Fieldguide
Quick reference
Compare weapons by attack role and complete firing cycle. Automatic guns need reload coverage; Crossbow needs repeatable on-hit effects; persistent fire needs enemies to remain in its path.
- Triggered effects
- Crossbow and Throwing Knife have activation mechanics.
- Persistent fire
- Flamethrower rewards enemies crossing covered ground.
- Melee contact
- Grinder builds bonuses through sustained hits.
What to do
- Match the attack role to the current objective.
- Inspect the equipped weapon’s final support and reload tooltip.
- For a craft, compare the output with the ingredients it consumes.
Useful equipment and guides
| Weapon | Role | Required checks |
|---|---|---|
| Pistol | Compact early ranged attack | Damage support and reload coverage. |
| SMG | Frequent ranged hits | Space for the 2 × 2 gun and its supports. |
| AK-47 | Automatic ranged option | Army Footlocker unlock, selector coverage and reload. |
| Minigun | Long firing cycle | Reload support, movement and the crafting transition. |
| Crossbow | Repeat on-hit effects on lodged bolts | Both an on-hit effect and an activation route. |
| Flamethrower | Persistent fire along enemy approaches | Enemy time in the flames and an exit beyond the burning ground. |
| Mega Shotgun | Heavy close-range pellet attack | Reload and enough room to disengage. |
| Grinder | Sustained melee contact and Bleed | Contact uptime without losing the escape route. |
| Throwing Knife | Timed and externally triggered attack | Triggerable selectors and chain conditions. |
Ranged support
Bicycle Pump increases marked damage and attack size. Yo-Yo reduces reload according to distance. Battery adds chance-based lightning on hits, while Rubber Ball changes ranged bounce. Hover the equipped gun to check each contribution after changing its position.
Crafting transitions
The crafting guide separates merging from creating a new output. Check the recipe’s quantities and rarities before consuming a supported gun. If Minigun is the target, the dedicated build covers the reload preparation.
Boss and achievement goals
A brief damage peak is different from the round-average DPS required by Mowing the Lawn and Wood Chipper. Protected HQ phases also require their objectives before damage can progress. Use combat achievement help and the HQ route for those goals.
