I'm carrying an NX Rare AR (REC7 Rangers) so I can't obviously tell you, go use this gun and x gun to do well. Everyone excels with different weaponry, just problem is too much weight and not enough speed. It favors speed gear/specs over tanking ability, unless you plan on just camping/guarding teammates.

I used both my Rangers and TPG-1 Master, to rack up my kills but of course, I spent a bit of time dying and getting little gold back. So my net gain of EXP/GP was negligible, compared to a full out Elim match. Using Hawk as my spec of choice, along with a Medkit (self-only) to keep going.

I'd recommend a good AR, that you can handle and a sniper to actually use also. Pick shots and watch people, especially those with gold as you can sometimes pick shots. Teammates try carrying the extra gold, but sometimes get weighed down by the lack of speed.

Also carry less guns if you feel the need, but go with a good enough balance to suit your playing. If I want to go with 1-2 guns I'll either take spec or Vet Backpack, so I can carry 2 guns while also being able to keep my mobility.
