Weapons are the offensive Item type available in The Infinite Black.

Finding a good weapon is necessary for killing enemies, however it must be balanced with defense. You can't attack anything when you're dead!

Try to find a good balance between your weapon, armor and storage for the best results. If you're having trouble hunting, it might be because you've not picked the best gear setup!

Damage

  • Weapons deal damage to your enemy!
  • Damage output is determined by Rank (size) and Rarity
  • The larger and more rare a weapon is, the more damage it deals.

All weapons of the same rank do the same amount of base Damage Per Second (DPS) damage per second regardless of their speed and rarity.

Rarity

Rarity greatly affects the weapon's stats and abilities, but not the base damage.

Picking a Weapon

Weapon choice boils down to personal preference and availability. However, there are some recommendations:

  • Some players prefer large and slow weapons in PvP.
    • This makes it easier to kill an enemy before they have a chance to heal.
    • If you don't kill them, however, it will be a while before you shoot again!
  • Players with Grappling Hook and Tractor Beam Specials prefer faster weapons.
    • This triggers their special abilities more often.
  • High-level players get more benefits from faster weapons due to Experience and Level Bonus
  • Faster weapons are more efficient for killing weaker NPCs

There are currently 72 weapons in The Infinite Black.

  • Each NPC faction has 18 weapons
  • Weapons have 3-20 second attack speeds.
  • There is a wide variety of weapons available, with different secondary stats and abilities.
  • Each faction has its own themes.
