Dead Rails Weapons Tier List

Sadly, you will not be able to find all of these weapons in every round of you start, so making good use of the starting weapons is crucial if you want to make it far. The Revolver + Ammo combo at the beginning is a tried and proven method, but saving money for better weapons is also a viable strategy. Sadly, you cannot buy all weapons, like the Vampire Knife, and you have to find them in the wasteland.

  • Vampire Knife: Low chance of spawning in a big city in the wasteland.
  • Mauser C96: Spawns in buildings in the wasteland.
  • Maxim Machine Gun: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $125. Also spawns in buildings.
  • Sawed-Off Shotgun: Chance to spawn in buildings in the wasteland. You can also but it with Robux.
  • Rifle: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $75. Also spawns in buildings.
