Why This Ranking?

Rankings are based on time-to-kill at medium range (15–40m) at Pro skill level against a Standard (Grey) shield (140 EHP), using verified stats from the Bungie in-game Armory (Launch March 2026). The 12-step TTK formula accounts for damage per shot, fire rate, magazine size, reload time, and per-range accuracy (hit rate). All 28 weapons use base unmodded stats. Tier labels (S–D) reflect Durandal's standard TTK thresholds applied consistently across all weapon classes.

Unlike opinion-based tier lists, these rankings update automatically with each patch reseed. TTK values change when Bungie adjusts damage, fire rate, magazine size, or accuracy. Weapons with in-game verified stats show a 1.0 badge next to their name. All others use datamined or community-confirmed values flagged with a confidence indicator.
