The Sinking City 2 Best Weapons Tier List

Last updated: 2026-08-19

Calvin carries a deliberately small arsenal - every weapon stays useful all game because ammo is crafted from scavenged resources, not found. Ranked by how far each one carries you.

S Tier

Name Role Why
Shotgun Close range The panic button. Staggers everything that gets close and one-shots weaker Drowned at point-blank. Shells are the most expensive ammo to craft - save them for Slither-class threats.

A Tier

Name Role Why
Pistol All-rounder Your bread-and-butter sidearm from the opening hours. Cheap ammo, decent accuracy at range - aim for weak points to conserve rounds.
Submachine Gun Crowd control Chews through grouped enemies but burns crafted ammo fast. Best held in reserve for swarm encounters rather than everyday fights.
