Having the best loadouts in Thunder Tier One will give you an edge over your enemies. This tactical shooter from developer Krafton requires precision when choosing from its vast arsenal of weapons and equipment. Whether you're in command of an assault rifle, sniper, or machine gun, choosing the right kit is paramount.
This Thunder Tier One guide will provide you with three of the best loadouts in the game. We'll tell you which primary and secondary weapons work best in these specific builds, as well as what kind of armor you should be wearing. These builds also pair well with Grenades and Night Vision Goggles.
Thunder Tier One Assault Rifle Gear
Primary Loadout Weapon: AS Val
The AS Val is a Soviet assault rifle with special 9x39mm piercing bullets that can penetrate armor and walls at close range. These rounds aren't as effective at long range, but that doesn't matter much for this version, which is designed for close combat.
This weapon can also be used in loadouts for stealth builds, as it comes with an integrated silencer. You can also switch to single shot mode to be very precise and extremely quiet.
Add the following attachments to the AS Val in this loadout for better performance in all missions:
- PK-A visor for better targeting
- IR laser for night vision aiming
Loading secondary weapon: CZ75
This semi-automatic pistol has a massive 16 round magazine and is pretty accurate, those are the two main things you should be looking for in a secondary weapon in any loadout.
If you want to use the CZ75 in a stealth build, attach a silencer, as it doesn't come with its own like the AS Val.
Cargo Armor: 6B5-18 (Type IV)
6B5-18 (Type IV) armor is quite heavy, but if you're playing a stealth build, this shouldn't be a problem in combat. Besides its heaviness, it offers excellent protection from all sides, including the back and sides.
As for the vest, get BHI or similar for an increased number of magazine pouches.
Thunder Tier One Sniper Rifle Gear
Main Loading Weapon: L96A1
The most important element of any good sniper rifle is muzzle velocity, which influences the range of the weapon. The higher the velocity, the faster the bullets fly, and the L96A1 Rifle has the best balance between muzzle velocity and accuracy in Thunder Tier One, making it a prime candidate for top loadouts in the game.
This sniper rifle uses 7,62×51mm ammunition, but must be fitted with a silencer for noise suppression. Finally, you will need a good telescope, like the PMII, but you can choose whatever you want.
Loading secondary weapon: CZ75
The CZ75 is clearly the best gun in Thunder Tier One, and it not only has the biggest magazine but also the highest muzzle velocity among all the other guns, which is a nice addition to a sniper rifle loadout.
Be sure to add some accessories to it, like a pistol silencer and a laser for better aiming.
Loadout Armor: Defender (Type III)
Defender is another piece of heavy armor perfectly suited for sniper gear, as you won't need to move too much anyway. However, the Defender (Type III) has additional plates that will protect you from stray bullets.
As for the vest, choose the 6SH92, which has eight magazine slots to carry extra ammo for your sniper rifle.
Tier One Thunder Machine Gun Gear
Primary Loadout Weapon: RPD
The RPD is a Soviet light machine gun with high damage and the highest accuracy among all Thunder Tier One machine guns. It uses 7,62×54mm cartridges, which are the same type used in the AK-47; these shells can penetrate armor and walls.
You won't need a silencer for the gun in this loadout, but grab a laser and an ACOG scope with 4x magnification as two of your main attachments to increase your accuracy.
Loading secondary weapon: Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 fits the machine gun build better than the CZ75 due to its high accuracy and 15-round magazine. Although the M9 has a slightly reduced magazine, it is heavier than the CZ75, which adds to its stability.
Be sure to give him a silencer and a laser for better accuracy and possible stealth action.
Loadout Armor: Defender (Type III)
Since you'll be using a cumbersome weapon that will slow you down in this loadout anyway, you can keep the Defender Armor (Type III) and combine it with the Alice Vest, which is perfect for machine gun magazines.
Also, don't forget to equip grenades, night vision goggles, and a med kit for a complete set.
These are the three best Thunder Tier One loadouts. If you found this article useful, please share it!
