'''''Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege''''' is a tactical first person shooter available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Players assume the roles of counter-terrorism operators from around the world, and engage in PvP and PvE combat. In regular gameplay, players play as either Attackers or Defenders on maps designed with clearly defined indoor and outdoor regions. Attackers must enter the central structure of the map and complete objectives like defusing bombs, securing a point, or rescuing a hostage, while the Defenders must prevent the Attackers from achieving their objectives and run down the round timer to win. Eliminating the enemy team is also a victory condition. There is also a PvE mode called Terrorist Hunt.

Players play as "Operators", a roster of characters divided between Attackers and Defenders, with each Operator coming from one counter-terrorist unit background. Each Operator carries a unique Operator gadget that defines their abilities and team role (no Operator may be selected twice by the same team). In terms of weaponry, each Operator generally has two primary weapon options (three at most, occasionally one) and one or two secondary options. Generally speaking, Rifles and LMGs are used by Attackers, SMGs are used by Defenders, and Shotguns are mostly used by Defenders though sometimes shared with Attackers. Operators of a CTU generally share their sidearm options and their shotgun option. Each Operator also carries a piece of team-specific universal equipment alongside their unique gadget, choosing one from two options.

Also playable are Recruits, who are generic Operators with no special gadgets, instead taking a second piece of universal equipment in place of it. With one exception, all weapons from any of the five base game CTU's "side" are available to them (e.g. a GSG-9 Defender recruit can use either the MP7 or the HK416C, despite each being otherwise exclusive to one of their two Defender operators). Recruit weapons cannot be customized.

The game also features destructible environments for players to take advantage of, primarily blowing holes in walls for a new entry point to flank opponents, creating windows to defend an area without exposing the player's whole body, or shooting through thin walls to suppress enemies.

Free seasonal expansions were added post-release, with each expansion adding two new Operators from one new CTU, and new weapons for those Operators.

All primary and some secondary weapons in the game have "charm mounts" to which keychain-like charms can be attached, which by default appear as sling loops.

Notably, third person weapon animations are completely identical to their first person counterparts. Ejected fired rounds and dropped magazines are physical objects that bounce against surfaces, and can be seen in both first and third person.

For ease of searching, all weapons on this page are primarily ordered by chronology of addition to the game, with the base game weapons near the top of each weapon category and DLC weapons further down.

'''The following weapons can be seen in the video game ''Rainbow Six Siege'':'''
__TOC__ 
=Handguns=
==FN Five-seveN==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN Mark 2]] is issued to the FBI SWAT faction, and is also available to Jaeger Corps operator Nøkk added in Year 4 Season 2 Operation Phantom Sight. It appears as the "5.7 USG". The Five-seveN has an appropriate 20+1 capacity, but its overall effectiveness is offset by low stopping power. A special version was added in Year 5 Season 3 Operation Shadow Legacy, available to operative [[:Category:Tom_Clancy#Splinter Cell|Zero]].

==FN FNP-9==
The [[FN FNP-9]] is a high capacity, 9x19mm handgun used by the GIGN Operators and the reworked Recruit defender. It is referred to as the "P9". Lion always carries one in a vest holster, in addition to his main sidearm (either another FNP-9 or a Model 586) in his leg holster; the extra pistol is not usable by the player.

==GSh-18 Sport==
The [[GSh-18]] is a sidearm available to the Spetsnaz CTU (the depicted CTU is more specifically Alpha Group of FSB, going under the more generic and well-known Spetsnaz name). As with the two pistols mentioned above, it is the Russians' high capacity, low damage 9x19mm caliber pistol. The particular model used in-game is a GSh-18 Sport, a civilian offering intended for competition shooting, evident by the front cocking serrations and lack of trigger safety.

==Heckler & Koch USP Tactical==
The P12 is the German equipment designation for the [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]], used by the German GSG-9 operatives, reworked Recruits, and NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai. The loadout icon was originally the same as the FNP-9, but in Update 3.2 the USP was given a new proper icon. Magazine capacity is also wrong for a .45 ACP USP Tactical that is used as the P12 in reality; only 10- or 12-round magazines exist for it.

==M45/MEU(SOC)==
The [[M45/MEU(SOC)]] is the other sidearm available to the FBI SWAT operatives. It appears as the "M45 MEUSOC" and feeds from standard seven-round magazines. Compared to their Five-seveN, the MEU(SOC) offers substantially higher stopping power at the expense of having close to only a third of the former's magazine capacity at only 7 rounds.

==Makarov PM==
Though referred to as the improved PMM, the in-game pistol is actually the older [[Makarov PM]], and is issued to the Russian Spetsnaz.
Likely due to balancing, the weapon is ''obscenely'' powerful, its currently the most powerful sidearm in the game, short of magnum handguns like the S&W 586 and the SEALs' Desert Eagle.

[[file:RSS PM (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Using a shiny Makarov to remove some barbed wire.]]

==SIG-Sauer P226 Mk 25==
The SAS operators use the [[SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226 Mk 25]] as their default handgun of choice. The choice of this particular model for the SAS is odd, as the military of the UK uses regular P226/P226R pistols under the "L105A1/A2" designation. It also predates the inclusion of a proper US Navy SEAL faction, who, in true tacticool fashion, were given the Desert Eagle as their sidearm instead. Although it should be noted that in-universe, Rainbow is a multinational counter-terrorist group with no set loadouts for their operators, so they would be theoretically free to use whatever armaments they see fit.

==Smith & Wesson Model 586==
The base game's lone revolver, the [[Smith & Wesson Model 586]] is available to the French GIGN. It appears as the "LFP586". This weapon is likely standing in for the [[Manurhin MR-73]] revolver, which is used in real life by the French GIGN. Compared to their FNP-9, the Model 586 offers substantially greater stopping power per shot, but requires prime shot placement and well timed reloads to offset its stout recoil and low capacity. The only accessory available to the 586 is a laser aiming module mounted onto the trigger guard.

Oddly, the revolver has different empty and non-empty reload animations; on a non-empty reload, the user will press the cylinder release with their right thumb and push the cylinder with their left hand from the right side, whereas on an empty reload, they will press the cylinder relase with their left thumb.

==Inglis Hi-Power==
The Inglis Hi-Power, a Canadian-manufactured version of the [[Browning Hi-Power]], is used by the Canadian JTF2 operators Buck and Frost and REU operator Iana. It appears under the strange name "MK1 9mm". The version used by Iana features custom grips.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The classically absurd [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] is used by the Navy SEAL Operators added to the game with the Operation Dust Line expansion, and is also used by the Jaeger Corps operator Nøkk added in the Operation Phantom Sight expansion. Contrary to popular belief, the Desert Eagle has been issued to military forces. The Polish GROM (which appears in the game) as well as the Portuguese Special Operations Group both use the Desert Eagle. It appears as the "D-50", similar to its name in other Ubisoft releases around the same time like ''[[Far Cry 3]]''. Originally released with a chrome default finish, the Operation Velvet Shell update changed the default finish to black.

[[File:R6S New Desert Eagle Sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming down the red & yellow irons.]]

==Beretta 92==
The [[Beretta 92]] is used by the BOPE Operators from the Operation Skull Rain expansion, labeled in-game as "PRB92." Presumably, these pistols were intended to be vintage [[Taurus PT92]] handguns, but the rounded trigger guard and magazine release located on the butt of the grip are features of the first model Beretta 92. It also has the wider cocking serrations on the slide from the newer PT92 models.

On another note, the defender Caveira wields a unique "Luison" version that comes pre-equipped with a mineral-based suppressor and fires non-lethal, subsonic rounds. Due to balancing, Lusion used to be able to deal ''more'' damage than a .50 caliber handcannon at close range before being nerfed down, where it now only deals slightly more damage than the Spetsnaz' Makarov (which is still a compact handcannon that puts all other non-magnum sidearms to shame). The magazine size of the Luison is also nerfed compared to the standard PRB92, at 12 instead of 15 rounds.

[[File:RSSPt92-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Caveira racks the slide to chamber a round on her Luison. The alleged "non-lethal" rounds seem just as lethal as other pistols, though; its only difference is that it will only incapacitate targets (unless the victim is the last person alive on the enemy team) to allow Caveira a chance to interrogate them and expose the rest of the enemy's positions.]]
[[File:RSS Taurusactual.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the Skull Rain loading screens shows the actual PT92, however, a current production PT92AF to be precise.]]

==SIG-Sauer P229 Elite==
The [[SIG-Sauer P229|P229 Elite]] is used by the SAT Operators from the Operation Red Crow expansion, and also the Mexican FES operator Goyo from the Operation Ember Rise expansion. It appears as simply the "P229". What appears to be a SIG-Sauer P229 is seen on the "Custom Game" icon.
[[Image:P229_Elite_Stainless.jpg|thumb|350px|none|SIG-Sauer P229 Elite - .40 S&W]]

==Heckler & Koch USP Compact==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Compact]] is used by Spanish GEO operators Jackal and Mira and GIGR operator Oryx. It appears as the "USP40".
[[Image:Usp40compact.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Heckler & Koch USP Compact - .40 S&W]]
[[File:RainbowSixSiege-USP40.jpg|thumb|600px|none|USP40 Compact in the weapon inspection screen. The pistol has a black Hogue grip sleeve, which combines with the default tan body and black slide to give it a somewhat three-tone appearance. Oryx's USP40 has a different dark green default finish.]]

==Norinco QSZ-92==
The 9x19mm variant of the [[Norinco QSZ-92]] is used by the SDU Operators featured in the Operation Blood Orchid DLC, but with a lowered capacity of 10 rounds instead of 15. It appears as the "Q-929".
[[Image:QSZ-92.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Norinco QSZ-92 - 9x19mm]]

==PR-15 Ragun==
The Polish [[PR-15 Ragun]] was added to the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is referred to as the "RG15", and is used by the GROM defender Ela and GROM attacker Zofia (who was released in Operation White Noise, the following season), and Inkaba Task Force (a fictional anti-poaching unit seemingly inspired by the real-world Black Mambas APU) operator Melusi. It features a permanently-attached SIG ROMEO1 reflex sight which was originally exclusive to this pistol in-game before the inclusion of the Taurus 4510PLYFS with the Italian GIS faction. Interestingly, pre-release renders of Ela showed her instead holding a [[SIG-Sauer P228]] with a red-dot sight.

==CZ 75 Automatic==
The [[CZ 75 Automatic]] using 26 round magazines was added to the game with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is referred to as the "C75 Auto", and is used by the 707th Special Mission Battalion operators Dokkaebi and Vigil, NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali, and reworked Recruits. It is classified as Machine Pistol in-game.

The weapon cannot accept any attachments beyond a silencer, despite having a rail on top of the sights, although it technically does come in with a compensator and vertical grip in the form of the spare magazine mounted on the lower frame (which is not usable for quick reloads and its also empty).

==Taurus 4510PLYFS==

The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] is a sidearm option for Italian GIS Operators Maestro and Alibi and GIGR operator Oryx. It is a .410 shotgun revolver that holds 5 rounds. In ''Siege'', it is called the "Bailiff 410" and comes equipped with a fixed ROMEO1 reflex sight, just as the GROM's PR-15 Ragun does.

==Chiappa Rhino 40DS==
The [[Chiappa Rhino 40DS]], referred to in-game as the "KERATOS .357" ("keratos" being Greek for "horn"), was added in Operation Para Bellum, and can be used by GIS operators Alibi and Maestro, and NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai. It is rather bizarrely depicted as being capable of using a suppressor; with the exception of the [[Nagant M1895]], revolvers fitted with suppressors serve essentially no purpose, as the gases that escape through the gap between the cylinder and barrel would more or less completely negate any noise-reducing effects that the suppressor would otherwise have. This mistake is made even more bizarre by the fact that the game's 2 other revolvers, the [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] and the [[Smith & Wesson Model 586]], are both correctly shown as being unable to use a suppressor.

==SIG-Sauer 1911 TACOPS==
The [[SIG-Sauer 1911|SIG-Sauer 1911 TACOPS]] is the sidearm of Delta Force and GSUTR ("Grim Sky Urban Tactical Response Team", the CTU added in Year 3 Season 3, Operation Grim Sky) Attacker Operator Maverick. It is equipped with Hogue grip panels and a worn tan finish. Compared to the M45 MEUSOC, the 1911 TACOPS does slightly less damage than the M45, but has the benefit of having one more round due to its 8-round magazine (and a total of 9 with one in the chamber).

==CZ P-10 C==
The [[CZ P-10 C]] is one of the sidearms available to the GSUTR and Metropolitan Police Service Defender Operator Clash added in Year 3 Season 3 Operation Grim Sky, as well as Secret Service operator Warden added in Y4S2 Operation Phantom Sight. It features a permanently-attached SIG ROMEO1 red dot sight like the [[PR-15 Ragun]], and a blue flat-faced HB Industries aftermarket trigger.

==AMC Auto Mag==
The two Moroccan GIGR operators added in Operation Wind Bastion (the attacker Nomad and the defender Kaid) both have access to an [[AMC Auto Mag]] as their sole sidearm option. It goes by the rather generic moniker ".44 Mag Semi-Auto" in-game, and is fitted with Duane Short wood grips and a permanently-affixed low-power pistol scope, the only sidearm in the game to have a sight that grants x2.5 magnification.

The Auto Mag is a rather bizarre choice; if the pistol's heavy weight, low magazine capacity, large size (especially with a scope mounted), and sharp recoil don't make it an impractical option for martial use (not unlike the Navy SEALs' equally ridiculous [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]]), then its significant rarity (and correspondingly high price tag) and nigh-on unobtainable proprietary ammunition certainly do. That said, all these factors convinced Ubisoft that the gun is an unparalleled work of craftsmanship and turned it into a pocket DMR.

==CZ P-09 in CAA Tactical RONI-G2==
Mozzie, the Australian defending operator added in the Operation Burnt Horizon expansion, can wield the "P10 RONI" as a primary weapon option under the submachine gun category; despite having "P10" in the name, it is actually a [[CZ P-09]], converted to full-auto and somehow mounted into a [[CAA Tactical RONI|CAA Tactical RONI-G2]] carbine conversion kit meant for [[Glock]] pistols. It lacks the spare magazine holder and the foregrip is absent by default, though the foregrip is reattached with the Angled Grip and Vertical Grip attachments. It is fitted with Magpul MBUS Gen 2 sights and can be equipped with Battlecomp 2.0 flash hider. It has a unique Holographic Sight modeled after the Vortex Razor UH-1.

==Sphinx SDP Compact Duty==
The pistol sidearm option for both Australian SASR operators added in the Operation Burnt Horizon expansion is the [[Sphinx 3000|Sphinx SDP Compact Duty]] with a "Krypton" (OD green) frame, going by the name "SDP 9mm" in-game.

=Submachine Guns=
This section primarily covers two in-game categories, Submachine Guns and Machine Pistols. As they're meant to fight in close quarters, SMGs are primarily used by the defenders, although a few are available to attackers. None are used by AI enemies in Terrorist Hunt.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] is available to the GIGN Defenders. It can be equipped with an extended barrel that turns it into a fully-automatic PS90 carbine. Its one of the few SMGs capable of using an ACOG sight.

==Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI]] is also usable by the GIGN operators Doc and Rook, and the (unofficial) GIGR operator Oryx. It appears as the "MP5". Its one of the few SMGs capable of using an ACOG sight.
[[file:Heckler-Koch-MP5-MLI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI - updated with a triple-rail forearm, a quick-release-mount, and the new RAL8000 color scheme - 9x19mm]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW]] is available in the game. Its used by SAS operator Mute, NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai, and the updated Defender Recruit. Unlike the MP5 MLI and MP5SD, it is not capable of using an ACOG sight.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] is issued to the GSG-9 Defender Bandit. It has a 30 round magazine capacity despite being modeled with the 40 round magazine. At launch, the charging handle was for some reason modeled to be permanently in its pulled back position, even visible on HUD icons; this error was fixed in "Operation Black Ice" update. In of the Dust Line update, the carabiner clipped to the rear sling mount was removed in favor of a "charm" mount instead. A special version was added in Year 5 Season 3 Operation Shadow Legacy, available to operative [[:Category:Tom_Clancy#Splinter Cell|Zero]].

==Heckler & Koch UMP45==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] is used by the FBI Defenders. The charging handle incorrectly locks back on its own when the magazine is emptied, similar to the MP5 in ''[[Far Cry 3]]'' and ''[[Far Cry 4]]''. It has a three-round burst mode; the real UMP45 only has a two-round burst mode.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz-SN==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] appears as the "9×19VSN" and is available to Spetsnaz defenders Tachanka and Kapkan, as well as the Recruit on defense. It is heavily customized with Zenitco furniture, including a B-13 optic mount that remains permanently on the weapon, optic on or off.

==MAC-10==
A [[MAC-10]] with the upper receiver of a MasterPiece Arms MPA10SST appears as the "SMG-11," as in ''[[Watch_Dogs]]''. The shape of the ejection port denotes it as the .45 ACP version. It is one of the few secondary SMGs available, and is used by all SAS members except Thatcher, as well as Peruvian Operator Amaru. The Recruit defender can also use the MAC-10.

The weapon uses a 30-round magazine, but for balancing reasons it only has half that at 16 rounds.

==="SMG-12"===
The "SMG-12" is a sidearm available to the Korean 707th SMB Operators and US Secret Service Operator Warden. It appears to be a further development of the SAS's "SMG-11". It appears to have the general receiver design of the MasterPiece Arms MPA935SST, the trigger guard of the MasterPiece Arms MPA930DMG, a wire stock, and a large KeyMod foreend with rail bits. It was initially integrally suppressed, although this feature was removed in the first Year 3 patch.

While weaker than the SMG-11 due to its smaller cartridge; it has the benefit of having a 32-round magazine and the ability to use an angled foregrip to increase ADS speed.

==Magpul FMG-9==
The [[Magpul FMG-9]] is available in the game, and is used by SAS operator Smoke and the SAS Defender Recruit. It has also recently been available to Jaeger Corps operator Nøkk who is on the attacker's side, making it the second available primary SMG available to attackers, after Jackal's UDP-9.

The weapon performs similarly to the MP5-K, but with worse damage drop-off at range. A strange fact when you consider that the FMG-9 has a longer barrel than the MP5K.

==C1 Submachine Gun==
The [[Sterling SMG|C1 Submachine Gun]], the Canadian variant of the Sterling Mk.4 Submachine Gun, has been available in the game since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released. It is referred to as the "9mm C1", and is exclusive to the JTF-2 Defender Frost. The in-game weapon seems to be modeled after the MGC replica for the C1, and includes its unique round front sight.

The weapon can be equipped with a suppressor or extended barrel that turns it into a carbine. Additionally, its one of the few SMGs that can't use a vertical grip and can only use an angled foregrip (although due to its low recoil and slow firing rate; it still remains stable even at full auto).

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] is one of the weapons available to the Navy SEAL operator Valkyrie and the Secret Service operator Warden, simply referred to in-game as the "MPX". It is a cross between the prototype version and the Gen 1 model, as it has the left-side receiver components of the former, but with the right-side receiver components, 8" barrel, and telescoping stock of the latter.

