Marauders weapon guide & gun tier list

This Marauders weapon guide will list the stats of every gun in Marauders, how to unlock them and how to craft them, including both infantry weapons and ship-based weapons. These stats are all based on the Early Access Marauders Closed Alpha release, so will likely change somewhat between now and the Beta, not to mention the full release date of the game. Be advised that this guide is a work in progress: details on crafting info for infantry weapons are particularly light at this stage, but we will be adding to them as we play through the game.

The list of Marauders guns

Note: you may have to use the arrow keys on your keyboard to see all the columns of this table – it’s quite large.

Marauders gun tier list

We have compiled a Marauders weapon tier list, specifically for all the infantry projectile weapons below. We haven’t included melee weapons (which are generally pretty difficult to use effectively) or the anti-personnel mine. The below list isn’t yet finalized, as we haven’t thoroughly tested all the guns in the game (there are a lot) and we may raise or lower the position of some of these guns before we get to the end of the Early Access.

Some notes on the below: the Sawed Off shotgun is in S+ tier purely because it occupies a pistol slot rather than a main weapon slot, which makes it very useful as a last resort (for close encounters). We’ve included the BAR (which can upgrade to 40 rounds with a compensator for reduced recoil) and the Mauser M712 (which can upgrade to an extended mag, with a stock and shoot automatic) based on the fully modded versions of each – you can assume that the unmodded versions are at least one tier lower. The Terminator is bottom tier because of its ridiculously long reload time for the single round, however it does do a lot of damage if you land the shot, The LPO Flamethrower has terrible range and you’re likely to lose most of your health from enemy fire by the time you successfully manage to kill a player, though it is quite funny if you pull it off, and the M1941 Johnson is just pretty terrible.

Tier	Gun
S+	STG-44, BAR (fully modded), Jackhammer, Sawed Off
S	DP28, M16, SVT-40
A	1911 Stamp, MP40, Sten MkII, Bren Mk2, Krása Rifle, M1A1 Para, Uzi, Thompson, Mauser M712 (fully modded)
B	MG42, Trench Gun, Liberator, Luger P08, K1 Assault, PPSH-41, MAC-10, Mosin Obrez Pistol
C	The LPO Flamethrower, M1941 Johnson, Terminator, Welrod

The list of Marauders ship weapons

Ship weapon name	Description	Cost to unlock	Cost to craft	Time to craft

Rocket artillery turret	12 shots with an 8 second reload time	Lvl 12, 2x S.coin, $1,075	1x Metal sheet, 2x Synthetic Scrap, 4x Gunpowder	1:30
Flak turret	medium fire rate, explosion radius, has large overlap, 15 second reload after 30 shots	Lvl 16, 3x S.coin, $1,255
460mm Triple Turret
Howitzer Turret	1 shot with a 3 second reload time, heavy damage	Lvl 24, 4x S.coin, $2,100		1:50

Marauders weapon tier list (for ships)

Our Marauders ship weapon tier list is not as extensive as the main gun tier list, given the much smaller number of options.

The Flak turret is the best of the bunch because it is the perfect middle ground between rate of fire, number of shots and explosion radius. It’s by far the best gun for shooting down enemy boarding pods due to all of these factors.

The Nuclear launcher is great just for the comedy value (it hasn’t yet gotten old), not to mention the ridiculous damage, however the single shot, slow travel time and slow reload time mean you can only really reliably use it if the enemy is near an asteroid/larger object that you can hit so they’re caught in the splash damage – smaller targets are a nightmare to hit. Also, be careful where you’re firing it. Currently, you can reload the launcher by exiting and then re-entering the periscope, though it’s not clear if this is just an exploit or a design feature.

Most of the other guns are tiered relative to their rate of fire and ability to hit small targets.

Tier	Ship Weapon
S	Flak turret
A	Rocket artillery turret
B	Nuclear Launcher, 460mm Triple Turret, Howitzer Turret
C	Torpedo launcher turret
