The Cycle Frontier is a free-to-play PvPvE video game that revolves around a deserted planet. You play as Prospectors on a planet with hostile players and monsters while completing different contracts. As you progress, you need the best weapons out there to survive. But which ones to select? Here’s our weapon tier list ranked from best to worst in The Cycle: Frontier.
The Cycle: Frontier Best Weapon Tier List
S+ Tier: Here are all the overpowered and top guns are at. These weapons not only have a high gun penetration but also a quick reload time. With Kinetic Arbiter, you can not only shoot off monsters but also players coming in your way. Speaking about the rest, each weapon has a high damage penetration and quick reload time. On top of that, these weapons have the highest accuracy rate.
S- Tier: As the name LMG Guarantee suggests, it surely guarantees you frags. This weapon is a light machine gun that has the highest gun penetration and reloads faster. The rest of the weapons
A Tier: The weapons in this tier have a high fire rate and penetration. But the reason why these guns are placed on this list is because of the low DMG. Although these weapons can reload quickly, they inflict lesser damage upon enemies.
B Tier: While the weapons in this list offer a low fire rate and penetration, they have a decent DMG stat. You can use the weapons during close and medium ranged combat. KBR Longshot and PKR Maelstorm can inflict the most damage out of this tier. So, make sure to purchase these weapons when you are looking to inflict some serious damage.
C Tier: These guns lack in all the overall aspects. While these guns can be used for starters, make sure to replace them with higher tiers as you progress.
D Tier: There are two major reasons why this gun alone is ranked here in this list. Low reload and low DMG!
Bulldog can be used only during close-ranged combat. But to the nature of the game, you cannot expect that. While it has a low gun penetration, its reload time is even lower. Also, this gun inflicts has a lower fire rate and inflicts lesser damage.

The Cycle Best Weapons
Mentioned below are our picks for the best weapons:
- Manticore
- Voltaic Brute
- PKR Maelstorm
- ICA Guarantee
Let’s delve into each one of these weapons in more detail.
Manticore
While Manticore has a lesser accuracy, it is a pretty good weapon to start from. This assault rifle is lightweight and has a better armor penetration as compared to other weapons. With a magazine size of 24, it has a pretty great damage output and a high rate of fire.
Voltaic Brute
As its description states, Voltaic Brute offers high versatility. But it was nerfed down to a great extent during its open-beta phase. You can use this SMG for long-range and close-ranged combat. It has a magazine size of 25 and a reload time of 2.5 seconds. With the right tweaking and applying some attachments, you can reduce its recoil.
PKR Maelstorm
This shotgun for me is the best weapon for close-range combat. PKR Maelstorm has high penetration and inflicts great damage against enemies. But if you are thinking of using it for medium or long-ranged encounters, this might not be the weapon for you. It has the widest spread among all the weapons and can be used as a finisher.
ICA Guarantee
As the name of this machine gun already suggests, it guarantees more than a couple of kills as you use it. ICA Guarantee has an incredibly high fire rate and armor penetration. But it might not a weapon to use if you want to sneak up on an enemy. You can use this weapon in PvE as well as PvP modes efficiently.
