There's a ton of Weapons in Locked 2 with varying degrees of power for offense and defense with some being Goalkeeper-only. I'll organize them for you and rank their power and how optimal and flexibile they are in matchmaking and custom games. Here's my Locked 2 Weapon Tier List and guide.

Consider A-Tier excellent alternatives to the Meta and B-Tier situationally powerful options that require more set-up. I won't be considering height and flow combos yet since I'll be adding those later if there's interest.
