#battlefield1 #battlefield #tierlist
Someone else has finally realized the beauty of the bodeo, even if its only A teir. Still my favorite revolver
As I like to say, the Bodeo bodes well, especially when I get tired of the mars automatic 😂
Holy crap it’s der rote kampfflieger
Its my favorite Scout sidearm, I main it actually when I am a scout, I try to patrol and keep flares popped.
My personal favorite sidearm is the nagant revolver, because of the quick reload where they remove the entire cylinder. It is so cool and unique.
That’s totally valid!
Peacekeeper owner here: it’s the GOAT, hands down.
Despite many being reskins or having weird damage models, I still love the quantity approach BF1 took to its sidearms, especially when there's so much quality to seeing all the weird late 19th/early 20th century sidearms coming to life and doing their thing: The Nagant's sweet reloads which you mentioned previously, both on the alternating individual and the removal of the whole cylinder, the Kolibri not only existing but having the greatest 3rd person prone animation to boot, the Mars Automatic having the piggish recoil it was described as having in navy tests as it's overcomplex mechanism cycles, the C-93 being so commanding and back heavy as its doorknob looking toggle flicks or just this game introducing me to my favorite gun to the point it made me want to work towards animating it (badly) myself: The former Austrian bricky 9mm; the bullet-spewing Steyr-Hahn M1912 (my beloved). Even just the little spinny that happens a good chunk of times I whip the Howdah out for a spin before smattering someone with enough bullets to put down a grown buffalo. And the Peacekeeper is the embodiment of "bones spinning sticks of steel are sooo hardcore." (Alas, I was mad enough to get the Black Bess Landship skin, but not the Colt). Waffling aside, I can't wait for your primary rankings. And just on the subject, are you planning to rank each weapon on their own, or pitting their variants against each other? Or doing some comprise like ranking the M1903 Springfield/MP-18 Experimental and the slug shotguns separately as their own things versus the originals? Regardless, another banger of a video.
Not to spoil too much, but for the sake of time and because even extreme variants share most of the same stats, for the most part I'll be ranking all variants together, better or more meaningfully diverse variants will contribute to an increased score. The only exceptions will be a certain Medic weapon which has it's own icon, and mayyybe a specific Scout weapon that reworks the weapon in a similarly drastic fashion.
The GOAT of weapon ranking is back LET'S GOOOOOOO
1911 not top tier. lmao
Me squinting at the Fosbury's rotation when zoomed in due to the most opulent gold skin. Frfr I love the list glad you're back.
Haha yeah, not gonna lie the skin is a bit much, and thanks by the way.
Something forgotten about the nagant revolver, its empty reload is much faster than its tactical reload, you replace the cylinder
real life nagant revolver also is slow to fire because of how it work - if you does not cock it manually, your trigger have to push the cylinder forward to form a gas seal, it is HEAVY
The C96 is interesting in that it works in game exactly the same way that it does in real life. Not mechanically, but in the way that people perceive it. People see a C96 and think "Oh wow, I can't wait to check that out!" And then they shoot it and all of that interest melts away.
Insightful
The Lugar is my personal favourite. The style cannot be matched. Sometimes it's not about the gameplay effectiveness, its about the pure style of using it.
I can dig that
I'm glad you're a man of culture and gave the Gasser its proper ranking. It's a chad's pistol. I remember pulling it out in open sections, specifically one time on Empire's Edge, just headshotting and pistol sniping guys out past my effective SMG range. Use it right and it's a second primary. Absolute S tier and my favorite for sure
Totally agree
@@professormemsclassthere’s one of those bf1 no HUD movies where a solider executes another with a gassier and fans the hammer so it defo exists
@@TheSuperSpud I was trying so hard to find an example, cause I swear I had seen it before, then even resorted to trying to figure it out myself with a friend so I could demonstrate it, but it just never materialized, hence why I said what I did in the video, the fanning animation seems like an old oft-repeated legend.
@@professormemsclass idk what’s up with it cuz I know it’s existed at some point
More BF firearms ranking. Yeaaaaaah
Opening a Battlefield 1 video with Red Dead 2 music? Ken Jeong in Mexican regalia: "I'll allow it."
My absolute favorite series on youtube. Please, please, please keep doing these lists.
You've got it!
