The original guide got over 3k views, but it’s not as good as I want it to be. Here’s the second version of the Ultimate Guide for Every Weapon!
If anyone is wondering what’s different, here’s a list of what is/will be new:
- it look nice
- tell you how to fight
- type of ammo

Weapons:
Zapper
The zapper is the main weapon in Gimkit. It serves as the basis for all weapons and is usually the first weapon you come across when you start playing Gimkit.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 |
| Range | Short Range |

| Long Range | F - Low range results in no possible damage |
| Ambush | D - Low speed and damage results in less effectiveness |
| Solo | C - Only effective against other zappers |
| Group | B - Works well as a support unit |
Evil Eye
The Evil Eye is a modified version of the zapper, as shown in the artwork above. This weapon is found in One Way Out, and is one of the best weapons in the game. It is the 2nd most damaging weapon in the game, whilst keeping a relatively fair travel speed.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 72, 80, 88, 96, 104 |
| Range | Long Range |

PML
The PML, or Portable Muffin Launcher, is one of the most disliked weapons in Gimkit (Based on a community poll). This weapon is also found in One Way Out. Surprisingly enough, it’s not that bad.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 44, 51, 58, 65, 72 |
| Range | Long Range |
| Speed | 6 TPS |
| Ammo | 12 |
| Bullet | Medium Shards |
| Reload | 4 Seconds |
| Situation | |

| Long Range | B - Because of its low damage, it isn’t as effective as it could be |
| Ambush | D - Low speed and damage results in less effectiveness |
| Solo | B - Because of its high reload time, it isn’t as effective as it could be |
| Group | C - It’s set up to be a heavy unit, but doesn’t deal enough damage |
Slingshot
The slingshot might be the most underrated weapon in Gimkit. The slingshot can be found in One Way Out, and deals enough damage to kill your opponent in 2 hits. The weapon used to be the fastest weapon in the game, traveling twice as fast as a zapper, until the blaster was added.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 60, 66, 72, 78, 84 |
| Range | Medium Range |
| Speed | 8 TPS |
| Ammo | 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 |
| Bullet | Medium Shards |
| Reload | 4 Seconds |
| Situation | |
|---|---|
| Short Range | C - Low ammo and reload speed results in less effectiveness |
| Long Range | A - Due to its fast speed, it’s hard to dodge. It also can go a reasonable distance |
| Ambush | C - Low ammo and damage results in less effectiveness |
| Solo | C - Low ammo and reload speed results in less effectiveness |
| Group | A - Works incredibly well as a sharpshooter unit |
Quantum Portal
The Quantum Portal is probably the best short-range weapon in Gimkit. For comparison, the legendary Evil Eye deals 104 damage. The common Quantum Portal deals 184 damage. It is quite easy to dodge, though.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 184, 196, 208, 220, 232 |
| Range | Long Range |
| Speed | 4 TPS |
| Ammo | 1 |

| Long Range | F - Incredibly easy to dodge |
| Ambush | B - In chaotic environments, you may be able to damage a few opponents |
| Solo | D - Easy to dodge, less targets |
| Group | B - Good in crowds |
Snowball Launcher
The Snowball Launcher used to be only weapon in Gimkit that wasn’t in One Way Out, until it was added in. The weapon is featured in all of the snowy minigames, and is commonly related to a machine gun.
| Stat | Value |

| Damage | 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 |
| Range | Medium Range |
| Speed | 6 TPS |
| Ammo | 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 |

| Ambush | B - Can lay down lots of hits in a short period of time |
| Solo | B - Lots of ammo but low damage |
| Group | A - Works well as a sprayer unit |
Wooden Wand
The Wooden Wand is not very popular among the Gimkit community. It’s just a stick really. Though, fun fact, you can get it in One Way Out by completing a secret mission!
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 |
| Range | Medium Range (Varies) |

| Long Range | D - Not a lot of damage |
| Ambush | B - Can deal with many enemies at once |
| Solo | A - Lots of ammo and high fire rate allows lots of damage |
| Group | B - Works okay as a sprayer, not as good as snowball launcher |
Blaster
The Blaster is one of the most unique weapons in Gimkit. Although the version used in the Blastball gamemode does not deal any damage, the creative version does. It is the fastest weapon in Gimkit, overtaking the Slingshot.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 20, 23, 26, 29, 32 |

| Group | B - Similar to snowball launcher and wand |
Conclusion
Gimkit offers a variety of weapons. From long range sharpshooters, to fast-paced sprayers, to high-damaging launchers, there’s so much to choose from, and there’s so many choices for you. I hope this guide helped you. This is the 2nd guide, and in the future there may be a third, but in the end, they all have the same goal… I don’t really know it yet. Here’s a poll!
- Zapper
- Evil Eye
- PML
- Slingshot
- Quantum Portal
- Snowball Launcher
- Wooden Wand
- Blaster
Also, if you’re wondering why I made a second one, the forums doesn’t allow TL2s to edit posts after 30 days, so I couldn’t update the original. If any gimkit admins see this then pweese let me edit it.
