Survive a Million Monkeys Weapon Tier List
Use this Survive a Million Monkeys weapon tier list for progression choices. Compare minigun crowd use, SMG reward access, burst firing and the starter pistol.
This Survive a Million Monkeys weapon tier list ranks four named guns for progression value: access, observed handling and usefulness as waves become crowded. Minigun is the S-tier later-run target, SMG is A for its community reward access, Burst rifle is B for its distinct firing pattern, and Pistol is C as the starter you can keep while saving. These are editorial priorities, not an official damage ranking.
Watch the pistol, burst rifle and later minigun in this gameplay run. Their handling and purchase sequence provide the practical context for the recommendations below.
S to C progression priorities
| Tier | Weapon | Reason for the placement |
|---|---|---|
| S | Minigun | A later-run savings target used for crowd clearing during continued waves. |
| A | SMG | A named gun available through the community reward claim, without a listed shop purchase. |
| B | Burst rifle | A handling choice for players who want bursts rather than continuous fire. |
| C | Pistol | An early weapon to keep using while deciding on a meaningful next option. |
The tiers compare the attention each gun deserves in a progression plan. They do not imply that an SMG outdamages a burst rifle, or that the pistol cannot survive a fight. Access and stage matter here: a free reward can be worth claiming before you have the money for the later S-tier target.
Why the minigun is the later target
The minigun is used after the player saves battle money, then continues fighting increasingly dense waves. That makes it a concrete later-run target for a player whose next problem is crowd pressure. Save toward the current shop price rather than treating a video's remaining money gap as the full cost.
S tier is not permission to stop moving. The run stays crowded after the purchase. Continue preserving an escape route so sustained firing can help you clear pressure from a position you can leave.
Take the free option before judging its place in your loadout
The SMG's A tier is about access. Its community reward route asks you to like the game, enable notifications and join the gorilla warfare. Roblox community, then claim at the purple lobby gift box. It is a different task from entering a code.
Claiming that option can expand your choice without assuming an unverified damage advantage. Once you have it, compare its in-game description and handling with the gun you already use. The tier does not supply a numerical SMG-versus-rifle verdict.
Keep B and C in context
The burst rifle offers a burst pattern. Choose it because that pattern suits how you aim at advancing enemies, not because the word “rifle” guarantees a universal upgrade. A weapon's pattern matters when you must keep shooting while preserving space around you.
The pistol's C tier describes its place as an early option in this progression plan. Keep it if it still clears your immediate route while you save. Replacing a workable starter merely to leave C tier gives the label more importance than the purchase's actual purpose.

Weapon tier questions
Is this a highest-DPS list?
No. It is an editorial progression ranking using access and observed handling. It does not invent damage, range, fire-rate or reload values.
Should I skip the SMG because it is below S?
No. Its reward access can make it worth claiming early. The minigun's placement describes a later target, not a rule to ignore an available reward.
