Weapon tier list · 30 weapons
Meta
Every rifle, SMG, pistol and shotgun, ranked against the others in its class by DPS. Craft tier (T1 to T4) is shown so you can see what you can build.
How the tiers work
Weapons are ordered by DPS: damage per shot × pellets, divided by the time between shots, on the body and before falloff. The top 15% or so of each class are S, the next quarter A, the next third B, and the rest C. Weapons with the same DPS share a tier, and a tier in one class says nothing about another.
DPS does not account for magazine size, reload time, range or weak spots, and damage figures haven't been verified in live play. Treat this as a starting point. Weapons marked Big hitsdeal at least twice their class's typical damage per shot, so their DPS understates them.
