Warframe Weapon Tier List – Best and Worst Weapons

In our Tier List, we are going to rank all the weapons from best to worst to help you choose the right ones for combat.

There are 400+ weapons available in Warframe. Hence, it can become somewhat confusing to decide which one is better and which one isn’t. To help you, we will write down a Warframe weapon tier list to help you choose the right weapons. We also have an in-depth guide on Best Warframe Secondary Weapons, so check them out as well.

Key Takeaways
  • The tier list is divided into Primary, Secondary, and Melee.
  • Each category is further divided into three tiers: S, A, and B.
  • S-tier weapons are the best in the game, followed by A-tier weapons and B-tier weapons.
  • Some of the best weapons in the game include:
    • Primary: Kuva Zarr, Tenet Arca Plasmor, Phenmor, Cedo
    • Secondary: Kuva Nukor, Epitaph, Tenet Cycron, Pyrana Prime
    • Melee: Lesion, Nami Skyla Prime, Paracesis, Tatsu Prime
  • It is important to note that the tier list is based on the author’s opinion and is not definitive. There are many other great weapons in Warframe, and the best weapon for you will depend on your playstyle and build.

Just like how we did it in our Soul Calibur 6 tier list, we are going to divide our tier list into five different tiers. The strongest weapons will be placed in the first tier, while the weaker ones will be placed in the remaining ones. Each tier is going to feature Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons. Also, keep in mind that the following tier list is based on our personal choice and you might find the placement of some weapons odd. So without any further due, let’s dive into the ultimate Warframe weapon tier list. 

S-Tier Weapons

Warframe Weapon Tier List
S-Tier Weapons

S-Tier weapons are the strongest weapons available in Warframe. These weapons offer stats that are better than every other weapon available in the game. If any of these weapons are in your hand, then no one will be able to stop you from conquering the battlefield.

Finally, we have the F-Tier weapons. They are the weakest weapons in the entire game and there’s a reason why they’re mentioned in the lowest tier of our Warframe tier list. Their stats are poor, they aren’t easy to use, and they will not help you instantly take down multiple enemies. In short, you should avoid using these weapons at any cost.
