S Tier

Vampire Knife

  • Why It’s Great: Super-fast attack speed and life-steal. Every hit heals you!
  • Drawback: Can’t be bought—must be found or earned.
  • Playstyle: Perfect if you love jumping into crowds and staying alive with constant healing.

Mauser C96

  • Why It’s Great: Instant firing (no cooldown), solid damage (25 body, 50 head).
  • Drawback: Also not sold in stores.
  • Playstyle: Feels like a stronger revolver that can pump out shots quickly.

A Tier

Maxim Machine Gun

  • Why It’s Great: 100-round turret that shreds groups of enemies with fast, steady fire.
  • Drawback: You must place it on the ground, so you can’t move while using it.
  • Playstyle: Great for defense or holding a position when enemies swarm.

Sawed-Off Shotgun

  • Why It’s Great: Massive close-range damage (75–100). Often a one-shot kill up close.
  • Drawback: Only two shots before reloading; can’t buy it directly in stores.
  • Playstyle: Ideal for blasting big threats at close range in just a shot or two.

Rifle

  • Why It’s Great: Long-range accuracy (no bullet drop) and high damage (75 body, 95 head).
  • Drawback: Slower cooldown (2.5 seconds) and smaller magazine size.
  • Playstyle: Perfect for sniping enemies from a distance with pinpoint accuracy.

B Tier

Shotgun

  • Why It’s Good: Good damage up close (25–50), fast 2-second cooldown, and 6-shell magazine.
  • Drawback: Falls off at range; not as strong as the Sawed-Off.
  • Playstyle: Reliable close combat weapon that’s easier to find than the Sawed-Off.

Revolver

  • Why It’s Good: Affordable ($35), decent damage (25 body, 50 head), quick reload.
  • Drawback: Slightly slower firing compared to Mauser C96.
  • Playstyle: A handy sidearm if you like aiming for headshots without spending a ton.

C Tier

Melee (Starter Weapon/Axe)

  • Why It’s Okay: Free from the start, can stun enemies, deals 20 damage.
  • Drawback: Stunned enemies can still hurt you if you’re too close, plus low damage.
  • Playstyle: Only use until you get something better—helpful early on but replace it ASAP.

Which Weapon Should You Choose?

  • Close-Range Lovers: Sawed-Off or Shotgun.
  • Long-Range Sharpshooters: Rifle.
