Devil Hunter Weapon Progression Guide (Roblox) – Best Weapons for Early, Mid & End Game Builds

Devil Hunter on Roblox blends fast-paced melee combat with survival progression, inspired by Chainsaw Man. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned hunter grinding raids, understanding the weapon progression and knowing which weapons dominate each stage of the game is key to success. This guide breaks down the best weapons, how progression works, weapon categories, and tips for farming materials efficiently.

How Weapon Progression Works in Devil Hunter

Before we dive into weapon rankings, it’s important to understand progression in Devil Hunter:

Starting the Game

Once you start the game, complete your introductory missions by talking to all Division Captains inside the Public Safety Headquarters. These initial quests unlock the ability to leave and progress into the open world. According to community guides, you can select your first weapon at the Armory – and this choice is permanent until you wipe your build.

Human vs Fiend

Humans use weapons and can swap them freely in inventory, while Fiends rely on their inherent race-based abilities and cannot equip standard weapons. This makes weapon progression especially critical for human builds.

Crafting and Black Market

Weapons in Devil Hunter aren’t limited to buying from the armory. The Black Market refreshes every 15 minutes and regularly sells firearms, devil materials, and rare crafting components – making it essential for progression.

Players craft better weapons by gathering Devil Flesh and other materials from missions, raids, kills, and Black Market purchases. Crafting stations are found in Division areas within the Headquarters.

Weapon Categories Explained

Devil Hunter weapons fall into several distinct categories. Each plays differently and has strengths suited for different stages of progression.

Light Weapons

• Fast attack speed
• Low damage per hit
• Great for beginners and agility builds
• Includes blades like daggers and knives

These are ideal when you’re starting out and need mobility and combo mastery.

Medium Weapons

• Balanced speed and damage
• Slightly longer reach
• Great all-round choices

Medium weapons are versatile for both early progression and late game.

Heavy Weapons

• High damage and posture break
• Slow attack speed
• Best for boss fights

Heavy weapons excel in mid to late game when burst damage becomes more valuable.

Firearms

• Long-range damage
• Safe farming from a distance
• Requires ammo and precision

Firearms are widely regarded as top-tier because they let you shred enemies from afar while minimizing danger.

Martial Arts

• Close combat flair
• High skill cap
• Niche use in specific builds

These excel in tight combat situations but are less versatile than weapons.

Best Weapons by Tier

Below is a synthesized tier list based on community meta ranking and weapon stats (e.g., damage and speed values from player-compiled databases).

S Tier – Meta Dominators

These are the most effective weapons in the game and worth pursuing as soon as possible:

• All Firearms
  • Model: UZI – high clear speed for hordes
  • 1911 – precision ranged damage
  • AK-style guns – consistent high DPS
  • Cobalt Bloom & Cross Punisher – late-game gun choices
    Firearms are S-tier thanks to their superior safety and range.

A Tier – Heavy Hitters

Heavy weapons are less forgiving but devastating in boss fights:

• Broad Axe – powerhouse for tank clearing
• Shibuki – top common heavy
• Devil’s Maw, Razor Halberd, Punk Hazard, Scissor Blade
  These deal massive damage and are excellent if you need boss nuking tools.

B Tier – Balanced Medium Weapons

Medium weapons strike a balance between speed and damage:

• Katana / Yukimura / Scarlet Queen
• Murasama & Yamada
• Razorfang & Kuchigatana
  These are versatile weapons that fit most playstyles and perform well when mastered.

C Tier – Early Game Starters

Light weapons are great for rapid hits and learning combat, but lack damage later:

• Kitchen Knife, Combat Knife, Locust Knife, Velvet Knife, Velvet Fangs
  Use these early while farming materials and mastery XP.

D Tier – Niche Martial Arts

These are fun to use but generally outclassed:

• Left & Right, Devil Crusher – close combat specialist
  Best for unique builds rather than overall progression.

Crafting Guide: What to Make and When

One of the standout features in Devil Hunter is crafting. Higher-tier weapons require increasing amounts of devil materials:

• Common weapons (e.g., Combat Knife, Shibuki): moderate cost
• Uncommon weapons (e.g., Locust Knife, Razorfang, Model: UZI): increased devil flesh requirements
• Rare weapons (e.g., Velvet Knife, Cobalt Bloom, Scarlet Queen): a significant step up in stats
• Epic / Mythic weapons (e.g., Kasaka’s Fang, Kuchigatana): best in class

Tips to Speed Up Weapon Progression

Regularly Check the Black Market

• Refreshes every 15 minutes
• Offers rare materials and weapons
• Save money specifically for materials, not cosmetic items

Farm Devil Flesh Efficiently

Devil Flesh is essential for crafting. You can farm this by:

• Repeating missions like Aftermath Detail which have high flesh drop rates
• Buying flesh directly from the Black Market
• Participating in raids that drop uncommon or rare devil parts

Max Weapon Proficiency Faster

Use methods like the Katana Man Raid parry technique to rapidly boost weapon proficiency XP – essential for unlocking higher weapon skills.

Progression in Devil Hunter isn’t just about leveling up – it’s about choosing the right weapons, mastering them, and crafting the ones that define your build. Start with guns for safety, explore heavy weapons for boss fights, and maximize your weapon proficiency to unlock powerful skills.
