How we rank
CalculatedRanged score = burst DPS at base stats, while ammo lasts.
- Ranged: damage of one shot, counting every projectile it fires, divided by the seconds between shots.
- Bows and crossbows are ranked in separate families because they reload and charge differently.
- Tier = the weapon's score as a share of the best in the same class: S at 90% or more, A at 80%, B at 70%, C at 60%, D below.
Limits: Charged shots, ammo recharge, piercing, enchantments and gear effects are not in the score, so sustained damage over a long fight can differ.
22 bows and crossbows are ranked; Greatbow is the highest at 180 DPS. 4 weapons reach S tier: Greatbow, Humbler Heartstring, Heavy Crossbow, The Close Ranger. Best per class: Bow: Greatbow, Crossbow: Heavy Crossbow. Scores use base stats: enchantments, gear effects and item level shift every weapon, so treat tiers as a starting point.
