Welcome to the most detailed Gunfire Reborn weapon tier list you’ll ever find! I spent days researching, running calculations, and making sure every weapon is ranked based on hard data rather than just opinions. This breakdown covers each weapon’s performance, strengths, and weaknesses, ensuring you have the best possible understanding of what to pick up in your runs. So, let’s get started!

Understanding Weapon Performance

Before diving into specific weapons, it’s essential to understand the ranking methodology. Each weapon’s DPS (Damage Per Second) is calculated based on two values:

• Low-End DPS: Assumes only normal hits.
• High-End DPS: Assumes maximum critical hits.

Additionally, elemental weapons are a mixed bag, as some effects (Miasma) are broken while others (Manipulation) are nearly useless. With that in mind, let’s break down the weapons by category.

---

Rifles (Use Green Ammo, 25% Damage Boost)

Big Hippo – C Tier

Massive magazine and high fire rate, but poor accuracy and recoil. Feels strong at first, but its performance is lackluster in higher difficulties.

Cavalry – B Tier

Accurate, and every third shot is a guaranteed crit. Solid damage, manageable recoil, and no real drawbacks.

Crimson Firescale – A Tier

A fish that shoots rockets. Strong fire damage and works well for elemental builds, especially for the Crown Prince.

Dragon Chaser – C Tier

Low raw DPS, but marking enemies allows for auto-aim tracking. Can be effective in specific scenarios but struggles against some enemies.

Lightning Blast – A Tier

High lightning damage with a 69% shock chance per second. Works wonders when paired with corrosion.

Rainbow Arch – C Tier

A hybrid between a sniper and a rifle, but doesn’t receive sniper bonuses. High base damage but lacks critical synergy.

---

Submachine Guns (High Fire Rate, Green Ammo, Extra Speed Buffs)

Angelic Aura – A Tier

Highest SMG fire rate in the game, great base damage, but requires good handling due to stability issues.

Concealed Ammo – C Tier

A weapon that you can throw for an explosion. Takes a lot of ammo and requires the right inscriptions to shine.

Demon Lore – S Tier

Absolutely broken—each crit increases damage, stacking infinitely if you never reload. Hard to unlock but worth it.

Dual Fang – B Tier

Applies two elemental effects at once, making it insanely good for elemental builds, but less impactful otherwise.

Skull Pill – A Tier

An SMG with exceptional accuracy, high crit multiplier, and a two-shot mode that can shred enemies.

Star of Aurora – D Tier

Stable and accurate, but its auto-reload mechanic is frustrating, and it lacks damage output compared to other SMGs.

---

Pistols (Increased Speed and Projectile Speed, Blue Ammo)

Aura of Venom – A Tier

Eats through its magazine quickly but shines with infinite ammo builds. High crits and great elemental chance.

Foundry – F Tier

Your starter weapon. Enough said.

Glimmering – D Tier

Weak explosions and low fire chance make this pistol underwhelming, even with inscriptions.

Icy Spear – S Tier

High piercing damage, AoE damage, and a recall feature that guarantees crits. Easily one of the strongest weapons.

Prism – B Tier

Ricochets, high crit rate, and good damage. Works well with Ao Bai for bouncing chaos.

Scorching Rounds – B Tier

Decent explosion damage and solid burning effects, though not the highest DPS.

Thunder – C Tier

A pseudo-shotgun pistol with high spread. Needs good inscriptions to perform well.

Talisman – D Tier

Can switch between elements but lacks the fire rate, crit chance, or raw damage to justify its use.

Thunderstorm – C Tier

Devastates shields but falls flat against bosses and elites.

---

Shotguns (More Projectiles, 2x Crit Multiplier, Blue Ammo)

Argus – B Tier

Horizontal spread, solid knockback, and decent range.

Hell – C Tier

High spread, slow fire rate, and slow reload. Strong against groups but weak for single-target DPS.

Illusion – S Tier

An automatic shotgun that speeds up the longer you shoot. Insane damage when built correctly.

Porcupine – C Tier

Split shots make its damage inconsistent. Only useful for elemental builds.

Pupil – S Tier

Charged shotgun with insane accuracy and high lightning damage. One of the most overpowered weapons.

Wild Hunt – C Tier

Has the highest damage potential in the game, but small magazine size and long reload time hold it back.

---

Snipers (High Crit Multiplier, Yellow Ammo)

Bloody Drill – B Tier

Slow fire rate but causes bleeding, which stacks infinitely against bosses.

Double Caliber – A Tier

Shoots two bullets and refunds ammo on crits. High DPS potential.

Golden Bow – A Tier

Strong charge-based sniper with no reload requirement. Versatile and effective.

Strike Wing – S Tier

Sniper with homing arrows that create multi-kills. Exceptional for single-target fights.

Woodpecker – A Tier

Insane fire rate for a sniper, making it devastating with crit-based builds.

---

Launchers (Fast Reloads, Explosions Can’t Crit, Yellow Ammo Reduces Speed)

Bone Dragon – B Tier

Pulls enemies in before exploding, great for crowd control but annoying in multiplayer.

Deafening Mortar – S Tier

Creates 13 explosions in an area, capable of some of the highest damage output in the game.

Justice – B Tier

Launches grenades that you can manually detonate. Fun and effective.

Tiger Cannon – C Tier

Giant explosions but slow reload makes it hard to use consistently.

Final Thoughts

This list provides a general ranking of each weapon based on overall utility, but individual performance may vary based on your character, scrolls, and inscriptions. Even a C-tier weapon can become S-tier with the right setup. Gunfire Rebornis all about synergy—so experiment, find what works for you, and most importantly, have fun!

Happy hunting!
