Active Matter Tier List

A patch-safe ranking of raid decisions for new players. Weapon and map rankings should be re-tested after official updates.

S S-Tier — Protect the extraction

Decisions that preserve a completed objective, a usable kit, and a route home.

A A-Tier — Build a repeatable baseline

A controllable primary, matching ammunition, basic protection, and one recovery option.

B B-Tier — Add optional risk

Extra loot, utility, or PvP pressure that is useful only after the objective and exit are clear.

C C-Tier — Unverified assumptions

Old timings, untested weapon rankings, and routes that depend on a single lucky run.

Starter priorities

S
Complete the chosen objective

A clear objective is the first condition for a profitable extraction.

S
Keep an extraction route and fallback

A route you can explain under pressure is worth more than one extra container.

A
Use a controllable baseline weapon

Consistency makes weapon and route testing possible across patches.

A
Reserve healing and matching ammunition

The kit must support the objective and the trip home, not only the opening fight.

B
Take optional loot after a reset

Useful when the squad is together and the exit remains clear.

B
Contest every visible enemy

Sometimes valuable, often unnecessary; fight when it changes the raid.

C
Copy an old “best gun” list

Patch-sensitive claims need a build number and controlled runs.
