Complete Weapons Catalog
| Tier | Name | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | Pistol | Single Shot | Starter sidearm. Reliable but weak against larger dinosaurs. |
| B | Shotgun | Single Shot | Strong at close range. Punishes dinosaurs that rush blindly. |
| B | Standard Rifle | Rifle | Balanced primary weapon for most Hunt rounds. |
| A | Sniper Rifle | Rifle | Headshots deal bonus damage. Best with turret positions on Facility and Hills. |
| A | Minigun | Special | Sustained DPS monster. Requires good positioning due to slow movement while firing. |
| S | Rocket Launcher | Special | Strongest weapon in the game. Can eliminate most dinosaurs in one well-placed shot. |
Single Shot Weapons
The Pistol is your free starter sidearm — reliable but weak against Spinosaurus and above. Upgrade quickly. The Shotgun delivers medium damage at close range, punishing Velociraptor rushes on Facility and City alleys. Both weapons suit early-game credit grinding before Rocket Launcher savings begin.
Rifle Weapons
Standard Rifle is the balanced Hunt mode primary with medium-high damage. Sniper Rifle deals high damage with headshot bonuses — essential on Hills and Volcano turret positions. Rifles reward PC players with precise aim; mobile users may prefer shotgun or minigun alternatives.
Special Weapons
Minigun delivers very high sustained DPS but slows movement while firing — pre-position in Temple corridors before engaging. The Rocket Launcher is the strongest weapon in Dino Hunters with extreme damage capable of one-shotting most dinosaurs. Save credits aggressively toward this S-tier unlock.
Unlocking Weapons with Credits