I think the Frommer Stop is S tier when paired with the Martini Henry. The MH does 90 body damage under 20 meters which means you only need one shot to finish them off. This makes the fastest drawing sidearm the best. Bonus points for the Frommer's high rate of fire.
Been a huge fan of your BF tier lists, so good to see you finally get into my favorite one with BF 1! It was only a year ago now I finally decided to take on the Peacekeeper puzzle, a monument to how much I simply love this game. It was very rewarding after 3 straight days of work, I even recorded the whole thing. An incredibly fun gun for sure.
Always hyped for your uploads!!
Phenomenal video enjoyed it greatly especially the minutia, I feel like I understand separation between the class exclusives more, and the overall dynamic they were going for when they carefully placed all the weapons in the categories in which they belong. Thank you for the video keep up the good work.
yoooo thank you , most videos about bf1 are really old , its really cool to see videos about it that are new , you earned my subscribe!
Thanks!
I’m grateful that you included the peacekeeper, a few similar vids I’ve seen didn’t even mention it. Had a blast doing the puzzles and trials to acquire the weapon and have been having even more blasts using it. A reliable sidearm capable of sniping and clearing rooms with ease and something that I never get tired of using.
Yo I just binged all your weapon ranking videos earlier today and loved them it’s crazy you drop another the day I find you - killer stuff you’re hands down one of the best battlefield content creators I’ve seen :)
Thank you very much!
Hell nah he used tf2 AND MGR music??? Professor Mem is goated
Nice video! Will be waiting for other weapon classes
My personal favourite is the c93. I don't really find the toggle action distracting and I just see it as just a mle 1903 with a bigger magazine capacity and much faster reload. I like it more than the 1911 as i value fire rate and longer range over damage per shot.
Valid, same reason I prefer the Mle 1903 slightly over the M1911, but indeed with that slower reload which I will admit, is hard to ignore.
I just came across this video and loved it, went back to watch all your others too- and I don’t even like BFV much. I like your content a lot, especially given that you seem to have a real appreciation for the mechanical appeal and flair of these guns. Would love to see more!
So glad to hear it!
Your content is so chill, I watch it on repeat sometimes
I appreciate it!
Glad to have this video on my Recommended, I love Battlefield 1 with a passion. M1911 is my personal favorite gun of all time, in games and in real life, but the all other pistols in the game are so fun to use, half of them I need to unlock so I can't wait to get my hands on them!
My list ain't that different, just would put the C96 in C tier. Also good to see someone that actually knows what he's talking about when doing a tier list like this. Keep doing good man.
YEEEEEESSSSSS This game will never die, love your videos, glad to see bf1 is happening now.
I loved your BfV videos, but I just don't love BFV try as I might. Bf1 is my fave battlefield, thanks for covering it! Hoping for future videos on it, take your time though. And yes, peacekeeper is the best despite its draw time taking a century. As a fellow medic bolt action enjoyer in bfv, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the general liu!
It's a big compliment to hear that my videos are enjoyable even if you don't play the game, and I think you'll like what I have to say about the General Liu ;P
COMEON HES BACK
Oh man I’m looking forward to you doing lots of BF1 videos. Fingers crossed
Hell yeah, been waiting for this
Prof. Mem: [makes BF1 content] Sickos: YES... HAHAHA YES...
For the record, I hate how low the C93 is on this tier list. Its draw speed and animation are both really quick, and bc it has low horizontal recoil, its hipfire just feels right. The extra bullet comes up big in CQB firefights where you switch to sidearm to finish multiple opponents. I also feel the Mle. 1903 is underrated, but to me the C93 is a hidden gem. Plus, it's the Borchardt! Nothing like winning a tight gunfight with your pistol and then telling your opponent you 'chardted on em
congrats on 5k subs man, you deserve it
Thanks man!
2:46 that transition was smooooth
You earned a like with the Obrez S tier. god bless you sir
Posted 17 minutes ago and 20 like bro fell off
So real
Surprised to see more recent tier lists about BF1, also good to see the Bodeo getting a bit of recognition as a fellow leg of lamb enjoyer. I usually play scout more aggressively with either the 1895 Trench or 1903 Experimental (or just about any other bolt action if I'm feeling it) and I prefer the Bodeo over the Mars. The high damage it offers at range close to mid range pairs well with a bolt gun, and also helps getting enemies to the health threshold required for a take down with a heavy melee weapon.
