WARDOGS Weapon Tier List
Top of each class: TCX-SPR, Super-45, PKM, BMR-308, AMR 50, MP43, Deagle, RPG-7. 35 WARDOGS weapons ranked S to C inside their class from MetaBot's Firing Range measurements: chest DPS for automatics, damage per hit for everything else.
Tier grid
MeasuredTiers are relative to the best measured weapon in each class, so an S-tier pistol is the top of the pistols, not a rival to an S-tier sniper rifle.

Not ranked yet
3 weapons are not ranked yet: either their damage has no clean Firing Range reading, or they are in a DPS-ranked class but their fire rate is not measured. They stay outside the tiers instead of getting a guessed score and are added as soon as they are measured.
How the tiers are calculated
MeasuredEvery number comes from MetaBot's own tests in the WARDOGS Firing Range: single shots at an unarmored mannequin from about 20 m with FMJ ammunition, reading the damage popup for each hit. Fire rate is timed from the first round until the magazine counter empties and is accurate to about ±5%.
- Each class is scored on one metric so every weapon in it is compared on the same scale: chest DPS (chest damage per hit × rounds per minute ÷ 60) when most of its measured weapons have a measured fire rate, as with assault rifles and SMGs.
- Otherwise the class is scored by chest damage per hit, as with marksman rifles, sniper rifles and pistols.
- Each score is divided by the best score in the same class: 95% or more is S, 80% or more is A, 60% or more is B, anything lower is C.
- A weapon without its class's metric (no clean damage reading, or no measured fire rate in a DPS-scored class) is not ranked, and bows are left out entirely.
What it does not cover: armor (the Firing Range has no armored targets), damage falloff at range, recoil, spread, handling, reload speed and attachments. Tiers compare weapons inside one class only, so an S-tier pistol is not stronger than an A-tier rifle; read the score next to the letter.
Tiers are recalculated automatically whenever new measurements are added. How we collect data →
This WARDOGS tier list ranks 35 of the 38 weapons in the game, spread over 8 classes, using only damage and fire rate measured in the Firing Range. 10 weapons reach S tier: Super-45, PKM, TCX-SPR, AMR 50, RPG-7, MP43, M500, Deagle, BMR-308, M14. The Super-45 has the highest chest DPS of any measured gun at 657, while the AMR 50 hits hardest per shot with 207.9 chest damage. Class leaders right now: Assault Rifles: TCX-SPR, SMGs: Super-45, LMGs: PKM, Marksman Rifles: BMR-308, Sniper Rifles: AMR 50, Shotguns: MP43, Pistols: Deagle, Launchers: RPG-7. 3 weapons, including Compound Bow, 9K333 Verba, SKS, are not ranked yet because they have no clean damage reading. Because tiers are relative inside each class and ignore armor, range and recoil, use them together with the damage calculator and the side-by-side weapon comparison.
