The TTK Rankings page ranks every Marathon weapon by time-to-kill within its weapon class — Assault Rifles, SMGs, Pistols, Shotguns, LMGs, Precision Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Railguns. TTK is calculated at point-blank range with no headshots, using the formula: (shots − 1) × (60 / RPM). A TTK of 0.000s means the weapon kills in a single shot at that shield tier.

Use the shield tier selector to switch between Standard (140 HP), Enhanced (160 HP), Deluxe (180 HP), and Superior (200 HP) shields. Rankings update instantly — some weapons that dominate against Standard shields fall off significantly against Superior, while high-damage weapons like shotguns maintain their advantage across all tiers.

For a full side-by-side breakdown including damage falloff, ammo cost, and mod slots, see the Weapon Comparison page.
