Weapons in [[Tribes: Ascend]] are divided into several categories, based on how they function. While there are many subcategories of weapons (see below), most fit into the following groups:
===Spinfusors===
Spinfusors are straight-firing, long-range weapons that explode on impact. They are the iconic weapons of the Tribes series. Some examples of spinfusors are:

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Light Spinfusor|Light Spinfusor]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Spinfusor|Spinfusor]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Heavy Spinfusor|Heavy Spinfusor]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Stealth Spinfusor|Stealth Spinfusor]]
===Ballistic Weapons===
Ballistic weapons are similar to Spinfusors except they are affected by gravity and thus have a shorter range due to projectile drop. Ballistic weapons fire in arcs. Some examples of ballistic weapons are:

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Bolt Launcher|Bolt Launcher]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Fusion Mortar|Fusion Mortar]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Thumper|Thumper]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Arx Buster|Arx Buster]]
===Projectile Weapons===
Projectile weapons fire bullet-like rounds that do not suffer projectile drop due to gravity. They are typically long-range weapons with a high rate-of-fire. Some examples of projectile weapons are:

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Assault Rifle|Assault Rifle]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/TCN4 SMG|TCN4 SMG]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Nova Blaster|Nova Blaster]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Rhino SMG|Rhino SMG]]
===Hitscan Weapons===
Hitscan weapons instantly hit any target in their crosshair if it is within range. Players do not need to lead targets with hitscan weapons. Some examples of hitscan weapons are:

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Shotgun|Shotgun]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Eagle Pistol|Eagle Pistol]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Phase Rifle|Phase Rifle]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Sawed-Off Shotgun|Sawed-Off Shotgun]]
===Thrown Weapons===
Thrown Weapons are usually belt items such as grenades. Some are time-detonated and some explode on impact. Some examples of thrown weapons are:

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Impact Nitron|Impact Nitron]]

: [[Tribes:_Ascend/Frag Grenade]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/Fractal Grenade|Fractal Grenade]]

: [[Tribes: Ascend/EMP Grenade|EMP Grenade]]
