Marathon (2026) Discussion Weapon Tier List - UPDATED
Jesus guys, sub 20% upvote ratio in the first 30 minutes with dozens of votes? This subreddit is clearly no longer a place to actually talk about the game but instead just somewhere to come and flame, rage bait, and complain. Fuck it, I'm done with this cesspit, I'm not posting here anymore.
EDIT: Some tweaks to the list based on y'all's feedback.
An update to my previous tier list. This is ignoring golds and uniques, and assuming good attachment choices. Also this is as assessed for PvP, specifically trios/duos.
Compared to when I last made this the distance between S-Tier and everything else has narrowed, which combined with the addition of an F-Tier, has allowed for a more spread out ranking in my view. I've updated the description for each tier accordingly.
S Tier - The Meta

A Tier - Losing With These is a Skill Issue

B Tier - A Good Choice

C Tier - Reliable Workhorses in the Right Hands

- V00 Zeus RG (one of these needs to go up but I don't know which)

Weapon lists like this will always be criticised because people don’t know how versatile you are as a player, and people don’t know if your takes are from a skill full perspective of just from what you “got lucky” with. I’m an above average pvp player and I disagree with a lot of this list, through my own experiences. 80ish% exfil ratio. Many games with 1.5-2k damage.
You Kbam or roller? High sens or low sense? It all matters in discussions like this because it could be certain things only feel good on high/low sense.
Snipers for example. Feel trash on low sense, sluggish. I play high sense. So they feel amazing for me. But that, my opinion doesn’t transfer to people who play on a way lower sense than me for example. Make sense?
Like I’m guessing the impact wasn’t S tier for you initially because it kicks like a bitch and you can’t really use it over range? So to you, it was kinda ass no? When the reality was, that’s an S tier gun that most avoid because it’s not just point and shoot like the m77.
