Pandemic Mode - Gun Choice 101
Warning !! Before you read this guide, you must know their are some spoilers on upcoming guns and such. Please do not read ahead if you would like to be surprised in the future for some upcoming guns.
A Big Thanks to TrogdorTB for the idea of a Pandemic Mode Guide. I've gotten alot of feedback saying my posts were useless, so I'm going to try to make a guide that actually helps people. Although Pandemic mode is not out yet, I'd like to give the reader an incite onto the gun choices to use before it comes out, just to give the reader a heads up.
In no way am I trying to profit from this. I'm just here trying to help people out. I like the feeling I get when I get good feedback.
This guide was writen based on my own experiences on Japanese Crossfire. Some info in this guide may be incorrect. Although I don't know how it would be, cause it's based on my own experiences.
Now, onto the guide.
1. Assault Rifles/Primary Weapons
M4A1(Any)
A very decent choice. Although the mags in this gun is very limited during the use in Pandemic Mode, (30/90), the gun makes up in accuracy. If aimed with perfection to the head, this gun can pull off a victory for the soldiers. Single shotting on a zombie will cause the zombie to be pushed back, and headshots will cause more then 100 damage. Very fairweighted gun, and a good enough rate of fire.
Recommendation level - 9/10. Very useful, the only downsides are the limited bullet time.
AK47(Any)
Another decent gun choice while playing Pandemic Mode. Great accuracy while one shotting, horrible while spraying. It is recommended for you to spray while only in close range. If your skilled enough, the zombies shouldn't even be that close to you in the first place. This gun is known for its power, and popular in many FPS games. Like the M4A1, the mags are a downside. Surprisingly, 120 bullets in Pandemic mode just doesn't seem to do it. Fairweight gun, good rate of fire.
Recommendation level - 8.5/10. Another great choice. This gun isn't recommended for people who can't control recoil, or arent that great in 1-shotting. Mags is another downside.
Steyr-AUG A1
The Steyr AUG A1 is a modular, bullpup configuration rifle. It is equipped with a a telescopic sight for shooting at range. Great for one shotting, zoom makes it even better for headshots. Will do over 100 damage if shot in the head. 30/90 mags, good enough recoil, and medium fire rate.
Recommendation level - 8/10 recommended for professional AUG users. This gun can be very hard to control at times, but is reliable choice when you want those far ranged shots. Of course, one shotting with any other gun is just as reliable, this gun offers a better zoom. Fire rate is lacking compared to M4A1 and AK-47, mags are just the same towards other 30/90 assault Rifles.
2) SHOTGUNS
Whats a zombie game without shotguns?!?! Shotguns are very reliable at close range. When a Zombie is chasing you down, back peddle, pull out your shotgun, and just hold down your left key on your mouse. The semi-automatic feature in the SPAS-12 and XM1014 is just awesome, and shooting after reloading one bullet just adds more to the superiorocity of shotguns. The bullet spray in shotguns give great damage on a zombie, and the pushback of a shotgun is just like any other gun. 6-8/32 bullets is enough to take down one zombie with a group, and multiple, it gives a great spray of bullets. But the mag still seems to small, as a full game hold up to 16 players at a given time.
Recommendation level - 6.5/10 Although great for close range, it lacks alot at far-ranged, which assault rifles have. It has the same pushback as other guns which is a big downer, but it is semi-automatic, and the damage is pretty great. The mags seem to be a downer in all guns as of now. If you want a challenge, I say go for it, use a shotgun. Assault rifles still have the upper hand, I'm afraid. Sorry shotguns, I guess you'll have to rule in another game, such as CB arms, perhaps?
3) Sub-Machine Guns
MP5
The Rate of Fire on this gun is great. Mags is 30/120, 40/120 for advanced which is 140-160 bullets, pretty good I must say. But the accuracy is not that great. When spraying, your bullets will go all around, not many will hit. Bursting close range is recommended, far ranged, not to much. Reload rate is fairly decent.
