Hood Warfare 2 Weapon Tier List: S to C Ranked

Which Hood Warfare 2 weapons are strongest right now?

Ranked by customisability, not damage: the Mac-10 sits in S tier with five attachment slots, while the AKM and M-14 take three each. Left over are four one-slot guns and the Combat Knife. This list ranks how much you can change a weapon, because that is the one thing the game files confirm.

Tier	Weapon	Class	Slots	Why it sits here
S	Mac-10	SMG	5	The most configurable gun in the game: magazine, muzzle, suppressor, stock and underbarrel
S	AKM	Assault Rifle	3	Magazine, muzzle and stock — a complete mid-range rebuild
S	M-14	Rifle	3	Magazine, muzzle and optic, so it works scoped or scopeless
A	M40A5	Rifle	2	Optic and muzzle only, but that is the full sniper package: scope plus suppressor
A	Glock	Pistol	2	Extended mag and the Glock switch, two genuinely functional sidearm accessories
A	Pistol	Pistol	2	Flashlight and suppressor, making it a quiet secondary
B	AK-47	Assault Rifle	1	Underbarrel grip only, so the rest of its behaviour is fixed
B	Uzi	SMG	1	Extended mag only
B	X24	Pistol	1	Magazine only
B	12-Gauge	Shotgun	1	Optic only
C	Combat Knife	Melee	0	No slots at all

Why does the Mac-10 sit at the top?

Because it accepts more attachment types than any other weapon in Hood Warfare 2 — five of the seven slots. A gun you can reshape that far can be built for close-quarters rushing, quiet objective play, or sustained pressure without ever changing weapon, which is exactly what a tier list should reward.

The same logic lifts the AKM and M-14: three slots is enough to change a gun’s effective range band, while the one-slot group (AK-47, Uzi, X24, 12-Gauge) is stuck close to how it ships.

Which weapon should I use in each game mode?

Match the weapon to what the mode pays you for, not to its tier. Turf War and Hit A Lick reward holding ground, so mid-range guns win; Chaos and Chain Snatch reward speed; Destroy The Block is the only mode where a deep magazine matters more than anything else.

Mode	Bring	Why
Turf War	Assault rifle or rifle	You are holding territory, and mid-range control beats close-range speed
GangBang	SMG	A straight kill race, so fast handling wins repeated trades
Chaos	SMG or pistol	No teammates and no loyalty — mobility and quick recovery decide fights
Hit A Lick	Suppressed mid-range	You escort a bag carrier and need to disappear afterwards
Destroy The Block	Anything with a big magazine	One life per round, so sustained pressure on the site pays
Chain Snatch	SMG	You grab chains and leave; long fights are how you lose them

Which weapons work best on each map?

Map structure decides it, and all four launch maps support all six modes. Downtown and Suburbs have the sightlines for rifles and assault rifles; The Trenches and Chicago Mall remove long sightlines almost entirely, which pushes SMGs and shotguns to the front.

Map	Favours	Why
Downtown	Rifles and assault rifles	Street lanes and building frontage give mid-to-long sightlines
Suburbs	Assault rifles and rifles	Property-to-property peeking rewards controlled mid-range play
The Trenches	SMGs and shotguns	Constrained lanes force every fight close
Chicago Mall	SMGs and shotguns	Indoor corridors and storefronts remove distance entirely

Which attachments actually move a weapon up a tier?

The ones that change behaviour rather than looks. A suppressor turns any objective mode into a flanking game, a bigger magazine removes the vulnerable reload window, and a vertical grip is the only underbarrel option in the game — which is precisely why the Mac-10 ranks first.

Attachments are earned through per-weapon challenges, not bought, so raising a weapon’s tier means committing to that gun across a stretch of matches. Kills with each gun also unlock its skins.

Where do these attachment slots come from?

The seven slot types are Optic, Magazine, Muzzle, Underbarrel, Stock, Accessory and Canted Sight — the game’s own attachment-type list. Which weapons accept which slot comes from the per-weapon attachment assets bundled with each gun, such as the AKM’s default magazine, muzzle and stock, or the Glock’s extended mag and switch.

What about damage, fire rate and the other stat numbers?

This page deliberately does not publish them. Hood Warfare 2 stores Damage, Range, Fire Rate, Mobility, Control and Accuracy per weapon inside compressed data assets that are not readable as text, and no public source lists verified figures — so any “damage number” you see on another wiki is guesswork.

Can every weapon be ranked?

No — six of the game’s weapon names cannot be ranked honestly. The Hood Warfare 2 weapon enum lists ARX-19, MG-B63, XM495, X25, M83 and MPX8, but nothing in the shipped build links those names to a model or a slot set, so they stay unranked rather than being guessed into the S or C tier.

Unranked name	Best guess (unconfirmed)
ARX-19	Class-default assault rifle
MG-B63	Class-default machine gun
XM495	Class-default shotgun
X25	Pistol variant
M83	Pistol variant
MPX8	Class-default SMG

Why does the game list 17 weapons but only 11 have data?

The enum is the game’s full weapon registry; the other six appear to be the fallback weapons behind each class animation set. They may be unreleased, or simply internal placeholders that never received their own assets.

Where do I go next?

Set up one flexible loadout first, then learn the maps with bots in a private match. If you want the full weapon roster with classes and skin sets, the weapon list page has it; if you want to know exactly which attachments exist in each slot, the attachment guide covers all 17.
