Overview[]
With the introduction of tier 5, the weapons are getting better and better, though this tier sees the reintroduction of some makeshift weapons, namely the Clean Shots and Cinderblock Hammer, which is quite literally just a club of concrete and rebar. The Barbaric Batons are the spiritual successor to the Blade Batons at tier 4, with better damage and stats. The Plumber's Rage is yet another conversion of a standard metal pipe, just with a knife on this one. The Rocky Gloves are quite literally just that, a pair of gloves with a heavy rock taped to the end. The Gutslicer and Spiky bat are both modified weapons, with the bat being a baseball bat with some nails in it and the Gutslicer being a metal pipe with a circular saw blade attached in it.
However, the main attractions of this tier are you first true, full fledged firearms. The Stock Shotgun is quite literally that, a standard shotgun. There's no mods to it, but it's also not being held together with scrap metal and tape! The Crossbow is also quite literally what it says it is, an ordinary crossbow. Nothing fancy about it but also nothing wrong with it.
Trivia[]
- This is the last tier where cloth scrap and duct tape are used to craft items.
