SAND: Raiders of Sophie Weapons Guide
The best early weapon is the one that lets you make fewer mistakes. New players should judge weapons by range, recovery, and how easily the weapon lets them leave after a single safe hit.
What to Compare
- Range: can you hit without standing inside the enemy's strongest response?
- Recovery: can you move after attacking, or are you locked in place?
- Resource cost: does the upgrade compete with a survival improvement?
- Route fit: does it help the area you are actually farming now?
For first clears, consistent safe damage usually beats a higher ceiling weapon that punishes missed timing.
