All Weapon Locations
Weapon | Description | Possible First Encounter Location |
Atropian Blade | The Atropian Blade is the game’s only melee weapon and you never lose it after acquiring it. This is excellent for stunning enemies and killing off smaller enemies with a single hit. | Overgrown Ruins |
Coilspine Shredder | Coilspine Shredder shoots discs that bounce off enemies and surfaces and can deal damage to multiple enemies. You can charge them up as well by holding down the trigger. Charing them up makes them more powerful. It is a good long-range weapon. | Echoing Ruins |
Dreadbound | Dreadbound fires deadly boomerangs that return back to the weapon. The damage depends on your distance from the enemy and the closer you are to the enemy, the higher amount of damage you deal with the enemy. Since technically, you are not reloading the weapon, it has no Overload like all the other weapons of the game. | Fractured Wastes |
Electropylon Driver | This could be a Wattson from Apex Legends that you can put in your pocket because this weapon shoots pylons that stick to surfaces and enemies and then uses energy transfer between other pylons to deal damage to enemies that come in their range. Once their energy depletes, they disappear from the scene. | Echoing Ruins |
Hollowseeker | Hollowseeker is an assault rifle with a really high rate of fire and can kill monsters rather easily with its long to medium range combat effectiveness | Crimson Wastes |
Modified Sidearm SD-M8 | This is your starting weapon in the game and all of your runs begin with the Modified Sidearm SD-M8 equipped. Tapping the fire button quickly results in an inaccurate, high rate of fire but pressing down the trigger results in a slower but steadier rate of fire. | You have it by default |
Pyroshell Caster | You can consider this as a sticky grenade launcher because the projectiles that the Pyroshell Caster shoots, stick to enemies and explode in a fiery manner. It is most effective at medium range | Abyssal Scar |
Rotgland Lobber | Rotgland Lobber is a useful weapon in the game because it fires acid blobs at enemies and acid can deal damage to enemies over time. You can adjust the range of the blobs by holding down the trigger and releasing it to shoot at your desired location | Overgrown Ruins |
Spitmaw Blaster | Spitmaw Blaster is a shotgun and it is best for close range to medium range combat scenarios. Each fire has a widespread which makes it really deadly for close-range kills | Overgrown Ruins |
Tachyomatic Carbine | It is a long to medium range assault rifle and fires alien energy rounds at a high rate of speed however short burst fires are more accurate. | Overgrown Ruins |
Thermogenic Launcher | The Thermogenic Launcher is a rocket launcher and it fires slow but extremely powerful projectiles at enemies that explode on contact. This is however a rather ineffective weapon because after three shots it requires a cooldown before you can use it again | Derelict Citadel |
