On the upcoming pages, we sort the weapons in a tier list.
What the rankings mean:
- S-Tier: The absolute best weapons in the game, regardless of the weapon category.
- A-Tier: These weapons are generally strong and belong to the best of their category. Also, weapons with particularly good scaling of individual attributes often end up in A-Tier.
- B-Tier: These weapons are good in their category and niche, but they are replaceable or there are better weapons overall.
- C-Tier: These weapons should only be used if you specifically like them.
- D-Tier: You should not use these weapons because they are either generally bad or currently do not function as intended.
- No Rating: There is currently too little known about these weapons or the reports are too divided to rate them.
To find the location of each weapon, use the interactive map. To make this easier, we will list the English name of the weapon additionally in brackets, if applicable. If only the English name is currently known, only that will be listed.
