How this tier list differs from spam wikis
Competitor-style hubs often paste long named inventories. During Beta those strings rot overnight. Our Catch 1 Billion Ducks weapons tier list keeps S/A/B/C/D role cards tied to rifle, auto, shotgun, and heavy archetypes so Google-facing pages stay accurate even when lobby labels shuffle.
Cross-link rule: use this page for stage planning, the weapons database for class primers, and pellet/reload when shotgun downtime is the real villain.
Stats explained
Damage lowers shots-to-kill — the community pivot near two shots on normal ducks unlocks huge Freezer throughput.
Fire rate raises ducks/min only if the dog keeps up; otherwise you paint the grass with uncollected birds.
Reload / magazine decide whether shotgun and auto roles stay A-tier or fall to C when downtime spikes.
Handling (spread, ADS feel) matters more on night bosses where sideways strafes already tax aim.
