Strategy

When starting off, kill someone right away so you can climb the leader board to first place and win the game! If on the leader board, hunt down people who are on it too. You may not be able to see their names but you can tell what place they are by noticing the gun they have. For example; if you see someone with a SCAR and you have an AR (Burst), hunt down the SCAR to stop it from going above you. Or you can hunt down a higher ranked weapon to interrupt their chances of winning.

When 1st place, make sure 2nd place is at least 10 kills behind you. That way, you don't have to rush to 46 kills with struggle and worries you will fall to your unwanted fate.

The point where players get slow firing weapons is when the game starts to get very difficult, as there are plenty of people below you who are using SCARs, SMGs and other rapid firing guns. Your best hope is AFK players or people who will shoot but not move around much. If pretty much everyone is constantly doing many actions, it will be hard, try to steal kills from 1v1s that don't involve you.

Be very careful when using the Crossbow, if people notice you with it, that will reveal you at 44 or 45 kills. People tend to target Crossbows and attack them constantly, as they will do anything to stop you from winning. The low ROF of the Crossbow will make you vulnerable to people who won't kill each other and kill you.

You can also hide your weapon to make sure no one knows your ranking.

Glitches/Bugs

At one point, when a player failed to claim first place in this game, the fate message will say, "(Player Name), your team perished in battle" which is normally said to a player in 50v50 if their team is destroyed.

Trivia

• When it first came out, the Burst Pistol, Tommy Gun, Assault Shotgun and P90 were not included in the gamemode. The reasoning for this is that the Tommy Gun, Assault Shotgun and P90 didn't exist in the game yet. The Burst Pistol's absence, however, doesn't seem to have a clear reason.
  • For an unknown reason, the Hunting Rifle was then removed on the second time Weapons Race came out. This is probably to make room for the Tommy Gun, Assault Shotgun, P90 and Burst Pistol.
• It is the only mode that has a Leaderboard (the International Leaderboard ranking all the players in the world does not count, as it is not seen in-game).
• The map is not the same like in other game modes, and is the first mode to have a different map and weapons that are not normally seen in other modes.
  • The second is Crystal Clash.
• Weapons Race previously had 40 kills needed to win, however, now it has 46 kills needed on its second visit to the game. This was due to its second existence coming after the addition of the Assault Shotgun, Tommy Gun and the P90. And an unknown reason for the Burst Pistol to somehow get included in the mode. It's kills needed will probably extend as more guns come out.
• Despite it's name, the mode is only filled with entirely guns and non-firearm weapons such as Grenades were not included.
• Weapons Race reveals that there are 22 guns in the game currently (23 if you count the Hunting Rifle, 24 if you count the Crossbow and 28 if you count the guns used in Crystal Clash).
• This is truly the only time Revolvers and Tommies are seen higher than epic.
