Each character has four weapon choices in Yet Another Zombie Survivors but not all of them are equally good. Also, Tier 3 weapons aren’t necessarily better than the Tier 2 ones.
For instance, for characters like the Engineer, it’s better to use the Tier 2 Tesla weapon, than the Tier 3 Blaster or Laser.
In this guide, I will list the five best weapons in Yet Another Zombie Survivors to help you last longer in Endless Mode and even beat Hardcore.
Combine this with our guide on the best upgrades in YAZS and you’ll have the most optimal build.
Best Weapons in Yet Another Zombie Survivors
Without further delay, here are the five best weapons in Yet Another Zombie Survivors:
5. Multishot Bow (Huntress)
The Huntress’ bow features the highest damage in the game and the Multishot Bow allows you to fire multiple arrows at once.
While the Frost and Explosive upgrades aren’t worth it, the Multishot Bow is a great weapon overall, especially with some fire rate upgrades.
4. Minigun (Tank)
The Minigun is one of the two Tier 3 weapons for the Tank and shines due to its rapid rate of fire.
Combined with abilities that leave enemies on low HP like the Tank’s Sawblades or the Engineer’s Energy Shield, you’ll be able to clear waves of enemies in no time.
With faster reload speed, damage, and fire rate upgrades, this weapon can deal amazing damage.
3. Tesla (Engineer)
The Tesla is the best Tier 2 weapon in YAZS since it can deal high and continuous AoE damage.
If you’re using the Engineer, I recommend upgrading to the Tesla as soon as possible and you’ll understand why it’s so good. However, you should avoid upgrading to the Laser or Blaster, as they are less useful compared to the Tesla.
2. Rocket Launcher (Tank)
The Rocket Launcher is the best AoE weapon in YAZS. It’s a Tier 3 weapon for the Tank and, as its name suggests, it shoots multiple rockets that explode on impact.
These are amazing for clearing hordes of enemies and even taking down bosses as they deal a lot of damage. With an already high fire rate, focus on reload speed upgrades and you’ll be able to nuke everything in the map.
1. Assault Rifle (SWAT)
The best weapon in Yet Another Zombie Survivors is the Assault Rifle as it’s a simple, yet extremely effective firearm.
It has high damage, great accuracy, a quick rate of fire, and can hit enemies from a fairly long range.
While it doesn’t do AoE damage, it has everything else and if combined with an AoE damage weapon like the Rocket Launcher, you’ll have the best weapon combo in the game.
Wrapping up
To summarize, these are the best weapons in YAZS. This list includes both Tier 2 and Tier 3 weapons. Using these in your runs will help you take down enemy hordes easily and even melt the HP of bosses.
Overall, the best weapon in the game is the Assault Rifle, with the Rocket Launcher and the Tesla following closely after.