HE HAS RETURNED! Blessed be us!
I love the mark IV so much. I have so much practice with every bit about it that I am really good at landing shots
Good video, interesting way of rating
More tier lists needed for BF1 needed 👍
battlefield 1 analysis in 2024, count me in bebe
Haven't even watched the video yet and I know there'll be some hot takes... 😂 all in good fun though, I live for these vids!
You legend, Meem! I’m interested to see what your opinion is on the Perino
The peacekeeper was so far and above the best pistol in the game, that if it WASN’T such a bitch to get, people would have complained that it’s OP. The animations alone made it worth the pain in the ass to unlock. But the power… man, it actually walks the walk too.
the no.3 has amazing hip fire accuracy, and the fast deploy time and fast repeating shots make it an amazing close range weapon, not S tier but at least a B
Pistol gameplay in bf1 is beyond fantastic
I started bf1 with the sole intent of getting the peacekeeper; I was not disappointed
16:42 the game gives you the best skin for it by playing part of the campaign
Man, I've had a few chances to net a running Bodeo 1889, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Definitely a cool wheel gun
Ive taken many ottoman lives with the mle 1903 i absolutely love it
As a proud PK owner, the grind is surprisingly pretty easy if you have a weekend avaliable
Opening with the RDR2 soundtrack you immediately got a like lmfao
The a conflict dog tag required for the peacekeeper is a pain in the backside to get
Small detail, but I prefer the MLE 1903 because of its handling, it actually has the fastest swaptimes for a sidearm, along with its reasonable damage, recoil and range, its the best IMO for being a side arm, a swap when you're in trouble! :D
I always loved the Obrez. Such a great gun
Last time someone ranked stuff in BF1 they ended up having to rank doors. What’s your door rankings???
O_O when I'm in a not moving on competition and my opponent is the BF1 community. To be honest though I kinda love that Battlefield 1 is so beloved that people would rather go that deep than switch to making different content.
The Professor is back in class!
OHW HE IS BACKK
You now you can have an unique draw animation with the howdah ? It's rly cool.
I mained the C96 since im a fan of the design and ttried my hand at a pistol only loadout for the medic that pushed to take risks with both reviving other teammates, as well utilize the pistols decent hipfire accuracy, got over 615 kills with it since launch
He’s back boys!
9:33 SHE HAS A SWEET SPOT⁉️
One of the best things to do with the Kolibri is use it to detonate explosives. I’ve killed a tank with one that way.
Ah right! Good strategy
They’re all my babies. Every single one of them 🩷
i love using gasser m1870 with the mp18 trench or hellriegel, the high range and stopping power makes up for a relatively short range smg playstyle well and can finish enemies well if i get caught in a pinch
Yes BF 1! love to see it
The Auto Revolver is definitely my favorite out of all of the sidearms, but I must admit it certainly is very basic and plain like sprouts said.
Understandable
Let's go goat is back
2:03 Just a quick little heads-up to all those stealth enjoyers who play BF1; the Silenced M1911 (And to a lesser extent Enfield IIRC) actually don't show the victim where they are being shot from and in addition you don't appear on the minimap
Oh! I didn't know that! I knew it was a feature in Battlefield V, but I had thought it wasn't a feature in the series until that game.
The difference between 30 damage and 26.5 for the Mle. 1903 vs. the C93 is that BF1 uses 1.7x for the standard headshot multiplier. 30 will give a kill in two sequential headshots, 28 will give a 3 shot kill if one is a headshot, and 26.5 will only give one less bullet to kill if two are headshots. Thought you should know.
Ahhhhhhh I see I see, I didn't look into exact damage multiplier numbers too much so this is valuable.
The slide on the c96 can be locked back even when not empty when you pull the bolt back fully to the rear it will catch on the hammer regardless of whether it’s empty or not Only reason it doesn’t do it in operation is because the bolt doesn’t go back that far while cycling normally
Jail for putting the auto revolver in the b tier it is by far the best revolver in my opinion, looks gorgeous especially with the ivory skin, quick reload, better damage and fire rate than any speed loader revolver. This thing on arden forest absolutely pimps i had so much fun using this with minimal reload suffering
FINALLY BODEO LOVE, I FORGIVE YOU FOR MARK IV HATE
please do more bf1 teirlists so great
I am glad the Obrez is a tier because even if you don't kill them instantly in closer ranges you will instantly be able to kill them with melee
When I was going for a service on every weapon, the nagant revolver was by far the most frustrating weapon. Kolibri wasn't that bad because I expected it to suck and never relied on it, but the nagant was so unreliable when I needed a backup weapon
That's more or less the experience I'd had as well just trying to use it in normal gameplay.
