Our Tier Ranking
Quick reference for what to prioritize when you drop. We rank weapon builds from best to last resort—check Archetypes for full build details and upgrades.
6 tiers · 44 builds
Reliable in most situations; strong with the right archetype and attachments.
Good situational options; can compete with proper build and playstyle.
Viable picks for specific roles; shotguns and pistols shine in close quarters.
Niche use; better as secondary or for very specific engagements.
Off-meta or barebones builds; pick only when nothing better is available.
Tier Build Notes
- Never underestimate benching: a top weapon build with the wrong attachments can underperform.
- Adapt your secondary based on map and objective: shotguns and SMGs are top when fights are tight.
- Always prioritize plates and utility; weapons win fights, but survivability wins games.
