Weapon Tier List
This weapon tier list ranks every major weapon in Infinity Gauntlet Thanos Simulator based on damage output, utility, acquisition difficulty, and endgame viability. Rankings reflect the current meta after Update 3.1 (Gungnir, TemPad) and the World5 Lazarus expansion. Use this alongside our items database and weapon controls to plan your loadout.
Tier List Criteria
Weapons are evaluated on five factors: raw damage against standard and boss NPCs, area-of-effect coverage, mobility and travel utility, investment cost (fragments, kills, Robux), and scaling into Catacombs, World5, and Lunar World content. A weapon that excels early but falls off in endgame is ranked lower than one with consistent performance across all zones.
S Tier — Endgame Dominance
- Upgraded Infinity Gauntlet — Unlocked at 200,000 kills via Celestial Forge. Beam (Z) and Meteor (V) abilities clear entire NPC clusters. The definitive late-game gauntlet with superior health and Snap variants.
- Cosmi-Rod (Universal Weapon) — Dropped by Servant of Celestial [Rare] in the Catacombs. Versatile hammer smash and cosmic abilities outperform most forged weapons in sustained DPS.
- Upgraded Stormbreaker — Celestial Forge upgrade at 75,000 kills. Charged Strike (X) one-shots standard NPCs and Thunderslam (E) covers 120-stud radius. Best melee AoE in the game.
A Tier — Strong All-Rounders
- Mjolnir — 350 fragments at the Forge. Strike ability activates the Lunar World altar for Hadron Enforcer crafting. Excellent single-target boss damage.
- Stormbreaker — 100 fragments unlocks Catacombs access and Bifrost (R) teleport. Essential progression weapon even before its Celestial upgrade.
- Gungnir — 750 Robux gamepass weapon. Strong damage and reach for players who want immediate power without fragment grinding.
- Infinity Gauntlet (Full Stones) — With all six stones, Snap and Disintegrate provide unmatched crowd control. Sits at A tier because upgraded variants and forged weapons surpass it in raw kill speed.
B Tier — Solid Mid-Game Options
- Secret Weapon — 100 fragments plus Soul Stone. Fast swing speed and strong Templar farming at the Forge. Outclassed once Stormbreaker and Mjolnir are available.
- Thanos Sword — Simple early-game option with a serviceable Q ability. Good for new players before accessing the Forge.
- Time Stick — Event reward with time-themed abilities. Niche utility but outperformed by gauntlet Time Stop in most scenarios.
- TemPad — Teleportation gadget from updates. Useful for traversal but limited combat value compared to Space Stone Teleport.
C Tier — Situational or Gated
- Infinity Gauntlet (No Stones) — Base gauntlet without stones has minimal abilities. Priority is always stone collection.
- Power Stone (Standalone) — The Robux Power Stone gamepass only functions with other stones equipped. Not a weapon on its own.
D Tier — Early Game Only
- Default Fists / No Weapon — Viable only for the first few kills at spawn. Replace immediately with the gauntlet.
Progression Priority
For optimal efficiency, follow this acquisition order: Infinity Gauntlet → collect stones → Secret Weapon (if Soul Stone drops early) → Stormbreaker → Catacombs → Mjolnir → Cosmi-Rod → Celestial upgrades. Consult our Hadron Enforcer guide for the Lunar World endgame step.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best weapon in the game?
The Upgraded Infinity Gauntlet at 200,000 kills is widely considered the best overall weapon, with the Cosmi-Rod and Upgraded Stormbreaker close behind for specific content.
Is Gungnir worth 750 Robux?
Gungnir is a strong A-tier weapon that skips fragment grinding. It is worth it for players who value time savings, but free-to-play forged weapons eventually surpass it with Celestial upgrades.
Should I craft Secret Weapon or Stormbreaker first?
If you have the Soul Stone, Secret Weapon accelerates Templar fragment farming. Stormbreaker is the priority for Catacombs access and long-term progression. Many players craft both at 100 fragments in different order based on Soul Stone luck.
How does the gauntlet compare to forged weapons?
A fully stoned gauntlet excels at crowd control with Snap and Disintegrate. Forged weapons like Stormbreaker and Mjolnir offer faster kill rates for farming kills and fragments.
Does this tier list include unreleased weapons?
No. Rankings cover all currently available weapons in Update 3.1 and World5 Lazarus. We update tiers when Blg42598 releases balance changes.
