WB Games Back 4 Blood has many weapons spread across seven different weapon types: Assault Rifles, Submachine Guns, Shotguns, Light Machine Guns, Sniper Rifles, Sidearms, and Melee.

WB Games Here’s a look at the best gun from each weapon type in Back 4 Blood .

Ranch Rifle

Assault Rifle WB Games

WB Games The Ranch Rifle might not have the fastest rate of fire, but it packs a punch and can help you to satisfyingly defeat even the toughest Ridden.

RPK

Light Machine Gun WB Games

WB Games The RPK strikes an ideal balance between its rate of fire, power, and recoil to make it a reliable weapon in almost any sticky situation.

UMP 45

Submachine Gun WB Games

WB Games The UMP is very accurate and has low recoil for a Submachine Gun, but it still has all of the weapon type’s greatest strengths.

Super 90

WB Games The Super 90 balances the expected strength of a shotgun with a fast rate of fire to create a shotgun that’s nearly as effective as a Machine Gun or Assault Rifle.

Desert Eagle

WB Games The Desert Eagle is your best sidearm choice in Back 4 Blood because it’s the strongest of the pistols. It’s a backup weapon, but it’s no slouch.

M1A

Sniper Rifle WB Games

While it doesn’t deal as much damage as other Sniper Rifles, the M1A’s fast rate of fire ensures that snipers like Jim can actually make a difference in a fight.

Machete

Melee Weapon WB Games

WB Games The Machete’s attack is a wide sweep instead of an overhead swing. This means you can hit multiple zombies at once without using much stamina.

Back 4 Blood is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
