Top Highguard Weapons and Which Ones to Choose

The selection of Highguard weapons and guns is currently limited, but each option has its strengths, with a few standing out as top choices. Some weapons are straightforward and adaptable, while others deliver significant firepower but can be a bit cumbersome. My go-to favorites include the Vanguard assault rifle, Paladin shotgun, Longhorn revolver, and Viper SMG. If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown of the best weapons in a tier list format or want to explore all the weapons along with their high-rarity mods, I’ve compiled that information below.

In my experience, all the weapons in Highguard are solid, but this tier list will guide you on what to prioritize for your initial loadout and when gearing up for a showdown over the Shieldbreaker.

When it comes to Raid Weapons, they serve a different purpose than the standard arsenal, focusing on demolishing the enemy team’s base. Generally, you should opt for either the Rocket Launcher or the Blast Hammer, as both excel at tearing down walls. The choice largely depends on your personal playstyle and the type of base you’re attacking. The Rocket Launcher can take down one wall at a time from any distance, while the Hammer is incredibly destructive and effective for breaking through floors and walls, though it may put you in closer proximity to enemy players. The Zipline can be handy in certain situations, allowing you to outmaneuver foes within their base, but it’s not essential compared to the other two weapons. It’s more of a nice-to-have if someone on your team wants to use it, rather than a critical component of your raiding strategy—especially since some of the top Highguard Wardens have abilities that might be more beneficial.

Currently, there are 10 guns in Highguard, along with three Raid Weapons, most of which have at least one modded version that you can loot more easily as a match progresses or purchase from Trader Flynn. Below, I’ve detailed every Highguard weapon, how each one functions, and the specifics of their mods, if applicable.
