Tier list for all the weapons in BO III Zombies

Overview

In this guide i will discuss about weapons in Blops III zombie mode, comparing pros and cons and trying to sort them.

Introduction

Hey everyone, and welcome to this guide / tier list about Blops III zombie mode weapons.This is completely subjective, the rate, pros and cons given down there are from my point of view, though i have a lot of experience in Treyarch zombies, it might be trusfed. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I will basically give:
– Name + Picture
– Personnal rating of the weapon
– Disponibility
– Pros
– Cons
– Upgraded weapon
– Rating, + / –

Due to the newest Steam updates, i cannot add colored text anymore, might have been better. There is a TL;DR at the end of the guide and you can also use CTRL+F to find what you’re looking for.

Another quick note, the ratings i give are comparisons. I mean, the 15/20 on the Dingo, doesn’t mean it’s as efficient as the Pack-a-Punched Gorgon (15/20 aswell), ofc the Athena’s Spear is better than the Dingo. But on the scale of the non-PaPed weapons, the Dingo is a good weapon.
Hope you got what i wanted to say. 8)

Enjoy !

PS: Guide will be update with details and weapons from Zombies Chronicles Remastered maps.