I think the biggest thing I've learned from this video is that I need to be using MELEE WEAPONS more.
It really helps, especially if your aim is like mine -_-
For the Oberez if you shoot and melee at the same time you’ll insta kill anyone. Makes up for the inconsistent one shot

Honestly, getting the peacekeeper isn't as insane as I thought it was, just longwinded. There is like 8 parts to it and each one is fairly straight forward, there is only one part (a conflict) that can seem like a wall, still doable with a friend an excel-sheets. Also the gun is absolutely worth it and outclasses most other handguns in most cases.
HE’S BACK
The suppressed weapons do have a stat they aren't just reskins. whenever you shoot them you do not appear on the enemy minimap. so thats a cool perk
Oh nice! That is a bonus then, just but as good as the suppressed weapon no us in BFV that I’m used to.
I personally think they should have released the colt single action army without the skin for everyone to use, and the skin could be a memento of those all those crazy dudes who actually got it when it first dropped
Would be nice, but I bet all the people who unlocked it the hard way would be fuming haha
So the vr game contractors has a bf1 mod, including the kolibri and it’s fun to sneak up and mag dump someone then they turn around you get absolutely destroyed 😂
I am profoundly disappointed in the fact that this man dosint have more subs, he needs more love
Aw thanks!
You forget about THE most important thing in bf1 Historical Accuracy ( Also enjoyed your palworld and dynamic reloads videos, i hope you do more videos like that )
I plan to do many more in the future
@@professormemsclass holy shit the man him self responded
13:30 holy shit its me, i look so brainless trying to shoot at you. Good video though mate
Hey no worries man, we all have days like that. I had to cut out a lot of bad aim from my clips. Thanks for the compliment!
Would love to see BF1 rankings
Nagant is not so bad if you use it on scout. High min damage allows you reliably one tap enemy on distance after rifle shot. It's basically mars pistol with long reload time, but almost no recoil in comparison.
unrelated to the rankings BUT DISCO KID THEME SUPREMACY GANG LETS GOOOOO
AMENNNNN
the legend posted again
great list, not agreeing with all the positions, like mk6, but i guess i just really like that revolver, and 2 shot kill with very fast reload, but still, great list
Yeah I'm getting the impression that it was a controversial decision. But hey, I stand by that the Auto Revolver is basically the same but better, and even though it's not available to all classes, I like the Gasser, Bull Dog, and Mars better than the Mk VI so I don't every really feel a reason to use it. I understand why people would like it though, and I'm glad you liked the vid.
For me Mark VI always was a pick for 3 out of 4 classes due to combination of good DMG and 2-shot capability at close and fast top-break revolver reload. I've been saved countless times by speed of reloading and Auto revolver is Medic's upgrade of Mark VI so I use it for Med. In terms of pure numbers of damage and stuff maybe it's not that good but its versatility in sticky situations up close won me over other options.
That’s reasonable
It’s honestly weird that the C96 Borchardt is better than the Luger P08 and that the P08 is on par with the C96 broomhandle Mauser, because historically speaking, the C93 is basically the father of the Luger P08, the Luger was an upgrade from the C93
It really is pretty backward from a realism standpoint. If this were an IRL tier-list Luger would be close to the top.
@@professormemsclass lord help me, I swore id never be a fudd, but I’d have to say the 1911 if we are talking irl, don’t get me wrong, the Luger by all means was a bad bitch and sexy as hell, but I’m NOT fucking with German engineering so much as to call it the best. Love the videos, stay blessed, and please do a scout rifle video next.
@@RadioactiveNapalm Haha, that's why I say close to the top, because the top is exactly that.
I play Hardcore servers exclusively, C96 pisto and No. 3 revolvers are my go to
2:46 that was a cool transition from the gas mask
Thanks!
21:57 it’s so funny bc irl the mars automatic is probably the biggest failure of a sidearm in human history, it was KNOWN for literally falling apart in your hand and was otherwise super unreliable
