Assault Rifle (B TIER)

Good damage at close range, very forgiving with consistent damage output, very quick time to kill, overall solid choice.

Sidekick (C TIER)

Decent gun, high rate of fire for an accurate gun but very low ammo per mag. Good for to finish weakened enemies or harass snipers, not good to use on its own. Loses in every respect to the battle rifle.

Battle Rifle (A TIER)

Absolutely solid gun. Dominates the midrange, also good in close or long in a pinch. BTFO's snipers in gunfights due to much higher rate of fire, insane damage output if you hit heads, probably the best common gun in the game.

Shotgun (F TIER)

Terrible gun. Its only use is very very close range, just slightly further than just punching someone, and it doesn't even kill in one shot. Loses almost every battle against an Assault Rifle and with less versatility. Leave this on the wall.

Hydra (F TIER)

Another really bad one. Rockets do next to no damage, but it does have lock-on for midrange. Longer time to kill than almost any other weapon in the midrange but with lock-on it might save players who cannot aim. Probably only good for enemy planes, but even then there's better options.

Rocket Launcher (A++ SUPER TIER)

The classic rocket launcher. Time to kill: instant. Very large explosion radius. Easy to use. Can even shoot four people at once. Destroys vehicles instantly. There is nothing this weapon cannot do. Always pick this up.

Sniper Rifle (A TIER)

The huge glare lets people know you're trying to snipe them, and it's impossible to scope when someone is harassing you with a BR or pistol making it extremely hard to land a shot. The preferred way to use this is noscope instagibbing people at close or midrange. In such cases, provided you can aim, it's an instant kill with no chance to respond for your enemy.

Commando (F TIER)

The commando is a worse Assault Rifle or a worse Battle Rifle, depending on how you want to view it. Being very mediocre in close range and also very mediocre in medium range with its high recoil, it will not do you better than what you spawn with. Never pick up.

Cindershot (F TIER)

Projectiles bounce instead of exploding on impact meaning you need direct hits with a very slow projectile. Inconsistent as hell. Easily the worst "power" weapon. Loses nearly every time to any other weapon.

Sentinel Beam (F TIER)

Constant beam with very low damage, will never beat a weapon that's actually good. Do not pick this up.

Shock Rifle (F TIER)

Zero damage on hit, very slow fire rate. Only possible use is disabling planes. Not a weapon you want to use versus spartans at all.

Skewer (F TIER)

Ever wondered what the rocket launcher would be like if it sucked? Skewer answers this question. Only one bullet before a very lengthy reload, no explosion at all, slow projectile. Only use is against enemy tanks.

Ravager (F-- SQUIRT GUN TIER)

Zero damage, zero range, slow projectile, this thing is utterly useless.

Stalker (F TIER)

Bad battlerifle.

Disruptor (B TIER)

Very good harassment gun against vehicles and in medium range. Hitting an enemy with this a few times before they retreat into cover keeps their shields down for a long while. Hitting a vehicle a few times will stun it. Good sidearm.

Mangler (F TIER)

Low ammo, slow projectile, low firerate. Good damage, but still inferior to the normal pistol in every way.

Gravity Hammer (F TIER)

Bad energy sword. No cool leap forward, slower to use, nearly no range. Kinda funny to smack a tank with but very bad anywhere else.

Energy Sword (A TIER)

The good melee weapon. It dashes forward when you hit someone and instakills, pretty quick to use. Kinda situational for tight maps, but once there it's really good. Use with dash, grapple or even invis for a lot of kills.

Plasma Pistol (F TIER)

Absolutely pathetic damage, charge shot takes a very long time and shoots an incredibly slow projectile with laughable tracking. If you hit, his shields are down, then you still have to switch to a weapon that is actually good to kill him. Use the good weapon from the start and his shields would already be down. Bad.

Needler (F TIER)

Doesn't do damage unless you fully needle someone, at which point he dies. If he runs around a corner he instantly de-needles, taking no damage. Needling also requires a lock-on because the spread is insane, lock-ons have a minimum range so if he gets too far away it also deals no damage. Do not pick this up.

Pulse Carbine (F TIER)

Extremely bad BR. No damage output, extremely slow projectile that will never hit its target, overall one of the worst guns in the game.

THANKS FOR READING

I hope with this information you can finally get to level 100 on your battlepass and get the cool flaming skull. I already have it and it's really cool (no I did not buy any levels I grinded this legit). Please like and subscribe if you disagree with anything on this list. Also leave a comment letting me know if I scored any weapons too high, I will gladly lower my scores. Keep in mind that I am in a competitive Halo team and I won every tournament so far so you cannot question my opinions. Thanks and have fun.

Wow this tier list is awful. Like Outlaw said, it is clear that you lack complete understanding on how the weapons work and how they are best used and make petty reasons why their F tier. Seeing as how you have 64 hours into the game, and yet rank 85% of the weapons as F tier for dumb reasons, I bet you only played Tactical Slayer and nothing else. Ranking the other weapons as bad because they don't instantly kill or are "Inferior" to other weapons.

to put the cindershot in F tier shows your lack of understanding of the weapon

CelestialLuna 26 Jan, 2022 @ 2:19pm

trash tier list

Wizard Skeleton [author] 28 Nov, 2021 @ 12:41am

@esralierdo24 Nah, every weapon is F tier except the rocket launcher, sniper and energy sword, I might update my list and lower the assault rifle and battle rifle

Well ACTUALLY:
The Cindershot is maybe C Tier, since when aiming, you can make the projectile go down to hit the ennemy, 2 shots to kills. Hard to learn, but not garbage.
Shotgun: Might class it D Tier, since you can engage at a longer range than the older shotgun, but it's not the best
Commando: D Tier, only B tier if you can land every shots and can also 1 tap to the head when shield poped.
Shock Rifle: C Tier, Learn to aim and you can chain dmg, so that whole team camping can go down fast if you hit all 3 shots in 1 click
Skewer: D Tier, it's speed is the best thing about it, capable of one shotting SPARTAN anywhere, But the reload is long.
Mangler: B Tier, can 4 shot a SPARTAN, but it's the rate of fire and the recoil that makes it hard to use.
Hammer: D Tier, deadly in corridors
Needler: C Because if you hit 12 shots, you get a kill
Pulse Carbine: B Tier, Learn to lean the shots to hit the ennemy