[[File:RSS MPX (2).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Neither one of them has quite figured out how to use the bolt release paddle though. As an additional trivia, Warden has unique sprint animations for all of his weapons, different from the standard gun to the side sprint animation. For most weapons, including the MPX, he sprints with the gun in one hand, pointed upwards. For his other primary, the M590A1, he sprints with the gun sideways and tilted. Here we can see the ejection port, mag release and ambidextrous bolt catch of an MPX Gen 1.]]

==Beretta PM12S==
The [[Beretta M12]], with the stock extended, is one of the weapons available to the BOPE defender Caveira. As with other open bolt weapons in-game, it is incorrectly portrayed as having an additional round in the chamber.

The weapon can be equipped with a long carbine-length barrel.

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD|Heckler & Koch MP5SD2]] is one of the weapons available to the SAT Defender Echo, simply referred to in-game as the "MP5SD". The weapon performs similarly to the MP5 MLI, but is equipped with a built-in suppressor that does not reduce its damage.

==Minebea M-9==
The [[Minebea M-9]] is one of the few secondary SMGs available and usable by both Japanese SAT Operators: Hibana and Echo. It is referred to as the "Bearing 9".

==Angstadt Arms UDP-9==
The [[Angstadt Arms UDP-9]] is available in the game with the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is referred to as the "PDW9", and is used by the GEO operator Jackal, initially the only primary SMG available to the attacking side until the introduction of Nøkk who is armed with an FMG-9. It feeds from KCI 50-round 9mm Glock drum magazines (also known by other imported rebranded names such as SGM Tactical drum mags) and has a Rainier Arms ambidextrous charging handle. It has a burst mode in-game, which the real UDP-9 lacks.

==KRISS Vector==
A Gen I / Gen II hybrid [[KRISS Vector]] is available in the game with the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is referred to as the "Vector .45 ACP" (the same name it goes by in the ''Far Cry'' games), and is available to GEO operator Mira and Mexican Fuerzas Especiales operator Goyo. It holds 25 + 1 rounds, and has an additional 2-round burst firing mode like in reality.

==="V308"===
A fictional 7.62x51mm NATO version appears as the primary choice for GIGN CBRN specialist Lion, of the Operation Chimera expansion. It bears a strong resemblance to the sci-fi weapon design "HK G56" by concept artist AlexJJessup, and uses an X Products type drum magazine, similar to the X-91 already used by the G8A1 in-game, though this one is adapted for the fictional .308 Vector magwell and is more correctly proportioned. It is referred to as the "V308".

==Jianshe CS/LS2==
The [[QCW-05#Jianshe CS/LS2|Jianshe CS/LS2]] is one of the weapons available to the SDU Defender Lesion. It is referred to as the "T-5 SMG", and like several other open bolt guns is depicted with an incorrect closed bolt operation in ''Siege''.

==CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine==
The [[CZ_Scorpion_Evo_3_series#CZ_Scorpion_Evo_3_A1|CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine]], a civilian variant of the Scorpion Evo 3 A1, is one of the primary weapons available to the GROM Defender Ela. Unlike its real-world counterpart, (a civilian semi-auto carbine), it fires full-auto in-game like a standard Evo 3 A1; interestingly, it is modeled with the correct fire selector for such a weapon, rather than the 2-position safe-semi selector of the S1. It uses magazines fitted with CZ Custom magazine extensions; this initially gave them a correct (and, as many players complained, completely overpowered) capacity of 50 rounds, but this was later reduced to 40, for balance reasons. It also sports a HB Industries THETA trigger and charging handle in a bright green color, and the extended receiver features Picatinny rails on the M-LOK slots.

==Beretta Mx4 Storm==
The [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]] is a submachine-gun available to Italian GIS operator: Alibi, who was added during Operation Para Bellum.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9-N==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9|Brügger & Thomet MP9-N]] is one of the sidearms available to SCO19 (and GSUTR) operator Clash (her primary weapon is the CCE Shield, meaning that she only has firearms as secondary options), added in Operation Grim Sky and NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali. It is referred to as the "SPSMG9", uses 20-round magazines, features a permanently attached red dot sight, and is locked in two-round burst fire mode.

A future update removed the two-round burst and allowed it to fire on full-auto, making it a true secondary machine pistol.

==Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS==
The [[Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS]] is one of the weapons available to the Moroccan GIGR Defender Kaid added in Operation Wind Bastion. It is referred to as the "AUG A3". It bizarrely has a capacity of 31 + 1.

==Colt 9mm Submachine Gun==
The [[Colt 9mm Submachine Gun]], specifically the R0991 model, is available as a primary option for the Australian defensive operator Mozzie added in Operation Burnt Horizon. It is modeled with a fixed stock, similarly to the R6430 model. It is referred to in-game as the "Commando 9", and holds 25 + 1 rounds. Bizarrely, it is currently incorrectly classified as an assault rifle, like the HK416-C (and unlike the K1A), even though it doesn't even have the stats to match its classification.

=Rifles & Carbines=
With the exception of the HK416C and Daewoo K1A, these weapons are only usable by Attackers in Multiplayer. This large category of weapons is also sub-divided into Assault Rifles and Marksman Rifles in-game, the latter of which all fire semi-auto only.

==AK-12==
The 2012 prototype variation of the [[AK-12]] is issued to operators Fuze and Ace. The Spetsnaz recruit had access to the AK-12 in older versions of the game.

==Enfield L85A2==
The [[L85A2|Enfield L85A2]] is available in the game, and issued to all SAS Attackers and the Recruit class. Despite having a long, railed handguard, it is not capable of using an angled foregrip.

It is also the primary weapon of the "White Mask" terrorists in the Terrorist Hunt mode. Why they chose to use a assault rifle, made in limited numbers, near-unobtainable spare parts, and plagued with a variety of design issues even after its improvement, as their service weapon, is as much as a mystery as the White Masks' relevance in Siege in general.

==FAMAS F1==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears in the game as the "F2" and originally incorrectly held 30 rounds in 25-round magazines. The magazine capacity was changed to 25 during a mid-season balance patch in Year 4 Season 3, nerfing the gun while making its magazine capacity accurate to real life. It is only available to Operator Twitch, after the Recruit reworked removed the faction based Recruit system.

==Heckler & Koch G36C==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36C]] is available in the game, and used by FBI SWAT operator Ash and REU operator Iana.

The gun was frequently overlooked due to its complete inferiority to her other weapon: the R4C, until a later patch made it that the G36C is the only gun in Ash's arsenal that can use an ACOG optic (which grants a very valuable x2.5 view magnification).
[[file:Hkg36c.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Heckler & Koch G36C - 5.56x45mm]]

==Heckler & Koch HK33A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK33A2]] appears as the "AR33", and is used by SAS Operator Thatcher. It uses a 30-round magazine, though it only holds 25 rounds. It has a permanently attached optic rail, a rail on the bottom of the handguard, and a "charm mount" was on the left side of the stock, above the stock pins, but was updated to be on the rearward most claw on the optic mount. The rear sight is removed when using optics.

==Heckler & Koch HK416C==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] is appears as the "416-C Carbine". Prior to the "White Noise" update that added the Daewoo K1A for Vigil, it was the only assault rifle usable on the Defender's side; issued to Jäger and the original GSG-9 Recruits.

The weapon can be equipped with a 14.5 inch extended barrel, which would technically make it a standard HK416.

==Heckler & Koch HK417==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] is available to Twitch and GIGN CBRN specialist Lion. It is intended to be used as a DMR, as it is restricted to semi-auto only. It is also modeled with a 20-round magazine, which is rendered solid instead of transparent, but at release it had the in-game capacity of only 10 rounds; this was buffed and fixed to the correct 20 rounds in Operation Ember Rise.

==Remington R4-C==
A [[Remington R4|Remington R4-C]] appears simply as the "R4-C" and is available exclusively to Operator Ash. It is modeled with a Magpul MOE pistol grip, CTR buttstock, and Remington RAHG modular forend with rail sections permanently installed. The weapon's charm mount is located in the middle of the receiver, close to the top rail.

To encourage loadout variety, the R4-C is the only attacker assault rifle in the game not able to mount an ACOG sight (which provides a x2.5 magnified view, a very sought-after feature in the game).

==SIG SG 552==
The [[SIG SG 552]] is appears as the "552 Commando". Like in [[Rainbow Six: Vegas|previous]] [[Rainbow Six: Vegas 2|games]], it has a 30 round magazine capacity despite being modeled with the 20 round magazine. It can be seen in terrorist hands in the Terrorist Hunt mode. The SG 552 is used only by GSG-9 attacker IQ.

==SIG-Sauer SIG556xi SWAT==
The [[SIG SG 556|SIG-Sauer SIG556xi SWAT]] with a full-auto lower and a 16" barrel is available to operative Thermite.

A fun little trivia: in the "Inside Rainbow" trailer series showcasing the CTUs, Glaz is seen using the weapon in the the SAS, FBI SWAT, and GIGN trailers. The model is slightly different, with more segments on the handguard and R4-C-styled diamond iron sights, and is also incredibly broken - it sounds like an OTs-03 when fired, and Glaz's hand isn't even on the trigger when firing. He got the proper SVU model by the release of the GSG-9 and the Spetsnaz trailers.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with the carrying handle removed, a KAC RIS handguard, Colt Canada-type M4 stock, and using Magpul PMAGs with Ranger plates has been available for JTF-2 operator Buck since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released. It is referred to incorrectly as the "[[C8 SFW]]", but is identifiable as a 933 by its 11.5" barrel. It also incorrectly has a cut in the barrel for an [[M203 grenade launcher]].

It is equipped with a M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System, which is actually Buck's special gadget, the "Skeleton Key". Details of it can be seen below.

==C1A1==
The [[FN_FAL#L1A1|C1A1]], the Canadian variant of the L1A1 SLR, is Buck's second primary weapon choice from the Operation Black Ice expansion. It is referred to as the "CAMRS", and is fitted with an L1A1 SLR's synthetic stock and handguard. Like the "C8-SFW", Buck's special gadget the "Skeleton Key" (a M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System) is attached to the weapon, details of which can be seen below.

It is only capable of semi-auto fire, accurate for a C1A1.

==FN SCAR-H CQC==
The [[FN SCAR-H CQC]] has been available in the game since the Operation Dust Line expansion was released, for Navy SEAL operator Blackbeard. It is referred to as the "Mk17 CQB".

The weapon is powerful, but is plagued by having the slowest ADS speed of any assault rifle in the game.

==DSA SA58 OSW Carbine==
A [[FN FAL#DSA SA58 OSW|DSA SA58 OSW Carbine]] is the main battle rifle available to BOPE operator Capitão, under the name of "PARA-308". It has a worn tan finish and holds 30 rounds per magazine; the magazine depicted in-game is too short for that, but is also too long to be 20-rounder - 25 rounds would be a good guess.

==Colt Canada C7==
The [[M16_rifle_series#Diemaco_C7.2FColt_Model_715|Colt Canada C7]] is used exclusively by GEO Operator "Jackal" who was added with the "Operation Velvet Shell" DLC. The weapon in-game is modeled after the C7NLD, an officially dubbed, custom variant of the C7 used by the Armed Forces of the Netherlands. Along with the Dutch handguard, it is fitted with a Magpul PRS, uses PMAGs with Ranger Plates, and has the same charging handle as the UDP-9. It is named the "C7E" in-game, and is incorrectly depicted as having both fully-automatic and burst-fire modes.

==Daewoo K1A==
A customized [[Daewoo K1A]] is available for 707th SMB operator Vigil with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is referred to as the "K1A" and is classified as a submachine gun; while this isn't correct from a technical standpoint, it is at least correct in the sense that that's how the Korean military classifies it. The gameplay seems to go with the SMG route too, having a damage and recoil profile more similar to other SMGs than the assault rifles.

==Troy Industries Rock SOPMOD M14==
The [[ROCK SOPMOD M14|Troy Industries Rock SOPMOD M14]] is used exclusively by 707th SMB operator Dokkaebi who was added with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is incorrectly designated "Mk 14 EBR" and locked in semi-automatic.

==Beryl M762==
A heavily customized [[Beryl M762]] is the primary choice for GROM operator Zofia of the Operation White Noise expansion, named simply as "M762". It is fitted with the Midwest Industries Extended Handguard, a Hera Arms CQR stock, and a railed dust cover in lieu of its standard rail assembly. The assortment of customizations is primarily inspired by a [http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/12/30/hera-arms-cqr-stock-ak-rifle/ photoshopped AK] reported by The Firearms Blog, which is an [https://www.flickr.com/photos/stickgunner/21074884113/ AK-103-lookalike with the Midwest Industries Gen 1 SS-Extended Handguard] with the Hera Arms CQR stock photoshopped in.

==Saritch==
A compact version of the [[Saritch]] design concept is the primary choice for Spetsnaz CBRN specialist Finka, of the Operation Chimera expansion. This design is one conceived military version of the Saritch proposed by its designer but never mocked up, with 30-round magazines, automatic fire and a compact barrel; the in-game model resembles the medium-length 622mm-barrel version shown in the weapon designer's [https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/File:Sartich_document.png concept arts]. A right-facing ejection port has been added to the weapon, and the forearm is replaced with a set of underbarrel rails. It is referred to as the "Spear .308".

==M4A1 Block II==
Available for SFOD-D (and GSUTR) operator Maverick of the Operation Grim Sky expansion, a carbine indexed as the "M4" appears to be a customized [[M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Block II]]. It features a Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II 9.5 inch railed handguard and a 12.5 inch barrel instead of the usual 14.5 inch barrel, along with a tan Command Arms UPG16 modular pistol grip (a copy of the Fab Defense/Mako AG-43), rail covers, and a standard 6-position M4 stock. The weapon is marked "M4A1 Carbine" on the left side of the mag-well where the usual roll marks would be. Equipping the "M4" with the Heavy Barrel attachment gives it a longer 16-inch aftermarket pencil barrel. Attaching this would technically make it a heavily modernized [[Colt Model 653]] instead of a proper Block II.

It incorrectly features semi-auto, 3-round burst, and fully automatic fire modes, even though it has an M4's Safe/Semi/Burst fire selector, while being marked as an M4A1. Additionally, the developers forgot to model a gas block onto the standard or extended barrel, so in reality Maverick's using a bolt-action M4 that's only capable of automatic fire through the power of video game magic.

Maverick's STANAG magazines have improvised magazine assists in the form of Paracord looped into the baseplate and duck-tape around the bottom of the mag. It has a unique suppressor model, which is wrapped in lots of cloth like Caviera's Luison's suppressor, to help remove the mirage from when the can is hot and make it safer to re-tighten it. Equipping the compensator gives it a unique XM177-style moderator.]]

==Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf==
The [[Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf]] is available for the SFOD-D attacker Maverick with the Operation Grim Sky expansion. It is referred to as the "AR-15.50", and is correctly semi-automatic. It is fitted with a Mako Group Recoil Reducing GL-Shock stock, a Mako Group MWG (mag well grip), and a Magpul BAD Lever (which is never used, Maverick instead pulling the charging handle on empty reloads).

The weapon used SureFire 60-round quad-stack magazines at release, but only holds 10 rounds in gameplay - not that this really matters, since the internal geometry of the SureFire magazine would render .50 Beowulf rounds unable to fit anyways. The Operation Burnt Horizon update apparently acknowledged this, replacing the magazine with a more sensible 30-rounder, fitted with a Magpul Ranger Plate; this also fixes the capacity issue, since 30-round STANAG magazines can fit only ten .50 Beowulf rounds.

=="AK-74M"==
The "AK-74M" is an assault rifle available for GIGR operator Nomad of the Operation Wind Bastion expansion. Instead of being an actual [[AK-74M]], the in-game weapon the appears to be an [[AKM]] customized with Magpul MOE pistol grip, stock, hand guard, and a rail mount. Telltale signs of the in-game weapon model being based on an AKM is its ribbed dust cover, original slanted gas block, and its magazine being a waffle-pattern 7.62x39mm magazine (that holds 40 rounds) instead of 5.45×39mm that the AK-74M actually uses.

The right side of the in-game weapon features a white piece near the stock, which exists on the real AK-74M as a component of its side-folding stock. Despite this, the in-game weapon does not have a folding stock, and even lacks the corresponding button on the other side of the receiver for the AK-74M's folding stock.

More bizarrely, the lower receiver is marked "WASR-10 Cal. 5.45×39mm"; the [[WASR-10]] is indeed an AK variant, but is 7.62x39mm like the AKM, and is also semi-automatic only while the in-game weapon is select-fire. The in-game receiver also most definitely isn't based on a WASR-10 since it has standard AK dimples which the WASR-10 lacks.

Just to confuse matters further, the Operation Burnt Horizon update replaced the 7.62x39mm magazine model with a 5.45x39mm one, appropriate for an actual AK-74M, but not for anything else that the gun is based on.

The [[Beretta ARX-200]] is available for the GIGR attacker Nomad and REU operator Iana. In comparison to Nomad's frankensteined AKM, the ARX-200 does more damage, at the cost of having higher recoil and lower magazine size.

=="SC3000K"==
An [[FN F2000 Tactical]] with a slightly modified design and rechambered in .300 Blackout was added in the game in the Operation Shadow Legacy expansion as the "SC3000K". It is used by the Operator Zero, who is Sam Fisher from the ''[[Tom Clancy#Splinter Cell|Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell]]'' series. The weapon itself is a nod to the many F2000s (many times with fictional modifications) used by Sam Fisher throughout the ''Splinter Cell'' series, all of them having the fictional series name of "SC-number-K" (starting from the "SC-20K" in the original ''[[Splinter Cell]]'').

=Machine Guns=
With exception to the mounted DP-28 (technically a special gadget) and Maestro's CETME Ameli, Machine Guns are issued only to Attackers. As with the MAC-11, most open bolt machine guns incorrectly track +1 in the chamber.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
The Spetsnaz operator Tachanka's primary weapon is a [[DP-28]], designated in-game as DP-27. At the release of the game, the DP was Tachanka's gadget, mounted onto tripod and able to be manned by anyone, even by enemies in unfortunate situations, and his primary weapons were the Vityaz and Saiga. In this tripod-mounted form it was called the "RP-46" in game, though this is the designation for the belt-fed, pistol-gripped version of the DP. Tachanka himself referred to it as the "DP-28." Its magazines hold an erroneous 70 rounds. During its life as a mounted weapon, it incorrectly tracked the round in the chamber, but after being reworked into his primary weapon, it's correctly depicted as open-bolt, and the extra round was given to Tachanka's ammo reserve.

A patch released in December 2016 added a reinforced glass shield to the turret (modeled after [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gun_shield_1805.jpg this particular shield], and marked with the Russian word for "Lord" acknowledging the Lord Tachanka meme), making its usage somewhat more viable. In "Operation: Blood Orchid," it was changed so that Tachanka kept the magazine loaded in the weapon when moving it instead of unloading and loading it every time, making it faster to move around.

The 2020 October update made the DP-28 man-portable, as Tachanka's new primary weapon.

==Heckler & Koch HK23/HK13 Hybrid==
A hybrid of the 5.56mm belt-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK23]] and the 5.56mm mag-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns|Heckler & Koch HK13]] appears in ''Rainbow Six Siege''. The magazine well is a key feature of the HK13, but the receiver design, with its longer ejection port and a large, tubular brass deflector, is almost never found on the mag-fed HK machine guns, and instead comes from the belt-fed HK machine guns like the HK23. It has a [[G3]] rear sight and added rails.

