If you’re trying to figure out which weapons are worth using in Final Swarm, there are quite a few options to choose from. The game currently has 21 weapons, ranging from Common weapons like the Sword and Bow to extremely rare options such as the Ban Hammer, Trident, and Laserbeam.
In this post, I’ll go through the current Final Swarm weapon tier list and break down every weapon by rarity. I’ll also include the chest types where each weapon can be obtained and their listed drop rates.
One thing to remember is that weapons automatically attack while you’re playing. Your main job is to move around, survive, and let your equipped weapons deal with the enemies. Every weapon can also be upgraded, so getting a good weapon is only the beginning.
Final Swarm Weapon Tier List – All Weapons & Rarities
Here is a quick look at the current weapons by rarity:
| Tier | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Common | Sword, Bow, Dagger, Shotgun |
| Rare | Revolver, Ninja Star, Frost Walker, Poison Flask |
| Epic | Spike Ball, Axe, Bananarang, Lightning Staff, Flame Walker |
| Legendary | Firestaff, Missile, Aura, Tornado |
| Mythical | Ban Hammer, Trident, Laserbeam |
| Limited | Void Scythe |
| Exclusive | Flame Walker, Tornado, Laserbeam |
The Exclusive section is separate from the normal rarity progression because these weapons are available from the Raid Chest.
Common Weapons
Common weapons are the easiest weapons to obtain and include the Sword, Bow, Dagger, and Shotgun.
Their listed drop chances are the same across the available chest types.
| Weapon | Common Chest | Rare Chest | Epic Chest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sword | 6.667% | 4.667% | 2.25% |
| Bow | 6.667% | 4.667% | 2.25% |
| Dagger | 6.667% | 4.667% | 2.25% |
| Shotgun | 6.667% | 4.667% | 2.25% |
If you’re new to the game, these are some of the weapons you’re most likely to pick up first.
Rare Weapons
The Rare weapon group includes:
- Revolver
- Ninja Star
- Frost Walker
- Poison Flask
These weapons can appear from Common, Rare, Epic, and Raid Chests.
| Weapon | Common Chest | Rare Chest | Epic Chest | Raid Chest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolver | 1.667% | 3.333% | 3.75% | 13.75% |

| Poison Flask | 1.667% | 3.333% | 3.75% | 13.75% |
Interestingly, all four Rare weapons have exactly the same listed drop rates.
Epic Weapons
The Epic category has five weapons:
- Spike Ball
- Axe
- Bananarang
- Lightning Staff
- Flame Walker
The first four can be obtained from Rare, Epic, Premium, and Raid Chests.
| Weapon | Rare Chest | Epic Chest | Premium Chest | Raid Chest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spike Ball | 0.333% | 2.5% | 4.75% | 6.4% |
| Axe | 0.333% | 2.5% | 4.75% | 6.4% |
| Bananarang | 0.333% | 2.5% | 4.75% | 6.4% |
| Lightning Staff | 0.333% | 2.5% | 4.75% | 6.4% |
| Flame Walker | 0% | 0% | 0% | 6.4% |
Flame Walker is a special case here. While it appears in the Epic section, the listed chance is 0% from Rare, Epic, and Premium Chests. Its listed source is the Raid Chest, where it has a 6.4% chance.
Legendary Weapons
The Legendary group contains four weapons:
- Firestaff
- Missile
- Aura
- Tornado
The first three have the same listed drop rates, while Tornado is only listed from the Raid Chest.
| Weapon | Epic Chest | Premium Chest | Raid Chest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firestaff | 0.556% | 4.111% | 3.667% |
| Missile | 0.556% | 4.111% | 3.667% |
| Aura | 0.556% | 4.111% | 3.667% |
| Tornado | 0% | 0% | 3.667% |
Tornado has a 0% listed chance from Epic and Premium Chests and a 3.667% chance from Raid Chests.
Mythical Weapons
Mythical weapons are among the rarest normal weapons in Final Swarm.
