So you’ve just started playing Undawn and aren’t sure which weapons are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Undawn tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the weapons from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst. That way, you can focus on getting those from the S and A tiers to ensure that you perform well, skipping the B-D tiers. We’ll also include a description of the tiers so you know what they actually mean.

Undawn is a survival MMORPG by the makers of PUBG Mobile. You explore a post-apocalyptic world, alone or with friends, as you strive to create a new life for humanity’s survivors. Build a base, battle back the undead, and loot decent equipment.

You can learn more about it on the game’s official website. We also recommend checking out our Reaper 2 tier list, Wisteria 2 breathing tier list, and our A One Piece Game fruit tier list.

Undawn Tier List

Before we move onto the tier list proper, here’s a description of how our tiering system works so that you can make sense of it.

What Do Our Tiers Mean?

Here’s a brief explanation of each of our tiers:

  • S Tier: Weapons in this tier are the absolute best that the game has to offer. You should prioritise unlocking these.
  • A Tier: These weapons are still great in their own right, but they just lack a little something when you compare them to an S tier. Use them when you need to, but drop them when you can.
  • B Tier: These weapons are pretty good, and are solid, if unremarkable. Definitely swap them out for A tiers and S tiers, but don’t be ashamed to use them if you need to.
  • C Tier: This is when we get into ‘bad weapon’ territory. C tiers are, much like D tiers, some of the worst weapons in the game, but they often have niche uses.
  • D Tier: Weapons in this tier are simply never worth using. They suffer from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.

Disclaimer: Undawn has just launched so we’re still working on this tier list. Check back frequently for updates!

S Tier

God tier weapons.

  • AK-47
  • M134
  • R700

A Tier

Solid quirks that are great at what they do.

  • AK-15
  • HK416
  • M249
  • SCAR

B Tier

These quirks start strong but fade later on. Don’t be ashamed to use them, but do swap them out when you can.

  • B39
  • Bizon
  • CZ-762
  • M32
  • TRG

C Tier

In certain situations, quirks in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.

  • M3
  • MPX
  • Origin-12
  • PP-19
  • Vector

D Tier

Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.

    • No weapons are this bad at the moment.

Undawn Tier List FAQ

Still unsure about our tier list? Got questions about Undawn in general? Hopefully our tier list can help!

What’s A Tier List?

We should probably have answered this question at the beginning, eh? A tier list is, quite simply, a list of all of the characters – or quirks, in this case –  in a specific game ranked from best to worst. In our case, S is the best with D being the worst, and A, B, and C filling the gaps.

The purpose of a tier list is to help you determine which characters to use at all stages of the game. We try and make our tier list as useful as possible by explaining our tier system.

For example, there are instances where certain characters are excellent during the beginning of a game, but fade later on. Or, they could be good at a certain game mode. We’ll always try and make this clear.

How Did We Select Our Undawn Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting our Undawn tier list, but, primarily, we judge based on our personal experience with the game. As a result, it is bound to be quite a subjective list, but there’s no getting around that.

To determine the rankings, we both experiment with the weapons in the game (if unlocked), as well as theory-craft based on descriptions and raw statistics. That’s why you’ll see our tier list change so much when a game first launches, as we’re in the testing phase.

It’s also worth noting that we do scour communities, like Reddit, for community feedback. If the general consensus is that a specific perk is strong or weak, we will reflect that in our tier list. That way, it’s got a certain degree of objectivity.

We’ll wrap this section up by reminding you that tier lists are subjective by nature. Your experience may vary completely to ours, so take it with a pinch of salt.

When Do We Update Our Undawn Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our Undawn tier list whenever a new weapon is introduced. It might take us a while to test it for ourselves though, so expect a brief delay.

We also update the list whenever a big balance patch hits, as this will throw the meta out the window. Again, there may be a brief delay as we experiment with the changes and update our rankings.
