Types

Primary Weapon

Choose from any available Assault Rifle, SMG, Shotgun, LMG, Marksman Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Handgun, or Launcher.

Melee Weapon

Either sharp or blunt.

Fists

Useable until you find a second weapon in the match.

In-Game Access

In addition to choosing a Primary and Melee Weapon before the game begins, weapons can also be:

  • Purchased with Essence at Wall Buys (with a higher rarity than your loadout weapon) or in Mystery Boxes (randomized, with a higher rarity).
  • Dropped and swapped between teammates.
  • Improved with damage-increasing rarity powers, found at Arsenal machines.
  • Improved with different Ammo Mods, found at Arsenal machines.
  • Improved significantly with damage, sometimes hidden effects, and additional ammunition reserves, at the Pack-a-Punch machine.
  • Using the Zombie Build system: Found in a Wall Buy or Mystery Box as one of your own personal weapon builds, provided you’ve saved the custom build and assigned it to be accessible at a Wall Buy or Mystery Box, in the Loadout Menu before a match. This will even implement the camo, charm, and stickers you’ve applied to your Zombie Build weapon!