Recommendation level - 6/10. I used this gun and I was just not doing well. I tried bursting far ranged and my shots were still off, spraying didn't help. Close range did okay. Although their is more bullet capacity on this gun, and the rate of fire is quick, it makes up for the lack of range and power.
P90
Close quarters and you'll r*pe. Far range, your pretty much f***ed. Great rate of fire. Big magizine pouch, but reload is fairly slow and like stated before, range is lacking. Great for pushing back those zombies, but when your reloading, RUN THE F*** AWAY or your screwed.
Recommendation - 6.5/10. Better then the MP5 I must say. It's a great gun, but it just sucks when far-ranged. Good for pushback, but if you don't want the zombies near you at all times, I don't recommend you use this. Use an assault rifle. If you are in with a group of people, then I'd recommend you use it, as more bullets = more pushback since your team will be likely to be shooting at the zombies as well.
Uzi
Rate of Fire is GODLY. Crap damage, crap range, crap recoil, crap mag size. if you have a fast ass rate of fire and a big clip, your going to waste those bullets quickly. and the power of the gun doesn't help much either.
Recommendation Level - 2/10. CF Uzi just seems to be like utter crap. Use this gun if your challenging yourself, and I mean CHALLENGING. Your not going to be able to take down one zombie, and headshots won't even count as 100 damage. Range is utter crap...ugh... bad bad bad.
Thompson/Tommy Gun/Tommy
GREAT Rate of fire. GREAT range, yes... it does have good range, surprisingly. Good damage, and The mag size is pretty awesome, a whopping 60/120. If a zombies chasing your ass, back peddle, and unload your bullets. Reload rate is slow, but everything else on the gun makes up for it.
Recommendation level - 9/10. All around good gun. If your serious about trying to kill zombies, Use this gun, you'll get tons of damage on them, great pushback. Just be sure to be around a group of people when you reload, or you'll be sorry.
4) Handguns
Desert Eagle
The almighty famous deagle doesn't dissapoint in Zombie Mode. Great range for a pistol, good round of mags for a pistol, amazing damage for a pistol (hits over 100 damage when shot at the head), Rate of Fire is enough to not blame for when you turn into a zombie, just,... great.
Recommendation Level - 10/10. Use this handgun when you play Pandemic Mode. Don't use as you would as a primary weapon, use when your all out of bullets on your primary. This gun just won another popularity point in FPS games.
Anaconda
Good Rate of Fire, Amazingly GODLIKE range, not great damage, but done to the head, 100 damage. guarenteed. Reload has a sexy animation, and is medium.
Recommendation level 8.5/10 Stick to the Desert Eagle. This should be a second choice handgun. Although, if your good at one shotting to the head, use it, but still, D-eagle has superiority over this gun. Sorry Anaconda fans.
Will add alot more later on. My hands are tired from typing.
Some pictures will be missing due to the 10 limit picture thingy.

A Big Thanks to TrogdorTB for the idea of a Pandemic Mode Guide.
Aww I feel so loved.
Thanks for thanking me. :P
I'm reading your guide now, may I add a link to in my zombie mode guide? (As mine is a general guide and I'd like to include all possible aspects a guide could have.) -

Only if you allow me to add the link to your zombie guide to mine.
Thanks, I do love you xD. -
OMG OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS? i use the uzi in zombies all the time on JP crossfire, and its AMAZING
. it doesnt do much damage, but a 3 round burst can push them back 4/5 feet. uzi/m9 combo is the best for zombies
I guess your right. I'll edit your reasoning in. -

I played this mode in CF Japan. And believe me this guide FAIL!
You need a powerful gun which have MANY bullets like the M60(100/200). In CF Japan Black Market they also have M60-Adv(150/300), RPK(75/225), Gatling gun(150/300 - the most useful in Zombie Mode), and many more MG.
The M4, Stey-aug will definitely not help you in this mode. AK may help you a little cuz it's powerful
They also have Dual-UZI, Kriss in GP shop, M4 Crystal, Scar-L(35/140) [LOL], Kriss-Camo(40/160) [ROFL]
