It’s always a struggle when playing Dead Rails. What to take, and what to leave behind? What should you spend your money on? What’s going to make your life easier? A good weapon is essential to your survival on your trip to Mexico, and our Dead Rails tier list sets out to rank the different weapons in terms of power.
You can play Dead Rails now over on Roblox. If you want some help getting started, perhaps take a look at our guide on how to play Dead Rails.
Dead Rails Tier List
Our list starts with the most powerful weapons in the game at the top, and goes down to the less impressive ones at the bottom.
S Tier
The most devastating weapons, these can easily take on werewolves, or groups of armed outlaws without much problem. Some may be expensive to get, or otherwise hard to come by. One you already have.
- Rifle
- The Train (We feel like this counts and we’re keeping it in.)
- Holy Water
A Tier
Only second to S Tier, these are still impressive. They might be a little more specialized, but still powerful, or they might have a little less kick that S Tier. They’re still a great thing to have, though.
- Turret
- Shotgun
- Vampire Knife
- Crucifix
B Tier
Good but nothing all that special. These are solid choices that should help you make your way through the game, though it never hurts to look for an upgrade if the chance comes along.
C Tier
Okay, but could be better. These are a bit limited and you might wind up taking some damage while using one of these in combat, so be careful. These are good backup but you should find something else.
- Pickaxe
- Axe
- Shovel
- Hammer
- Tomahawk
D Tier
I’m not sure this even qualifies as a weapon.
