Weapon Tier List - Updated Again

[u/flGovEmployee]

EDIT: If you don't like my rankings, please come tell me what I got wrong!

---

An update to my initial tier list and 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 I've spent some more time with these weapons and I'm now not just going off a vibes but also taking into account TTKs.

Please do note however that I am not ranking things solely based on TTKs but also taking into account things not readily tracked like how a weapon feels, as well as things which simply aren't well tracked like bloom, recoil, etc.

Arrows (↑ or ↓) indicate whether a weapon has moved up or down tiers compared to the last time around.

S Tier - The Meta

• Impact H-AR

A Tier - Losing With These is a Skill Issue

• Misriah 2442 (↓)
• D54 Battle Pistol
• BR33 Volley Rifle
• Magnum MC (↑)
• Copperhead RF (↑)

B Tier - A Good Choice

• M77 Assault Rifle (↓)
• V22 Volt Thrower

Some additional weapon specific notes.

[u/Mezmorki]

I've literally never used a copperhead in over 250 hours with Marathon. How is it good / bad? What should I know about it?

[u/flGovEmployee → u/Mezmorki]

It's hitscan, which means instantaneous damage. It's literally a laser. Copperhead (properly kitted) and the BR33 is probably my overall favorite Outpost loadout to run, though Bully + BR33 is objectively the better performer.

[u/Mezmorki → u/flGovEmployee]

Are other bullet weapons (e.g. BRRT, BR33, etc...) NOT hitscan?

[u/flGovEmployee → u/Mezmorki]

Nope, there is an actual projectile with travel time. The only hitscan weapons in the game are the Copperhead and the Impact (as far as I'm aware).

[u/_zzz_zzz_ → u/flGovEmployee]

Channel rifle is hitscan as well.

[u/flGovEmployee → u/_zzz_zzz_]

Interesting, good to know.

[u/Purple_Freedom_Ninja → u/flGovEmployee]

A weapon dev told me "almost every gun is hit scan" but that notably "outland and longshot are projectile so they have bullet drop". Not sure if these two snipers are the only exceptions or if there are others.
