Look no further for the best weapons out of each category in FragPunk, so you know what to select to compliment your Lancer.

FragPunk has a couple of weapons across a handful of categories for you to choose from. And its economy works differently than some games. You don't have to buy weapons. Instead, they have a certain amount of uses. So, you'll want to make the most out of the best weapons in FragPunk.

We'll go over the best one from each category so you know what to pick when you're in a game, breaking the rules.

Every category of weapon in FragPunk and the best one to choose

There are nine total weapon categories in FragPunk, but only the best of the best should be used by you in battle. The majority only have two weapons, but a couple have more, such as the pistol and utility gun slots.

Here you go, with a table of the best FragPunk weapons and why, representing each category in order of how they appear in your Arsenal:

Weapon Category
Weapon
Reason
Shotgun
Boom Broom
It doesn't deliver as much damage per shot as the Meat Maker, but you can fire it a lot more. The automatic shotgun is easy to control and the most dangerous weapon up close in FragPunk.
Submachine Gun
Mad Dog-S
The silenced Mad Dog-S has a lower rate of fire compared to its counterpart, the Clampdown, but its damage is much higher. It does more damage at every range and the silenced effect helps you be a bit sneaky.
Assault Rifle
Discipline
There Discipline is a perfect assault rifle. The Fever hits a lot harder, but the Discipline is an all around beast. Recoil control, damage, and overall handling have a nice balance. That's why it is one of the best weapons in FragPunk.
Light Machine Gun
My Way
The Ghost Pepper speeds up its fire rate as you continuously fire it. That makes its recoil unpredictable. Go with the My Way for LMG usage, as it is a smooth, hard-hitting monster of a machine gun with a huge magazine.
Marksman Weapon
Bad Reputation
Labeled as a marksman, Bad Reputation is basically a sniper rifle. Up to 15 meters and a headshot is a guaranteed kill. This is unlike the Bad Moon-S, which requires multiple shots no matter the distance.
Sniper Rifle
Resolver
The Highlife fires multiple rounds from the hip and has more damage falloff while you ADS. That makes it a sporadic choice. Choose the Resolver instead. You'll get a guaranteed headshot kill no matter the distance, and a guaranteed kill to the body up to 17 meters.
Pistol
Cold Shoulder
What the Cold Shoulder lacks in sheer firepower, it makes up for elsewhere. You can pull it up and ADS with it faster than the other pistols. And its automatic firing capabilities make it a wonderful companion for those single-shot sniper and marksman rifles.
Utility Gun
Smoker
Utility Guns are some of the best weapons in FragPunk. They're severely underrated. You should pick the Smoker as your sidearm frequently, as it is a smoke grenade with the need of a Shard Card or ability. You've got cover in your pocket at all times.
Dagger
Blitzer
The default knife is known as the Blitzer, and we prefer it over the Striker. It is less clunky and nothing beats a nice lunge after you charge up the knife.

We have no idea if they'll add more weapons to FragPunk in the future. If they do, we'll update you here with our best weapons list if any newer ones dethrone what we currently have as the top one from each category.
