This beast is the one to beat them all: A railgun with relatively low damage output but enough ammunition to supply an army, and a fire rate to take one out in seconds. It’s an easy weapon to forget about but with high damage, swipes of this red-tinged blade – with most smaller enemies being one-shot – can be an invaluable asset when you are being swarmed. Unlike the other weapons in this list, you’ll always have the Atropian Blade clipped to your side. With a decent magazine size and swift reload, this is a great one for crowd control – especially when partnered with a Shockstream alt-fire. Tachyomatic CarbineĪ bit of an all-rounder, the Tachyomatic Carbine is a great mix of medium-to-long-range combat. Its weighty shots also feel the true benefit of the DualSense controller’s much-lauded haptic feedback. With decent range – dependent on specs – and a glorious hip-fire, the Spitmaw is a must-have for the earlier hours of the game. This sturdy shotgun is a dream in Returnal’s first world. You’ll want to swap this gun out for something bigger as soon as possible. With a slow auto-fire, easy to miss-time reloads, and lacking damage output, it can be hard to manage enemies if the game throws more than one at you – which is all the damn time – but it does the job. Your first weapon upon every cycle, the SD-M8 sidearm is… OK. So, we have a rundown on the best and worst alien-blasting guns found throughout Returnal, to help you escape the loop. With runs through Atropos easily surpassing a couple of hours, you’ll want to ensure you are properly equipped to take on its hideous light show bosses. (At least you don’t need to reinstall the game again now, though.) In short, Returnal really wants you dead. The newest roguelike on the block, Returnal is proving to be an intense challenge as it tasks you with avoiding a myriad of glowing orbs, bolts, and waves – and death means you have to start it all over again. Best be sure you’re well equipped with our guide to the best and worst weapons in Returnal.
