Key takeaways

- ✓A tier
- ✓B tier
- ✓C tier
S tier
Assault Rifle, Rocket Launcher and Meteor Bow are the endgame damage floor. All three trivialize alpha bosses when paired with a Grizzbolt or Anubis mount.
A tier
Pump-Action Shotgun and Old Musket punch above their crafting cost, especially in close-range dungeon rushes.
B tier
Handgun, Crossbow and Fire Bow — reliable early-mid game but fall off once bosses hit 5,000 HP.
C tier
Old Bow and Meat Cleaver: keep exactly one for silent kills and food gathering.
