FBC: Firebreak best weapons tier list

Puzzling out the best weapons in FBC: Firebreak may require a bit of time, but with just six weapons available at launch, the task is less daunting than it seems. Some weapons clearly stand out in terms of strength, making it easier to identify the most effective choices for taking down the Hiss. To assist players, a tier list has been compiled to highlight the best options, along with personal insights on each weapon’s performance and whether they earn a thumbs up or down.

It’s important to clarify that the starting weapons are not tied to the Crisis Kit selection. Players can choose any of the three initial weapons—Revolver, Submachine Gun, or Double-Barrel Shotgun—from the loadout menu, independent of their kit. To expand your arsenal, players must collect samples by completing jobs and gathering documents, which can then be unlocked in the requisition menu.

Additionally, players have the opportunity to upgrade their weapons by unlocking higher-tier versions through the requisition pages. Interestingly, many un-upgraded weapons still perform exceptionally well, making them viable options for players.

Machine Gun

  • Unlock: Page 4

The Machine Gun is a straightforward choice, particularly effective in a game that rewards headshots. Its substantial ammo capacity and reliable damage output make it a formidable weapon against the relentless Hiss. While it may lack the precision of the Revolver or the Bolt-Action Rifle, its consistent firing capability ensures that even the toughest enemies can be taken down swiftly with a focus on headshots.

Pump-Action Shotgun

  • Unlock: Page 5

Versatile and effective, the Pump-Action Shotgun excels in various combat scenarios. Its projectile spread is particularly useful for taking down groups of Hiss, while its high damage output allows for effective headshot targeting against stronger foes. The shotgun’s ability to reload one shell at a time minimizes downtime, making it a reliable choice in fast-paced encounters.

Revolver

  • Unlock: Straightaway

The Revolver stands out as a favorite among starter weapons, offering impressive stopping power, especially when aiming for headshots. A few well-placed shots can eliminate heavy enemies, while hip-firing is often sufficient to dispatch smaller Hiss. However, its limited ammo reserve requires players to remain vigilant and replenish their stock regularly.

Submachine Gun

  • Unlock: Straightaway

As the second-best starter weapon, the Submachine Gun provides a solid alternative for those who may struggle with headshots. With a higher ammo capacity, it allows players to engage multiple basic Hiss enemies effectively. While it may not perform as well against heavier foes, its consistent damage output can still wear them down over time.

Double-Barrel Shotgun

  • Unlock: Straightaway

While the Double-Barrel Shotgun delivers commendable damage, its limitation of only two shots before needing a reload can be a significant drawback in a game filled with swarming enemies. Strategic positioning can help maximize its effectiveness, but players may find more success with a weapon that offers greater consistency.

<h2 class="article-bodysection” id=”section-c-tier”>C-tier

Bolt-Action Rifle

  • Unlock: Page 1

In a close-quarters environment, the Bolt-Action Rifle proves to be a less-than-ideal choice. Its slow reload time and focus on precision shots can leave players vulnerable to swarming Hiss. While it may be suitable for coordinated team play, the Revolver’s ability to deliver significant headshot damage without sacrificing close-range combat makes it a far more practical option.