It appears under the name "G8A1", the German designation of the 7.62mm mag-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK11]], even though its magazine well is rather clearly in 5.56mm, appearing more or less identical to the one on Thatcher's HK33. Despite the magazine well, the magazine used are 7.62mm X Products X-91 50-round drum magazines, apparently scaled down to fit into the 5.56mm magazine well.

The weapon is available in the game for IQ and Peruvian Operator Amaru introduced in Year 4 Season 3 Operation Ember Rise.

==PKP Pecheneg==
A [[PKP Pecheneg]] with an aftermarket bullpup conversion kit manufactured by Zenit is used by the Spetsnaz attacker Fuze and Spetsnaz CBRN specialist Finka.

==M249 SAW==
The second option for BOPE attacker Capitão is the [[FN Minimi|M249 SAW]]. It has a newer FN Minimi Mk 3 collapsible stock and sports a worn beige finish by default, similar to his SA58 OSW. Until Operation Blood Orchid, it incorrectly tracked a round in the chamber. The reworked Recruit also has access to the belt-fed SAW.

Later, in Operation Burnt Horizon, Australian attacker Gridlock has a near-identical M249 as a primary weapon option, albeit without the beige finish. Hers somewhat bafflingly uses a 60-round SureFire quad-stack magazine shoved into the emergency STANAG magazine well, rather than a belt; while this isn't strictly ''impossible'', the M249's magwell is notoriously unreliable, and belts are preferred whenever possible. It has access to a unique scope attachment, which works like the pistol scope on the Auto Mag Pistol.

==Norinco QJB-95==
The [[Norinco QBZ-95|Norinco QJB-95]] is available in the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is indexed as the "T-95 LSW", and is usable by the SDU attacker Ying. The weapon's description inaccurately states that it fires 5.56mm rounds, even though the weapon model is clearly based on the 5.8x42mm version. The QJB-95 is also modeled with several T97.ca upgrades from civilian Type-97 rifles, such as the Flat-Top Upper, Enhanced Trigger Group, and Lower Hand Guard upgrades.

==Krytac Trident LMG-E==
The same airsoft gun based on the [[Ares Shrike]] from ''[[Ghost Recon: Wildlands]]'' appears in ''Siege'' under the designation of "LMG-E". The "LMG-E" is used exclusively by GROM operator Zofia, of the Operation White Noise expansion.

==CETME Ameli==
The [[CETME Ameli]] is added in Operation Para Bellum as the "ALDA 5.56". Being a primary option for Defense Operator Maestro, it is the only portable LMG available to Defenders.
[[Image:CetmeAmeli556.jpg|thumb|none|500px|CETME Ameli - 5.56x45mm]]

[[File:R6S Ameli Reload 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attaching a new 80 round belt box onto the gun. There are a few things unusual with this belt box: the CETME Ameli only has 100 or 200-round belt boxes in reality, and the in-game 80-round belt box has a similar shape to the 200-round one, but is much smaller and slimmer. The in-game belt box also opens to the right rather than to the left like on the real belt boxes. Due to the right-sided belt box opening, Maestro uses an unorthodox process where he locks the first round in position (as pictured here) and then pulls the box out to attach it to the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the standard "attach the belt box first and then pull out the belt" procedure.]]

=Shotguns=
Shotguns are available to both sides in Multiplayer. Given the game's emphasis on micro-destruction, they make great assets in "redecorating" the interiors throughout the game's levels, except for the ones that fire slugs.
==Benelli M4 Super 90==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] is available in the game, and goes by its US Military designation of M1014. Although in-game, the M4 holds 7+1 rounds, it is modeled with a 4-round civilian magazine-tube. The Benelli M4 is usable by every FBI operator except Ash.

==FABARM SDASS Compact==
A [[Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6|FABARM SDASS Compact]] with ghost ring sights of the "Tactical" model appears as the "SG-CQB". It can be used by every GIGN operator sans Montagne, who favors "Le Rock," a massive riot shield in exchange of a primary weapon. It is the only pump-action shotgun that can be fitted with a foregrip, and weapon animations change correspondingly when the grip is used.

==Saiga-12K==
A heavily customized [[Saiga 12|Saiga-12K]], most closely resembling ones customized by the Hatcher Gun Company, appears as the "SASG-12" (which ''[[The Division]]'' followed suit with). It has a RIS foregrip with an aftermarket front sight and an AK-12 rear sight mounted on top, an aftermarket trigger-guard, Hogue pistol grip, and a CAA CBS AR-15 stock. It uses 8-round box magazines. The Saiga-12 is used primarily by Spetsnaz defenders, though Finka may use it as well.

The weapon is the most powerful semi-automatic shotgun available that uses buckshot, but is offset by having the highest recoil aswell.

==Mossberg 590A1 Blackwater==
The [[Mossberg 590A1|Mossberg 590A1 Blackwater]] is available in the game, issued to the SAS and the Secret Service operator Warden. The M590A1 is also somewhat used by terrorists in the Terrorist Hunt mode, though they usually carry assault rifles. Although in-game, the M590A1 hold 7 rounds, it is modeled with a 9-round magazine-tube.

The weapon lacks damage, but offers decent RoF and recoil control.

==Remington 870 (G&P M870 RAS)==
A short-barreled [[Remington 870]] equipped with a Command Arms UPG16 modular pistol grip, 6-postion M4 stock, bolted-on extended top rail, and flip-up iron sights is available to the reworked Defender recruits, and both the GSG-9 Defender operators Jäger and Bandit. It is closely modeled after the G&P M870 RAS, an airsoft Remington 870.

The weapon is the second most powerful shotgun in the game, although somewhat "balanced" by the fact that its efficiency diminishes greatly beyond point-blank range.

==Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty==
The [[Benelli M3 Super 90|Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty]] has been available in the game since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released, for JTF-2 defender Frost. It is referred to as the "Super 90," and operates exclusively in semi-automatic mode.

==M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System==
The JTF-2 operator Buck uses the [[M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System]] as his gadget, equipped to whatever primary weapon (i.e. "C8-SFW" or "CAMRS") he is using. It is named the Skeleton Key, an obvious allusion to the [[Knight's Armament Masterkey]]'s name, and also a likely nod to how the fictional Skeleton Key can open any door, paired with the fact the M26 was designed to be a door-breaching (or wall-breaching as the design is applied in ''Siege'') shotgun. It has a very large spread that limits its use in combat and at range, but is ''very'' destructive, able to create giant peek holes on walls with ease when combined with its spread. Like in [[Rainbow Six: Vegas|previous]] [[Rainbow Six: Vegas 2|games]], the M26 in the game is semi-automatic, while the real one is a straight-pull bolt action.

==Franchi SPAS-12==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] is used by Navy SEAL operator Valkyrie and GIGR operator Oryx. As with the Benelli M3, it operates only in semi-automatic mode.

==Franchi SPAS-15==
The last addition of the Operation Skull Rain update is the SPAS-12's successor, the [[Franchi SPAS-15]], used exclusively by BOPE operator Caviera. It is depicted as semi-automatic only, and properly utilizes its bolt catch mechanism.

==Benelli Supernova==
The [[Benelli Supernova]] was added in the Operation Red Crow expansion, and is available to both SAT Operators, and the Peruvian Operator Amaru added in Y4S3. Its low damage and slow cycling speed takes a toll on its damage output, but offers excellent recoil control.

==FABARM STF 12==
Two variants of the [[FABARM STF 12]] are introduced in Operation Velvet Shell, the Pistolgrip F.E. (without the muzzle brake) as the primary "ITA12L" and the Short Initial as the secondary "ITA12S". The ITA12S was the only secondary shotgun available in the game until the release of the "Super Shorty" in Operation Burnt Horizon of 2019. Both variants are available for both G.E.O. operators introduced in Operation Velvet Shell, while the secondary ITA12S is also available to Peruvian Operator Amaru introduced in Operation Ember Rise.

==Crye Precision Six12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12]] is available for both SDU operators introduced in Operation Blood Orchid, and comes in two variants, the standard variant as "SIX12" for Attack operator Ying and the integrally suppressed as "SIX12 SD" for Defense operator Lesion. Danish Jaeger Corps Operator Nøkk, added in Y4S2, also uses the SIX12 SD.

==Fostech Origin-12==
The [[Fostech Origin-12]] is available in the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is referred to as the "FO-12", and is used by the GROM defender Ela. The weapon currently has the highest RoF out of any semi-automatic shotgun in the game and can also be equipped with a long-barrel to increase its damage over distances.

=="BOSG.12.2"==
The "BOSG.12.2" (BOSG presumably standing for Break-Open Shotgun, compare with how "SASG" likely stands for Semi-Auto Shotgun) is a tactical over/under shotgun that is usable by the 707th SMB operators introduced in the Operation White Noise expansion. It shares many design elements with the [[Mossberg HS12|Mossberg Maverick HS-12]] and Stoeger Double Defense Over and Under shotguns. It fires slug shells, unlike the other shotguns in the game. These slugs are extremely powerful and accurate, even at longer ranges. Plus its ability to fire both barrels in quick succession allows it to devastate operators once hit. Although, as a trade-off, its 2-round capacity and long reload time heavily punishes missed shots, plus its ability to damage the environment is limited.

During public testing, the weapon was originally capable of penetrating the bulletproof windows of the executive jet in the "Presidential Plane" map, something only Glaz's SVU can do, but this ability was later removed in the official release.

==AA-12==
Added in Operation Para Bellum, the "ACS12" is a modified [[AA-12]], and can be used by Maestro and Alibi alike. Its standard iron sights are missing, the weapon instead being fitted with a G36C-like top rail system for mounting optics, a corresponding low-profile extended charging handle, and a handguard seemingly inspired by the [[Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle]]'s Kydex handguard, with rail segments on its sides and bottom. It uses 20 or 32-round drum magazines in-game, which incorrectly hold 30 rounds (plus an incorrect 1 in the chamber, Ubisoft either not realizing or caring that the AA-12 is open-bolt).

Of note is that the addition of the "ACS-12" marks the appearance of ''Siege'''s first (and so far only) fully-automatic shotgun, which also makes it the single most destructive weapon in terms of environmental destruction, able to eat through an entire wall in seconds. Balancing out its full-auto capability is its very big spread and the lowest damage of any shotgun in the game, but that's just another plus when you're busy bulldozing entire rooms because it allows more destruction per shot.

Incidentally, the name "ACS-12" was first used for this weapon in a previous Ubisoft game, ''[[Splinter Cell: Blacklist]]''. Presumably Ubisoft has its own dictionary for non-trademark-infringing weapon names for its allegedly interconnected video game universe spanning multiple franchises.

==Akdal Arms MKA 1919==
A heavily customized Turkish-made [[Akdal Arms MKA 1919]] semi-automatic shotgun is available with the Operation Wind Bastion Expansion. The customizations include the lower receiver being modified to fit a [[Bushmaster ACR]] stock and Magpul MOE pistol grip, a modified Chaos quad-rail hand guard, a shortened 13" barrel with appropriately modified gas-system, the front sight repinned to the barrel, an enlarged charging handle and bolt-release paddle, and custom 10-round magazines.

Simply dubbed "TCSG12" in-game, the weapon is used by GIGR defender Kaid and Mexican FES defender Goyo. The shotgun only fires slugs, just like the "BOSG-12.2", and is the first slug-firing shotgun to have an ACOG sight, turning it into the defenders' only pseudo-DMR primary, more than anything else. The weapon's only barrel attachment is the suppressor.

==Remington 870 MCS==
While referred to as a "[[Serbu Super Shorty|Super Shorty]]", the secondary shotgun made available to both Australian operators in Operation Burnt Horizon is actually a [[Remington 870 MCS]], in the short-barreled "Masterkey" configuration, as evidenced by the MCS's distinctive forend (compared to the Super Shorty's folding foregrip).

An update made the 870 MCS Masterkey available as a replacement for M45 in FBI operator Castle's loadout, and it is also an available secondary for the reworked Recruit attackers.

=Sniper Rifles=
==SVU Dragunov==
The [[SVU Dragunov]] appears as the "OTs-03", and is used by the Spetsnaz operator Glaz. The weapon has the best surface-penetrating capabilities of any weapon, being capable of piercing a wide variety of surfaces with a minimal loss of damage, and, prior to Operation White Noise and its addition of the "BOSG. 12.2", being the only weapon capable of shooting through airplane windows (specifically the reinforced airplane windows on the map "Presidential Plane", which is also the only place where they appear); after the aforementioned weapon's mechanics were changed, it once again became the only weapon capable of such a feat.

Glaz's unique gadget is the magnifier on the rifle, which can be flipped into or out of the main sight plane; this does not actually require an optical sight to use, with the front iron sight serving as the reticule instead in the absence of other optics. The sight is originally a rather odd red-tinted (or completely clear, as shown in the Spetsnaz trailer) magnifier called the "HDS Flip Sight", which had no effect other than a bit of zoom. In the Velvet Shell Mid-Season Reinforcements, the magnifier lost its red tint and gained a thermal effect, highlighting enemies by their heat signature; this effect, strangely, only applies to a smaller central blue-tinted circle in the magnifier, rather than the entire thing.

A rather neat detail is that after the thermal sight update, the sight model had an extra clip-on thermal imager added to it.

=="CSRX 300"==
NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali uses a fictional custom-built rifle known as the "CSRX 300" as her sole primary weapon. The rifle appears to take design cues from the [[Blaser R93]] and the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] series of rifles, with an underbarrel launcher resembling the [[FN EGLM]]. As the name implies, the rifle is chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. The rifle has a custom scope that allows the player to switch between x4 and x12 zoom. In-game, players shot by the rifle are instantly downed, though the sniper rounds leave tell-tale vapor trails. The underbarrel launcher fires an explosive drilling device that can destroy barricades (including Castle's barricades) and floor hatches, and creates small holes in breachable walls. When penetrating walls, the explosive destroys any placed gadgets within the blast radius.

=Launchers=
Launchers are almost always Operator gadgets. Other launchers of note include Capitão's crossbow, Hibana's X-KAIROS, Zofia's KS79 LIFELINE, Nomad's Airjab Launcher, and Kali's LV Lance not listed here for one reason or another.
==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]], indexed as "M120 CREM," is used by the FBI SWAT operative "Ash". It appears stand-alone in the game with a longer barrel and an under-barrel rail with an attached vertical grip instead of the the built-in folding vertical grip. In-game it fires specialized (and, given the reload animation, seemingly caseless) breaching rounds that drill into destructible surfaces, then explode after a delay in order to ensure maximum penetration. The shell does not explode if it does not hit a breachable surface.

To the relief of some and the disappointment of others, the game's list of "breachable surfaces" does not include enemies, although getting directly struck with the shell deals a moderate amount of damage. While the breaching round itself also has a small blast radius and is not reliable against human targets, getting caught in the explosion of an armed round deals a large amount of damage.

==Kulakov Revolver Grenade Launcher==
The October 2020 Tachanka rework adds a [[Kulakov Revolver Grenade Launcher]] to his arsenal as his new gadget, known as the "Shumikha" in-universe. For whatever reason, the Shumikha fires incendiary grenades instead of high-explosives, and its operation is utterly bizarre: the Mosin's receiver is treated as semi-automatic and the bolt blows back like a gas-operated weapon, despite the real deal (still) being bolt-action, and the magazine of the launcher component itself is not animated, with Tachanka simply cramming in more grenades through the static loading gate when reloading the weapon without indexing the drum at all. The pistol grip is also absent; the stock also seems to be a non-standard partial C-grip style.

As an unintentional bit of irony, the in-game write-up claims that replacing Tachanka's machinegun stand with the Shumikha will lighten his gear load, while one of the main reasons leading up to the Kulakov being rejected in the first place was how heavy and unwieldy it is to use as a standard-issue weapon. To put it into perspective, an unloaded Kulakov weighs significantly more than a fully-loaded DP-28 (15kg vs. 11.5kg), and was designed to be fired with its bipod deployed.

=Grenades & Explosives=
Most equipment in this category are non-exclusive "generic" gadgets available to multiple Operators (alongside things like Barbed Wire and Deployable Shields), though they are still limited to one team.

==C4==
Bundles of C4 charges, somewhat strangely referred to as "Nitro Cells", are available for certain defenders. Unlike other explosives; the C4 sticks to surfaces and is manually detonated with a cellphone.

The weapon is currently the most powerful explosive available, capable of outright killing anyone caught in its 5m blast radius; however, as a heavy explosive, its throwing distance is considerably shorter than that of grenades. It also emits a faint beeping sound once deployed, which can potentially alert attackers to its presence. Much like a real C4, the charge will only explode if its triggered by the user. Attacking it will simply destroy it, and if the user dies before the charge is triggered, the C4 is essentially rendered inert.

==M67 Hand Grenade==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] is given to some attacking operators.

The weapon explodes after 4 seconds and deals high damage, although since the grenade is primarily focused on scattering shrapnel than an explosion: it does smaller environmental damage than the impact grenade. The grenade can be cooked to reduce the chances of an enemy escaping the blast once thrown, but cooking it for longer than 4 seconds will cause it to detonate; killing the wielder and anyone else unlucky enough to be near them.

==M18A1 Claymore Mine==
The [[M18A1 Claymore]] was added in the September 13, 2016 patch 4.2 for attacking operators. The weapon is very powerful, capable of incapacitating or outright killing anything infront of it once it goes off.

Unlike traditional claymores, the mine is triggered with three laser beams arranged in a triangular pattern, that extend upto three meters each. If a defender touches any of the lasers: the mine will explode in a 180-degree radius, with a lethal range of upto 5 meters. Although as a balancing measure, both teams can see the claymore's lasers.

==T13 Beano grenade==
The Impact Grenade was added on September 13, 2016, in patch 4.2. It is a modernized depiction of the WWII-era T13 Beano impact grenade. It is exclusive to defenders and deals limited damage in a small radius of 2.5m (in fact you'd actually have to throw it directly at someone to get any kind of decent damage). However, its small explosion radius and damage means its relatively safe to throw around to create large openings in destructible surfaces for other operators to pass through, in comparison to other explosives.

'''''Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege''''' is a tactical first person shooter available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Players assume the roles of counter-terrorism operators from around the world, and engage in PvP and PvE combat. In regular gameplay, players play as either Attackers or Defenders on maps designed with clearly defined indoor and outdoor regions. Attackers must enter the central structure of the map and complete objectives like defusing bombs, securing a point, or rescuing a hostage, while the Defenders must prevent the Attackers from achieving their objectives and run down the round timer to win. Eliminating the enemy team is also a victory condition. There is also a PvE mode called Terrorist Hunt.

Players play as "Operators", a roster of characters divided between Attackers and Defenders, with each Operator coming from one counter-terrorist unit background. Each Operator carries a unique Operator gadget that defines their abilities and team role (no Operator may be selected twice by the same team). In terms of weaponry, each Operator generally has two primary weapon options (three at most, occasionally one) and one or two secondary options. Generally speaking, Rifles and LMGs are used by Attackers, SMGs are used by Defenders, and Shotguns are mostly used by Defenders though sometimes shared with Attackers. Operators of a CTU generally share their sidearm options and their shotgun option. Each Operator also carries a piece of team-specific universal equipment alongside their unique gadget, choosing one from two options.

