Witcher 3: Weapons Tier List [All Compared 2023]

Learn all there is to know about the all weapons, their stats, viability, and effectiveness in The Witcher 3 weapons tier list.

As the damage of each weapon is randomly generated based on Geralt’s level, I will rank them based on the potency of their special effects in The Witcher 3 weapons tier list. These special effects include benefits to Signs and standard attacks.

Key Takeaways
  • The Witcher 3 weapons tier list ranks all weapons based on the viability of their special effects.
  • As the damage of each weapon is randomly generated, it will not be taken into consideration.
  • S Tier consists of the weapons that offer the strongest special effects, mainly boosting all Signs
  • This tier includes Aerondight, which is one of, if not the best Silver Sword in The Witcher 3.
  • A Tier has incredibly powerful special effects, but they are a little bit weaker than the ones in S Tier.
  • and C Tier weapons are decently viable, they can get the job done but will not make Geralt overpowered.
  • Lastly, D Tier weapons are completely useless and should be avoided.
Important: Keep in mind, that all weapons except D Tier are viable and can be used to play through the game.

Rankings Based On Experience And Knowledge

The Witcher 3 weapons tier list was written by eXputer’s writer Hassan Mujtaba, who has played The Witcher 3 religiously for 4 years. He has also completed the game on the hardest difficulty, Death March.

Death March’s Completion Trophy

Patch 4.04

The Witcher 3 weapons tier list is completely valid for Patch 4.04. I will update this tier list if CD Projekt RED introduces any new changes to weapons in their upcoming updates.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the greatest games ever made. It has set the standard for RPGs in the gaming industry. CD Projekt RED released a next-gen version of The Witcher 3, which ended up being one of the highest-rated games of 2023, with a 97 on Metacritic.

And there you have it; with The Witcher 3 weapons tier list, players will be able to understand the game at a deeper level.

Take a look at the best Runeswords in The Witcher 3. Also, here is the best Gwent deck. Lastly, here are the best mods in The Witcher 3.
