Vampire Survivors weapons tier list

Find out where Garlic ended up

Vampire Survivors has had a lot of content tossed out post-launch. So we’re drafting up a new tier list to help you sort out the best of the best. We’ll let you know what to block out, what to keep, and what to really aim for when slaying those monsters.

Weapon Tier List for all weapons as of update 1.11: The Darkasso

This list includes all weapons released through the 1.11 update. That includes all the DLC and free content patches. Anything in the S rank is top-tier and should be the primary focus of your builds. Items in the A build are great picks in most situations. B tier is best reserved for situations where you have a free weapon slot. Sometimes the weapon is only good in a specific build. Finally, C Tier is reserved for items you’re better off sealing away permanently.

Weapon evolutions are of course better versions of the base weapons. However, we’re factoring that into the base weapon that we’re ranking. We’re also considering what sub-weapons are required for evolution into the ranking.
