Introduction

A Baddies tier list is a community argument, not a data sheet. The game publishes no damage table, no swing-speed numbers and no official rankings, so every placement here comes from players testing weapons against each other in live servers and comparing notes. What makes a tier meaningful in Baddies is not raw damage but how a weapon performs in the situations players actually meet: a crowded lobby with three-way fights, a corridor scrap, or a duel where both players know the move set. This list is split by price bracket for that reason, so a free-to-play player can read a usable ranking instead of one dominated by Robux tools they will never own.

Baddies Weapon Tier List

TierWeaponsWhy they sit hereWatch out for
SSpiked Bat, Spiked PurseBest damage relative to recovery, and both win most even fightsSlow swings punish you hard after a miss
ABrass Knuckles, Fish Slap, Stanley CupExcellent in the right hands and reliable across most situationsWeaker when two or more players pressure you at once
BFrying Pan, Lover Board, Hair DryerCheap and usable, but they lose straight trades against higher tiersNo standout strength to build a playstyle around
CFists, Glitter BombUtility picks rather than damage dealersFists cannot finish; Glitter Bomb only buys escape time

Tier Breakdowns

S

S Tier

Top

Spiked Bat and Spiked Purse

Why SBoth weapons combine enough damage to end a fight quickly with a recovery window short enough that missing once is survivable. That balance is what separates them from everything below.
PlaystyleThey reward patience. You are looking for an opponent who has already committed to an animation, not racing them to the first hit.
CounterplayFast weapons can beat them by baiting a swing and punishing the recovery, which is why knuckles players keep the matchup close.
A

A Tier

Strong

Brass Knuckles, Fish Slap, Stanley Cup

Why AThese weapons are genuinely strong but each has a condition attached: knuckles need close range, the Fish Slap needs you to already have fundamentals, and the Stanley Cup advertises your position.
PlaystyleA tier rewards a specific approach rather than general strength, so pick the one that matches how you already fight instead of the one with the best reputation.
CounterplayKeep them at the wrong distance. Knuckles hate reach, the Fish Slap hates being crowded, and the cup hates being focused by two players at once.
B

B Tier

Budget

Frying Pan, Lover Board, Hair Dryer

Why BThese are the weapons you own while you save. They are cheap, they are available, and they will lose an even trade against anything above them, but they are far better than fighting with nothing.
PlaystyleUse them to farm cash rather than to pick fights. Their job is to keep you armed and mobile while your balance climbs toward an S tier purchase.
CounterplayThere is not much to fear here unless you are unarmed, which is precisely why they are worth owning as a backup rather than a main.
C

C Tier

Utility

Fists and Glitter Bomb

Why CNeither is a damage weapon. Fists exist to charge the blue bar and cannot realistically finish a healthy opponent, while the Glitter Bomb obscures vision and creates escape windows rather than kills.
PlaystyleTreat them as tools. Fists are how you build toward a hair pull, and the Glitter Bomb is how you leave a fight you should not have joined.
CounterplayPressure them. A player relying on fists has no finishing threat, so you can trade freely and win the exchange on damage alone.

Core Mechanics

Reading a tier list in Baddies means accepting that the ranking is contextual rather than absolute. A weapon's position depends on how many players are in the fight, how much room there is, and whether the opponent knows your recovery window. In a one-on-one duel with space to move, fast weapons overperform and heavy weapons have to work for their openings. In a crowded server where a third player can appear mid-swing, heavy weapons gain value because somebody is always committed to an animation nearby. The tier list above assumes a typical mixed lobby, which is why it rewards weapons that are good at more than one thing.

Advantages

A bracket-split tier list is genuinely more useful than a single ranking, because it answers the question players actually have: what should I buy with what I have. It also stops the list from being dominated by Robux items, and it makes the gap between tiers honest, since the difference between a B tier frying pan and an S tier bat is real but not so large that a skilled player cannot close it. A community list is also updated quickly, so when a weekend patch changes how a weapon feels the ranking can move within days rather than waiting for official data that never arrives, and readers can compare their own experience against a shared baseline instead of guessing in isolation.

Challenges

The unavoidable weakness of any Baddies tier list is that it is opinion with a date stamp. There are no official numbers to anchor placements, so two experienced players can reasonably disagree about whether the Fish Slap belongs in A or B, and the ranking you read may have been assembled from a different server culture than the one you play in. The list also struggles with utility weapons, which do not fit a damage-first ranking, and with new items, which are often overrated for a week after release because early adopters are the ones reporting on them. Any placement can also be invalidated by a single unannounced balance patch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Baddies tier list official?+
No, and it cannot be. Meow Meow Games does not publish weapon stats, so there is no authoritative source to rank from. Every placement is community consensus built from players testing weapons in live servers and comparing results. That makes the list a useful starting point rather than a verdict, and it means you should trust your own experience over the ranking once you have used a weapon enough to know how it feels in the lobbies you actually play in.
Which weapon is best for free-to-play players?+
The Spiked Bat is the usual answer, because it is bought with in-game cash rather than Robux and it wins even trades against almost everything in its price range. If you prefer a faster style, the Brass Knuckles are the free-to-play alternative and they handle corridors better. Both are affordable within a session or two of running the ATM rotation, which is what makes the free-to-play path in Baddies genuinely viable rather than a consolation prize.
Do tier lists change with updates?+
They change constantly. Baddies ships patches almost every weekend, and any change to a weapon's reach, recovery or damage moves it in the ranking. New weapons also tend to debut high and settle downward once the novelty wears off and players learn to counter them. Treat any ranking without a visible date as suspect, and re-test your main weapon after a patch rather than assuming last month's verdict still holds.

Quick Tips

💡

Re-test your main weapon after every patch. Weekend updates quietly change how weapons feel, and a placement that was correct last month may not survive a reach or recovery adjustment that nobody announced. If a ranking page does not show when it was last checked, assume it predates the most recent weekend patch and verify the top pick yourself before buying.

💡

Rank by situation rather than by damage. Ask which weapon wins the fights you actually get into, because a heavy hitter you cannot land with loses consistently to a faster weapon you can use reliably under pressure. Two players of equal skill will disagree about the same weapon, which is a sign the ranking is contextual rather than a sign that one of them is wrong.

💡

Treat newly added weapons with suspicion for a week. Early reports on fresh items come from the players most excited about them, which is not the same thing as an honest assessment once the novelty has worn off. Keep a note of which weapon you lose to most often, because that is usually a more honest guide to the current meta than any published list.
