The Sinking City 2 Best Weapons Tier List
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. |
