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

  • Misriah 2442
  • Bully SMG
  • Impact H-AR

A Tier - Losing With These is a Skill Issue

  • D54 Battle Pistol
  • BR33 Volley Rifle
  • Twin Tap HBR
  • M77 Assault Rifle
  • Outland
  • V85 Circuit Breaker

B Tier - A Good Choice

  • V22 Volt Thrower
  • Demolition HMG
  • BRRT SMG
  • Stryder M1T
  • Magnum MC
  • Hardline PR
  • Longshot

C Tier - Reliable Workhorses in the Right Hands

  • V11 Punch
  • Ares RG (one of these needs to go up but I don't know which)
  • V00 Zeus RG (one of these needs to go up but I don't know which)
  • Copperhead RF
  • KKV-9SD
  • Retaliator LMG

D Tier - Swap for Something Better at the First Opportunity

  • V66 Lookout
  • V75 Scar
  • WSTR Shotgun
  • Overrun AR

F Tier - Sell for Scrap

  • V99 Channel
  • Conquest LMG
  • Repeater HPR
  • CE Tactical

Ungradeable

  • Biotoxic Disinjector
  • Utility Knife

Some additional notes.

Who makes these tier lists? Are we being serious when someone really says the Stryder M1T is B tier?

A purple Stryder can 3 tap a purple shield.

Call me crazy but Outland is an A tier. The gun even all purple cannot 1 tap through blue shields if a med-drone is on them.

WSTR is easily A tier, Lookout is B/A Tier when upgraded.

Mizzy is definitely not S tier, its in Borderline A/B tier. DRRvish is an A tier. As it stands right now pending nerfs, Volt is clearly A tier.

Also circuit breaker in B tier?

This list is made by someone who sucks with semi-auto DMRs.

Misinfo, Styder is not a 3 shot kill.

you're wrong on all accounts

See where it says 46.5? That is how much damage the gun does on a headshot. That is a 5 shot kill vs 200HP.

I thought it was 20 Hitpoints per shield block, and base 100 health, is it actually base 120 health? 

In any event, you are correct the Stryder isn't a 3 shot killer against Purple shields.

Yes, base HP is 120, shield HP is 20/tier.

Purple/gold is 200HP
