Gunfire Rebornis anaddicting roguelite first-person shooterwith colorful, cartoonish graphics and fast-paced action. As with nearly every FPS centered around arcade-like action,Gunfire Rebornhas a huge arsenal of weapons with which to play. There are forty-eight weapons in this game; each with its own special properties and possible inscriptions.

Inscriptions are essentially additional abilities a weapon can have.Another factor to consider when deciding on a weaponis if it has, or can have, elemental properties - fire, lightning, and corrosion. These elements each have different effects, and can also be combined; for example, lightning and corrosion damage combine to inflict miasma damage. This list isn’t ranked, but the stronger weapons will be towards the bottom.
Updated June 10, 2025 by Jeff Drake:Every weapon in Gunfire Reborn has its good points. That being stated, not all weapons in this game are equal. Theplaystyle of individual playersalso comes into account when discussing the best weapons in a game, or in this case Gunfire Reborn.
That is what’s great about this game though - every playstyle has an accompanying weapon that helps level the playing field against other playstyles. This update has increased the number of weapons on this list by five, bringing the total to 25.
25Double Caliber
This is arguably the best sniper rifle in the game; though, many claim the Woodpecker is the best. What sets this sniper rifle apart is that itfires two projectiles with every pull of the trigger. The projectiles rotate around each other as they fly toward the target. If both projectiles score a critical hit, two rounds of ammo are added to the magazine.
This weapon can be fitted with a scope, but it’s arguably better without one. Double Caliber is accurate enough at long range that a scope isn’t warranted, and at medium-to-short range looking through a scope actually begins to hinder accuracy. The exclusive inscription for Double Caliber ensures a 150% critical hit for shots following one in which both projectiles hit their target.
24Justice
Launchers are appealing to many players who simplylook at the stat-lineand see the damage without also looking at the rate of fire. This weapondelivers a considerable amount of damage per shot, but it also takes two seconds to reload. Justice fires grenades that will explode after a five-second delay, or if the player manually detonates them.
Justice has two exclusive inscriptions; one increases Lucky Shot chance, and the other creates a damaging zone filled with lava where the grenades land. The lava deals 60% weapon damage per second for three and a half seconds.
23Fire Dragon
This game isn’t all about rifles and submachine guns. In fact, some of the best weapons are unconventional arms. Case-in-point is the Fire Dragon. This weapon is avery efficient flamethrower. The flames emitted by this weaponbypass physical armor, and the wide spread of flames permits players to take down groups of enemies rapidly.
The best inscription for Fire Dragon is the exclusive one that increases the chance to cause burning. This weapon depletes ammo incredibly fast - making inscriptions that improve magazine size another smart choice.
22Dual Fang
Players who main a submachine gun will want to give this chameleon-looking gun a try. This weapon alternates between corrosion and fire damage with each shot. Thisallows for a combustion effect, which is something rare for a weapon. The damage isn’t particularly good per individual shot, but the high rate of fire and elemental effects ensure this weapon can keep up with most of the other weapons mentioned.

Another great aspect of Dual Fang is the low recoil, which helps maintain accuracy. The inscription that increases magazine size and decreases reload time will mitigate the charge effect when the weapon is fired. Dual Fang has an exclusive inscription that increases the chance for an elemental effect and an +4% increase to base damage per second (until the trigger is released).
21Cavalry
Cavalry is a weapon for players that prefer to keep their distance from the enemy, and have played long enough to maintain a reasonably high rate of accuracy when firing at medium to long range. This weapon can be fired in either a three-shot burst or full auto.
One benefit of this weapon is thatevery third shot is a guaranteed critical hit; however, this weapon has significant recoil. The recoil makes hitting with the third shot a little tricky - at least at long range. attempt to get this weapon with the (exclusive) inscription that increases critical damage and guarantees critical hits for a set amount of time if all three shots score a critical hit.
20Angelic Aura
Players wanting a rapid-fire weapon should certainly give Angelic Aura a try. This weapon has thehighest rate of fire, and the highest damage per shot, among the submachine guns inGunfire Reborn. This is both good and bad. Angelic Aura fires so quickly that the magazine empties in about one second.
Over time this weapon’s recoil has been lessened, which greatly increases accuracy. Players will want the inscription that increases magazine size and reduces reload time. Inscriptions that improve stability are also preferable; this will help the player ensure more rounds hit an enemy’s weak spot.
19Deafening Mortar
The Deafening Mortar is a grenade launcher with some interesting, and useful, properties. When using the primary firing capabilities of this weapon the entire magazine will be emptied. Thissends out a barrage of explosive shellsthat detonate in a pattern. This large area of effect combined with the weapon’s superb damage can clear an area of enemies in seconds.
Thespecial weapon skill allows the player to charge the weapon; the longer the weapon is charged before firing, the higher the damage. At maximum charge, this weapon deals an additional 250% more damage than what is listed above. The charge shot also assists in aiming by showing the landing zone of the projectile. This is easily one of the best weapons inGunfire Reborn.
18Icy Spear
Despite being a spear, this is actually a distance weapon, hence its classification as a pistol. This Icy Spear fires an ice spike that pierces enemies. Thesespikes return to the spear after hitting a solid surfaceor after traveling to the maximum range.
The return vector of these spikes is to wherever the player is looking. This makes the Icy Spear an excellent weapon to use when confronted with multiple, scattered, enemies. After hitting one enemy on their return trip every subsequent enemy hit will suffer a critical hit (3.5x damage). Combine this weapon with theplayable characterAo Bai for ridiculous amounts of damage.
17Sunder
Sunder appears like one of the game’s weaker weapons if one just goes by the weapon’s stat line - 65 damage per shot isn’t that high, and a magazine capacity of five seems prohibitively small. This might causebeginning playersto overlook this fantastic weapon. Sunder’s special ability counters both of these negatives.

When this weapon is fired theprojectiles begin duplicating themselves while en route to the target; to a maximum of nine projectiles. The projectiles expand horizontally, making them unlikely to strike one target. This ability makes Sunder an excellent weapon for crowd control purposes. Inscriptions that increase damage are the most useful.
16Shrieker
The Shrieker does a lot of damage. There are two launchers that have higher base damage, but the Shrieker has a special ability that makes it one of the two best launchers inGunfire Reborn. If a weak spot is hit, the explosion cancause a critical hit to all enemies in the blast radius. This can deliver an overwhelming amount of damage to each member of a group of enemies.
There are a couple of unique inscriptions for the Shrieker; however, the one tokeep on the lookoutfor is the one that guarantees a critical hit if a weak spot is hit. Combine this with the AoE Double Projectile inscription to give each shot the potential for quadruple damage.
