No More Room in Hell 2 Weapons Tier List (1.0 Armageddon)

Fully automatic, one-shot headshots on both normal and red zombies, 20+1 mag, takes suppressor + holo + gun-light. The best gun in the game when you can feed it.

Highest melee damage; a charged headshot can drop a normal zombie in one. Severs limbs on charged swings.

One charged headshot kill plus knockdown on regular hits — the best crowd-control melee in 1.0.

30-round mag, built-in flashlight that never drains batteries, takes rifle suppressor and optics. The most forgiving all-rounder.

7-shell pump action — the close-quarters pick over the DB12. Pairs with the Tight Shot and Overkill skills.

Semi-auto Hunter 85 upgrade: same one-shot headshots on normals with a 20+1 mag.

One-shot headshots on normal zombies from a sidearm slot; 7+1 capacity and suppressor-ready.

Longest melee reach; charged sweeps sever legs and turn packs into crawlers.

One-handed Tier 3 sharp weapon — the faster of the Tier 3 slashing pair, flashlight-compatible, buffed again in the 1.0 balance pass. Official name is Hatchet; EA-era guides say Hand Axe.

The harder-hitting half of the Tier 3 slashing pair — 1.0 raised its damage to 20/25/34. Slower than the Hatchet, better per-swing payoff; both are statistical upgrades over every one-hander below them.

30+1 semi-auto with full attachment support, but needs two headshots on reds — outclassed by the M7A1 late.

Your starting sidearm: one-shot headshots on normals, but 6 rounds and slow reloads. Cannot be suppressed.

Hits hard and takes rifle optics, but the 5-round tube and lever cadence lag behind the .308 options.

Fastest swing speed in the game; great stamina economy, weak crowd control. 1.0 fixed its strong attack finally dealing the intended 18 damage.

Two charged headshots per kill — a clear Small Pipe upgrade you'll find everywhere. T-Junction Pipe and Giant Wrench are functionally the same weapon.

Reanimation-era one-hander that 1.0 buffed twice (faster charged swings, 15 quick damage, 50 charged headshot). A real mid-tier pick now.

1.0 turned the joke weapon into a contender: 20/25/34 base and 35/45/50 headshot damage with two-hander reach.

Semi-auto .22 rifle — light ammo that spawns generously, takes a suppressor, and the 0.9 nerf (35 headshot) means follow-up shots, not one-taps. The quiet-farm gun.

Tube-fed 12-gauge added during EA. Post-0.9 it trades headshot damage for body damage versus the 590A1; community placement is still settling after 1.0.

Severs limbs and cripples zombies into crawlers, but two shells per reload is brutal mid-horde.

Fine bolt-action damage, fully outclassed by the M14 which does the same damage semi-auto.

Two headshots per normal zombie unless you run the pistol-damage skill; listed as M93A3 on some wikis.

The Mallet became the default starting melee at 1.0 (moved to Tier 1 with damage trimmed to match); the Claw Hammer remains a field find. Fine until anything better appears.

The starter-tier blunt pool. 1.0 moved the Small Pipe up to Tier 2 with a headshot buff and gave the Small Wrench faster charged swings — still replace them when you can.

The .22 sidearm took the hardest 0.9 nerf in the game (body damage 25 → 5). Suppressed backup at best — carry it for the ammo economy, not the stopping power.
