So I’ve been thinking why don’t I do a weapon ranking for all of the weapons in CIU? Some people obviously choose an overrated weapon, while there’s still hidden gems to use! Starting with…
-
Plasma Rifle (SSS) - Tell me you’ve never used this and thought “I’m clearing these waves like nothing!”. This is genuinely the best weapon. It does good damage (especially with BX), paired with accumulator this thing rocks. Its ring is also very useful when an enemy is behind an indestructible barrier
-
Laser Cannon (S) - In my opinion this is second best. Sure it may deal a good amount of damage, but the thing it lacks is spread. It’s extremely good against bosses, but sometimes it just lacks that coverage, so that’s why…
-
Ion Blaster (S) - Even though it deals low damage, in quantity it can do a lot. The spread also helps. It’s best you use a BX with this, since the more projectiles the better it becomes. Plus, it’s not half bad against stationary bosses, unlike moving ones
-
Absolver Beam (S) - Very solid and high damage. The piercing is really helping it a lot, being able to one-shot every chicken in the game. Though, it does suck against bosses a little too much. A bit more useful in multiplayer against bosses though
-
Corn Shotgun (A) - Even though it’s severely lacking in attack speed in lower power, it quickly ramps up the more firepower you have. And it doesn’t do half bad against bosses, it’s above average
-
Lightning Fryer (A) - The chain effect really helps it out in clearing out hordes of chickens. It’s damage is also consistent, and it can even reach enemies that are inside indestructible barriers
-
Photon Swarm (B) - While you may think this weapon is for area control, then it isn’t. The more spread out enemies you have the harder it is to kill a specific one you want. That’s why it’s more of a single target damage dealer in disguise
-
Boron Railgun (B) - (Kind of appropriate this gets a B) While yes, it is very good against bosses, but keeping that constant heat high can sometimes mess you up, and you can accidentally overheat and now you have to build up heat again. A bit worse than you might think
-
Utensil Poker (B) - Yes, it has good area control, good against bosses, so what’s the hold up? Well it overheats too fast now. With accumulator you can keep it a bit controlled with the heat, but with overdrive it overheats too fast. Plus, sometimes you want to deal single target damage
-
Vulcan Chaingun (C) - It’s great for comet chases and supernovas yeah, but it lacks spread, like consistent spread. Yes, heating it up will cause it to spread, but it’s not guaranteed the same projectile will be in the same spot when you shoot again. Overall, mainly used in comet chases and supernovas
-
Hyper gun (C) - It certainly does shoot VERY VERY fast, but the damage is lacking. Sure, in some cases you might want to use it, like on a wave with weak chickens or a boss, but most of the times you won’t use it
-
Positron Stream (C) - It’s a bit overrated in my opinion. It’s really only useful in races and such, and sure it’s great at dealing damage, but in multiplayer it can suck. On singleplayer it can dominate
-
Neutron Gun (D) - The slow moving projectiles don’t help in when you want to kill a fast moving enemy. Even though it’s great for bosses, anywhere else it doesn’t really shine. Mostly used in Boss Rushes, or if you need to take it for extra points in competitive missions
-
Riddler (Diddy tier) - Nah, dude this literally can be called “Diddler” by the way it just finesses through the smallest of gaps. This one is going on the freaky tier next time
15 Moron Railgun (Moron tier) - It was kinda obvious this weapon would have it’s own special tier
FAVORITES TIER
Plasma Rifle - It just flows well and I really like it. The damage is consistent and high while also having multiple uses. A solid one indeed
Ion Blaster - I love weapons that have a huge spread, like this one! The damage may be low, but it can certainly clear through with time
Vulcan Cahingun - I find myself using it sometimes on just normal waves. I just love how much uniqueness this weapon can have. Spread it out or not, it’s still pretty good in my book
FINAL THOUGHTS
I think I had a very honest ranking. I obviously explained why some weapons don’t appeal to me (Especially Positron Stream) and why I freaking love some of the weapons (Like Plasma Rifle my all-time fav)
This time you can criticize my opinion all you want and why you think I ranked Positron so low, even though I know in reality it outshines
