Elden Ring has taken the world by storm and a significant part of the player base is still loyal and active in the community. With many patches and updates since release, you may be wondering what the best weapons in Elden Ring are. Here’s our tier list.
Best Elden Ring Weapons: Tier List Explained
We will divide all the currently available weapons in Elden Ring into Tiers:
- S-Tier weapons are hands down the best in the game.
- A-Tier weapons are very strong but they are overshadowed by S-Tier.
- B-Tier weapons are strong, but you would need an appropriate build to accompany them.
- C-Tier weapons are in the middle of the list – bad compared to the above tiers, even though there’s nothing really wrong with them. Simply, if there’s something better available, you should go for it without a doubt.
- D-Tier weapons are at the top of the bottom half, and this is in the zone you should (mostly) avoid. A lot of basic weapons fall into this category.
- E-Tier weapons are truly weak.
- F-Tier weapons are good if you’re live streaming Elden Ring with some weird, garbage, or no gear challenge, to put it simply. In terms of views that you can get, this might just be the S-Tier you really need. Even the Sword of (Ricardo) Milos is there, for crying out loud. It cannot get more memetastic than this.
We’ll update this list as the game evolves if the below standings change.
