Ultimate Infection Gunfight Weapons Tier List

If you're looking to whack some zombies, better do it in style, eh? To help you out, I created the ultimate Infection Gunfight weapons tier list.

While there's nothing better than just blasting with the M249, do you really want to be the first line of the defense all the time? That's just a microcosm of most of the weapons on this part of our Infection Gunfight weapons tier list—nice, but not there yet.

C-Tier Infection Gunfight Weapons 

This set of guns in Infection Gunfight isn't the best, but you can easily survive if you place your shots wisely and find the right hiding spot.

NameRanking Explanation 
AK47Good old reliable, but in a world of absurd firepower, it feels like showing up to a tank fight with a rifle.
M4A1Decent, but doesn’t do anything special. It’s like picking plain vanilla ice cream at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
M1921Fun in theory, but lacks the raw power of better SMGs. Feels like using a history lesson as a weapon.
SVDSniper rifle with a weird personality crisis. It can’t quite decide if it wants to be a semi-auto or just another mid-range rifle.
Glock-18Feels like shooting BB pellets when everyone else is using cannons. The full-auto mode helps, but it’s still an uphill battle.
Mac-10Too much recoil, not enough damage. You’ll run out of bullets before the infected even notice.
Knife Only use this if you have a death wish or want to flex on your enemies before they eat your face.

Best Infection Gunfight Skins Tier List

Sure, you can rack up a few wins and #1 spots with a basic Bag, but do you really want to be flexed upon? Not just that, but all the entries on our Infection Gunfight skins tier list give you stats boosts, sometimes gargantuan ones. So, let’s see ‘em. 

S-Tier Infection Gunfight Skins

These are the best of the best when it comes to Infection Gunfight skins, but they also cost the most and have the lowest drop chance when you're opening Cases. Regardless, make these your goal in-game:

NameRanking Explanation 
M82A1 - DestroySnipers don’t get better than this. One shot, one kill, and if you blink, you’ll miss it.
Dual AK47 - Snake One of the best fire rates in the game and is excellent for camping in visible positions with 30s or less remaining. 
AN94 - NovaThis thing fires like it’s angry at the enemy. High-speed destruction at its finest.
Dual MP9 - NovaSmall guns, big problems. You’ll be melting enemies before they know what hit them.
Minigun - SnakeBecause mowing down zombies with a poison-laced fire hose of bullets is just satisfying.
Dual Desert Eagle - OdinLike wielding two divine hammers, but instead of thunder, you get raw firepower.
AWP - JudgmentSniper’s dream. One well-placed shot and they’ll never know what hit them.
M82A1 - XWhen your sniper rifle doubles as a cannon, you know you’re doing something right.

A-Tier Infection Gunfight Skins

Not quite as good as the pinnacle of our Infection Gunfight skins tier list, but they'll definitely land you a couple of top spots in the classic mode, regardless of what your playstyle is:

NameRanking Explanation 
AK47 - SnakeA classic with a toxic twist. Hard to go wrong here.
AK47 - Mech CoreFeels like a futuristic war machine in your hands.
M249 - XA lead-spitting monster that keeps enemies pinned down like it’s an obligation.
Minigun - XImagine a blender but for zombies. Now add infinite ammo.
AK47 - KirinHits like a truck with the precision of a scalpel.
M500 - Break VoidTurns heads, literally. High damage and absurd fun.
Minigun - PulseA rave of destruction. Flashy, fast, and downright terrifying.
Minigun - ValentineNothing says love like obliterating enemies with a giant gun.
M4A1 - DestroyReliable, deadly, and just feels right.

B-Tier Infection Gunfight Skins

I wouldn't complain if I rolled one of these, but there's a clear chasm between the Rifle and Minigun-heavy A-tier and the ones coming afterwards.

NameRanking Explanation 
MG3 - Iron BeastHeavy, clunky, but if you love dumping ammo, it’s a good time.
M32MGL - Iron BeastWho doesn’t love explosions? If only it fired a bit faster.
M4A1 - PulseA decent option but lacks the sheer power of top-tier rifles.
Dual AK47 - TornadoFeels like having a personal hurricane of bullets. Absolute chaos in the best way possible. Snake is still better
Dual Uzi - ValentineFun in short bursts, but not built for the long haul.
Desert Eagle - ValentineA stylish head-popper, but not quite elite.
AK47 - ValentineIt’s okay. Not great, not bad—just... there.
Scar - DragonBurn damage is nice, but this gun just doesn’t bring enough heat.
AWP - Lunar SpringCould’ve been legendary, but it just isn’t.
M82A1 - SnakeDeadly, but needs finesse.

C-Tier Infection Gunfight Skins

I know Infection Gunfight skins aren't free, so I wouldn't waste too much time acquiring any of these other than for looks. If you have Robux or gems to spare and you like a skin? Fine, no harm done. Still, I'd only base my build on S-tier and A-tier skins, with the occasional B-tier.

NameRanking Explanation 
Kar98K - SnakeSniper’s choice… if you like making things unnecessarily difficult.
Dual Desert Eagle - SnakeDual-wielding is cool, but these feel like a gimmick.
Dual MP9 - JudgmentFeels fast, but lacks punch.
AK47 - Lunar SpringLooks great, but the performance is as soft as the season it’s named after.
M4A1 - Lunar SpringReloads fast but doesn’t hit hard.
Scar - Lunar SpringJust meh, it’s one of those pointless skins you might as well ignore. 
M4A1 - Snake Decent but outclassed by other toxic choices.
Kar98K - Lunar SpringFeels ancient compared to the competition.
Desert Eagle - Lunar SpringOutclassed in every way.
Mac-10 - Lunar SpringA spray-and-pray option that mostly prays.

D-Tier Infection Gunfight Skins

No weapon is outright detrimental to your chances of survival, except Melee weapons. Look, I get it, the Halloween Karambit is pretty, but do you really want to compare it to the miniguns, AK47s and Novas of the world? I didn’t think so. Any knife will do, as you’re always one touch from getting infected, so make sure you pick up those Supply Crates. 

I know it’s a big one, so you’ll be happy to hear this is the end of this Infection Gunfight weapons tier list. If you’re not sure what else to try during the event, check out our full list of games in The Hunt and give that milli a shot.