Also playable are Recruits, who are generic Operators with no special gadgets, instead taking a second piece of universal equipment in place of it. With one exception, all weapons from any of the five base game CTU's "side" are available to them (e.g. a GSG-9 Defender recruit can use either the MP7 or the HK416C, despite each being otherwise exclusive to one of their two Defender operators). Recruit weapons cannot be customized.

The game also features destructible environments for players to take advantage of, primarily blowing holes in walls for a new entry point to flank opponents, creating windows to defend an area without exposing the player's whole body, or shooting through thin walls to suppress enemies.

Free seasonal expansions were added post-release, with each expansion adding two new Operators from one new CTU, and new weapons for those Operators.

All primary and some secondary weapons in the game have "charm mounts" to which keychain-like charms can be attached, which by default appear as sling loops.

Notably, third person weapon animations are completely identical to their first person counterparts. Ejected fired rounds and dropped magazines are physical objects that bounce against surfaces, and can be seen in both first and third person.

For ease of searching, all weapons on this page are primarily ordered by chronology of addition to the game, with the base game weapons near the top of each weapon category and DLC weapons further down.

'''The following weapons can be seen in the video game ''Rainbow Six Siege'':'''

==FN FNP-9==
The [[FN FNP-9]] is a high capacity, 9x19mm handgun used by the GIGN Operators and the reworked Recruit defender. It is referred to as the "P9". Lion always carries one in a vest holster, in addition to his main sidearm (either another FNP-9 or a Model 586) in his leg holster; the extra pistol is not usable by the player.

==GSh-18 Sport==
The [[GSh-18]] is a sidearm available to the Spetsnaz CTU (the depicted CTU is more specifically Alpha Group of FSB, going under the more generic and well-known Spetsnaz name). As with the two pistols mentioned above, it is the Russians' high capacity, low damage 9x19mm caliber pistol. The particular model used in-game is a GSh-18 Sport, a civilian offering intended for competition shooting, evident by the front cocking serrations and lack of trigger safety.

==Heckler & Koch USP Tactical==
The P12 is the German equipment designation for the [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]], used by the German GSG-9 operatives, reworked Recruits, and NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai. The loadout icon was originally the same as the FNP-9, but in Update 3.2 the USP was given a new proper icon. Magazine capacity is also wrong for a .45 ACP USP Tactical that is used as the P12 in reality; only 10- or 12-round magazines exist for it.

==M45/MEU(SOC)==
The [[M45/MEU(SOC)]] is the other sidearm available to the FBI SWAT operatives. It appears as the "M45 MEUSOC" and feeds from standard seven-round magazines. Compared to their Five-seveN, the MEU(SOC) offers substantially higher stopping power at the expense of having close to only a third of the former's magazine capacity at only 7 rounds.

==Makarov PM==
Though referred to as the improved PMM, the in-game pistol is actually the older [[Makarov PM]], and is issued to the Russian Spetsnaz.
Likely due to balancing, the weapon is ''obscenely'' powerful, its currently the most powerful sidearm in the game, short of magnum handguns like the S&W 586 and the SEALs' Desert Eagle.

==SIG-Sauer P226 Mk 25==
The SAS operators use the [[SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226 Mk 25]] as their default handgun of choice. The choice of this particular model for the SAS is odd, as the military of the UK uses regular P226/P226R pistols under the "L105A1/A2" designation. It also predates the inclusion of a proper US Navy SEAL faction, who, in true tacticool fashion, were given the Desert Eagle as their sidearm instead. Although it should be noted that in-universe, Rainbow is a multinational counter-terrorist group with no set loadouts for their operators, so they would be theoretically free to use whatever armaments they see fit.

==Smith & Wesson Model 586==
The base game's lone revolver, the [[Smith & Wesson Model 586]] is available to the French GIGN. It appears as the "LFP586". This weapon is likely standing in for the [[Manurhin MR-73]] revolver, which is used in real life by the French GIGN. Compared to their FNP-9, the Model 586 offers substantially greater stopping power per shot, but requires prime shot placement and well timed reloads to offset its stout recoil and low capacity. The only accessory available to the 586 is a laser aiming module mounted onto the trigger guard.

Oddly, the revolver has different empty and non-empty reload animations; on a non-empty reload, the user will press the cylinder release with their right thumb and push the cylinder with their left hand from the right side, whereas on an empty reload, they will press the cylinder relase with their left thumb.

==Inglis Hi-Power==
The Inglis Hi-Power, a Canadian-manufactured version of the [[Browning Hi-Power]], is used by the Canadian JTF2 operators Buck and Frost and REU operator Iana. It appears under the strange name "MK1 9mm". The version used by Iana features custom grips.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The classically absurd [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] is used by the Navy SEAL Operators added to the game with the Operation Dust Line expansion, and is also used by the Jaeger Corps operator Nøkk added in the Operation Phantom Sight expansion. Contrary to popular belief, the Desert Eagle has been issued to military forces. The Polish GROM (which appears in the game) as well as the Portuguese Special Operations Group both use the Desert Eagle. It appears as the "D-50", similar to its name in other Ubisoft releases around the same time like ''[[Far Cry 3]]''. Originally released with a chrome default finish, the Operation Velvet Shell update changed the default finish to black.

==Beretta 92==
The [[Beretta 92]] is used by the BOPE Operators from the Operation Skull Rain expansion, labeled in-game as "PRB92." Presumably, these pistols were intended to be vintage [[Taurus PT92]] handguns, but the rounded trigger guard and magazine release located on the butt of the grip are features of the first model Beretta 92. It also has the wider cocking serrations on the slide from the newer PT92 models.

On another note, the defender Caveira wields a unique "Luison" version that comes pre-equipped with a mineral-based suppressor and fires non-lethal, subsonic rounds. Due to balancing, Lusion used to be able to deal ''more'' damage than a .50 caliber handcannon at close range before being nerfed down, where it now only deals slightly more damage than the Spetsnaz' Makarov (which is still a compact handcannon that puts all other non-magnum sidearms to shame). The magazine size of the Luison is also nerfed compared to the standard PRB92, at 12 instead of 15 rounds.

The alleged "non-lethal" rounds seem just as lethal as other pistols, though; its only difference is that it will only incapacitate targets (unless the victim is the last person alive on the enemy team) to allow Caveira a chance to interrogate them and expose the rest of the enemy's positions.]]
[[File:RSS Taurusactual.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the Skull Rain loading screens shows the actual PT92, however, a current production PT92AF to be precise.]]

==SIG-Sauer P229 Elite==
The [[SIG-Sauer P229|P229 Elite]] is used by the SAT Operators from the Operation Red Crow expansion, and also the Mexican FES operator Goyo from the Operation Ember Rise expansion. It appears as simply the "P229". What appears to be a SIG-Sauer P229 is seen on the "Custom Game" icon.

==Norinco QSZ-92==
The 9x19mm variant of the [[Norinco QSZ-92]] is used by the SDU Operators featured in the Operation Blood Orchid DLC, but with a lowered capacity of 10 rounds instead of 15. It appears as the "Q-929".
[[Image:QSZ-92.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Norinco QSZ-92 - 9x19mm]]

==PR-15 Ragun==
The Polish [[PR-15 Ragun]] was added to the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is referred to as the "RG15", and is used by the GROM defender Ela and GROM attacker Zofia (who was released in Operation White Noise, the following season), and Inkaba Task Force (a fictional anti-poaching unit seemingly inspired by the real-world Black Mambas APU) operator Melusi. It features a permanently-attached SIG ROMEO1 reflex sight which was originally exclusive to this pistol in-game before the inclusion of the Taurus 4510PLYFS with the Italian GIS faction. Interestingly, pre-release renders of Ela showed her instead holding a [[SIG-Sauer P228]] with a red-dot sight.

==CZ 75 Automatic==
The [[CZ 75 Automatic]] using 26 round magazines was added to the game with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is referred to as the "C75 Auto", and is used by the 707th Special Mission Battalion operators Dokkaebi and Vigil, NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali, and reworked Recruits. It is classified as Machine Pistol in-game.

The weapon cannot accept any attachments beyond a silencer, despite having a rail on top of the sights, although it technically does come in with a compensator and vertical grip in the form of the spare magazine mounted on the lower frame (which is not usable for quick reloads and its also empty).
[[Image:Cz75fa.jpg|thumb|350px|none|CZ 75 Automatic - 9x19mm]]

==Taurus 4510PLYFS==

The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] is a sidearm option for Italian GIS Operators Maestro and Alibi and GIGR operator Oryx. It is a .410 shotgun revolver that holds 5 rounds. In ''Siege'', it is called the "Bailiff 410" and comes equipped with a fixed ROMEO1 reflex sight, just as the GROM's PR-15 Ragun does.

==Chiappa Rhino 40DS==
The [[Chiappa Rhino 40DS]], referred to in-game as the "KERATOS .357" ("keratos" being Greek for "horn"), was added in Operation Para Bellum, and can be used by GIS operators Alibi and Maestro, and NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai. It is rather bizarrely depicted as being capable of using a suppressor; with the exception of the [[Nagant M1895]], revolvers fitted with suppressors serve essentially no purpose, as the gases that escape through the gap between the cylinder and barrel would more or less completely negate any noise-reducing effects that the suppressor would otherwise have. This mistake is made even more bizarre by the fact that the game's 2 other revolvers, the [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] and the [[Smith & Wesson Model 586]], are both correctly shown as being unable to use a suppressor.

==SIG-Sauer 1911 TACOPS==
The [[SIG-Sauer 1911|SIG-Sauer 1911 TACOPS]] is the sidearm of Delta Force and GSUTR ("Grim Sky Urban Tactical Response Team", the CTU added in Year 3 Season 3, Operation Grim Sky) Attacker Operator Maverick. It is equipped with Hogue grip panels and a worn tan finish. Compared to the M45 MEUSOC, the 1911 TACOPS does slightly less damage than the M45, but has the benefit of having one more round due to its 8-round magazine (and a total of 9 with one in the chamber).

==CZ P-10 C==
The [[CZ P-10 C]] is one of the sidearms available to the GSUTR and Metropolitan Police Service Defender Operator Clash added in Year 3 Season 3 Operation Grim Sky, as well as Secret Service operator Warden added in Y4S2 Operation Phantom Sight. It features a permanently-attached SIG ROMEO1 red dot sight like the [[PR-15 Ragun]], and a blue flat-faced HB Industries aftermarket trigger.

==AMC Auto Mag==
The two Moroccan GIGR operators added in Operation Wind Bastion (the attacker Nomad and the defender Kaid) both have access to an [[AMC Auto Mag]] as their sole sidearm option. It goes by the rather generic moniker ".44 Mag Semi-Auto" in-game, and is fitted with Duane Short wood grips and a permanently-affixed low-power pistol scope, the only sidearm in the game to have a sight that grants x2.5 magnification.

The Auto Mag is a rather bizarre choice; if the pistol's heavy weight, low magazine capacity, large size (especially with a scope mounted), and sharp recoil don't make it an impractical option for martial use (not unlike the Navy SEALs' equally ridiculous [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]]), then its significant rarity (and correspondingly high price tag) and nigh-on unobtainable proprietary ammunition certainly do. That said, all these factors convinced Ubisoft that the gun is an unparalleled work of craftsmanship and turned it into a pocket DMR.

[[File:R6S_wpn_.44_Mag_Semi-Auto.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The Auto Mag in the inspection screen. Note that the barrel seems to be slightly longer than the one in the reference image (having 4 vents instead of 3), but is not as long as the real gun's alternate 10 inch barrel option, which also lacks the ribs.

==CZ P-09 in CAA Tactical RONI-G2==
Mozzie, the Australian defending operator added in the Operation Burnt Horizon expansion, can wield the "P10 RONI" as a primary weapon option under the submachine gun category; despite having "P10" in the name, it is actually a [[CZ P-09]], converted to full-auto and somehow mounted into a [[CAA Tactical RONI|CAA Tactical RONI-G2]] carbine conversion kit meant for [[Glock]] pistols. It lacks the spare magazine holder and the foregrip is absent by default, though the foregrip is reattached with the Angled Grip and Vertical Grip attachments. It is fitted with Magpul MBUS Gen 2 sights and can be equipped with Battlecomp 2.0 flash hider. It has a unique Holographic Sight modeled after the Vortex Razor UH-1.

==Sphinx SDP Compact Duty==
The pistol sidearm option for both Australian SASR operators added in the Operation Burnt Horizon expansion is the [[Sphinx 3000|Sphinx SDP Compact Duty]] with a "Krypton" (OD green) frame, going by the name "SDP 9mm" in-game.

=Submachine Guns=
This section primarily covers two in-game categories, Submachine Guns and Machine Pistols. As they're meant to fight in close quarters, SMGs are primarily used by the defenders, although a few are available to attackers. None are used by AI enemies in Terrorist Hunt.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] is available to the GIGN Defenders. It can be equipped with an extended barrel that turns it into a fully-automatic PS90 carbine. Its one of the few SMGs capable of using an ACOG sight.

==Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI]] is also usable by the GIGN operators Doc and Rook, and the (unofficial) GIGR operator Oryx. It appears as the "MP5". Its one of the few SMGs capable of using an ACOG sight.
[[file:Heckler-Koch-MP5-MLI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI - updated with a triple-rail forearm, a quick-release-mount, and the new RAL8000 color scheme - 9x19mm]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW]] is available in the game. Its used by SAS operator Mute, NIGHTHAVEN operator Wamai, and the updated Defender Recruit. Unlike the MP5 MLI and MP5SD, it is not capable of using an ACOG sight.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] is issued to the GSG-9 Defender Bandit. It has a 30 round magazine capacity despite being modeled with the 40 round magazine. At launch, the charging handle was for some reason modeled to be permanently in its pulled back position, even visible on HUD icons; this error was fixed in "Operation Black Ice" update. In of the Dust Line update, the carabiner clipped to the rear sling mount was removed in favor of a "charm" mount instead. A special version was added in Year 5 Season 3 Operation Shadow Legacy, available to operative [[:Category:Tom_Clancy#Splinter Cell|Zero]].

==Heckler & Koch UMP45==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] is used by the FBI Defenders. The charging handle incorrectly locks back on its own when the magazine is emptied, similar to the MP5 in ''[[Far Cry 3]]'' and ''[[Far Cry 4]]''. It has a three-round burst mode; the real UMP45 only has a two-round burst mode.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz-SN==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] appears as the "9×19VSN" and is available to Spetsnaz defenders Tachanka and Kapkan, as well as the Recruit on defense. It is heavily customized with Zenitco furniture, including a B-13 optic mount that remains permanently on the weapon, optic on or off.

==MAC-10==
A [[MAC-10]] with the upper receiver of a MasterPiece Arms MPA10SST appears as the "SMG-11," as in ''[[Watch_Dogs]]''. The shape of the ejection port denotes it as the .45 ACP version. It is one of the few secondary SMGs available, and is used by all SAS members except Thatcher, as well as Peruvian Operator Amaru. The Recruit defender can also use the MAC-10.

The weapon uses a 30-round magazine, but for balancing reasons it only has half that at 16 rounds.

==="SMG-12"===
The "SMG-12" is a sidearm available to the Korean 707th SMB Operators and US Secret Service Operator Warden. It appears to be a further development of the SAS's "SMG-11". It appears to have the general receiver design of the MasterPiece Arms MPA935SST, the trigger guard of the MasterPiece Arms MPA930DMG, a wire stock, and a large KeyMod foreend with rail bits. It was initially integrally suppressed, although this feature was removed in the first Year 3 patch.

While weaker than the SMG-11 due to its smaller cartridge; it has the benefit of having a 32-round magazine and the ability to use an angled foregrip to increase ADS speed.

==Magpul FMG-9==
The [[Magpul FMG-9]] is available in the game, and is used by SAS operator Smoke and the SAS Defender Recruit. It has also recently been available to Jaeger Corps operator Nøkk who is on the attacker's side, making it the second available primary SMG available to attackers, after Jackal's UDP-9.

The weapon performs similarly to the MP5-K, but with worse damage drop-off at range. A strange fact when you consider that the FMG-9 has a longer barrel than the MP5K.

==C1 Submachine Gun==
The [[Sterling SMG|C1 Submachine Gun]], the Canadian variant of the Sterling Mk.4 Submachine Gun, has been available in the game since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released. It is referred to as the "9mm C1", and is exclusive to the JTF-2 Defender Frost. The in-game weapon seems to be modeled after the MGC replica for the C1, and includes its unique round front sight.

The weapon can be equipped with a suppressor or extended barrel that turns it into a carbine. Additionally, its one of the few SMGs that can't use a vertical grip and can only use an angled foregrip (although due to its low recoil and slow firing rate; it still remains stable even at full auto).

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] is one of the weapons available to the Navy SEAL operator Valkyrie and the Secret Service operator Warden, simply referred to in-game as the "MPX". It is a cross between the prototype version and the Gen 1 model, as it has the left-side receiver components of the former, but with the right-side receiver components, 8" barrel, and telescoping stock of the latter.

[[File:RSS MPX (2).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Neither one of them has quite figured out how to use the bolt release paddle though. As an additional trivia, Warden has unique sprint animations for all of his weapons, different from the standard gun to the side sprint animation. For most weapons, including the MPX, he sprints with the gun in one hand, pointed upwards. For his other primary, the M590A1, he sprints with the gun sideways and tilted. Here we can see the ejection port, mag release and ambidextrous bolt catch of an MPX Gen 1.]]

==Beretta PM12S==
The [[Beretta M12]], with the stock extended, is one of the weapons available to the BOPE defender Caveira. As with other open bolt weapons in-game, it is incorrectly portrayed as having an additional round in the chamber.

The weapon can be equipped with a long carbine-length barrel.

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD|Heckler & Koch MP5SD2]] is one of the weapons available to the SAT Defender Echo, simply referred to in-game as the "MP5SD". The weapon performs similarly to the MP5 MLI, but is equipped with a built-in suppressor that does not reduce its damage.

==Minebea M-9==
The [[Minebea M-9]] is one of the few secondary SMGs available and usable by both Japanese SAT Operators: Hibana and Echo. It is referred to as the "Bearing 9".

==Angstadt Arms UDP-9==
The [[Angstadt Arms UDP-9]] is available in the game with the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is referred to as the "PDW9", and is used by the GEO operator Jackal, initially the only primary SMG available to the attacking side until the introduction of Nøkk who is armed with an FMG-9. It feeds from KCI 50-round 9mm Glock drum magazines (also known by other imported rebranded names such as SGM Tactical drum mags) and has a Rainier Arms ambidextrous charging handle. It has a burst mode in-game, which the real UDP-9 lacks.

==KRISS Vector==
A Gen I / Gen II hybrid [[KRISS Vector]] is available in the game with the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is referred to as the "Vector .45 ACP" (the same name it goes by in the ''Far Cry'' games), and is available to GEO operator Mira and Mexican Fuerzas Especiales operator Goyo. It holds 25 + 1 rounds, and has an additional 2-round burst firing mode like in reality.

==="V308"===
A fictional 7.62x51mm NATO version appears as the primary choice for GIGN CBRN specialist Lion, of the Operation Chimera expansion. It bears a strong resemblance to the sci-fi weapon design "HK G56" by concept artist AlexJJessup, and uses an X Products type drum magazine, similar to the X-91 already used by the G8A1 in-game, though this one is adapted for the fictional .308 Vector magwell and is more correctly proportioned. It is referred to as the "V308".

