How We Rank Weapons
We combine current weapon mechanics, patch changes, build flexibility, late-run scaling and observed use in the current-version Top 100 leaderboard sample. Leaderboard usage is supporting evidence, not an automatic tier: starting weapons, character popularity and small character samples can inflate or suppress a weapon's frequency.
All 30 Weapons: Tier, Unlock and Best Build Fit
Use the filters to compare weapons. The Current Top 100 column refreshes from the site's automated leaderboard snapshot; the editorial tier remains version-reviewed rather than being mechanically rewritten by popularity.
