In this Warframe weapon tier list, we’ll rank all weapons in the game to help you decide on the best ones overall.
In short, the best weapons in the game are Bubonico, Phantasma Prime, and Torid.
Let’s rank all weapons in turn, starting from the best ones, and explain why they manage to stand out.
S-Tier Weapons (Best Ones in Warframe)
S-Tier weapons are must-have options due to their phenomenally high damage, type of damage, primary and alternate fire effects, and all-around kit. Here are your top choices:
- Bubonico
- Phantasma Prime
- Torid
Let’s explain in detail what makes these three stand out.
Bubonico
With some of the best primary and alternate fire modes in the game, Bubonico is a great option to take down enemies quickly.
It uses a combination of Toxin and Viral, which, combined with the fact that it’s a battery weapon and it doesn’t need ammo, makes it an amazing weapon choice.
Phantasma Prime
The Phantasma Prime is a beam shotgun with high Critical stats, range, and more ammo compared to its non-prime counterpart. It’s an upgrade from an already great weapon
Torid
The best weapon in Warframe is Torid. It’s an innate Toxin weapon, which allows for a lot of flexibility in terms of builds.
You don’t even need to aim for headshots, as it deals high poison damage. With incarnate activated, it deals AoE damage that chains to enemies.
To make the most out of your build, consider combining these with our Warframe tier list of the best frames in the game.
A-Tier Weapons
