Marathon has 28 weapons, at least at the time of beta, and rumors of more weapons coming. All weapons have distinct gameplay, which can be both a pro and a con for some guns. I overviewed all weapons available at the time of open beta, analyzed them, and created this Marathon best weapons tier list. This list is subject to change once the full game releases.

In this Marathon Runner Shells tier list, I’m going to rank all the classes in the game to see who is the best in the current meta. The character system in this title is actually much deeper than a simpler class picker. And your choice will shape your own playstyle, as well as what your squad is capable of. I’ll share two tier lists: one for solo players and the other for squads. You’ll also find my thoughts on every Runner in Marathon and why I place them in a specific tier.
