In every shooting game, there are different types of calibres for guns to create an incentive for players to invest in the game and play it more to unlock newer and better weapons and perform in the game a lot better. Doing this also allows the developers to balance out the game because a better weapon in a newbie’s hand is almost as good as a mediocre gun being in the hands of an experienced player.
But that does not mean that having a good gun is useless if you’re not really good at the game. What I meant by that was that a good gun will help an experienced guy a lot more than a new player. Now, in this blog, we are going to talk about Destiny Rising’s weapons. We are going to enlist them in a tier list, and at the end of this blog, you’ll know exactly where your favourite weapons from the game fall into.

How this tier-list Works:
So, before jumping into the tier list and ranking the guns, we need to evaluate how this tier list would objectively work because, without a clear scope of things, this list wouldn’t be authentic or provide any real value
- S-tier: These are the guns that are the current meta, the best in class guns; these would dominate both the PvP and the PvE experience of the game.
- A-tiers: great guns, not meta-defining but still great and reliable ones to use. Consistent with strong stats.
- B-tier: these are the guns that you could only use in a situation and not use them consistently, meaning that these would either be great at PvP or PvE, but not both at the same time.
- C-tier: these are the guns that are one of the weakest ones of the game, meaning that they could only be used when you have no other weapons available, and you shouldn’t even consider them if you have a choice.
- D-tier: These are the bottom-barrel weapons, and you should throw them away as soon as you can.’
The Tier List:
So there are a total of 96 weapons currently available in the game, and we are going to pick and place every single one of them on this list. From exotic weapons to all the way to rare ones.
| Tier | Weapons: |
| S-Tier | Graviton Lance, Bad Juju, Polaris Lance, Jade Rabbit, Crimson, The Old Prefect, Riskrunner, The Huckleberry, Partridge Sky, Octant Riot Disperser, Lord of Wolves, The Chaperone, Jötunn, Merciless, Borealis |
| A-Tier | Wrongful Ingress, Wolfpack, DEL5 Kulfi, P31 Armadillo, Type 7 Moonshot EMR, Cognitum Carbine, P22 Tamarin, DEL3 Lassi, P267 Right Whale, K18 Coelops, Autoshear, AOCS R1 Revolver, P6 Somniosus, Parole, Eternal Retribution, IST1 Parantha, Magoichi, IST3 Zico’Oclac, Izanagi’s Burden, Truth, SatiyaalikSni Smart Bomb, HON1 Khanom Khrok, Nobunaga, Makeshift Ending, Regolith Piton |
| B-Tier | Sweet Business, Brotherhood’s Banner, Present Fleet, Mutineer’s Torch, The Monolith, Gunpowder Duster, K205 Lemming, The Accelerator, Overseer, A19 Argali |
| C-Tier | Reverse Equilibrium, Amatoxin, Sandan-54 Fieldhand, Nightfall Banner, Prompt Satellite Dispenser, 6G76 Self-Rescue, Always Going Home, Lotus, Dancing Bees, Type 5 Stratoshot SRM |
| D-Tier | Type 301-1 SRI |
Now this list is complete. I have listed the best guns in S-tier because they will allow you to play against AI and annihilate them, or play against real humans and test your skills. The s-tier I have listed is all about Reliability and consistency.
The A-tier, however, is powerful, but since the guns are not as powerful as the A-tier ones, this is a step down, but still, these are also consistent and cater to some niche uses.
The B-tier is where you would need your aim and skills to shine because the weapons themselves are not that much; these are serviceable. They also have limited synergy as compared to A and S-tier weapons.
C-tier is very situational. These guns have weak damage output, as well as not that good, which means you shouldn’t use them by choice.
D-tier is the bottom of the barrel, so don’t use it, and since there’s only one gun there, it shouldn’t be hard to avoid it by that much.
Conclusion:
This is it for this blog, this tier list is objective, and I have justified their picks and there later on why and what they do good in the game as well. However, since the game will evolve, there are definitely going to be changes in the new seasons of the game. So this list might get outdated by then, but as of now, this is the one you should benchmark.
