1. Warhammer 40k: Shotgun

The shotgun remains pretty much unchanged no matter how much time passes. It deals an enormous amount of damage.

The concept is as simple as ever. Point, shoot, pump, and shoot again. It’s devastating against enemies at close range. Enemies that are softer will down easier than others, but they will still take massive damage.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold its weight as well, and can quickly be overshadowed by other weapons. If all you have to offer is close-range damage, then maybe you are better off with something else.

2. Warhammer 40k: Heavy Bolter

The Heavy Bolter is like a normal Bolter, but think bigger, louder, heavier, and scarier. It is the perfect weapon when you feel like the aim is optional.

It has a heavy fire rate and an equally heavy recoil. It goes through ammo like crazy, and it isn’t as versatile as the typical Boltgun. Hold down the trigger and destroy the enemy’s health, other than that though it falls somewhat short.

3. Warhammer 40k: Plasma Gun

Unfortunately, unlike the lore, the plasma gun isn’t as powerful as in the game. The Plasma Gun sends balls of searing plasma at your enemies.

These plasma balls travel somewhat slowly compared to other projectiles. That accompanied by the slow fire rate and smaller magazine, make it a good weapon against medium-armored enemies, and nothing else.

4. Warhammer 40k: Vengeance Launcher

This is the game’s approach on a grenade launcher. It launches explosive charges from a revolver-like magazine making it one of the weirder weapons you can get your hands on.

These projectiles attach themselves to the enemies. After a short delay, they explode damaging even the enemies surrounding them. You can use it against small, agile, or grouped enemies, but it’s hard to handle.

The time it takes for the explosive charges to go off could be the moments between survival, and death.

5. Warhammer 40k: Volkite Caliver

The Volkite Caliver sends a short beam of laser energy at your target. An energy weapon that is deadly against unarmored targets, but you have to consistently aim at the target to concentrate the beam and make sure it all hits.

It has a high killing power, but the fact that you have to consistently aim at enemies makes it hard to use in hectic situations.

6. Warhammer 40k: Melta Gun

The Meltagun is a classic weapon in the Warhammer 40k universe, beloved for its ability to melt through most barriers and armor.

What makes this weapon so worthwhile, and fun to use is its unique capability to penetrate surfaces, allowing players to reach enemies hidden behind a cover or barricade.

However, this gun’s low ammo capacity and limited range, as well as having to reload frequently in the thick of battle puts players in dangerous situations.

7. Warhammer 40k: Chainsword

The Chainsword is a reliable and popular weapon. It is easily attainable and shreds through everything.

When using it, players can lock onto enemies, slowing the game for a period before leaping onto them and ripping through them. It is a reliable and effective weapon that players will use throughout the game.

It will finish off weaker foes, but it is limited in what it can achieve without the use of your other weapons.

8. Warhammer 40k: Grav-Cannon

The Grav-Cannon, or Graviton Cannon, creates a powerful gravity field wherever the projectile lands, tearing apart enemies the more mass they have.

This is the perfect fit against the heaviest armored enemies you run into. The only shortcoming of the Grav-Cannon depletes its ammo very quickly, making it a weapon players should use sparingly, and saving it for emergencies or notably strong opponents.

9. Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

For a game called Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, you would only hope the named weapon was the best one out there. The Boltgun does not disappoint and at its base it is devastating, and it becomes more deadly when loaded with special ammo.

There are three types of special ammo:

  • Dragon Fire Rounds
  • Kraken Rounds
  • Vengeance Rounds

This enhanced ammunition makes the Boltgun; which is an already deadly weapon with an impressive capacity, and a good fire rate into something that will destroy anything that stands in your way.