==Jianshe CS/LS2==
The [[QCW-05#Jianshe CS/LS2|Jianshe CS/LS2]] is one of the weapons available to the SDU Defender Lesion. It is referred to as the "T-5 SMG", and like several other open bolt guns is depicted with an incorrect closed bolt operation in ''Siege''.

==CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine==
The [[CZ_Scorpion_Evo_3_series#CZ_Scorpion_Evo_3_A1|CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine]], a civilian variant of the Scorpion Evo 3 A1, is one of the primary weapons available to the GROM Defender Ela. Unlike its real-world counterpart, (a civilian semi-auto carbine), it fires full-auto in-game like a standard Evo 3 A1; interestingly, it is modeled with the correct fire selector for such a weapon, rather than the 2-position safe-semi selector of the S1. It uses magazines fitted with CZ Custom magazine extensions; this initially gave them a correct (and, as many players complained, completely overpowered) capacity of 50 rounds, but this was later reduced to 40, for balance reasons. It also sports a HB Industries THETA trigger and charging handle in a bright green color, and the extended receiver features Picatinny rails on the M-LOK slots.

==Beretta Mx4 Storm==
The [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]] is a submachine-gun available to Italian GIS operator: Alibi, who was added during Operation Para Bellum.

[[File:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9-N==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9|Brügger & Thomet MP9-N]] is one of the sidearms available to SCO19 (and GSUTR) operator Clash (her primary weapon is the CCE Shield, meaning that she only has firearms as secondary options), added in Operation Grim Sky and NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali. It is referred to as the "SPSMG9", uses 20-round magazines, features a permanently attached red dot sight, and is locked in two-round burst fire mode.

A future update removed the two-round burst and allowed it to fire on full-auto, making it a true secondary machine pistol.

==Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS==
The [[Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS]] is one of the weapons available to the Moroccan GIGR Defender Kaid added in Operation Wind Bastion. It is referred to as the "AUG A3". It bizarrely has a capacity of 31 + 1.

==Colt 9mm Submachine Gun==
The [[Colt 9mm Submachine Gun]], specifically the R0991 model, is available as a primary option for the Australian defensive operator Mozzie added in Operation Burnt Horizon. It is modeled with a fixed stock, similarly to the R6430 model. It is referred to in-game as the "Commando 9", and holds 25 + 1 rounds. Bizarrely, it is currently incorrectly classified as an assault rifle, like the HK416-C (and unlike the K1A), even though it doesn't even have the stats to match its classification.

=Rifles & Carbines=
With the exception of the HK416C and Daewoo K1A, these weapons are only usable by Attackers in Multiplayer. This large category of weapons is also sub-divided into Assault Rifles and Marksman Rifles in-game, the latter of which all fire semi-auto only.

==AK-12==
The 2012 prototype variation of the [[AK-12]] is issued to operators Fuze and Ace. The Spetsnaz recruit had access to the AK-12 in older versions of the game.

==Enfield L85A2==
The [[L85A2|Enfield L85A2]] is available in the game, and issued to all SAS Attackers and the Recruit class. Despite having a long, railed handguard, it is not capable of using an angled foregrip.

It is also the primary weapon of the "White Mask" terrorists in the Terrorist Hunt mode. Why they chose to use a assault rifle, made in limited numbers, near-unobtainable spare parts, and plagued with a variety of design issues even after its improvement, as their service weapon, is as much as a mystery as the White Masks' relevance in Siege in general.

==FAMAS F1==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears in the game as the "F2" and originally incorrectly held 30 rounds in 25-round magazines. The magazine capacity was changed to 25 during a mid-season balance patch in Year 4 Season 3, nerfing the gun while making its magazine capacity accurate to real life. It is only available to Operator Twitch, after the Recruit reworked removed the faction based Recruit system.

==Heckler & Koch G36C==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36C]] is available in the game, and used by FBI SWAT operator Ash and REU operator Iana.

The gun was frequently overlooked due to its complete inferiority to her other weapon: the R4C, until a later patch made it that the G36C is the only gun in Ash's arsenal that can use an ACOG optic (which grants a very valuable x2.5 view magnification).
[[file:Hkg36c.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Heckler & Koch G36C - 5.56x45mm]]

==Heckler & Koch HK33A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK33A2]] appears as the "AR33", and is used by SAS Operator Thatcher. It uses a 30-round magazine, though it only holds 25 rounds. It has a permanently attached optic rail, a rail on the bottom of the handguard, and a "charm mount" was on the left side of the stock, above the stock pins, but was updated to be on the rearward most claw on the optic mount. The rear sight is removed when using optics.

==Heckler & Koch HK416C==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] is appears as the "416-C Carbine". Prior to the "White Noise" update that added the Daewoo K1A for Vigil, it was the only assault rifle usable on the Defender's side; issued to Jäger and the original GSG-9 Recruits.

The weapon can be equipped with a 14.5 inch extended barrel, which would technically make it a standard HK416.

==Heckler & Koch HK417==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] is available to Twitch and GIGN CBRN specialist Lion. It is intended to be used as a DMR, as it is restricted to semi-auto only. It is also modeled with a 20-round magazine, which is rendered solid instead of transparent, but at release it had the in-game capacity of only 10 rounds; this was buffed and fixed to the correct 20 rounds in Operation Ember Rise.

==Remington R4-C==
A [[Remington R4|Remington R4-C]] appears simply as the "R4-C" and is available exclusively to Operator Ash. It is modeled with a Magpul MOE pistol grip, CTR buttstock, and Remington RAHG modular forend with rail sections permanently installed. The weapon's charm mount is located in the middle of the receiver, close to the top rail.

To encourage loadout variety, the R4-C is the only attacker assault rifle in the game not able to mount an ACOG sight (which provides a x2.5 magnified view, a very sought-after feature in the game).

The [[SIG SG 552]] is appears as the "552 Commando". Like in [[Rainbow Six: Vegas|previous]] [[Rainbow Six: Vegas 2|games]], it has a 30 round magazine capacity despite being modeled with the 20 round magazine. It can be seen in terrorist hands in the Terrorist Hunt mode. The SG 552 is used only by GSG-9 attacker IQ.

==SIG-Sauer SIG556xi SWAT==
The [[SIG SG 556|SIG-Sauer SIG556xi SWAT]] with a full-auto lower and a 16" barrel is available to operative Thermite.

A fun little trivia: in the "Inside Rainbow" trailer series showcasing the CTUs, Glaz is seen using the weapon in the the SAS, FBI SWAT, and GIGN trailers. The model is slightly different, with more segments on the handguard and R4-C-styled diamond iron sights, and is also incredibly broken - it sounds like an OTs-03 when fired, and Glaz's hand isn't even on the trigger when firing. He got the proper SVU model by the release of the GSG-9 and the Spetsnaz trailers.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with the carrying handle removed, a KAC RIS handguard, Colt Canada-type M4 stock, and using Magpul PMAGs with Ranger plates has been available for JTF-2 operator Buck since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released. It is referred to incorrectly as the "[[C8 SFW]]", but is identifiable as a 933 by its 11.5" barrel. It also incorrectly has a cut in the barrel for an [[M203 grenade launcher]].

It is equipped with a M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System, which is actually Buck's special gadget, the "Skeleton Key". Details of it can be seen below.

==C1A1==
The [[FN_FAL#L1A1|C1A1]], the Canadian variant of the L1A1 SLR, is Buck's second primary weapon choice from the Operation Black Ice expansion. It is referred to as the "CAMRS", and is fitted with an L1A1 SLR's synthetic stock and handguard. Like the "C8-SFW", Buck's special gadget the "Skeleton Key" (a M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System) is attached to the weapon, details of which can be seen below.

It is only capable of semi-auto fire, accurate for a C1A1.

==FN SCAR-H CQC==
The [[FN SCAR-H CQC]] has been available in the game since the Operation Dust Line expansion was released, for Navy SEAL operator Blackbeard. It is referred to as the "Mk17 CQB".

The weapon is powerful, but is plagued by having the slowest ADS speed of any assault rifle in the game.

==DSA SA58 OSW Carbine==
A [[FN FAL#DSA SA58 OSW|DSA SA58 OSW Carbine]] is the main battle rifle available to BOPE operator Capitão, under the name of "PARA-308". It has a worn tan finish and holds 30 rounds per magazine; the magazine depicted in-game is too short for that, but is also too long to be 20-rounder - 25 rounds would be a good guess.

==Colt Canada C7==
The [[M16_rifle_series#Diemaco_C7.2FColt_Model_715|Colt Canada C7]] is used exclusively by GEO Operator "Jackal" who was added with the "Operation Velvet Shell" DLC. The weapon in-game is modeled after the C7NLD, an officially dubbed, custom variant of the C7 used by the Armed Forces of the Netherlands. Along with the Dutch handguard, it is fitted with a Magpul PRS, uses PMAGs with Ranger Plates, and has the same charging handle as the UDP-9. It is named the "C7E" in-game, and is incorrectly depicted as having both fully-automatic and burst-fire modes.

==Daewoo K1A==
A customized [[Daewoo K1A]] is available for 707th SMB operator Vigil with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is referred to as the "K1A" and is classified as a submachine gun; while this isn't correct from a technical standpoint, it is at least correct in the sense that that's how the Korean military classifies it. The gameplay seems to go with the SMG route too, having a damage and recoil profile more similar to other SMGs than the assault rifles.

==Troy Industries Rock SOPMOD M14==
The [[ROCK SOPMOD M14|Troy Industries Rock SOPMOD M14]] is used exclusively by 707th SMB operator Dokkaebi who was added with the Operation White Noise expansion. It is incorrectly designated "Mk 14 EBR" and locked in semi-automatic.

==Beryl M762==
A heavily customized [[Beryl M762]] is the primary choice for GROM operator Zofia of the Operation White Noise expansion, named simply as "M762". It is fitted with the Midwest Industries Extended Handguard, a Hera Arms CQR stock, and a railed dust cover in lieu of its standard rail assembly. The assortment of customizations is primarily inspired by a [http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/12/30/hera-arms-cqr-stock-ak-rifle/ photoshopped AK] reported by The Firearms Blog, which is an [https://www.flickr.com/photos/stickgunner/21074884113/ AK-103-lookalike with the Midwest Industries Gen 1 SS-Extended Handguard] with the Hera Arms CQR stock photoshopped in.

==Saritch==
A compact version of the [[Saritch]] design concept is the primary choice for Spetsnaz CBRN specialist Finka, of the Operation Chimera expansion. This design is one conceived military version of the Saritch proposed by its designer but never mocked up, with 30-round magazines, automatic fire and a compact barrel; the in-game model resembles the medium-length 622mm-barrel version shown in the weapon designer's [https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/File:Sartich_document.png concept arts]. A right-facing ejection port has been added to the weapon, and the forearm is replaced with a set of underbarrel rails. It is referred to as the "Spear .308".

==M4A1 Block II==
Available for SFOD-D (and GSUTR) operator Maverick of the Operation Grim Sky expansion, a carbine indexed as the "M4" appears to be a customized [[M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Block II]]. It features a Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II 9.5 inch railed handguard and a 12.5 inch barrel instead of the usual 14.5 inch barrel, along with a tan Command Arms UPG16 modular pistol grip (a copy of the Fab Defense/Mako AG-43), rail covers, and a standard 6-position M4 stock. The weapon is marked "M4A1 Carbine" on the left side of the mag-well where the usual roll marks would be. Equipping the "M4" with the Heavy Barrel attachment gives it a longer 16-inch aftermarket pencil barrel. Attaching this would technically make it a heavily modernized [[Colt Model 653]] instead of a proper Block II.

It incorrectly features semi-auto, 3-round burst, and fully automatic fire modes, even though it has an M4's Safe/Semi/Burst fire selector, while being marked as an M4A1. Additionally, the developers forgot to model a gas block onto the standard or extended barrel, so in reality Maverick's using a bolt-action M4 that's only capable of automatic fire through the power of video game magic.

Maverick's STANAG magazines have improvised magazine assists in the form of Paracord looped into the baseplate and duck-tape around the bottom of the mag. It has a unique suppressor model, which is wrapped in lots of cloth like Caviera's Luison's suppressor, to help remove the mirage from when the can is hot and make it safer to re-tighten it. Equipping the compensator gives it a unique XM177-style moderator.]]

==Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf==
The [[Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf]] is available for the SFOD-D attacker Maverick with the Operation Grim Sky expansion. It is referred to as the "AR-15.50", and is correctly semi-automatic. It is fitted with a Mako Group Recoil Reducing GL-Shock stock, a Mako Group MWG (mag well grip), and a Magpul BAD Lever (which is never used, Maverick instead pulling the charging handle on empty reloads).

The weapon used SureFire 60-round quad-stack magazines at release, but only holds 10 rounds in gameplay - not that this really matters, since the internal geometry of the SureFire magazine would render .50 Beowulf rounds unable to fit anyways. The Operation Burnt Horizon update apparently acknowledged this, replacing the magazine with a more sensible 30-rounder, fitted with a Magpul Ranger Plate; this also fixes the capacity issue, since 30-round STANAG magazines can fit only ten .50 Beowulf rounds.

=="AK-74M"==
The "AK-74M" is an assault rifle available for GIGR operator Nomad of the Operation Wind Bastion expansion. Instead of being an actual [[AK-74M]], the in-game weapon the appears to be an [[AKM]] customized with Magpul MOE pistol grip, stock, hand guard, and a rail mount. Telltale signs of the in-game weapon model being based on an AKM is its ribbed dust cover, original slanted gas block, and its magazine being a waffle-pattern 7.62x39mm magazine (that holds 40 rounds) instead of 5.45×39mm that the AK-74M actually uses.

The right side of the in-game weapon features a white piece near the stock, which exists on the real AK-74M as a component of its side-folding stock. Despite this, the in-game weapon does not have a folding stock, and even lacks the corresponding button on the other side of the receiver for the AK-74M's folding stock.

More bizarrely, the lower receiver is marked "WASR-10 Cal. 5.45×39mm"; the [[WASR-10]] is indeed an AK variant, but is 7.62x39mm like the AKM, and is also semi-automatic only while the in-game weapon is select-fire. The in-game receiver also most definitely isn't based on a WASR-10 since it has standard AK dimples which the WASR-10 lacks.

Just to confuse matters further, the Operation Burnt Horizon update replaced the 7.62x39mm magazine model with a 5.45x39mm one, appropriate for an actual AK-74M, but not for anything else that the gun is based on.

==Beretta ARX-200==
The [[Beretta ARX-200]] is available for the GIGR attacker Nomad and REU operator Iana. In comparison to Nomad's frankensteined AKM, the ARX-200 does more damage, at the cost of having higher recoil and lower magazine size.

=="SC3000K"==
An [[FN F2000 Tactical]] with a slightly modified design and rechambered in .300 Blackout was added in the game in the Operation Shadow Legacy expansion as the "SC3000K". It is used by the Operator Zero, who is Sam Fisher from the ''[[Tom Clancy#Splinter Cell|Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell]]'' series. The weapon itself is a nod to the many F2000s (many times with fictional modifications) used by Sam Fisher throughout the ''Splinter Cell'' series, all of them having the fictional series name of "SC-number-K" (starting from the "SC-20K" in the original ''[[Splinter Cell]]'').

=Machine Guns=
With exception to the mounted DP-28 (technically a special gadget) and Maestro's CETME Ameli, Machine Guns are issued only to Attackers. As with the MAC-11, most open bolt machine guns incorrectly track +1 in the chamber.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
The Spetsnaz operator Tachanka's primary weapon is a [[DP-28]], designated in-game as DP-27. At the release of the game, the DP was Tachanka's gadget, mounted onto tripod and able to be manned by anyone, even by enemies in unfortunate situations, and his primary weapons were the Vityaz and Saiga. In this tripod-mounted form it was called the "RP-46" in game, though this is the designation for the belt-fed, pistol-gripped version of the DP. Tachanka himself referred to it as the "DP-28." Its magazines hold an erroneous 70 rounds. During its life as a mounted weapon, it incorrectly tracked the round in the chamber, but after being reworked into his primary weapon, it's correctly depicted as open-bolt, and the extra round was given to Tachanka's ammo reserve.

A patch released in December 2016 added a reinforced glass shield to the turret (modeled after [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gun_shield_1805.jpg this particular shield], and marked with the Russian word for "Lord" acknowledging the Lord Tachanka meme), making its usage somewhat more viable. In "Operation: Blood Orchid," it was changed so that Tachanka kept the magazine loaded in the weapon when moving it instead of unloading and loading it every time, making it faster to move around.

The 2020 October update made the DP-28 man-portable, as Tachanka's new primary weapon.

==Heckler & Koch HK23/HK13 Hybrid==
A hybrid of the 5.56mm belt-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK23]] and the 5.56mm mag-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns|Heckler & Koch HK13]] appears in ''Rainbow Six Siege''. The magazine well is a key feature of the HK13, but the receiver design, with its longer ejection port and a large, tubular brass deflector, is almost never found on the mag-fed HK machine guns, and instead comes from the belt-fed HK machine guns like the HK23. It has a [[G3]] rear sight and added rails.

It appears under the name "G8A1", the German designation of the 7.62mm mag-fed [[Heckler & Koch HK11]], even though its magazine well is rather clearly in 5.56mm, appearing more or less identical to the one on Thatcher's HK33. Despite the magazine well, the magazine used are 7.62mm X Products X-91 50-round drum magazines, apparently scaled down to fit into the 5.56mm magazine well.

The weapon is available in the game for IQ and Peruvian Operator Amaru introduced in Year 4 Season 3 Operation Ember Rise.

==PKP Pecheneg==
A [[PKP Pecheneg]] with an aftermarket bullpup conversion kit manufactured by Zenit is used by the Spetsnaz attacker Fuze and Spetsnaz CBRN specialist Finka.

==M249 SAW==
The second option for BOPE attacker Capitão is the [[FN Minimi|M249 SAW]]. It has a newer FN Minimi Mk 3 collapsible stock and sports a worn beige finish by default, similar to his SA58 OSW. Until Operation Blood Orchid, it incorrectly tracked a round in the chamber. The reworked Recruit also has access to the belt-fed SAW.

Later, in Operation Burnt Horizon, Australian attacker Gridlock has a near-identical M249 as a primary weapon option, albeit without the beige finish. Hers somewhat bafflingly uses a 60-round SureFire quad-stack magazine shoved into the emergency STANAG magazine well, rather than a belt; while this isn't strictly ''impossible'', the M249's magwell is notoriously unreliable, and belts are preferred whenever possible. It has access to a unique scope attachment, which works like the pistol scope on the Auto Mag Pistol.

==Norinco QJB-95==
The [[Norinco QBZ-95|Norinco QJB-95]] is available in the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is indexed as the "T-95 LSW", and is usable by the SDU attacker Ying. The weapon's description inaccurately states that it fires 5.56mm rounds, even though the weapon model is clearly based on the 5.8x42mm version. The QJB-95 is also modeled with several T97.ca upgrades from civilian Type-97 rifles, such as the Flat-Top Upper, Enhanced Trigger Group, and Lower Hand Guard upgrades.

