Returnal, a new PS5-exclusive action game, is tough as nails. But, as with many games that feature roguelike elements, all sorts of weapons can turn up on your runs. Each one can help you, with various degrees of efficacy, on your quest of ânot dying.â Here, according to the tried-and-true scientific method of our long-running underexplained lists, is the definitive ranking of those weapons.
From best to worstâŠ
Thermogenic launcher (with âfull autoâ perk)
Tachyomatic carbine
Hollowseeker
Spitmaw blaster
Electropylon driver
Modified sidearm
Coilspine shredder
Dreadbound
Pyroshell caster
Thermogenic launcher (without âfull autoâ perk)
Literally nothing equipped at all.
Seriously, youâd be better running through Atropos with your hands tied behind your back.
And blindfolded.
