Weapons

Weapons are used to kill dinosaurs. There are many different classes of weapons. The first weapon you get is from the Crossbow class. To unlock weapons, you either have to reach a certain point in Story mode, or you reach a certain Hunter Level (Co-op leveling system). Each weapon can be upgraded up to 10 for maximum power. It is best to not upgrade weak weapons, because the weapon of a better tier will be more powerful than the other weapon at its max power. There are 6 classes of weapons that each have a premium weapon that cost tCrystals, while the rest need to be unlocked and are bought using coins and items. Buying a crystal weapon is fun, but upgrading also cost crystals, so you need a lot of them.

Which weapen should I take?
You ALWAYS have a Melee weapon. And you certainly need one to take out boss’ shields and Melee only missions. Smaller minions should be taken out by Melee weapens as well.

Crossbows come third in “most damage with all bullets together”. They are strong, sustainable damage machines for use on bosses and bigger minions.

Rifles come second in “most damage with all bullets together”. They don’t seem to do much damage, but have an immense fire rate. Definitely for use on bosses.

Shotguns shoot the area in front of you, with for shotguns acceptable range. Their knockback makes them useful when holding out dino’s or for crowd control. Do not use them any way else!

Flamethrowers are weapons to kill all sorts of non-shooting minions. Not to be used on bosses.

Bazooka’s come first in “most damage with all bullets together”. These things are powerhouse and have a very good splash. Since they are so immensely strong, you can use them on anything, including bosses. You might even kill minions when hitting the boss. You just need this weapen in your arsenal, but watch out with the klunky cannon.
