tools/score_weapons.js ranks the arsenal with a behavior-aware model: effective DPS (bounce/boomerang/AoE/DoT multipliers), real engagement range, spread-based accuracy, and damage pool per ammo load. Tier moves: - Cleaver Cadence 0->1 (440px range + return re-hit outguns the starters) - Bile Blunderbuss 1->2 (134 effDPS + slow + pools is secretly a heavy) - The Cauterizer 2->3 (252 effDPS, highest sustained DPS in the game) - The Tenderizer 2->3 (134 effDPS AoE, outscores Spinal Tap) Tiers now: T0 repeater/marrow, T1 cleaver/saw/hemophage/eye, T2 bile/guthook/fleshmasher/trapqueen/redhand, T3 cauterizer/tenderizer/ spinaltap/swarmjar. Smoke test pins the 2/4/5/4 distribution.

# Weapons
|
||
|
||
All 16 weapons in MeatSlicer, with exact stats pulled from `js/weapons.js`.
|
||
|
||
Weapons have **no upgrade levels** — their stats are fixed. All scaling comes from [passive items](items.md) and [perks](perks.md).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## How weapons work
|
||
|
||
- You always carry the **Bone Popper** (infinite ammo sidearm) plus **one special weapon** in a holster slot.
|
||
- Press **R** to swap between them. Holstered weapons keep their remaining ammo.
|
||
- Picking up a new special weapon drops your current one (with its remaining ammo) so you can swap back.
|
||
- When a special weapon runs dry, you automatically fall back to the Bone Popper.
|
||
- Special weapons consume ammo per shot: `1 / ammoEff` units per shot (so Brass Magazine's additive `ammoEff` stretches every magazine).
|
||
|
||
### Where weapons come from
|
||
|
||
| Source | Roll |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Boss kill (guaranteed) | Rolled at **floor + 2** — better tiers, earlier |
|
||
| Item room | 35% chance alongside the item, rolled at current floor |
|
||
| Starting loadout | Bone Popper only |
|
||
|
||
### Drop weights by tier
|
||
|
||
| Tier | Weight |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| 0 (Common) | `max(20, 60 − floor × 5)` |
|
||
| 1 (Uncommon) | `30 + floor × 2` |
|
||
| 2 (Rare) | `10 + floor × 3` |
|
||
| 3 (Legendary) | `min(4 + floor × 2, 22)` |
|
||
|
||
Higher floors shift weight toward higher tiers. Tier 3 caps at weight 22.
|
||
|
||
### Shared firing mechanics
|
||
|
||
- **Volley system:** items that grant `split`, `fan`, or `rear` shots add extra projectiles to *every* projectile weapon — parallel shots (±0.035 rad), angled shots (±0.16 rad per level), and backward shots respectively.
|
||
- **Damage:** `weapon dmg × dmgMul` (× `critMul` on crits — 5% base chance, ×2.0 base).
|
||
- **Projectile lifetime (range):** `weapon range × rangeMul`, in seconds.
|
||
- **Homing:** homing projectiles steer toward the nearest enemy within 320 px. Strength is `1.6 + homing × 0.7` for normal weapons with Homing Tumor; stronger bases for Eye Ballista and Swarm Jar (see below).

| Ammo | 70 |
|
||
| Recoil | 0.34 |
|
||
|
||
Corrosive cone spray. On hit: **slows for 1.6 s** and 45% chance to leave an **acid pool** (radius 24 × sizeMul, 3.5 s life, DPS = bullet damage × 1.5). Projectiles that expire mid-flight have a separate 35% chance to drop a pool.
|
||
|
||
### Gut Hook
|
||
|
||
> *Impales and drags the catch*
|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
### Flesh Masher

|
||
| Ammo | 14 |
|
||
| Recoil | 0.90 |
|
||
|
||
Grenade lobber. Flight time auto-computed from distance (clamped 0.12–0.8 s). The blast damages and knocks back everything in radius. Arcs over the chaos — no line of sight needed.
|
||
|
||

|
||
| Recoil | 0.38 |
|
||
|
||
Continuous melee chainsaw — hold LMB and walk into things. Damage scales with `dmgMul × rateMul`, plus the same +6%-per-pierce/bounce/homing inert bonus as the Tenderizer. Sparks fly, ammo drains.

Point-blank slam — no projectile, an instant circular blast in front of you. Bonus "inert" damage scaling: +6% per point of pierce + bounce + homing you own.
|
||
|
||
### Spinal Tap
|
||
|
||
> *Charge it. Delete a line of meat*
|

|
||
| Ammo | 9 |
|
||
| Recoil | 1.00, screen shake 8 |
|
||
|
||
**Hold LMB to charge, release to fire** an instant hitscan beam that deletes everything in a line. Damage scales `0.4 + 0.6 × charge fraction` — full charge is 2.5× a hasty snap shot. A ring around your character shows charge state (blue = full). Charge rate scales with `rateMul × √shotSpeedMul`.
|
||
|
||
### Swarm Jar
|
||
|
||
> *A jar of friends. They are hungry*
|
||
|
||

|
||
| Recoil | 0.70 |
|
||
|
||
Lobs a jar that shatters into a pack of homing maggots. Maggots **inherit your pierce and bounce stats** and relentlessly chase enemies for their full lifetime. Throw and forget.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Damage math reference
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
bullet damage = weapon dmg × dmgMul × (critMul if crit)
|
||
fire interval = weapon interval / (rateMul × frenzyMul)
|
||
proj speed = weapon spd × shotSpeedMul
|
||
proj lifetime = weapon range × rangeMul
|
||
ammo per shot = 1 / ammoEff
|
||
knockback = 90 × knockbackMul
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Crit: base 5% chance, ×2.0 damage. Raised by Bloodshot Eye / Hollow Needle (items) and Bone Splitter / Cold Precision (perks).
|
||
- Frenzy: from Dead Man's Switch — kills grant `1 + frenzy` fire rate for 3 s.
|
||
- Slam/saw/beam weapons (Tenderizer, Red Right Hand, Spinal Tap) get an extra `1 + (pierce + bounce + homing) × 0.06` multiplier instead of firing extra projectiles.
