The RankSurge Marathon weapons database lists all 29 guns with their type, ammo, damage, accuracy, handling, range and magazine or Volt drain. Filter by weapon type and ammo, sort by any stat, open a weapon to see how it ranks against similar guns, and compare up to four side by side.
How do I find the right weapon?
- Pick a weapon type, such as SMGs or precision rifles, or search by name.
- Sort by the stat you care about most: damage, accuracy, handling or range.
- Open a weapon to see where it ranks among others of its type and which loadouts use it.
- Select Loadout to add it straight to the loadout planner.
What do the weapon stats mean?
Damage is the damage per shot. Accuracy reflects how tightly shots group. Handling covers how quickly the weapon readies and aims. Range is the effective distance in metres before damage drops off. Magazine weapons show rounds per magazine, and Volt weapons show the share of the battery each shot uses.

Frequently asked questions
How many weapons are in Marathon?
Marathon launched with 28 weapons across eight types: pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, SMGs, machine guns, precision rifles and railguns. Season 2 added the D54 Battle Pistol, and Bungie has promised more weapons with the Symbiosis update on December 8, 2026.
What ammo types does Marathon use?
Weapons use Light Rounds, Heavy Rounds, MIPS rounds or Volt Batteries. Volt weapons drain a percentage of the battery per shot instead of using a magazine. Pairing two weapons with the same ammo keeps your backpack simple, while mixing types means you can use more of the ammo you find.
What is the best SMG in Marathon?
The Bully SMG is the top-rated SMG in current tier lists. It uses Heavy Rounds and has the best handling and range of the four SMGs, which helps it win close fights. The BRRT SMG has the largest magazine at 35 rounds.
What is the best sniper rifle in Marathon?
The Outland is the highest-rated sniper rifle. It deals the most damage of the three snipers, at 74 per shot, with 175 metres of range, but has low handling. The Longshot handles better and uses common Light Rounds.
Are these weapon stats up to date?
The stats are the launch values Bungie showed in game in March 2026. Balance patches since then may have changed some numbers, so treat them as a guide and check in game before you commit to a build. Tiers reflect public tier lists checked in October 2026.
How do I compare two Marathon weapons?
Select Compare on up to four weapons, then open the compare tray. The table shows type, ammo, damage, accuracy, handling, range and magazine side by side and highlights the best value in each row. Each weapon page also ranks the gun against every other weapon of its type.
