S Tier Top of the Meta Weapons in
The very best guns in Arena Breakout Infinite define the competitive meta, boasting unmatched time-to-kill, premium ammo access, and flexibility across all maps.
| Weapon | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 H416 (HK416) | + Laser-beam controllability with top builds and grips. + Handles T6/T7 ammo for near-instant kills + Versatile from close to long range with large attachment variety. - Extremely costly to kit for full potential. |
 MK14 | + Select-fire (semi/auto) for flexible engagements. + High per-shot damage with M61/M62 ammo for two-taps on T6. + Works as a pseudo-DMR at range or full-auto up close. - Heavy recoil and steep mod/ammo cost make it hard to use. |
A Tier Weapons: Elite and Reliable
Strong, versatile weapons that can carry you through end-game raids but are a small step behind the absolute best.
| Weapon | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 FAL | + One of the few AR supporting T6 ammo. + Excellent close–mid damage with lase accuracy. + Powerhouse when mastered. - High recoil and overly expensive attachments keep it out of S tier. |
 P90 | + Blistering 1000 RPM fire rate with strong T5 ammo. + Great for close-quarters and aggressive pushes. + Stable recoil once fully modded - Damage and penetration fall off sharply at long range. |
 SVD | + Semi-auto DMR with high per-shot power and excellent accuracy. + Superb with thermal or long-range optics. - Heavy and expensive being less maneuverable in close-quarters. |
 AEK | + Extremely stable recoil with T4–T6 ammo + Strong price-to-performance ratio as it's cheaper than HK416 - Requires investment in optics and grips to match S-tier builds |
 AK-12 | + Smooth handling and easy recoil control + Excellent with BS/AP ammo - Lower raw DPS than H416; needs premium attachments for best feel |
 AR-57 | + Excellent TTK rivaling H416 with 5.7 mm ammo + Good effective range and controllable spray - Higher ammo cost and slight horizontal recoil |
 M4A1 | + Balanced stats and huge attachment ecosystem + Capable of near-zero recoil with optimal build - Costs ~120 k more than AK-12 to achieve that stability |
 M110 | + Semi-auto marksman rifle with reliable two-shot kills on T6 + Effective at long range while staying relatively light - High-end builds and premium ammo remain expensive |
 M24 | + Highest skill ceiling of any bolt-action + Excellent one-shot potential with top ammo - Requires precision and perfect aim as missed shots are punished with long recovery. |
T03 | + Cheap T5 ammo and very low recoil for precise fire + Shreds at mid- to long-range for its price - Less flexible than top ARs in frantic close-range fights |
B Tier — Solid and Affordable
Good all-rounders and budget-friendly options that can still win fights, but they lag slightly in power, handling, or cost-efficiency.
| Weapon | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 RPK-16 | + Best LMG for sustained fire; controllable with grips + Cheap and plentiful ammo - Heavier handling and slower ADS compared to ARs |
 Mosin-Nagant | + Budget one-shot potential with T6/T7 ammo + Great for money-making sniper runs - Very slow follow-up shots; unforgiving on misses |
 Mac-10 | + Incredible limb damage with flesh rounds; extremely cheap and fast TTK for leg builds. + Small, lightweight, easy to carry as a secondary weapon. - Low effective range, weak penetration and poor performance vs armored targets. - Becomes a liability outside leg-meta play. |
 AK-102 | + Excellent sleeper AR with solid DPS and controllable recoil + Affordable to build and maintain - Premium ammo can be pricey if fully min-maxed |
 Vector .45 | + Extremely high RPM and low recoil up close + Strong with HS or AP ammo for leg shots - Range and penetration are limited |
 SCAR-L | + Good damage and mod potential. + Feels stable with basic builds. - Lower fire rate and higher price than comparable ARs. |
 ACE31 | + Works well as a semi-auto DMR or full-auto at close range. + Compact size saves inventory space. - Mediocre stock recoil without investment. |
 MDR | + Mid-to-high firepower with very controllable recoil on correct builds. + Good effective range and flexible magazine/attachment options so it can work as a budget DMR/AR hybrid. - Loses to top-end ARs/HK in pure TTK and best builds still cost a chunk. |
 AUG | + High accuracy and solid handling without any mods. + Stable platform for mid-range engagements and is decent on a budget compared to HK/AEK. - Lower raw DPS vs the absolute meta and best results require correct barrel/optic choices. |
 USAS-12 | + Extremely high rate of fire for a shotgun, which is devastating in close quarters and ambushes. + Selective fire and mag capacity allow for flexible use on small maps or armory runs. - Severe range falloff and inconsistent one-shot capability at anything but point-blank. |
 AN-94 | + Hyper-fast two-round burst for excellent first-shot TTK if mastered. + Good recoil control in burst mode compared to full-auto ARs. - Ammo and effective range don’t scale as well as other meta ARs |
 DT MDR | + Excellent handling and recoil when modded. + Flexible mods let it double as a budget DMR/AR hybrid. - Falls behind top ARs in raw TTK - Meta builds are expensive |
C Tier — Niche or Outclassed
Usable in a pinch but underwhelming for serious raids. Suitable for early-game or very specific builds.
| Weapon | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 S12K | + Strong damage and fast semi-auto fire with right mods + Effective for budget rushes - Inconsistent one-shot kills and has a limited range |
 UMP45 | + Familiar handling and easy to aim with decent stopping power for a compact SMG. + Useful in tight, aggressive, quick-kit/close engagements. - Has high recoil without expensive mods. - If the meta is dominated by red/AP tappers (HK/AEK/AK12 etc.), UMP45 becomes an E-tier pick in those lobbies due to poor ammo/penetration matchups. |
 MP5 | + Great starter SMG with easy handling. - Low damage and armor penetration. |
 Uzi | + Readily available and cheap. - Poor accuracy and weak DPS. |
 MP-133 | + Simple pump shotgun for emergencies. - Clearly outclassed by S12K and USAS-12. |
 VSS | + Integrated suppressor for stealth builds. - Heavy recoil and very slow bullet speed make it unreliable. |
 SVDS | + Budget-friendly semi-auto DMR. - Clunky and underpowered next to SVD or M110. |
 M96 | + Lightweight carbine for early-game use. - Universally rated as one of the weakest rifles available. |
MCX | + Very low recoil base profile, easy to control for new players; good ergonomics. + Cheap ammo options and versatile for early/medium economy runs. - Shorter effective range than many ARs; gets outclassed by better rifles when properly kitted. |
 AX50 | + Extremely high damage and long effective range, capable of one-shot kills on T6 ammo with .50 BMG. - Very heavy and slow to operate |
 AR30 | + High-caliber accuracy. + Reliable one-shot chest or head potential . - Bolt-action rate and heavy handling leave you exposed. |
 SKS | + Solid semi-auto damage with cheap ammo. + Easy to use as an early-game DMR alternative. - Slower follow-up and weaker penetration, gets outclassed quickly. |
D Tier — Last Resort
Poor recoil control, bad penetration, or limited damage output. Only serviceable for early quests or extreme budget runs.
| Weapon | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|
 Mini-14 | + Decent accuracy with mods. - Low per-shot damage with poor penetration. |
 MP40 | + Historical SMG fun factor. - Outclassed in RPM and damage by all modern SMGs. |
 QC61 / T79 | + Cheap 7.62×25mm option. - Weak range and inconsistent recoil. |
 Low-tier pistols (M9A3, CZ52, T54, M1911, T05) | - Severely lacking against armored players. |
 M300 Revolver | + Novelty big-caliber revolver for cool kills. - Slow reload and very limited tactical use. |
