All Abyssus guns and weapons tier list

Recently-released title Abyssus throws plenty of guns and weapons at you, so it's essential to understand which ones rock and which fall flat.

Like every good shooter on the market, Abyssus has many options. Being a Roguelite, failure is inevitable. However, the effectiveness of your gun/weapon would determine how successful your runs in general are and how quickly you can reach the endgame.

S-tier

Weapon Reason
Tesla Gun This is by far the best weapon in the current build. The spark orbs are perfect for clearing multiple enemies in quick time. While the gun is slightly weak against single targets with bigger pools of health, the overall utility makes it my favorite choice in the game.
Brine Revolver While the Brine Revolver can be considered in the A-tier, it deals an absurd amount of damage against single enemies. This makes it pretty much one of the best options against bosses, and you'll need to kill them as much as you can. Hence, I have included it in the S-tier.
Plasma Launcher The Plasma Launcher is one of the best options available when it comes to AOE damage. On top of that, you can improve its fire rate and damage with the help of suitable amulets, making it a great weapon to invest into.

A-tier

Weapon Reason
Combat Bow The Combat Bow fits very well with the turrets, but I don't like the base version. Once you roll in the upgrades and improve the firing rate, the Combat Bow becomes better, but it's still an A-tier choice in the current build.
Fish Gun A really funny weapon in my books, but extremely effective when it comes to clearing enemies. Upgrades improve its base damage, while the explosion stacks are always useful.
Engine Rifle This gun doesn't excel in one particular area, but it's the perfect jack of all trades. This is also a good choice for beginners who are just getting started in Abyssus, so that's another point to keep in mind.

B-tier

Weapon Reason
Plasma Cannon Decent weapon that sadly has better alternatives in the current meta. It can still do damage in the hands of players who know how to use it properly.
Shotgun I find it hard to yield a weapon that requires a lot of knowledge to master positioning. Good option for short-range damage, but nothing much to talk about elsewhere.
Burst Machine Gun I like its general mechanics, but it's better to avoid it against enemies with more health.

C-tier

Our last tier has one honorable mention: the pistol. There's not much to it apart from being a good choice for beginners.
