Totally Accurate Battlegrounds: Comprehensive Weapons Data (Aug 2021 Updated)

Most of the numbers given in this guide are approximate; there are some unseen decimals at work when it comes to damage and health, and fire rates have been estimated to the nearest reasonable fraction based on recorded gameplay.

Each gun in TABG usually fires one of seven types of ammo;

• Small (in a Yellow box)
• Normal (in a Green box)
• Big (in a Blue box)
• Shotgun (in a Red box)
• Bolts
• Musket (in an open Brown box)
• Taser

Which type of ammo a gun takes can give you an idea of its power, however there is a lot of variation even between guns which fire the same ammo. Try to keep a mixture of guns that take different types of ammo with you, so you’re not out of luck if you run out of one type.

Guns which fire Bolts, Musket Ammo or Taser Ammo tend to have a short range before the bullet drops to the ground. Attach a Fast Barrel to these guns if you find one!

Also, guns which fire Taser Ammo can stun the opponent if they hit! They won’t be able to aim or move for a while, but be careful as they can still hold down the trigger.

Each gun in TABG also uses any number of three fire modes;

• Auto, which fires at a set rate while you hold down the trigger
• Burst, which fires a set number of bullets each time you pull the trigger
• Single, which fires one bullet each time you pull the trigger

In this guide, I will be listing how many bullets a gun in Burst mode will fire, as well as which modes each gun is compatible with.

Weapon damage for most guns depends on where your hit your opponent. All damage values in this guide are for the torso unless otherwise stated.

Shots to the head will deal double damage, and can be an instant kill for some weapons.

Shots to the torso will deal regular damage.

Shots to the limbs will deal diminished damage depending on how far down the limb the hit is.

On top of this, equipping the Heavy Barrel to your gun will cause it to deal approximately 130% of its regular damage output. This means a shot to the head can deal up to 260% damage!

Shotguns ignore where on the body they hit, so always aim for your opponent’s centre of mass to make sure as many pellets hit them as possible.

Melee weapons also ignore where on the body they hit, so don’t worry about trying to damage your opponent’s head from that distance.

Weapons start to do less damage the further you are from your target, depending on the gun. Sniper rifles can deal maximum damage from a longer range, while shotguns and pistols lose damage rapidly the further your opponent is.

Sniper rifles can still do maximum damage even when you are far from your opponent, however they usually have a lower firing rate and longer reload time which makes them worse for close encounters.

Battle rifles are good all-rounder weapons, serving well at most ranges but especially excelling at medium-range combat.

Sub-machine Guns are suited for closer quarters, and tend to be better put to use in closed areas like buildings.

Pistols are comparatively small and weak, but they are also common and can be held in one hand. Keep one in your tertiary weapon slot, or keep two in a regular weapon slot to double your firepower!

Machine guns have large magazines and deal damage through sheer rate of fire, however they can be very unwieldy. Find a Weapon Mastery blessing or a Compensator to make them easier to handle! They also all only fire in Auto mode, so manually control your bursts with the trigger.

Crossbows take some skill to use properly as their bolts don’t have a very high range, however in the right hands they can be deadly with their high damage output! Find a Fast Barrel to make them easier to use.

Shotguns are designed for very close quarters, and fire pellets out in a cone in front of you rather than a single bullet at a time. They also ignore where you hit the opponent, so just focus on hitting them with as many pellets as possible! Attaching an Accuracy Barrel will tighten the cone of your Shotgun, making it more accurate.

*The damage values given in this table are approximate for all pellets hitting the opponent at point blank.

Explosive weapons deal damage in a radius around where they detonate, letting you harm multiple opponents at once! However, the explosions can also harm you if you’re too close to them.

*The damage values given in this table are approximated for detonation at point blank with the opponent.

Other than guns you may also find melee weapons in the field; these do a set amount of damage per swing and also come with a unique secondary function each!

Other than the weapons listed in this guide, keep your eyes open for rare weapons with unique and special effects out in the field! Examples include;

• The Mossberg-5000, which can ricochet bullets off walls!
• The Flying Blunderbuss, which launches you into the air when you fire!
• The Taser Minigun, which fires stunning Taser rounds instead of Normal!
• The Liberating Garands, which fit in one hand each and are always fully Automatic!
• The Really Big Barrett, which is really, really big!

There are also mystical spellbooks to be found, which can be wielded in one hand alongside your other guns! Examples include;

• Healing Aura, which heals your and your nearby teammates!
• Track, which guides you to the nearest opponent in any direction!
• Gravity Field, which lifts everyone in a huge radius helplessly into the air!
• Teleport, which launches a small pellet that teleports you instantly to where it lands!
• Summon Rock, which summons a rock!

Certain weapon combinations work better than others, and certain blessings or attachments can make the difference in how effective your loadout is! Here are a few ideas to get you started when it comes to what to look for when you land.

• Blessings like Storm and Ice only care about how many bullets hit the opponent, not how much damage is done, so use them with weapons that have a high rate of fire!
• Accuracy Barrels reduce the amount of spread a gun has, so don’t bother putting it on something like a Musket and save it for your Blunderbuss!
• If you get downed, you’ll drop the weapon in your first slot, so keep anything precious to you in the second one!
