This Apocalypse Party weapon tier list will go through the best melee and ranged weapons to help you improve your build and win more games.
Overall, the best weapons in Apocalypse Party are Wrath of Hades, M249, and Justice Shotgun.
Let’s go through all the weapons in turn and explain what makes these ones stand out.
Important Note: There are many weapons in the game, and most of them are unlocked by progressing the game. I haven’t had the chance to unlock and test all weapons yet, so I’ll update this tier list as I progress and unlock more items.
S-Tier Weapons in Apocalypse Party (Best in the Game)
S-Tier weapons will help you win games easily with the right builds. In general, I recommend picking those up once you find them unless they really don’t fit your current loadout.
- Wrath of Hades
- M249
- Justice Shotgun
Let’s go through the three top options in turn and showcase what makes them so great.
Wrath of Hades
The best weapon in Apocalypse Party is Wrath of Hades. This double-handed axe can deal amazing damage, has great AoE reach, and with enough attack speed, it’s great both against hordes and bosses.
However, since it’s an Epic weapon, I recommend using the Inquisitor in the early game instead.
M249
The M249 is another great option since it features high damage, great rate-of-fire, long-range, and a large magazine. The only setback is its long reload time, but with the right skills and upgrades, you’ll be able to make the most out of this gun.
Justice Shotgun
Lastly, the Justice Shotgun is an excellent choice if you want a close-quarters ranged weapon. With its AoE damage and upgrades that increase projectile shots, you’ll be able to one-shot hordes of enemies with ease.
A-Tier Weapons
A-Tier options can deal high damage and AoE but are a bit more situational than S-Tier options. Before picking them up, make sure they fit your build.
- Type 56 LMG
- Inquisitor
- Chainsaw
- Red Cliff
- Pink Sweetheart
- Twilight Long Bow
- Crusader Crossbow
- Demon’s Blood
- Akuoumaru
B-Tier Weapons
B-Tier weapons are less effective and either have weaker combos or not enough AoE damage. However, with the right builds, they can definitely be useful.
- Springfield M1A
- M16 Semi-Automatic Rifle
- AWM Sniper Rifle
- Bren LMG
- Winchester Shotgun
- Thompson SMG
- MT Shotgun
- Kitetsu
- Holy Twins
C-Tier Weapons in Apocalypse Party
Lastly, C-Tier weapons are underwhelming at the moment. There’s no reason to choose them over other options, and we hope they’ll get buffed soon.
- Barbarian Flying Blade
- Suppressed Pistol
- MP9 SMG
Wrapping up this Apocalypse Party Weapon Tier List
To summarize this Apocalypse Party weapon tier list, the best weapons in the game are the Wrath of Hades, the M249, and the Justice Shotgun.
Keep in mind that almost every weapon is playable and can be fun in the right build. Due to that, I recommend experimenting with every option before settling on your favorite one.
