Where the materials come from

Every material the weapons above are made of, and how you get it.

All-rounders

Weapons that score in the top quarter on two or more axes at once. The safe picks rather than the specialists.

Every weapon that is strictly outclassed

71 of 93 weapons are beaten by another weapon of the same class on every axis at once. Damage, versatility, durability and weight. Not "worse on balance": worse on all four, with nothing it does better. If you are carrying one of these, the weapon listed beside it is a straight upgrade in the same class, with no trade-off to weigh.
