With a rampant zombie apocalypse, alongside various monsters and bandits, arming yourself is crucial for safety. Thankfully, the game offers a diverse array of weaponry, each with unique attributes and effectiveness. If you’re unsure which weapons to prioritize, we’ve crafted a comprehensive Dead Rails weapons tier list to guide your selection.

Dead Rails features a total of 20 distinct weapons available for purchase at shops, scavenged throughout the desolate landscapes, or obtained via game passes. Additionally, specific classes in Dead Rails come equipped with unique weapons at the start.

These weapons can be categorized into tiers based on their effectiveness. The top tier, S-Tier, houses the most potent weapons. As we move down the list, tier levels decrease, culminating in the D-Tier, which contains the least effective weapons that offer minimal damage.

S-Tier Weapons

The S-Tier comprises the finest weapons available in Dead Rails. This elite group includes the Electrocutioner Gun, which delivers a staggering damage of 100, capable of taking down any monster instantly, except for the formidable Nikola Tesla boss. Here are the standout weapons from the S-Tier:

Weapon Name Damage Description Cost Electrocutioner Gun 100 Ammo: 20Fire Rate: 1 secReload using Lightning strikes Found After Clearing the Tesla Lab Rifle 60/120 Ammo: 6Fire Rate: 0.5 secLong Range Damage 75 Shotgun 24×5/40×5 Ammo: 6Fire Rate: 0.5 secShort Range Damage 50

Among these top-tier weapons, both the Rifle and Shotgun are excellent options for dispatching the undead, whether you’re engaging at a distance or up close—whichever approach you prefer.

A-Tier Weapons

The A-Tier features weapons that inflict impressive damage but fall short compared to their S-Tier counterparts. Some in this category are rarer to encounter during gameplay. Notably, several A-Tier guns can be sold for significant amounts, allowing you to acquire other necessary resources. Below are the noteworthy A-Tier weapons:

Weapon Name Damage Description Cost Bolt-Action Rifle 55/137.5 Ammo: 5Fire Rate: 0.5 secLong Range Damage Can’t be Bought. Found at Fort Constitution Mauser C96 40/60 Ammo: 10Fire Rate: 0.3-0.5 secNo Recoil 148 RobuxFound better in Outlaws Camp Molotov 50/100 The Arsonist Class spawns with 4 Molotovs 35 Jade Sword 25 50% chance to reanimate enemies Found at Sterling MinesCan’t be bought Vampire Knife 20 Life Steal PassiveThe Vampire Class spawns with a Vampire Knife Can’t be boughtFound at Castle

For trading purposes, the Jade Sword sells for 250 cash, while the Vampire Knife can be exchanged for 100 cash after raiding the Castle, making them highly profitable items.

B-Tier Weapons

Weapons classified in the B-Tier offer average performance. While some hold utility, others exhibit limitations that hinder their effectiveness, particularly against distant threats. As you progress, it’s advisable to aim for superior gear. Below are the B-Tier weapons:

Weapon Name Damage Description Cost Navy Revolver 50/80 Ammo: 6Fire Rate: 0.5 secBetter damage output 40 Revolver 35/50 Ammo: 6Fire Rate: 0.5 sec 35 Sawed-Off Shotgun 24×5/40×5 Ammo: 3Shorter range than a regular shotgun 148 Robux Maxim Turret 30/45 Ammo: 100Fire Rate: 0.2 secLong Range 125 Dynamite 300-500 Causes massive AoE damage when ignited 25 Tomahawk 25 Highest damage among melee weapons 30

A personal favorite from this tier is the Maxim Turret. It’s exceptionally effective for clearing towns and fending off monsters that pursue your train during nighttime.

C-Tier Weapons

The C-Tier contains a selection of less-common, expensive items, in addition to the standard melee Cavalry sword. Notably, the Holy Water and Crucifix are priced at $75 and $45, respectively. However, they are single-use weapons, making them less ideal for extended engagements. Here’s a look at the C-Tier weapons:

Weapon Name Damage Description Cost Holy Water 100-400 Effective against groups of enemiesInflicts multiple lightning strikes 45Found at Church Cannon 125 Ammo: 12Delivers substantial AoE damage Can’t be boughtFound at Fort Constitution Crucifix Infinite Ideal for groups for an instant kill 75Found at Church Cavalry Sword 25 Slightly improved melee weapon 30

The Cannon is in this tier due to its limited 12 cannon ball ammunition and the challenges in obtaining it. However, many players argue that the Holy Water merits placement in A-Tier due to its power against groups of enemies.

D-Tier Weapons

Lastly, we have the D-Tier, which consists of the most rudimentary weapons in Dead Rails. Generally, most classes start their journey with these basic tools. The Shovel and Pickaxe deal the same damage; however, the pickaxe is preferred for efficiently mining ores. Here’s a concise look at the D-Tier weaponry:

Weapon Name Damage Description Cost Pickaxe 20 Best for mining oresStuns enemies 20 Shovel 20 Basic weapon for all classesStuns enemies 20

That concludes our detailed Dead Rails weapons tier list. We hope this guide helps clarify which weapons to choose and aim for during your adventure. What is your go-to weapon from the list? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