==Krytac Trident LMG-E==
The same airsoft gun based on the [[Ares Shrike]] from ''[[Ghost Recon: Wildlands]]'' appears in ''Siege'' under the designation of "LMG-E". The "LMG-E" is used exclusively by GROM operator Zofia, of the Operation White Noise expansion.
[[File:Krytac-55432.jpg|thumb|none|450px|'''Airsoft''' Krytac Trident LMG-E]]

==CETME Ameli==
The [[CETME Ameli]] is added in Operation Para Bellum as the "ALDA 5.56". Being a primary option for Defense Operator Maestro, it is the only portable LMG available to Defenders.
[[Image:CetmeAmeli556.jpg|thumb|none|500px|CETME Ameli - 5.56x45mm]]

[[File:R6S Ameli Reload 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attaching a new 80 round belt box onto the gun. There are a few things unusual with this belt box: the CETME Ameli only has 100 or 200-round belt boxes in reality, and the in-game 80-round belt box has a similar shape to the 200-round one, but is much smaller and slimmer. The in-game belt box also opens to the right rather than to the left like on the real belt boxes. Due to the right-sided belt box opening, Maestro uses an unorthodox process where he locks the first round in position (as pictured here) and then pulls the box out to attach it to the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the standard "attach the belt box first and then pull out the belt" procedure.]]

=Shotguns=
Shotguns are available to both sides in Multiplayer. Given the game's emphasis on micro-destruction, they make great assets in "redecorating" the interiors throughout the game's levels, except for the ones that fire slugs.
==Benelli M4 Super 90==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] is available in the game, and goes by its US Military designation of M1014. Although in-game, the M4 holds 7+1 rounds, it is modeled with a 4-round civilian magazine-tube. The Benelli M4 is usable by every FBI operator except Ash.

==FABARM SDASS Compact==
A [[Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6|FABARM SDASS Compact]] with ghost ring sights of the "Tactical" model appears as the "SG-CQB". It can be used by every GIGN operator sans Montagne, who favors "Le Rock," a massive riot shield in exchange of a primary weapon. It is the only pump-action shotgun that can be fitted with a foregrip, and weapon animations change correspondingly when the grip is used.

==Saiga-12K==
A heavily customized [[Saiga 12|Saiga-12K]], most closely resembling ones customized by the Hatcher Gun Company, appears as the "SASG-12" (which ''[[The Division]]'' followed suit with). It has a RIS foregrip with an aftermarket front sight and an AK-12 rear sight mounted on top, an aftermarket trigger-guard, Hogue pistol grip, and a CAA CBS AR-15 stock. It uses 8-round box magazines. The Saiga-12 is used primarily by Spetsnaz defenders, though Finka may use it as well.

The weapon is the most powerful semi-automatic shotgun available that uses buckshot, but is offset by having the highest recoil aswell.

==Mossberg 590A1 Blackwater==
The [[Mossberg 590A1|Mossberg 590A1 Blackwater]] is available in the game, issued to the SAS and the Secret Service operator Warden. The M590A1 is also somewhat used by terrorists in the Terrorist Hunt mode, though they usually carry assault rifles. Although in-game, the M590A1 hold 7 rounds, it is modeled with a 9-round magazine-tube.

The weapon lacks damage, but offers decent RoF and recoil control.

==Remington 870 (G&P M870 RAS)==
A short-barreled [[Remington 870]] equipped with a Command Arms UPG16 modular pistol grip, 6-postion M4 stock, bolted-on extended top rail, and flip-up iron sights is available to the reworked Defender recruits, and both the GSG-9 Defender operators Jäger and Bandit. It is closely modeled after the G&P M870 RAS, an airsoft Remington 870.

The weapon is the second most powerful shotgun in the game, although somewhat "balanced" by the fact that its efficiency diminishes greatly beyond point-blank range.
[[file:M870.jpg|thumb|450px|none|'''Airsoft''' G&P M870 RAS]]

==Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty==
The [[Benelli M3 Super 90|Benelli M3 Super 90 Shorty]] has been available in the game since the Operation Black Ice expansion was released, for JTF-2 defender Frost. It is referred to as the "Super 90," and operates exclusively in semi-automatic mode.

==M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System==
The JTF-2 operator Buck uses the [[M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System]] as his gadget, equipped to whatever primary weapon (i.e. "C8-SFW" or "CAMRS") he is using. It is named the Skeleton Key, an obvious allusion to the [[Knight's Armament Masterkey]]'s name, and also a likely nod to how the fictional Skeleton Key can open any door, paired with the fact the M26 was designed to be a door-breaching (or wall-breaching as the design is applied in ''Siege'') shotgun. It has a very large spread that limits its use in combat and at range, but is ''very'' destructive, able to create giant peek holes on walls with ease when combined with its spread. Like in [[Rainbow Six: Vegas|previous]] [[Rainbow Six: Vegas 2|games]], the M26 in the game is semi-automatic, while the real one is a straight-pull bolt action.

==Franchi SPAS-12==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] is used by Navy SEAL operator Valkyrie and GIGR operator Oryx. As with the Benelli M3, it operates only in semi-automatic mode.

==Franchi SPAS-15==
The last addition of the Operation Skull Rain update is the SPAS-12's successor, the [[Franchi SPAS-15]], used exclusively by BOPE operator Caviera. It is depicted as semi-automatic only, and properly utilizes its bolt catch mechanism.

==Benelli Supernova==
The [[Benelli Supernova]] was added in the Operation Red Crow expansion, and is available to both SAT Operators, and the Peruvian Operator Amaru added in Y4S3. Its low damage and slow cycling speed takes a toll on its damage output, but offers excellent recoil control.

==FABARM STF 12==
Two variants of the [[FABARM STF 12]] are introduced in Operation Velvet Shell, the Pistolgrip F.E. (without the muzzle brake) as the primary "ITA12L" and the Short Initial as the secondary "ITA12S". The ITA12S was the only secondary shotgun available in the game until the release of the "Super Shorty" in Operation Burnt Horizon of 2019. Both variants are available for both G.E.O. operators introduced in Operation Velvet Shell, while the secondary ITA12S is also available to Peruvian Operator Amaru introduced in Operation Ember Rise.

==Crye Precision Six12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12]] is available for both SDU operators introduced in Operation Blood Orchid, and comes in two variants, the standard variant as "SIX12" for Attack operator Ying and the integrally suppressed as "SIX12 SD" for Defense operator Lesion. Danish Jaeger Corps Operator Nøkk, added in Y4S2, also uses the SIX12 SD.

==Fostech Origin-12==
The [[Fostech Origin-12]] is available in the game with the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. It is referred to as the "FO-12", and is used by the GROM defender Ela. The weapon currently has the highest RoF out of any semi-automatic shotgun in the game and can also be equipped with a long-barrel to increase its damage over distances.

=="BOSG.12.2"==
The "BOSG.12.2" (BOSG presumably standing for Break-Open Shotgun, compare with how "SASG" likely stands for Semi-Auto Shotgun) is a tactical over/under shotgun that is usable by the 707th SMB operators introduced in the Operation White Noise expansion. It shares many design elements with the [[Mossberg HS12|Mossberg Maverick HS-12]] and Stoeger Double Defense Over and Under shotguns. It fires slug shells, unlike the other shotguns in the game. These slugs are extremely powerful and accurate, even at longer ranges. Plus its ability to fire both barrels in quick succession allows it to devastate operators once hit. Although, as a trade-off, its 2-round capacity and long reload time heavily punishes missed shots, plus its ability to damage the environment is limited.

During public testing, the weapon was originally capable of penetrating the bulletproof windows of the executive jet in the "Presidential Plane" map, something only Glaz's SVU can do, but this ability was later removed in the official release.

==AA-12==
Added in Operation Para Bellum, the "ACS12" is a modified [[AA-12]], and can be used by Maestro and Alibi alike. Its standard iron sights are missing, the weapon instead being fitted with a G36C-like top rail system for mounting optics, a corresponding low-profile extended charging handle, and a handguard seemingly inspired by the [[Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle]]'s Kydex handguard, with rail segments on its sides and bottom. It uses 20 or 32-round drum magazines in-game, which incorrectly hold 30 rounds (plus an incorrect 1 in the chamber, Ubisoft either not realizing or caring that the AA-12 is open-bolt).

Of note is that the addition of the "ACS-12" marks the appearance of ''Siege'''s first (and so far only) fully-automatic shotgun, which also makes it the single most destructive weapon in terms of environmental destruction, able to eat through an entire wall in seconds. Balancing out its full-auto capability is its very big spread and the lowest damage of any shotgun in the game, but that's just another plus when you're busy bulldozing entire rooms because it allows more destruction per shot.

Incidentally, the name "ACS-12" was first used for this weapon in a previous Ubisoft game, ''[[Splinter Cell: Blacklist]]''. Presumably Ubisoft has its own dictionary for non-trademark-infringing weapon names for its allegedly interconnected video game universe spanning multiple franchises.

==Akdal Arms MKA 1919==
A heavily customized Turkish-made [[Akdal Arms MKA 1919]] semi-automatic shotgun is available with the Operation Wind Bastion Expansion. The customizations include the lower receiver being modified to fit a [[Bushmaster ACR]] stock and Magpul MOE pistol grip, a modified Chaos quad-rail hand guard, a shortened 13" barrel with appropriately modified gas-system, the front sight repinned to the barrel, an enlarged charging handle and bolt-release paddle, and custom 10-round magazines.

Simply dubbed "TCSG12" in-game, the weapon is used by GIGR defender Kaid and Mexican FES defender Goyo. The shotgun only fires slugs, just like the "BOSG-12.2", and is the first slug-firing shotgun to have an ACOG sight, turning it into the defenders' only pseudo-DMR primary, more than anything else. The weapon's only barrel attachment is the suppressor.

==Remington 870 MCS==
While referred to as a "[[Serbu Super Shorty|Super Shorty]]", the secondary shotgun made available to both Australian operators in Operation Burnt Horizon is actually a [[Remington 870 MCS]], in the short-barreled "Masterkey" configuration, as evidenced by the MCS's distinctive forend (compared to the Super Shorty's folding foregrip).

An update made the 870 MCS Masterkey available as a replacement for M45 in FBI operator Castle's loadout, and it is also an available secondary for the reworked Recruit attackers.

=Sniper Rifles=
==SVU Dragunov==
The [[SVU Dragunov]] appears as the "OTs-03", and is used by the Spetsnaz operator Glaz. The weapon has the best surface-penetrating capabilities of any weapon, being capable of piercing a wide variety of surfaces with a minimal loss of damage, and, prior to Operation White Noise and its addition of the "BOSG. 12.2", being the only weapon capable of shooting through airplane windows (specifically the reinforced airplane windows on the map "Presidential Plane", which is also the only place where they appear); after the aforementioned weapon's mechanics were changed, it once again became the only weapon capable of such a feat.

Glaz's unique gadget is the magnifier on the rifle, which can be flipped into or out of the main sight plane; this does not actually require an optical sight to use, with the front iron sight serving as the reticule instead in the absence of other optics. The sight is originally a rather odd red-tinted (or completely clear, as shown in the Spetsnaz trailer) magnifier called the "HDS Flip Sight", which had no effect other than a bit of zoom. In the Velvet Shell Mid-Season Reinforcements, the magnifier lost its red tint and gained a thermal effect, highlighting enemies by their heat signature; this effect, strangely, only applies to a smaller central blue-tinted circle in the magnifier, rather than the entire thing.

A rather neat detail is that after the thermal sight update, the sight model had an extra clip-on thermal imager added to it.

=="CSRX 300"==
NIGHTHAVEN operator Kali uses a fictional custom-built rifle known as the "CSRX 300" as her sole primary weapon. The rifle appears to take design cues from the [[Blaser R93]] and the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] series of rifles, with an underbarrel launcher resembling the [[FN EGLM]]. As the name implies, the rifle is chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. The rifle has a custom scope that allows the player to switch between x4 and x12 zoom. In-game, players shot by the rifle are instantly downed, though the sniper rounds leave tell-tale vapor trails. The underbarrel launcher fires an explosive drilling device that can destroy barricades (including Castle's barricades) and floor hatches, and creates small holes in breachable walls. When penetrating walls, the explosive destroys any placed gadgets within the blast radius.

=Launchers=
Launchers are almost always Operator gadgets. Other launchers of note include Capitão's crossbow, Hibana's X-KAIROS, Zofia's KS79 LIFELINE, Nomad's Airjab Launcher, and Kali's LV Lance not listed here for one reason or another.
==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]], indexed as "M120 CREM," is used by the FBI SWAT operative "Ash". It appears stand-alone in the game with a longer barrel and an under-barrel rail with an attached vertical grip instead of the the built-in folding vertical grip. In-game it fires specialized (and, given the reload animation, seemingly caseless) breaching rounds that drill into destructible surfaces, then explode after a delay in order to ensure maximum penetration. The shell does not explode if it does not hit a breachable surface.

To the relief of some and the disappointment of others, the game's list of "breachable surfaces" does not include enemies, although getting directly struck with the shell deals a moderate amount of damage. While the breaching round itself also has a small blast radius and is not reliable against human targets, getting caught in the explosion of an armed round deals a large amount of damage.

==Kulakov Revolver Grenade Launcher==
The October 2020 Tachanka rework adds a [[Kulakov Revolver Grenade Launcher]] to his arsenal as his new gadget, known as the "Shumikha" in-universe. For whatever reason, the Shumikha fires incendiary grenades instead of high-explosives, and its operation is utterly bizarre: the Mosin's receiver is treated as semi-automatic and never visibly cycles, despite it still spitting spent blanks out through a static bolt, and the drum magazine of the launcher component itself is never topped off, with Tachanka simply cramming in more blanks when reloading the weapon. The pistol grip is also absent; the stock also seems to be a non-standard partial C-grip style.

As an unintentional bit of irony, the in-game write-up claims that replacing Tachanka's machinegun stand with the Shumikha will lighten his gear load, while one of the main reasons leading up to the Kulakov being rejected in the first place was how heavy and unwieldy it is to use as a standard-issue weapon. To put it into perspective, an unloaded Kulakov weighs significantly more than a fully-loaded DP-28 (15kg vs. 11.5kg), and was designed to be fired with its bipod deployed.

=Grenades & Explosives=
Most equipment in this category are non-exclusive "generic" gadgets available to multiple Operators (alongside things like Barbed Wire and Deployable Shields), though they are still limited to one team.

==C4==
Bundles of C4 charges, somewhat strangely referred to as "Nitro Cells", are available for certain defenders. Unlike other explosives; the C4 sticks to surfaces and is manually detonated with a cellphone.

The weapon is currently the most powerful explosive available, capable of outright killing anyone caught in its 5m blast radius; however, as a heavy explosive, its throwing distance is considerably shorter than that of grenades. It also emits a faint beeping sound once deployed, which can potentially alert attackers to its presence. Much like a real C4, the charge will only explode if its triggered by the user. Attacking it will simply destroy it, and if the user dies before the charge is triggered, the C4 is essentially rendered inert.

[[file:Rainbowsix Bank smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Unusable M18 smoke grenade on the "Bank" map.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] is given to some attacking operators.

The weapon explodes after 4 seconds and deals high damage, although since the grenade is primarily focused on scattering shrapnel than an explosion: it does smaller environmental damage than the impact grenade. The grenade can be cooked to reduce the chances of an enemy escaping the blast once thrown, but cooking it for longer than 4 seconds will cause it to detonate; killing the wielder and anyone else unlucky enough to be near them.

[[File:RainbowSix Siege m84 grenade holding 1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|M84 Stun Grenade in game.]]

==M18A1 Claymore Mine==
The [[M18A1 Claymore]] was added in the September 13, 2016 patch 4.2 for attacking operators. The weapon is very powerful, capable of incapacitating or outright killing anything infront of it once it goes off.

Unlike traditional claymores, the mine is triggered with three laser beams arranged in a triangular pattern, that extend upto three meters each. If a defender touches any of the lasers: the mine will explode in a 180-degree radius, with a lethal range of upto 5 meters. Although as a balancing measure, both teams can see the claymore's lasers.

==T13 Beano grenade==
The Impact Grenade was added on September 13, 2016, in patch 4.2. It is a modernized depiction of the WWII-era T13 Beano impact grenade. It is exclusive to defenders and deals limited damage in a small radius of 2.5m (in fact you'd actually have to throw it directly at someone to get any kind of decent damage). However, its small explosion radius and damage means its relatively safe to throw around to create large openings in destructible surfaces for other operators to pass through, in comparison to other explosives.

The Evil Within 2

Shiro Okami: /* Assault Rifle */

{{incomplete}}
[[File:TheEvilWithinII cover.jpg|300px|thumb|right|''The Evil Within 2'' (2017)]]

'''''The Evil Within 2''''' is the 2017 sequel to the 2014 survival horror game ''[[Evil Within, The|The Evil Within]]''. Picking up three years after the first game, players will once again take control of now ex-detective Sebastian Castellanos. Down on his luck after the events of the first game, Sebastian is forced to return to the hellish mindscape generated by the STEM system to search for his missing daughter Lily.

{{VG Title|The Evil Within 2}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
==M1911==
Sebastian's starting pistol this time around appears to be an [[M1911]], which also seems standard for MOBIUS agents alongside the Walther P99. Compared to its incarnation from the first game, the sequel's M1911 appears to be based much more closely on the real thing, bearing a resemblance to the [[Colt MK IV Series 70]], albeit with more squared features overall. A laser-sighted version of the gun could be found for free at an auto repair shop near the first safe house, and a suppressed variant can be unlocked later as a sidequest reward.
[[Image:ColtMkIVSeries70.jpg‎ |thumb|none|350px|Colt MK IV Series 70 - .45 ACP]]

[[File:TheEvilWithin2M1911Racking.jpg|thumb|none|700px|He then racks the slide, remembering how his police training taught him to keep his finger off the trigger. Upon closer inspection the M1911 seems to lack a spring guide rod, the plug seemingly being treated as a solid component of the barrel bushing.]]
[[File:TEW2_Handgun_ONeal.jpg|700px|thumb|none|MOBIUS agent Liam O'Neal holding Sebastian at gunpoint with his M1911. Being a techie by trade, he's not familiar enough with the use of firearms to note that the safety on his gun is on, which Sebastian manages to use to his advantage.]]

==Walther P99/Springfield Armory XD Hybrid==
Juil Kidman and MOBIUS agent Yukiko Hoffman use what appears to be a [[Walther P99]], albeit with a more boxy slide, external hammer, rounded trigger guard and contoured grip similar to that of the [[Springfield Armory XD]]. The P99 has unlimited reserve ammo, but otherwise shares stats with the baseline M1911 and can only be used during the short sequences where control is shifted to Kidman.
[[Image:Walther-P99-Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Walther P99 - 9x19mm. Note the ramped trigger guard, small slide serrations, closed and proprietary accessory rail, short magazine release and slightly more curved 'tail' of the pre-2004 models.]]
[[File:TEW2_Handgun_Juli_render.jpg|700px|thumb|none|Official render of the P99. Note the P99's takedown lever mashed against the Springfield Armory XD's lower frame.]]
[[File:TEW2_Handgun_Juli.jpg|700px|thumb|none|Juli Kidman aims the P99 at her former colleagues. Note the uncocked hammer, which denotes DAO operation...]]
[[File:TEW2_Handgun_Yuki.jpg|700px|thumb|none|...which Yukiko's pistol seems to disagree with. Hers has an anodized black slide instead of Juli's chromed.]]

