Resident Evil 4 Weapons Tier List – All Weapons Ranked
So you’ve just started playing Resident Evil 4 and aren’t sure which characters are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Resident Evil weapons 4 tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the characters from S tier to D tier, with S being best and D being worst. That way, you can focus on filling out your party with 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.
Resident Evil 4 is the latest remake in the world-famous franchise! Play as Leon S. Kennedy, a survivor of the Raccoon City disaster, as he tries to find the kidnapped daughter of the president. He finds himself in a mysterious village full of infected hordes, and it’s up to you to navigate this desolate location. The remake features a few changes from the original, while including gorgeous graphical upgrades!
You can learn more about it on the official site. We also recommend checking out our Darktide Error classes guide, Pilgrammed races guide, and our Wild Hearts materials guide.
- Please keep in mind that the game isn’t out just yet, so take our tier list with a pinch of salt. We’ve included weapons from the original game as we assume they will be available in the remake. However, if we find out more information about which weapons will appear in the game, we’ll update this guide as soon as we can!
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 and increasing their power. One of these can carry you through the entire game!
- A Tier: If your collection is lacking in S tiers, A tiers are great for filling gaps. 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: During the early phases of the game, you’ll likely rely on a single S tier and a bunch of B tiers. These weapons are quite easy to get, 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. They might be really strong in a particular game mode, or during a certain phase of the game. Take a close look at their skills and judge accordingly.
- D Tier: Weapons in this tier are simply never worth using. They’re the worst weapons in the game, suffering from severe balance issues, and will underperform at all points in any modes. Don’t use them if you can avoid it.
God tier weapons.
- Infinite Rocket Launcher
- P.R.L. 412
Solid weapons that are great for filling gaps in your loadout when you don’t have enough S tiers.
- Grenades
- TMP
- Red9
- Chicago Typewriter
These weapons start strong but fade later on. Don’t be ashamed to use them, but do swap them out as you unlock S and A tiers.
- Killer 7
- Striker
- Handgun
- Semi-Auto Rifle
In certain game modes, or at the beginning, weapons in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.
- Mine Thrower
- Punisher
- Riot Gun
- Broken Butterfly
Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.
- Rocket Launcher
- Shotgun
- Rifle
- Knife
- Matilda
Still unsure about our tier list? Got questions about Resident Evil 4 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 in a specific game ranked from best to worst. In our case, S is the best characters 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 Resident Evil 4 Weapons Tier List?We used a number of different sources when selecting our Resident Evil 4 weapons 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 skill 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 character 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 Resident Evil 4 Weapons Tier List?You can expect to see an update to our Resident Evil 4 tier list whenever a new weapon is introduced. It might take us a while to test the weapon 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.
