Uncommon/Rare Weapons that excel in PvP

With the PvP damage multiplier applied to weapon damage at 270 power being the same regardless of weapon rarity, I decided to create another alt character to collect weapons along the way to see if there were any that would be viable in PvP but currently be under the radar because any current level 27s like myself would have discarded these weapons already due to their not being epic or legendary rarity.  While there weren't really any secondaries besides the AT Anokhin sniper (not listed below) or pistols that stood out to me, there were quite a few primary weapons (mostly auto rifles) that did stand out.  If you are thinking of making an alt character or are someone new that is leveling up to 27, you will definitely want to keep these in your inventory for use in PvP until you reach level 20.

**AT Chekov S.E. (more accurate Shadow)**

Base damage in PvP: 11.9 (Same as Shadow)

Fire Rate: 400

Accuracy: 17

Range: 42

Magazine Capacity: 29

This is an uncommon (green) auto rifle that is the very first quest reward that you receive. It's basically a Shadow with a slightly lower fire rate, 1 more bullet in the magazine, and higher accuracy. I used this gun the most out of all of these weapons in PvP below level 20 because it is so very good.

**AT Leonov**

Base damage in PvP: 12.6 (Same as Faraday Accelerator)

Fire Rate: 370

Accuracy: 14

Range: 43

Magazine Capacity: 25

This is labeled as a burst rifle within the bundle for 1,500 gold that is available for sale at Willow's, but it is actually an auto rifle, not a burst rifle. It is a great stand-in for Faraday due to the great static perks that come with it (10% dmg, 7% fire rate), and it's a pretty pay to win element that exists in the game for playing PvP below level 20.

**PZ-945 Nexus S.E. (Cutlass clone)**

Base damage in PvP: 11.9 (Same as Shadow)

Fire Rate: 400

Accuracy: 20

Range: 45

Magazine Capacity: 20

This is a rare (blue) auto rifle that is sold in Willow's store for 250 gold. This gun is an exact clone of the PZ-945 Cutlass event weapon that was released in the Blueballs event, and used to be one of my favorite primaries for PvP.

**PZ-487 Barramundi (slightly slower Niko's Stopper)**

Base damage in PvP: 10.5 (Same as Niko)

Fire Rate: 410

Accuracy: 22

Range: 42

Magazine Capacity: 30

This is a rare (blue) auto rifle that is a quest reward for the level 14 side quest Anomalous Behavior 2.  This gun used to be my holy grail until MFG nerfed the base damage on it.  It's a great stand in for Niko before you can obtain a Niko in Arena Silver.

**AT Somov MF (most similar to Lambent Flame)**

Base damage in PvP: 12.6 (Same as Faraday Accelerator)

Fire Rate: 390

Accuracy: 12

Range: 42

Magazine Capacity: 25

This is a rare (blue) auto rifle that can be dropped in PvE while leveling.  The gun is very close to the stats of the Lambent Flame, trading 0.7 base damage points for 5 more bullets in the clip and firing 10 more bullets per minute.

**Tyrell B (faster firing/slightly weaker Nordic Guard '49)**

Base damage in PvP: 9.1 (Same as Skull Blaster 3000)

Fire Rate: 490

Accuracy: 20

Range: 42

Magazine Capacity: 33

This is a rare (blue) auto rifle that can be dropped in PvE while leveling.  The gun is very close to the stats of the Nordic Guard '49, but it fires 20 more rounds per minute.  All other stats are almost the exact same for PvP as the Nordic Guard except for the fact that it deals 0.7 less damage per hit.

**Chandra (a high accuracy blend of Liberator and Wintermute)**

Base damage in PvP: 8.4 (same as Plasma Blaster)

Fire Rate: 580

Accuracy: 8

Range: 27

Magazine Capacity: 40

This is an uncommon (green) SMG that is a quest reward while leveling.  Although it does lower damage per hit than Wintermute, it fires 30 more bullets per minute, has higher base accuracy and 5 more bullets in the magazine.

**Sakar (Project Embra MK II clone)**

Base damage in PvP: 9.8 (Same as Embra Mk II)

Fire Rate: 420

Accuracy: 24

Range: 42

Magazine Capacity: 40

This is a common (grey) auto rifle that sometimes appears in Willow's shop for purchase with in game credits and also drops in missions while leveling. It is almost an exact clone of the Project Embra MK II, but it actually has higher base accuracy and range! If you weren't able to farm for those eggs, never fear!

**PZ-256 Paindriver**

Base damage in PvP: 44.8 (5.6 per pellet)
Fire Rate: 115
Accuracy: 3
Range: 21
Magazine Capacity: 8

This is an epic (purple) shotgun that is a quest reward in the campaign.  It is a faster firing style shotgun and it happens to have the lowest time to kill (TTK) of any shotgun in the game right now because of its higher damage per round than the likes of the Singh's Song and PZ-14L Caw.

**PZ-808TRE Mag 9 (Shatterer with bigger mag)**

Base damage in PvP: 50.4 (6.3 per pellet)
Fire Rate: 90
Accuracy: 3
Range: 21
Magazine Capacity: 9

This is a rare (blue) shotgun that is a random drop while campaigning at lower levels.  It has the exact same stats as the Shatterer shotgun that is obtained through Nitro's; however, it has one more round in the magazine, which is very helpful for PvP.  I've found that this is my favorite shotgun to use in PvP in both Duels and Team PvP for its versatility and forgiveness due to the relatively large magazine.

Many thanks go to Sagrawa for starting me on this journey with his discovery of the PZ-945 Nexus S.E. Also gotta give a shout out to my fellow partners in crime, Halide and NateGoregasm, who would send me screenshots of the various things they found along the way. Also, thanks to ASGARD, who let me know of the method of obtaining the Nexus through bundle purchases, and gzpl, who pointed out that the common version of the Sakar auto rifle is actually a closer clone of the Embra MK II than the Veidt A, which I removed from this list. Additionally, I have to thank Freakoh for my inclusion of the AT Chekov S.E. due to the fact that its high base damage and larger mag dish out somewhat similar damage to Faraday when buffed and geared properly.
