Brotato Weapon Tier List - All Weapons Ranked (2024)

So you’ve just started playing Brotato and aren’t sure which weapons are good? Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly what our Brotato weapon tier list is here to help with. In this very guide, we rank all of the weapons 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.

Brotato is an action-packed rogue-lite that is available on Switch, PC, and now Android! Delve into top-down shooter combat as you play a potato who wields a variety of weapons. There are tons of weapons and items to choose from during your runs, as well as an excellent selection of traits to use in your builds.

You can learn more about it on the game’s official Steam page. We also recommend checking out our Brotato character tier list, Survior.io tier list, and Vampire Survivors tier list.

Brotato Tier List

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, and a full party will make most of the endgame content trivial – provided you focus on growing their power.
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 party of 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 characters 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.

S Tier

God tier weapons.

Circular Saw
Spiky Shield

A Tier

Solid weapons that are great for filling gaps in your party when you don’t have enough S tiers.

B Tier

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.

Ghost Flint
Jousting Lance

In certain game modes, or at the beginning, weapons in this tier can excel. Mostly, they’re useless though.

Chopper
Pruner
Hammer
Ghost Scepter
Laser Gun

D Tier

Never use D tiers unless you can’t avoid it. They’re awful at all game modes, and at all phases of the game.

Thief Dagger
Hatchet
Plank
Rock
Screwdriver
Torch
Pistol
Potato Thrower

Brotato Weapon Tier List FAQ

Still unsure about our tier list? Got questions about Brotato 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 Brotato Weapon Tier List?

We used a number of different sources when selecting ourBrotato weapon 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 weapon 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 Brotato Weapon Tier List?

You can expect to see an update to our Brotato weapon tier list whenever a new weapon is introduced. It might take us a while to test the character 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.
