ARC Raiders Weapons Tier List

You might wanna ask yourself. What does this ARC Raiders tier list really mean? It basically works like a ranked cheat sheet for stuff like characters and weapons grouping them into levels or simply tiers. This ARC Raiders weapons tier list covers from absolute gods at the top to total trash at the bottom. Think S-tier as the meta kings who are super powerful and win fights easy. A-tier looks solid picks down to D or maybe F for why even bother. I was just kidding, LOL. We’re gonna have a five-part ARC Raiders weapons tier list here, all the way down to D-tier.

ARC Raiders Weapons S-Tier

How can we say if the gun you got is S-tier level? Well, that’s really not that hard. It should have a powerful penetration level. It comes handy especially when you fight ARC machines.

You should be able to stealth kill enemies with it without any problem. This is really important. Because an ARC Raiders legendary weapon like Jupiter is far more powerful than Ferro, but you can’t modify it which means no suppressor. And in an online game like this one where you can’t do stealth things, you’re pretty much done for. Handling plays a major role here too.

ARC Raiders Weapons B-Tier

When it comes to B-tier ARC Raiders guns, what it means is that they are your all-rounders at the end of the day.

ARC Raiders Weapons C-Tier

As we get past these ARC Raiders tiers, guns become pretty much situational. You wouldn’t want to run around with them all the time because they’re only suitable for some special occasions.