=="Revolver"==
Sebastian's main weapon returns from the first game. It still appears to be a hybrid between a [[Colt M1917]] Revolver and a [[Smith & Wesson Model 25]]. He first uses it to threaten Kidman and a MOBIUS agent in a bar. He loses it when he is captured but later regains it during a side mission.

[[Image:EW2 revolver.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Official render of the Revolver.]]

=="Magnum"==
The Magnum based on the [[Colt Python]] and a Smith and Wesson makes a return, this time as a "New Game+" bonus. However, it has now been slightly modified, having received a muzzle brake in the style of [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] Performance Center Hunter, more "traditional" S&W under-barrel lug, and a square triggerguard like the [[Desert Eagle]]. Like in the previous game, ammo for this weapon is expensive to craft and there are no upgrades to its capacity.
[[Image:EW2 Magnum.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

=Shotguns=
==Ithaca 37==
A cut-down [[Ithaca 37]] with a Benelli-style side ejection port is available for use in the game. When first found through sidequests, the gun and its long-barreled variant are implied to be standard-issue for MOBIUS personnel, though none of them ever seem to actually use any shotgun whatsoever, dead or alive.

The basic Sawed-off can be found in two locations in Chapter 3, and in a store room inside The Marrow during Chapter 6, while the long-barreled model is locked in a shack just outside of Post Plus in the Business District.
[[Image:Ithaca m37sawedoff.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Ithaca 37 with sawed-off stock and barrel]]

[[Image:EW2 fullbarreled.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The full-barreled 3D model, which also adds a synthetic stock.]]

==Double-Barreled Shotgun (Sawn Off)==
Sebastian later gains access to a sawn-off [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|double-barreled shotgun]]. Like the full-length shotgun that came with the pre-ordered edition of the previous game, it fires a rapid two-shell burst, dealing massive close-range damage but also consuming ammo more quickly.
[[Image:EW2 doublebarreled.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The double-barreled shotgun 3D model.]]

=Rifles=
==Sniper Rifle==
The "Sniper Rifle" is Sebastian's only option for long-ranged engagements in the sequel. It chiefly resembles a mishmash between the [[SVD Dragunov]] and the [[Remington MSR]], featuring a blend between the former's general aesthetics and the latter's bolt-action operation and bridged top cover, while the humpbacked stock was taken from the [[FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle|PSL]], a Romanian derivative of the SVD. Prior to the release of the game, the beta Sniper Rifle had wooden furniture instead of synthetic.

As with much of Sebastian's arsenal in this game, the Sniper Rifle can be found in Chapter 3, very close to the starting safe house on the rooftop of a two-story building directly adjacent to the Union Visitor's Center. Uniquely, the first Sniper Rifle is broken when collected, and must be repaired with parts before it could be used. Several intact units can be found later on should the player miss the first rifle.

[[File:TEW2_Sniper_Rifle_reload.jpg|thumb|none|700px|Sebastian topping off his Sniper Rifle. The rifle apparently uses "drop free" magazines instead of the SVD's "rock-and-lock".]]

==Assault Rifle==
The "Assault Rifle" in-game is composed of a plethora of custom parts for the [[AR-15]] platform. Its receiver consists of a Noveske flat top mated to a billet receiver, fitted with Daniel Defense-esque keymod handguard and stock (with the side rails of PDW-length collapsible butts), Magpul AFG, and feeds from Magpul PMAGs. Its ironsights are a combination of a KAC folding rear and TROY front battle sight.

Like the "Machine Gun" from the previous game, it serves as the game's fully-automatic weapon, although it is now available in the later parts of the campaign, and ammo for it is more common. Esmeralda Torres uses a custom AR-15. Sebastian later uses it after the previous owner dies.

==Warden Crossbow==
A crossbow created by MOBIUS based on the Agony Crossbow from the first game. It fires sideways unlike the first game.

==Flamethrower==
Custom made flamethrowers are used by Harbingers (Theodore's followers). Liam O'Neil uses one when he is turned into one. Sebastian later uses O'Neil after repairing it.

The Evil Within 2

[[File:TheEvilWithinII cover.jpg|300px|thumb|right|''The Evil Within 2'' (2017)]]

'''''The Evil Within 2''''' is the 2017 sequel to the 2014 survival horror game ''[[Evil Within, The|The Evil Within]]''. Picking up three years after the first game, players will once again take control of now ex-detective Sebastian Castellanos. Down on his luck after the events of the first game, Sebastian is forced to return to the hellish mindscape generated by the STEM system to search for his missing daughter Lily.

{{VG Title|The Evil Within 2}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
==M1911==
Sebastian's starting pistol this time around appears to be an [[M1911]], which also seems standard for MOBIUS agents alongside the Walther P99. Compared to its incarnation from the first game, the sequel's M1911 appears to be based much more closely on the real thing, bearing a resemblance to the [[Colt MK IV Series 70]], albeit with more squared features overall. A laser-sighted version of the gun could be found for free at an auto repair shop near the first safe house, and a suppressed variant can be unlocked later as a sidequest reward.

[[File:TheEvilWithin2M1911Racking.jpg|thumb|none|700px|He then racks the slide, remembering how his police training taught him to keep his finger off the trigger. Upon closer inspection the M1911 seems to lack a spring guide rod, the plug seemingly being treated as a solid component of the barrel bushing.]]
[[File:TEW2_Handgun_ONeal.jpg|700px|thumb|none|MOBIUS agent Liam O'Neal holding Sebastian at gunpoint with his M1911. Being a techie by trade, he's not familiar enough with the use of firearms to note that the safety on his gun is on, which Sebastian manages to use to his advantage.]]

==Walther P99/Springfield Armory XD Hybrid==
Juil Kidman and MOBIUS agent Yukiko Hoffman use what appears to be a [[Walther P99]], albeit with a more boxy slide, external hammer, rounded trigger guard and contoured grip similar to that of the [[Springfield Armory XD]]. The P99 has unlimited reserve ammo, but otherwise shares stats with the baseline M1911 and can only be used during the short sequences where control is shifted to Kidman.
[[Image:Walther-P99-Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Walther P99 - 9x19mm. Note the ramped trigger guard, small slide serrations, closed and proprietary accessory rail, short magazine release and slightly more curved 'tail' of the pre-2004 models.]]

[[File:TEW2_Handgun_Yuki.jpg|700px|thumb|none|...which Yukiko's pistol seems to disagree with. Hers has an anodized black slide instead of Juli's chromed.]]

=="Revolver"==
Sebastian's main weapon returns from the first game. It still appears to be a hybrid between a [[Colt M1917]] Revolver and a [[Smith & Wesson Model 25]]. He first uses it to threaten Kidman and a MOBIUS agent in a bar. He loses it when he is captured but later regains it during a side mission.

[[Image:EW2 revolver.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Official render of the Revolver.]]

=="Magnum"==
The Magnum based on the [[Colt Python]] and a Smith and Wesson makes a return, this time as a "New Game+" bonus. However, it has now been slightly modified, having received a muzzle brake in the style of [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] Performance Center Hunter, more "traditional" S&W under-barrel lug, and a square triggerguard like the [[Desert Eagle]]. Like in the previous game, ammo for this weapon is expensive to craft and there are no upgrades to its capacity.
[[Image:EW2 Magnum.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

=Shotguns=
==Ithaca 37==
A cut-down [[Ithaca 37]] with a Benelli-style side ejection port is available for use in the game. When first found through sidequests, the gun and its long-barreled variant are implied to be standard-issue for MOBIUS personnel, though none of them ever seem to actually use any shotgun whatsoever, dead or alive.

The basic Sawed-off can be found in two locations in Chapter 3, and in a store room inside The Marrow during Chapter 6, while the long-barreled model is locked in a shack just outside of Post Plus in the Business District.

[[Image:EW2 fullbarreled.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The full-barreled 3D model, which also adds a synthetic stock.]]

==Double-Barreled Shotgun (Sawn Off)==
Sebastian later gains access to a sawn-off [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|double-barreled shotgun]]. Like the full-length shotgun that came with the pre-ordered edition of the previous game, it fires a rapid two-shell burst, dealing massive close-range damage but also consuming ammo more quickly.
[[Image:EW2 doublebarreled.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The double-barreled shotgun 3D model.]]

=Rifles=
==Sniper Rifle==
The "Sniper Rifle" is Sebastian's only option for long-ranged engagements in the sequel. It chiefly resembles a mishmash between the [[SVD Dragunov]] and the [[Remington MSR]], featuring a blend between the former's general aesthetics and the latter's bolt-action operation and bridged top cover, while the humpbacked stock was taken from the [[FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle|PSL]], a Romanian derivative of the SVD. Prior to the release of the game, the beta Sniper Rifle had wooden furniture instead of synthetic.

As with much of Sebastian's arsenal in this game, the Sniper Rifle can be found in Chapter 3, very close to the starting safe house on the rooftop of a two-story building directly adjacent to the Union Visitor's Center. Uniquely, the first Sniper Rifle is broken when collected, and must be repaired with parts before it could be used. Several intact units can be found later on should the player miss the first rifle.

Hudson H9

Shiro Okami: /* Video Games */

[[File:Hudson H9.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Hudson H9 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
The '''Hudson H9''' is a steel-framed 9x19mm handgun manufactured by Hudson Manufacturing of Temple, Texas. It is an [[M1911]]-based design, albeit striker-fired rather than the standard hammer setup, and with a rather interesting system wherein the barrel and recoil spring are set far lower than on a typical handgun, which (in combination with the aforementioned striker-fired operation) allows for a lower-than-typical bore axis, and a corresponding reduction in muzzle flip; this is also why the pistol's dustcover is level with the bottom of the trigger guard. All this, coupled with some other enticing features (configurable safety setups, ambidextrous controls, illuminated 3-dot sights, etc.) made the pistol quite promising; however, the announcement of an aluminum-framed variant known as the '''H9A''' before it was actually ready for mass-production drew away many prospective buyers, forcing Hudson to file for bankruptcy in March 2019.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 fired.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The grip-mounted laser module not only increases accuracy in itself, but its beam is completely unobtrusive when the sights are used. Note the small US flag on the back of the upgraded slide.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).
[[file:P226R.jpg|thumb|none|350px|SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm. The one in-game is a .40 S&W model.]]

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9mm". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

===Akimbo===
[[File:PD2 S&W M29 Akimbo.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Did he fire six shots, or only five? Doesn't matter; he's still got at least six left.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5/10|MP5/10]] with its tell-tale straight box magazine is used exclusively by the Cloaker unit at launch, before the conversion kit was released to players in The Butcher's Mod Pack 2.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

The TMP's Solid Stock is out of place here, however, due to it being a Steyr product; a true MP9 is not naturally compatible with this kind of part due to the molded folding stock hinge.]]

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

==Thompson M1A1==
An unusable [[Thompson M1A1]] can be seen on display as part of Aldstone the butler's antique and heirloom collections in his quarters. Several are also seen in display cases in the McKendrick Museum's WW2-themed room found in the heist "The Diamond".

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

[[File:PD2 Vz.61 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note the undermounted rail, which should clue players in that this was likely modeled after an airsoft replica. While there are similar rail mounts for the Skorpion, they are for the most part fixed to the barrel "neck" rather than the receiver itself.]]

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

The attachment's name is a reference to ''[[The A-Team]]'', whose protagonists made frequent use of folding-stocked Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.
[[File:Ak 5C.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The true form of the rifle gains a leap to all important stats with the addition of the "Caesar" stock, "Karbin Ceres" foregrip and the recently introduced "CQB Barrel", decorated here with a yellow laser module and a Lancer L5 magazine.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.

[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

One might assume they use AKS-74Us due to the bakelite mags, but the curvature of the magazine indicates that it's chambered in 7.62x39mm. This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]
[[File:PD2 M4 Super 90 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note that the default barrel length of the gun is slightly shorter (or longer) than any configuration of the shotgun sold by Benelli. Fitting the "Long Barrel" mod to the gun will give it the proper length.]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

[[File:PD2 R93 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The R93 fitted with the "Wooden Body" giving it a similar look to the rifle pictured above.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700|Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.
[[Image:Remington700SPS 308.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Remington 700 SPS - 7.62x51mm NATO. This is the current sporting variant of the original 700PSS/700P Design.]]

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

The primers are clearly unstruck in this shot.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

The CrimeFest 2015 updates have also removed the movement speed penalty for machineguns, meaning the Minigun is now no more cumbersome than a dinky Walther PPK.]]
[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.
[[Image:Glock 18C.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

[[File:PD2 S&W M29 Akimbo.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Did he fire six shots, or only five? Doesn't matter; he's still got at least six left.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5/10|MP5/10]] with its tell-tale straight box magazine is used exclusively by the Cloaker unit at launch, before the conversion kit was released to players in The Butcher's Mod Pack 2.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[file:B&T-MP9.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Brügger & Thomet MP9 - 9x19mm. Fixed foregrip variant shown.]]
[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

The Payday 2 TMP uses the older double-stage trigger contraption.]]

The TMP's Solid Stock is out of place here, however, due to it being a Steyr product; a true MP9 is not naturally compatible with this kind of part due to the molded folding stock hinge.]]

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

==Thompson M1A1==

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]

Of course it snaps closed again owing to Payday 2 treating the TEC as a closed-bolt weapon, but hey, it's something.]]

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.

[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.

[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough. Apparently the rifle had claimed 38 lives prior to Clover joining the gang, after which she for some reason decided to drop the habit entirely.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.
[[Image:FN F2000 tactical.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN F2000 Tactical - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

It still lacks any obvious source for the taser projectile to come from.]]

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.

[[File:Payday2 G36K preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The standard issue JP36. G36K and G36KV are all but indistinguishable these days, but the Navy style fire selector shows that this G36 is a KV.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

One might assume they use AKS-74Us due to the bakelite mags, but the curvature of the magazine indicates that it's chambered in 7.62x39mm. This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]
[[File:PD2 M4 Super 90 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note that the default barrel length of the gun is slightly shorter (or longer) than any configuration of the shotgun sold by Benelli. Fitting the "Long Barrel" mod to the gun will give it the proper length.]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M60(**)==
The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

[[File:PD2 R93 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The R93 fitted with the "Wooden Body" giving it a similar look to the rifle pictured above.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700|Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.
[[Image:Remington700SPS 308.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Remington 700 SPS - 7.62x51mm NATO. This is the current sporting variant of the original 700PSS/700P Design.]]

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

The primers are clearly unstruck in this shot.]]

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

[[file:Payday2 -hd1- rpg-7 reloading 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After inserting a new rocket, Wolf cocks the hammer, something very rarely shown in games.]]

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:Stielhandgranate.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 ammo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking at the feed chute shows some very oddly-colored bullets seemingly made of plastic, while the rounds beyond them in the belt are just flat textures.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 view left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In a Herculean attempt to one-up the 48-pound M134D, Hoxton hoists the whole Microgun up to take a gander at its impressively-detailed design, neverminding how tremendously heavy the whole thing must be if the weight of the ammo can and power system is taken into consideration.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 view right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto, right side.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 hold.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hoxton holding up a shooting range dummy with his newfangled Microgun.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having no sights, the most one can do is to slightly squint at the thing's left side to aim. Not a particularly wise decision considering how the carry handle is within spitting distance of the shooter's face.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading the Microgun. The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==Heckler & Koch HK416D==
In the opening live-action title sequence, Chains wields an airsoft [[HK416|Heckler & Koch HK416D]] rifle.

[[Image:Payday2HK416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The airsoft HK416D from the game's introductory video.]]

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

When uploading files, could you please not use the default Steam filenames? There's a chance that if multiple users upload files with default names on the same day they might end up overwriting each other's. Changing it to something like "PayDay2-(weapon name)-(number).jpg" works better and it's what we prefer. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 07:57, 10 May 2015 (EDT)

== About your edits to the Payday 2 page. ==

Now, i don't want to come across as a rude ass, but the edits you did to the UMP are entirely unnecessary. There's is no need to add a whole new batch of screenshots showing the gun being reloaded in that USC config because it's the same gun, neither is there any reason to point out the same facts twice in the entry, once in the description or on a pic is enough.

I've worked on the PD2 page for dozens of hours clearing up and removing useless screenshots showing the same thing over and over again in subsections that make it seem like modifying the weapon with "X" turns it into an entirely new weapon. If you're gonna add a new screenshot showing the weapon in a specific config, then only add ''one'' (potentially two) screenshots showing the weapon, adding new screens of the gun being reloaded is just a waste of space.

I hope you understood what im saying here as it will lead to less headaches for the both of us in further edits.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 06:42, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

== Can you help a fellow heister? ==

I was wondering if you could help me with some weapon related achs in PD2. Mainly i need to get the ones for the FAL and "The turtle always wins" one.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 10:30, 11 November 2016 (EST)
: Well to be honest I lucked out when I attempted those achievements and found a decent enough crew. I never got "The Turtle Always Wins" and have all but given up on trying because most players would either quit or kick me when they see me decking out in the ICTV. Stealth is just not my cup of tea, y'know :(( [[User:Shiro Okami|Shiro Okami]] ([[User talk:Shiro Okami|talk]]) 10:15, 12 November 2016 (EST)

== The PD M203 ==

Having a separate entry for the launcher is rather unnecessary. Since it isn't an attachment but a part of the HK417, it's a better idea to have both in the same entry.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 12:29, 16 December 2016 (EST)
:Good move. I wasn't sure where to put that so I made an entry under "Launchers" just to be safe since, you know, it is one. [[User:Shiro Okami|Shiro Okami]] ([[User talk:Shiro Okami|talk]]) 12:47, 16 December 2016 (EST)
::I would say that if the launcher is an optional attachment (such as in CoD) or a separate weapon (as in BF3/4) it deserves its own entry, but here the merge is better.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 13:04, 16 December 2016 (EST)

== PD2 Taran tactical rifle ==

Hey, i was thinking that maybe it would more appropriate to put the Taran rifle entry under assault rifles as the rifle is more of a weird AR/battle rifle mix rather than an actual sniper rifle.

