Not sure which melee weapon, ranged weapon, grenade, turret, or trap to bring? We've got you covered.

Updated August 8, 2024 – Version 3.3.2

Dead Cells has a lot of weapons, which makes it perfect for a tier leaderboard that ranks each weapon. Throughout the game, you’ll come across melee weapons, ranged weapons, traps, turrets, and even grenades, each with different effects like damage over time or freezing an enemy in place. It can feel a bit overwhelming, though, as they’re often slow or difficult to unlock and discover.

Here's where a Dead Cells Weapon Tier List comes into play. While we haven’t gone into detail about most of the weapons here, we wanted to give you a quick overview of the best, brightest, and (of course) most destructive tools in your arsenal to help you survive in this world.

What weapons should you unlock in Dead Cells?

That's a tough question, isn't it? You only have a limited number of cells to spend on unlocking blueprints, so choosing the best weapons to unlock can be tricky and overwhelming. We recommend starting with our S-tier weapons and working your way down from there. Most are ranked by base damage numbers, but when a weapon or ability does something special and interesting, we made sure to note it.

Of course, it all comes down to personal preference. Be sure to read the description of each weapon and decide if it would be useful to you. Some weapons have extra effects like applying a damage-over-time effect, like Bleed, or even combining with other weapons to create a one-two punch. It’s all personal.

So without further ado, let’s get to work. We’ve taken the time to break everything down by type for you: melee weapons, ranged weapons, shields (yes, they matter), turrets and traps, and grenades. Each has its place in battle. Each will help you in some way to reach the end of the road.

If you disagree with anything on this list, then be sure to let us know in the comments! After all, this is a matter of opinion, aside from their base damage ranking. Critical damage is also important, so be sure to read the weapon description to take that into account.
