Life in Prison Weapons Tier List

This ranking is for public 30-player servers. Stash locations live on hidden weapons. Pass rules live on gamepasses. Tree crafts live on White Tree. Tools that are not guns sit on the tools tier list. If a patch moves the minigun, this chart and the changelog both get a note.

S-tier

Minigun. The original location video treated it as unique. Volume of fire deletes a doorway. Heavy, loud, worth the death run.

AWM. Sniper-pass member and a world stash. Zoom then hold right mouse — controls. Wins mountains and yard towers.

UFO as a weapon platform. Not a gun, but height plus any rifle is S. Path: how to get the UFO.

A-tier

AR-15 / Famas (Swat). You loot them; you do not spawn wearing them. Tree swap inside the pass is the reliable AR-15. Shield plus armor on the same pass makes you a hallway boss.

M60. Comments moved it into the new police building. LMG pressure on gates.

Rocket launcher. Video needed bible + keycard for one pickup. Deletes clumps. Friendly fire exists in spirit even when the number is low — do not fire into your raid.

Holy Cross. ~45 close-range. Two bibles, two players. Cells and armory halls, not sniper duels.

Taser (guard spawn or tree). Stops a runner without a mag dump. Criminal tasers from keycard trades are A because cops do not expect them. See criminals.

DB shotgun / bat. Video openers. Shotgun for doors, bat for panic melee.

B-tier

MP5, Luger, M40 (Sniper pass). Fine if you already paid. M40 comments called it “AWM but worse.” Luger is a tree input toward MP5/AWM.

Guard sidearm / M9-style drops. Enough to start a keycard farm, not enough to hold a mountain.

Frag. Highway-bridge corner. Team damage notes in old comments. Use outside.

C-tier

Stop sign, lantern, food. Flex, light, or tree tests (apple/mango). Not a riot plan.

How to actually get S-tier

Leave with how to escape, fly or walk the stash tour, then decide if Premium/Swat/Sniper is worth Robux via the loadout tool. Scripts that auto-grab guns are reported. No codes spawn a minigun. Guards should deny the armory first; stashes second. Getting started still beats a chart if you die at the fence with an AWM you cannot reload. Rank for the fight you are in, not the thumbnail.

Fight the room you are in, not the thumbnail

Minigun in a cell is a trap. AWM in a closet is a trap. Holy Cross on a mountain is a trap. Take the gun that matches the next thirty seconds. Hallway: Cross or shotgun. Yard tower: AWM. Gate: minigun or rocket if you can not hit your raid. Guard sidearm is for starting a card farm, not for holding a hill. Pass rifles are A only after the walk to the rack. If you never walk, they are empty calories. Frag outside. Food is not a gun. After you pick, reload in cover. The chart will not reload for you. Come back when the changelog moves a stash — S-tier is a location plus a trigger, not a skin.

Extra field notes for this page

Read this after the main sections, not instead of them. Public servers punish hesitation more than they punish a wrong tool. If the lobby is loud, pick the quietest legal option on this page and commit for two minutes before you reroll. If the lobby is empty, you can afford a second method. Do not open a codes tab, an injector installer, or a fake Trello while you are still deciding. Those tabs steal the session you were about to play. After you commit, stay on the matching guide. Come back only when a patch moves a spawn. Unique close-out for tier-list/weapons: walk the advice above against the live place 72659788689464 before you trust a clip.
