Choosing the right weapon is, literally, a matter of life and death in Survivor.io. While this Tier List (like any other) has some subjectiveness to it, it is clear about the weapon capabilities and where it shines best. At the end it’s your decision too – the weapon may be Tiered S but if you are uncomfortable or don’t like using it, you are better off with another one.
This guide is here to help you find the Best Weapon to Use.
Best Weapons to Use in Survivor.io
S Tier List
The Lightchaser is at the top of our list. Not only it has more attack by default than other weapons, at Legendary level it unlocks a skill that leaves behind a blade-array every 10 attacks. This weapon is commonly used to reach the end chapters of the game so there’s not much to discuss here, its power can’t be denied.
The Kunai’s legendary skill makes it split after hitting an enemy, which paired with the fact that you have an extra Kunai for every star makes it awesome. It has good damage and auto-aim, making it easy to use as well and one of the top choices.
The Bat’s legendary skill will make its swing become circular, covering all 360° around you to destroy your enemies while inflicting bleed and knockback. It’s ideal for vertical maps, but it’s a bit harder to use against bosses than it is against mobs.
A Tier List
The Revolver causes huge amounts of damage and generates a small explosion when it hits an enemy, making it S-Tier for a lot of players. However, its range is limited and it has no auto-aim, making its damage output heavily dependent on the player. In the right hands, you can consider it to be S-Tier.
B Tier List
The Shotgun is the first weapon we’ll look at. A red Shotgun unlocks a skill that makes its bullets pierce all enemies, making it great at clearing the mobs that swarm around you as your projectiles go right through them, not only hitting the frontmost wave but the ones behind. If you have good aim it’s also a fantastic boss killer, one of the best weapons to use to farm kills in vertical chapters.
The Katana’s legendary skill makes it heal 3% HP when the enemy is hit. That sounds absolutely incredible in paper, as in a game like Survivor.io you’re constantly surrounded by hundreds of enemies, so getting a strike with the katana on an enemy wave would just fill your HP up to max again, right?
We’re sorry to say that’s wrong. The way it works is that the healing triggers once – you can hit one enemy or a hundred and you’ll only heal 3%. Because of this the katana can be considered the worst weapon (among Legendary ones), as the amount of heal isn’t enough to survive bosses or mobs.
