppercut, your ammo pool is increased sufficiently to let you dominate the battlefield near and far. The stats speak for themselves:

• Capacity - 5/10

• Cost - $450

• Category - Large Weapon

• Range - 70

• Damage - 46

• Control - 40

• Rate of Fire - 40

• Reload Speed - 60

• Melee - 24

• Stealth - 20

• Heavy Melee - 36

• Ammunition Type - Long

• Melee Damage Type - Blunt

• Heavy Melee Damage Type - Blunt

Compared to the Auto-5, the Mosin is a lot less difficult to unlock, sitting pretty at level 67. While it would be epic to zoom up to level 67 like Sonic the Hedgehog, new players will have to face the daunting challenge of reaching that height through grit and gristle. The Mosin is an important and joyful milestone for experienced players, as it marks their ever increasing ascension to the next prestige tier.

There you have it, the top ten best weapons in Hunt: Showdown and how to get them. Was there something you didn’t agree with? Something we missed? Then 1v1 me at Lawson Delta and we’ll decide it there! Hopefully, new and old players alike have found something new and useful here. Happy hunting!
