Where do your favorite weapons lie in the power rankings?
To say that there are a lot of weapons in Warframe is an understatement. It might even be one of the deterrents for new players. There’s so much to choose from; it’s hard to even fathom where to begin. But of course, like all other games in the looter shooter and RPG categories, there is a hierarchy of weapon power. Here is the most updated weapon tier list for Warframe, broken down into each of the main weapon classes.
Warframe Weapon Tier List
As said before, these tier lists are broken down by category. The categories are Primary, Secondary, and Melee. Just because a weapon you like isn’t listed too high does not mean you should avoid it. Warframe is an evolving game, with the balance of the game going under constant changes If anything, Digital Extremes can take notes of what is underperforming to bring other weapons up to snuff.
Primary Weapons Tier List in Warframe
The following are all the Primary weapons ranked in a tier list. This list is based on the Echoes of the Zariman update (Update 31).
Secondary Weapons Tier List
The following list is for all the secondaries in the game, including the Incarnon weapons that came out with the Echoes of the Zariman update.
Melee Weapons Tier List
Melee weapons are typically the go-to weapon choice for people playing the game as they can scale extremely well into the late-game. Their rankings in this tier list are going to be a lot more noticeable as you climb up and down the tiers.
A few things to note about this Warframe weapon tier list are that Zaws and Kitguns are not in this tier list. They can vary depending on which parts you decide to put on them. Kitguns are considered to usually be in the top tier area because of their ability to use their respective Arcanes on top of the standard gun ones like Deadhead, Merciless, and the others. Zaws are also in the same boat, except melee weapons outside of that class do not utilize Arcanes.
Also, the weapons listed in lower tiers tend to have stronger Riven dispositions. This means that a Riven Mod with critical chance and damage will have a higher value compared to those of the higher-tiered weapons. They may not necessarily bring the weaker weapons up to snuff with the high-tiers, but they can bring out a bit more potential.
Warframe is free to play now on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Cross-play and cross-progression should be coming soon, with no exact date yet.