==Info on SPAS 12==
Were you the one who updated the SPAS 12 page with the wording that the SPAS 12 would not cycle blanks? Just curious. Thanks MPM2008
: I don't recall wording it as such, though. My original edit was to state that the SPAS 12 has unreliable gas operation that makes cycling underpowered loads difficult, but another editor changed that into hot blanks, I believe. [[User:Shiro Okami|Shiro Okami]] ([[User talk:Shiro Okami|talk]]) 21:34, 24 June 2018 (EDT)
::Thanks. I'm trying to figure out WHO did that edit. They seem to speak decisively as if they have first hand knowledge. I know that YES, indeed there are blank adapted SPAS-12 shotguns in the movie industry. I can show you the BFAs inside the barrels. But most films use it in pump mode because it's more reliable. I didn't like the wording that it was 'impossible' to blank adapt the SPAS-12 since I'm looking at a SPAS-12 adapted for semi auto fire with blanks right now. Thanks for the reply. If it's a fellow movie armorer, I'd probably be surprised. :D best regards. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 05:14, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

==Screenshot order on RE3==
I appreciate the help on the RE3 page, even if our screenshots being different levels of brightness kind of irks me. But one thing I wanted to discuss how the page is organized. For gun listings, I always go alphabetical/numerical order within individual sections (Baikel, Beretta, Browning, Desert Eagle, so on). And for screenshots, I usually put things in chronological order (e.g., Mikhail on the subway with his pistol before Nicholai in NEST 2 with his pistol) and organize them cutscene first, gameplay second, and inventory third. You can see my standardized layout in its finished form on the ''[[Days Gone]]'' page. Is that organization standard okay with you or do you think a different one would be better? I also think it would be better to replace the gameplay images of Carlos using the Samurai Edge with Jill in her STARS outfit using it. What do you think? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 01:27, 10 April 2020 (EDT)
: I suppose the concern I have is that inventory previews should be placed ahead of gameplay screenshots, since that gives you a very big and clear gun model to compare with the real-life photo(s) immediately above them. Cutscene shots should ideally come last, since they ironically provide the least amount of visual clarity compared to the other two types due to lighting and angles of the picture. I wasn't even sure if we had some kind of "standard" in place, so I just went with how a vast majority of other pages organized their screenshots, which I found to be quite logical. As for the differences in brightness level, I was planning on replacing them anyway, since I took those with my gamma turned way up to compensate for sun glare, which I didn't notice until it was nighttime, and if you believe it would be more appropriate for Jill to hold the Samurai Edge, I'm game. [[User:Shiro Okami|Shiro Okami]] ([[User talk:Shiro Okami|talk]]) 01:52, 10 April 2020 (EDT)
::There isn't any agreed upon site-wide standard, that's just the standard I've applied to myself as I think it's the most aesthetically pleasing. Different editors here do it different ways, such as gun listings going by prominence rather than alphabetized or not using gun type headings (e.g., Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, etc.) at all. It's generally up to the person building the page. But you make a good argument for inventory screens to go first, so I have no complaints about doing it that way. Since we're both contributing heavily to it, I just wanted to get us on the same page and avoid conflicted editing. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 12:22, 10 April 2020 (EDT)
::: Don't sweat it, I'm glad we've managed to sort it out. Also, I've replaced many of the over-bright screenshots with proper ones, and gave Jill the Samurai Edge. I think I still have the Desert Eagle left, though. As for the gun listing, I agree fully with you on the alphabetical order.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.
[[File:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 17 (Generation 3) - 9x19mm]]

[[File:PD2 G17 Akimbo reloading3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|...then chambering said rounds. While difficult to see, the player character uses their index finger to flick the slide release on the left pistol.]]

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.
[[File:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]
[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

===Akimbo===
[[File:PD2 S&W M29 Akimbo.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Did he fire six shots, or only five? Doesn't matter; he's still got at least six left.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

==Thompson M1A1==
An unusable [[Thompson M1A1]] can be seen on display as part of Aldstone the butler's antique and heirloom collections in his quarters. Several are also seen in display cases in the McKendrick Museum's WW2-themed room found in the heist "The Diamond".

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.
[[Image:Yugoslav Model 61 Skorpion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|CZ vz. 61 E / Yugoslavian made M84 distinguishable by its black pistol grip - .32 ACP]]
[[File:PD2 Vz.61 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note the undermounted rail, which should clue players in that this was likely modeled after an airsoft replica. While there are similar rail mounts for the Skorpion, they are for the most part fixed to the barrel "neck" rather than the receiver itself.]]

Seemingly, nobody had ever clued the Payday gang in that mounting a large scope directly on top of where hot brass shoots out from is a bad idea. Also note the "Extended" magazine. Somehow two magazines clamped together give the gun a 40 round capacity. How it feeds from both magazines isn't clear, but it might be black magic.]]

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.

[[File:PD2 MPX left.jpg|thumb|601px|none|The in-game version seems to make use of a collapsible stock, which gets removed when dual-wielding. Also note the tiny magazine, which holds 20 rounds in-game, a good 10 more than the box's length might suggest.]]

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

[[file:AUG A2 PD2 reloading2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading. Note the bullets are actually modeled inside the magazine!]]
===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.
[[File:Ak 5C.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The true form of the rifle gains a leap to all important stats with the addition of the "Caesar" stock, "Karbin Ceres" foregrip and the recently introduced "CQB Barrel", decorated here with a yellow laser module and a Lancer L5 magazine.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

It still lacks any obvious source for the taser projectile to come from.]]

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.
[[file:HKG36KR.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Heckler & Koch G36KV - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 G36K preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The standard issue JP36. G36K and G36KV are all but indistinguishable these days, but the Navy style fire selector shows that this G36 is a KV.

[[File:Payday2 G36K attachments1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Festooned with toys.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas tugs the charging handle of a reloaded Para - none of the other AR-15 pattern rifles reloaded like this until update 65, when the AMR-16 received a similar animation).

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

[[File:PD2 AKMS misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Russian "light" mercs and (formerly) the Cloaker's Russian cousin in the Boiling Point heist use AKMSUs with a PBS-1 suppressor, railed handguard, an Aimpoint T1 Micro sight, no stock, and bakelite magazines. One might assume they use AKS-74Us due to the bakelite mags, but the curvature of the magazine indicates that it's chambered in 7.62x39mm. This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]
===Akimbo===

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

[[file:Payday2 SUB-2000G2 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The "Tooth Fairy Suppressor" foregrip option also puts the rest of the furniture into Gen 2 shape. It seems to be a slightly-modified mockup of the GemTech MK-9K suppressor and Red Lion Precision rail combo.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles.

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M1918A2 BAR==

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

The previous "mag-in" animation of the R93 shows a distinct lack of feed lips on the magazine, which is stunning when the mag is upended for a reload without the ammo inside flying all over the place. While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700|Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.
[[Image:Remington700SPS 308.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Remington 700 SPS - 7.62x51mm NATO. This is the current sporting variant of the original 700PSS/700P Design.]]

===Remington 700 VTR===
Equipping the R700 with the "Military Stock" produces a rough approximation of the Remington Model 700 VTR. The mod itself is quite unusually named, since the VTR is specifically produced for a civilian market and not used by any military force.

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:Stielhandgranate.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.
[[file:Minigun 2.JPG|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''.

[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 ammo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking at the feed chute shows some very oddly-colored bullets seemingly made of plastic, while the rounds beyond them in the belt are just flat textures.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==Heckler & Koch HK416D==
In the opening live-action title sequence, Chains wields an airsoft [[HK416|Heckler & Koch HK416D]] rifle.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

===Akimbo===
[[File:PD2 S&W M29 Akimbo.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Did he fire six shots, or only five? Doesn't matter; he's still got at least six left.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.
[[Image:Yugoslav Model 61 Skorpion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|CZ vz. 61 E / Yugoslavian made M84 distinguishable by its black pistol grip - .32 ACP]]
[[File:PD2 Vz.61 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note the undermounted rail, which should clue players in that this was likely modeled after an airsoft replica. While there are similar rail mounts for the Skorpion, they are for the most part fixed to the barrel "neck" rather than the receiver itself.]]

Somehow two magazines clamped together give the gun a 40 round capacity. How it feeds from both magazines isn't clear, but it might be black magic.]]

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

[[file:AUG A2 PD2 reloading2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading. Note the bullets are actually modeled inside the magazine!]]
===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.
[[File:Ak 5C.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The true form of the rifle gains a leap to all important stats with the addition of the "Caesar" stock, "Karbin Ceres" foregrip and the recently introduced "CQB Barrel", decorated here with a yellow laser module and a Lancer L5 magazine.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.

Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.
[[file:HKG36KR.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Heckler & Koch G36KV - 5.56x45mm]]

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

One might assume they use AKS-74Us due to the bakelite mags, but the curvature of the magazine indicates that it's chambered in 7.62x39mm. This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles.

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]
[[File:PD2 M4 Super 90 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note that the default barrel length of the gun is slightly shorter (or longer) than any configuration of the shotgun sold by Benelli. Fitting the "Long Barrel" mod to the gun will give it the proper length.]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700|Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.

===Remington 700 VTR===
Equipping the R700 with the "Military Stock" produces a rough approximation of the Remington Model 700 VTR. The mod itself is quite unusually named, since the VTR is specifically produced for a civilian market and not used by any military force.

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

The primers are clearly unstruck in this shot.]]

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:Stielhandgranate.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.
[[file:Minigun 2.JPG|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''. This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from ''Predator''; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 ammo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking at the feed chute shows some very oddly-colored bullets seemingly made of plastic, while the rounds beyond them in the belt are just flat textures.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==Heckler & Koch HK416D==
In the opening live-action title sequence, Chains wields an airsoft [[HK416|Heckler & Koch HK416D]] rifle.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 fired.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The grip-mounted laser module not only increases accuracy in itself, but its beam is completely unobtrusive when the sights are used. Note the small US flag on the back of the upgraded slide.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

===Akimbo===
[[File:PD2 S&W M29 Akimbo.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Did he fire six shots, or only five? Doesn't matter; he's still got at least six left.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5/10|MP5/10]] with its tell-tale straight box magazine is used exclusively by the Cloaker unit at launch, before the conversion kit was released to players in The Butcher's Mod Pack 2.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

The TMP's Solid Stock is out of place here, however, due to it being a Steyr product; a true MP9 is not naturally compatible with this kind of part due to the molded folding stock hinge.]]

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

Somehow two magazines clamped together give the gun a 40 round capacity. How it feeds from both magazines isn't clear, but it might be black magic.]]

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.
[[File:MPX SBR Gen 1 Keymod.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SIG-Sauer MPX SBR Gen 1, fitted with a KeyMod handguard - 9x19mm. It can be distinguished from the Gen 2 version by the different ejection port, the non-ambidextrous charging handle and the standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.]]
[[File:PD2 MPX left.jpg|thumb|601px|none|The in-game version seems to make use of a collapsible stock, which gets removed when dual-wielding. Also note the tiny magazine, which holds 20 rounds in-game, a good 10 more than the box's length might suggest.]]

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

[[file:AUG A2 PD2 reloading2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading. Note the bullets are actually modeled inside the magazine!]]
===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

===Ak 5B===

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.
[[File:Ak 5C.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The true form of the rifle gains a leap to all important stats with the addition of the "Caesar" stock, "Karbin Ceres" foregrip and the recently introduced "CQB Barrel", decorated here with a yellow laser module and a Lancer L5 magazine.

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 sights-c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the western type, but the extra lateral vision is a welcome change from the AR-15 fashion.]]

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T. Although difficult to spot in this screenshot, the receiver texture claims this weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, a caliber that the original FAL cannot support while the SA58 can by using a proprietary receiver. Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Rather strangely, the in-game M203 sports both a barrel clamp and rail mount brackets. Here Scarface is readying the HK417-mounted M203 upon a dangerously close dummy. Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm.

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

It still lacks any obvious source for the taser projectile to come from.]]

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.
[[file:HKG36KR.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Heckler & Koch G36KV - 5.56x45mm]]

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

One might assume they use AKS-74Us due to the bakelite mags, but the curvature of the magazine indicates that it's chambered in 7.62x39mm. This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]
[[File:PD2 M4 Super 90 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note that the default barrel length of the gun is slightly shorter (or longer) than any configuration of the shotgun sold by Benelli. Fitting the "Long Barrel" mod to the gun will give it the proper length.]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

The primers are clearly unstruck in this shot.]]

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

[[file:Payday2 -hd1- rpg-7 reloading 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After inserting a new rocket, Wolf cocks the hammer, something very rarely shown in games.]]

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from ''Predator''; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

The CrimeFest 2015 updates have also removed the movement speed penalty for machineguns, meaning the Minigun is now no more cumbersome than a dinky Walther PPK.]]
[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.
[[Image:Glock 18C.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful handguns in the game, only beaten out by the revolvers.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor is a powerful sidearm, fairly similar to the Crosskill, but with a somewhat larger magazine.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22 is a fairly reliable alternative to the other higher damage pistols like the Crosskill, with a larger base magazine capacity than it plus fairly high concealment; however, it is very poor at range.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK(**)==
The [[Walther PPK]] appears as the "Gruber Kurz", part of the Armored Transport DLC. It was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

The Kurz has one of the highest concealment ratings in the game, making it perfect for stealth. The rest of its stats are fairly similar to the Bernetti 9 - including its 14-round magazine capacity, double that of a real .32 PPK's.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. Stat-wise it is a generally superior version of the Crosskill pistol, only suffering in total ammo capacity and pickup rate. By default, it holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version). Its extended magazine, which ups the capacity to 20 rounds, unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons).

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23. A recent update puts the damage on the same level as the magnum handguns, and the long barrel mod puts it on the same level as DMR rifles, but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.

It has high damage and the ability to mount a scope, but low total ammo capacity, poor accuracy, and slow reloads limit its usefulness.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s.

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

[[File:PD2 RBull left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As seen here, the hammer was originally in SA mode and the trigger was in DA mode, with the hammer somehow cocking itself after each shot. This was later corrected to have both in DA mode.]]

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]]. The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models. In-general, the Compact-5 is a solid choice if you need a secondary with deep ammo pools, with solid stability and accuracy only tempered by measly damage.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5/10|MP5/10]] with its tell-tale straight box magazine is used exclusively by the Cloaker unit at launch, before the conversion kit was released to players in The Butcher's Mod Pack 2.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

The TMP's Solid Stock is out of place here, however, due to it being a Steyr product; a true MP9 is not naturally compatible with this kind of part due to the molded folding stock hinge.]]

[[File:Payday MP9 reload1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Although its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got shiny chrome bullets. As usual, the magazine sizes are all over the place, fitting 30 and 42 rounds in the 15-round stub and the 30-round option respectively.]]

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a confusing gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options and leave the Thompson for either specific builds or for screwing around.

==Thompson M1A1==
An unusable [[Thompson M1A1]] can be seen on display as part of Aldstone the butler's antique and heirloom collections in his quarters. Several are also seen in display cases in the McKendrick Museum's WW2-themed room found in the heist "The Diamond".

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

The M/45 is a very powerful submachine gun, with super high damage and high concealment making it perfect for stealth. However issues like the sights, small spare ammo (only one additional magazine), and poor stability make it a bit difficult to use.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC. Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

Somehow two magazines clamped together give the gun a 40 round capacity. How it feeds from both magazines isn't clear, but it might be black magic.]]

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development. The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds. The M11/9 is a decent alternative for someone running an uber 80's loadout with a high rate of fire and quick ammo pickup and some decent stability and accuracy for a bullet hose. However the sights are pretty tight, any modern option gets mounted very far on the barrel and a painfully long dry reload.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines. The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack". The Micro Uzi is a very powerful piece of kit, with a blazing rate of fire (tied with the MG42 and Vector at 1200rpm), fast reloads and great concealment. However the accuracy is pretty piddly, the sights can't be modded, and the high rate of fire plus fast reloads means you can very easily burn through your ammo.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece).

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, the Bizon-2 is a rather inaccurate weapon with quite some recoil, though the latter is already remedied by the SMG's average fire rate. On the flip side, it is as compact as one would think and boasts unusually high damage per shot despite being chambered in pistol ammunition.

Like the AK-12 in the same pack, the Bizon-2 lacks unique modifications.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines. It performs similarly to the existing Olympic Arms K23P with some minor stat differences and supports dual-wielding.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The AUG is a weird gun that is built more for accuracy than anything else. Apart from its stellar damage and accuracy, the AUG has very few mods that improve upon anything else ''but'' these two stats. Combined with how pretty much every other stat is gimped to the point of uselessness, this makes the AUG an attractive option for starting players, but is quickly phased out when other, more moddable gear become available.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74 but has obviously more damage and more punch that allows it to stay in the game for higher difficulties with ease. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
[[File:AK 5.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bofors Ak 5 - 5.56x45mm.]]

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to train with to run right. It's similar to the AKMS except with a much higher fire rate meaning you can easily annihilate your ammo as you also only get 3-4 mags. Trigger control is key to make good use out of this USGI standard.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies. The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kinda sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle. The Clarion's a deceiving gun because at first you think it's a normal rifle that operates like any other assault rifle. But when you get to using it, it's a bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment that makes it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in the 25-round magazine and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs. The most all-rounder out of all the Assault Pack weapons, the Gecko is so jack of all trades that most people forget it exists.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine. While in standard form the Gewehr is similar to both the Eagle Heavy and the Falcon, it has two home town advantages with it's selectable kits. The assault kit gives it tons of ammo at a cost of lowered damage while the DMR kit makes it a bootleg M308, giving it some variety over the other two battle rifles.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction. With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar". The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine. Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model. And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock. It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant). And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", it sports very low recoil and a high fire rate at the cost of mediocre damage and a barely-above-par accuracy down range.

Modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.
[[Image:FN F2000 tactical.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN F2000 Tactical - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]

[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles. In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout. And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21". It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer. The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it lacks on stealth but that's for it's boo-hoo little brother.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The Izhma is the shotgun that has aged the worst in comparison to all the others, as the low damage is too much of a con to make this really interesting anymore, especially when the Grimms exist. You ''can'' make it lethal with some skill stacking, but even then other shotguns are better at that so you probably won't bother.

The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate. And I do mean high, this thing blitzes harder than every other auto shotgun in the game and is ungodly powerful if you spec it right.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39. While limited to only two shots, the Mosconi is a violently entertaining gun due to its whopping damage. 155 stock and not counting mods or skills means this thing easily kills most SWAT in one blast and allowing super small versions with high concealment at a cost of removing any accuracy this might have.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who either A: doesn't have the shotgun DLC or B: Has it but doesn't want to go through really tedious achievements to get parts. A decent enough shotgun for what it is that is still inferior to most others.

The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E. While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube. While with similar low damage to the other semi-auto shotguns in-game, the M1014's high rate of fire and ammo pool make it somewhat more usable although the low damage definitely hurts it a little.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]
[[File:PD2 M4 Super 90 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Note that the default barrel length of the gun is slightly shorter (or longer) than any configuration of the shotgun sold by Benelli. Fitting the "Long Barrel" mod to the gun will give it the proper length.]]

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Added in the Gage Shotgun DLC, the Raven is a decent all around shotgun stat wise boasting good concealment and mag capacity that make it quite useful for stealth or loud depending on how much relative fun you want to have.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC)

It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto. With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine. There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision Six12|Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game. While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns. Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine. A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine. The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

[[File:PD2 R93 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The R93 fitted with the "Wooden Body" giving it a similar look to the rifle pictured above.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage. If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification. With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but still the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine. If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter]. And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish. The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian. The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom is decent enough at that to make it worthwhile to use for a maximum slav build.

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt. The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds. Problem is that it's a GL40 with six cylinders you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore.

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game. It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

[[file:Payday2 -hd1- rpg-7 reloading 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After inserting a new rocket, Wolf cocks the hammer, something very rarely shown in games.]]

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon.

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers. That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)). Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm. It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

[[File:PD2 M320 aiming.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Iron sights. Disappointingly, the M320's leaf sight is not actually usable, not even as a gadget like that of the M79 and China Lake.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:Stielhandgranate.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay. It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]
==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

Despite being based on a 5.56x45mm weapon, the Microgun is strangely more powerful than the 7.62x51mm M134D. Other than rate of fire and damage, both weapons handle the same way.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]

[[File:PD2 XM556 aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having no sights, the most one can do is to slightly squint at the thing's left side to aim. Not a particularly wise decision considering how the carry handle is within spitting distance of the shooter's face.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==Heckler & Koch HK416D==
In the opening live-action title sequence, Chains wields an airsoft [[HK416|Heckler & Koch HK416D]] rifle.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.
