Weapons Progression Guide
Chasing every weapon at once wastes fragments and kills. This weapons progression guide explains when each major route in Infinity Gauntlet Thanos Simulator becomes realistic — so you pick the next unlock that matches your current account instead of copying a tier list meant for endgame players.
Stage 1: Infinity Gauntlet (Spawn — 0 kills)
Your starting weapon at spawn. Collect Infinity Stones to unlock Teleport, Shield, Charge, Time Stop, Focus, and eventually Snap. No fragments required — focus on stones first.
Realistic goal: Space, Reality, and Time stones before visiting The Forge seriously.
Stage 2: Early Forge Weapons (250–350 kills)
- Secret Weapon — 100 fragments + Soul Stone in inventory. Best Templar farming tool for fragment income.
- Stormbreaker — 100 fragments + 250 kills. Unlocks Catacombs and Bifrost travel. Priority for most players.
- Thanos Sword — 99 Robux gamepass. Optional early-game burst damage.
Realistic goal: Stormbreaker before Mjolnir. Catacombs access opens Celestial Forge upgrades.
Stage 3: Mid-Game Forge & Catacombs (350 kills — 75,000 kills)
- Mjolnir — 350 fragments, requires Stormbreaker. Mandatory for Lunar World and Hadron Enforcer altar.
- Cosmi-Rod — Drop from Servant of Celestial [Rare] in Catacombs. S-tier universal weapon for farming.
- Upgraded Stormbreaker — 75,000 kills at Celestial Forge. Massive DPS boost for World5 NPCs.
Realistic goal: Mjolnir + Cosmi-Rod before pushing World5 or Lunar World content.
Stage 4: Celestial Upgrades & Endgame Craft (75,000 — 200,000 kills)
- Upgraded Infinity Gauntlet — 200,000 kills at Celestial Forge. Adds Infinity Beam (Z), Meteor Shower (V), and spammable Classic Snap with full heal.
- Hadron Enforcer — Crafted at Lunar World altar with Mjolnir Strike. Required for Eson, Doom templates, and L5 shield breaking.
- Gungnir — 750 Robux gamepass (Update 3.1). A-tier spear for Robux buyers; not required for any boss gate.
Stage 5: Boss-Gated Legendaries
These weapons require specific boss chains — attempt only after Stage 4 gear:
- Heart of Ymir — Defeat Eson in World5. Enables Snap of Ymir.
- Surtur's Sword — Full Catacombs + Lunar World boss chain. See Surtur guide.
- Mechanical Gloves — Update 3.2 reward from Doom at the Power Temple.
V2.5 Weapon Upgrades (Permanent)
The V2.5 patch added +10,000 HP upgrades to several weapons: Cosmi-Rod melee, Mjolnir HammerThrow and Fragmentation, Hadron Enforcer modes, and Twilight Sword FireBomb. These upgrades persist and strengthen mid-to-late routes without replacing the progression order above.
Quick Decision Table
| Your Status | Next Realistic Target |
|---|---|
| 0–3 stones, under 250 kills | Finish stones → Stormbreaker |
| Stormbreaker owned, under 75K kills | Mjolnir → Cosmi-Rod |
| 75K+ kills, all stones | Upgraded Stormbreaker or Upgraded Gauntlet |
| Hadron Enforcer crafted | Heart of Ymir → Surtur chain or Doom gloves |
Frequently Asked Questions
What weapon should I get first after the gauntlet?
Stormbreaker at The Forge (100 fragments, 250 kills) is the standard first forged weapon. It unlocks the Catacombs.
Is the Secret Weapon or Stormbreaker better early?
Secret Weapon farms Templar fragments faster with the Soul Stone. Stormbreaker unlocks more map content. Many players craft both.
When should I attempt Doom or Surtur?
After Mjolnir, Hadron Enforcer, and most Celestial upgrades. Both are endgame boss routes, not early-game goals.
Do gamepass weapons skip progression?
Gungnir and Thanos Sword add power but do not replace stone collection or Forge kill requirements for Catacombs access.
