Splitgate 2 Best Weapons & Tier List — *Image Credits: 1047 Games, Splitgate 2*

Some weapons in Splitgate 2 are insane, and some others will make you wonder if your gun's firing tiny lil marshmallows. This guide breaks them all down the best guns to the worst in a simple tier list.

S Tier – ABSOLUTELY GODLIKE

These guns take over matches fast.

Shotgun – Still disgustingly good in close quarters. One-click delete button.
Battle Rifle – It’s too consistent and too deadly at mid-range not to be here.
SMG – Quick, accurate, and underused. Feels broken in smaller maps.

A Tier – Powerful but Counterable

Solid weapons with great damage, but not unstoppable.

Sniper – Obviously very strong, but slightly more punishing if you miss.
Railgun – Same story. High reward, but risky if your timing's off.
Carbine – Easy to use, solid range, just lacks wow factor.
Rocket Launcher – Big booms, but slow reload and easy to dodge with portals.
BFB – One-shot hammer of doom, but predictable if the enemy has space.

B Tier – Good, But Map or Mode Dependent

Situationally strong, but inconsistent overall.

Plasma Rifle – Works in some modes, mostly gets outgunned in open space.
Pistol – Not great, but surprisingly reliable in clean-up kills.

C Tier – Niche or Just Weak

These are better than nothing... barely.

Oddball – You're holding it to score, not to fight. Still, it can bonk.
Fists / Melee – Fun to meme with, but you'll probably get shot in the face trying.

D Tier – Don’t Use These Much

Best to avoid these when you can.

Sniper – No, not a typo seeing this twice. Put Sniper down here too in case you’re the guy who misses every shot.

F Tier – Just Run

This tier isn’t about fighting.

Flag – You carry it, you score, you don’t win 1v1s. Think rugby, not Halo.

Final Blurb

Splitgate 2’s meta is shifting fast, but the core rule holds: grab the best weapon before your enemy does. S-tier guns win fights instantly, but even a low-tier pick can shine with the right setup and portal play.

Just maybe don’t try to 1v3 with your fists... unless you’re trying to be on a highlight reel.
