Below is a listing of every standard certification weapon in the game as well as our testing of what their range and damage is. If you'd prefer to see a full table listing of all weapons instead of this more detailed listing please check out our Full Weapon's Table Listing.

Weapons have a set amount of base damage against various targets. Soft targets such as infantry, MAX suits, and Vehicles all have different base damage modifiers. The armor you wear determines how much of that damage is absorbed by your armor but in all cases the damage of the armor plus your health will always equal the weapon's maximum damage against our specified target.

How to read our damage counter:
You will see two numbers with the exception of Infiltrators because they have no armor that look like this: 10:15 or the word "Terminal".

In this case the first number 10 is how much of the base damage is taken by your health directly. The second number 15 is how much of the base damage was absorbed by the stated armor. "Terminal" indicates the damage dealt to the target was fatal with the assumption that the target has a standard 100 health.

Feminine Divinity Note:
- Our performed damage testing was taken in optimal conditions. Distance and the weapon in use will alter the damage as we've stated. You cannot for instance expect a JackHammer to perform our stated damage at 100meters away.
- This is not an all inclusive test. Cone of Fire and Rate of Fire as well as damage degradation over range factors into the final amount of damage dealt. Advanced testing will take place at some point but currently this testing does not account for the above mentioned.
- All Base Damage indications noted here are the base damage for soft targets only. While we included the MAX in our testing these take a different base damage that is not noted here.
-Range isn't exact on all computers due to server packets and the PlanetSide client. So while we may state a weapon has a range of 10meters, you may still be able to perform damage at 10.3meters even if your crosshairs are yellow which indicates an "out of range". Rarely will you be able to perform damage over a meter or two away from our stated range.
- You may see some damage modifiers noted as "Aggravated". This indicates the total damage is dealt over time and is not instant.
