This ranking reflects my own experience in 1v1 and 5v5 duels and isn't an official Nosniy Games ranking — the meta shifts with every Rivals update, and plenty of "lower tier" weapons are still perfectly viable in the right hands or on the right map.

How I ranked these

Primary weapons are judged on damage output, range flexibility, and how forgiving they are in a 1-on-1. Secondaries are ranked on how well they cover your primary's weaknesses when you're forced to swap mid-fight. Melee weapons are scored on both combat value and mobility — some, like the Katana and Scythe, do real work beyond just looking good. Utility items are ranked on how much they swing a round: healing, area denial, and mobility all count.