This category contains:
- Ban Hammer
- Trident
- Laserbeam
| Weapon | Epic Chest | Premium Chest | Raid Chest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ban Hammer | 0.083% | 0.833% | 0.667% |
| Trident | 0.083% | 0.833% | 0.667% |
| Laserbeam | 0% | 0% | 0.667% |
Ban Hammer and Trident have a tiny 0.083% chance from an Epic Chest.
Laserbeam is another special case. It has a 0% listed chance from Epic and Premium Chests and a 0.667% chance from the Raid Chest.
Limited Weapon
There is currently one weapon listed under the Limited category: Void Scythe.
It is obtained from the Void Chest.
| Weapon | Void Chest |
|---|---|
| Void Scythe | 1.667% |
If you’re trying to collect the Limited weapons, Void Scythe is the one to look out for from Void Chests.
Exclusive Weapons
The Exclusive section contains three weapons that are tied to the Raid Chest:
- Flame Walker
- Tornado
- Laserbeam
Their listed Raid Chest chances are:
| Weapon | Raid Chest |
|---|---|
| Flame Walker | 6.4% |
| Tornado | 3.667% |
| Laserbeam | 0.667% |
This also explains why Flame Walker and Tornado appear in both the normal rarity list and the Exclusive section.
Best Weapons to Aim For
If you’re looking at rarity alone, the Mythical weapons sit above the Legendary and Epic weapons in the normal rarity progression.
The Mythical options are:
- Ban Hammer
- Trident
- Laserbeam
However, rarity doesn’t automatically mean that one weapon will be the best choice for every situation. Since weapons can be upgraded and automatically attack while you’re playing, your actual setup will depend on the weapons you have available and how far you’ve upgraded them.
For beginners, I wouldn’t worry too much about chasing a Mythical weapon immediately. Focus on collecting and upgrading the weapons you can get while you progress.
Unlike games where you have to manually activate every attack, Final Swarm handles weapon attacks automatically.
Once you load into the game, your weapons attack on their own.
This means your main responsibility is movement and survival. You need to keep running around, avoid enemies, and stay alive while your weapons continuously deal damage.
Every weapon is also upgradeable, so you can continue improving your setup as you progress.
Weapon Attack Speed Bug
There is currently an important issue to be aware of when looking at weapon stats.
Some weapon attack speeds are visually bugged.
Because of this, the displayed attack speed may not always accurately represent how the weapon actually performs. If you notice something that looks strange with a weapon’s attack speed, it may simply be a visual issue rather than the weapon actually attacking incorrectly.
It’s worth waiting for the developers to fix the issue before judging a weapon purely from its displayed attack speed.
Weapon Drop Rates
For a quick reference, the current weapon pool includes 21 weapons spread across several rarity categories.
The Common weapons are Sword, Bow, Dagger, and Shotgun. The Rare group contains Revolver, Ninja Star, Frost Walker, and Poison Flask. Epic weapons include Spike Ball, Axe, Bananarang, Lightning Staff, and Flame Walker.
The Legendary group contains Firestaff, Missile, Aura, and Tornado, while Ban Hammer, Trident, and Laserbeam are Mythical. Void Scythe is currently listed as Limited.
Flame Walker, Tornado, and Laserbeam are also listed as Exclusive Raid Chest weapons.
There are plenty of weapons to collect in Final Swarm, and the rarity system gives you a good idea of how difficult each one is to obtain.
If you’re just starting, don’t feel like you need to immediately hunt for the rarest weapon. Use whatever you can get from your chests, upgrade it, and keep progressing. Since your weapons attack automatically, surviving long enough for your upgraded weapons to do their job is just as important as the weapon itself.
If you’re specifically hunting for one of the rarer weapons, check its listed chest before spending your resources. Some weapons, such as Flame Walker, Tornado, and Laserbeam, have 0% listed chances from several chest types and are tied to the Raid Chest instead.
With 21 weapons currently available, there is plenty to collect as you continue playing Final Swarm.
