GunZ: The Duel Best Weapons Tier List
Last updated: 2026-08-14
Classic loadout archetypes that defined competitive GunZ, ready to use in the remaster. Slots: two weapons + melee + items. Specific shop stats are still settling post-launch, so these are ranked by role, not by individual item numbers.
S Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Double Shotgun + Sword | K-Style duels | The classic duel set: alternate shotguns through slash-shot cancels to skip reloads. What most 1v1 rooms expect. |
| Shotgun + Revolver + Sword | Versatile PvP | Trades the second shotgun for mid-range poke. Strongest all-rounder while you are still learning cancels. |
A Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Dagger Rush Set | Mobility dueling | Dagger movement plus a shotgun for burst. A respected specialist style — brutal learning curve, terrifying in good hands. |
| Sword-Only (Gladiator) | Melee rooms | Gladiator-rule rooms ban guns entirely. Pure blocking, feints and massives — the community's classic honor duel format. |
B Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
| Rifle + Medkits | Quest / PvE | Sustained fire and healing items carry Quest mode waves where duel-style burst matters less than uptime. |
