The Renegade is a faster, extra versatile long-range rifle, equally succesful as those above, albeit a bit more durable to get (wants some upgrades and quests, however is in the end definitely worth the effort).
Each the Anvil and the Venator are pistols, albeit made of various stuff, the previous a heavy-ammo-loaded hand cannon, and the latter a extra versatile medium ammo pistol.

A tier
- Kettle
- Torrente
- Osprey
- Jupiter
- Apreggio
- Equalizer
- Hullcracker
The A-tier weapons are people who we discovered succesful and efficient at pummeling ARCs and different gamers, however they fell barely behind those within the tier above. That is normally because of worse ammo or shortage, which doesn’t essentially imply they’re dangerous weapons.
The Kettle is a chief instance of this: it’s silent, nimble, and mainly free, however its reliance on gentle ammo and horrible ARC armor penetration locations it a tier under. It’s a gun that you need to solely take in case you’re in a squad, with every participant having totally different weapons, ideally with stronger ammo.
Right here we’ve additionally positioned the Torrente LMG, a succesful gun that you just received’t normally encounter within the recreation, however one which is likely to be good to place in one in every of your squadmates’ fingers, particularly in opposition to more durable ARCs like Queens. The identical goes for the Equalizer and Hullcracker weapons, that are two super-powerful and uncommon weapons which can be greatest fitted to raids in opposition to big ARCs, and never PVP.

Apreggio‘s burst hearth mode makes it barely extra unreliable than full-auto counterparts, however it stays a good selection for gamers preferring such a playstyle.
B tier
These two assault rifles do pack a punch, however weigh twice as a lot as any AR from the S or A tiers, are tremendous exhausting to acquire, and may be fairly detrimental to take into more difficult maps like The Blue Gate.
General, each Tempest and Bettina are succesful and helpful weapons, however in comparison with some others on this listing, they’re simply not definitely worth the hassle.
C tier
The sport’s sole two shotguns, the Il Toro and Vulcano are good weapons, particularly in conditions that stand up shut and private. They will do good chunks of injury to each ARCs and different gamers, however being gradual to fireside and short-ranged, they pale compared to most weapons on this listing. What they will do nicely is be assist weapons as an alternative of, say, a sidearm, although the burden impression will considerably gradual you down and depart you weak to lightly-treading gamers.
ARCs also can extra simply be destroyed by medium- and heavy-ammo-loaded weapons from the S or A tiers and at a very good vary, whereas the shotguns require you to strategy lethal enemies, thus posing an incredible danger to your self.
D tier
Gentle-ammo weapons may be helpful in ARC Raiders (simply take a look at the Kettle, for instance) however these two weapons merely ain’t it. They will barely do any injury to ARCs, require an unimaginable quantity of ammunition to be any degree of helpful (thus hogging valuable stock area) and are general worse in nearly each regard than different weapons on this listing.
They’re low-cost and simply obtained, that a lot is true, however that seems to be the one upside to those two weapons, which you need to positively keep away from and as an alternative exchange with one thing from the sections above.
