The Sinking City 2 Weapons

Core classes first, not a 400-row wiki

Calvin Rafferty is not a walking armoury. The pack is finite — survival is why a second shotgun can be a liability. Carry the class you can feed. Stash the rest. Soft drops adapt toward the gun you are already starving, which is another reason to pick one everyday firearm instead of rotating three hungry mags.

A community walkthrough (theRadBrad, full-game intro) loots .45 handgun ammo in the opening and later a shotgun with two modification slots. Treat those as class proof, not as invented official names. Public achievement lists also prove a rifle and a grenade launcher exist — see achievements. Pickup rooms stay TBA until a live pin is logged.

Melee is real, and it is not this list

Official copy names melee beside firearms. Preview notes an axe attachment option on a shotgun. Neither fact is a melee wiki. Do not hunt a fake named blade list on this page. Pair the gun you commit to with builds and talents; swing when a host is winded, not as a stamina RPG.

Related searches still ask for “Sinking City tommy gun,” “revolver,” and “best weapons.” Tommy here starts as Tektite Tommy if you pre-ordered. A separate world SMG may exist — location TBA. “Best” is the gun you can restock. There is no verified S-tier sheet.

Pre-order is not Premium

Standard that still lists Chthonic, Deluxe, and Premium can all include the three guns. Deluxe adds the Arkham Field Kit (including extra Dream Essence on talents). Premium adds Holloway Manor and Bucking Bronco — a different revolver, not a fourth Chthonic name. Do not skip Shale Mary because you plan to buy Premium later.

Feed one Chthonic class, not all three

Owning three named guns is not a reason to upgrade all three. The opening beginner guide already treats the pistol as the street default and shotgun / SMG / Tommy as swarm insurance. If Shale Mary is your handgun, that is the everyday spend. Breakwater and Tektite Tommy wait in the Safe Room until the next room actually asks for them.

A “Sinking City tommy gun” search that wants a world pin is not answered by inventing a Fish Market crate. Tektite Tommy is the confirmed named SMG. Any extra Tommy location stays TBA.

Optional means optional

Investigations never gate the main story — investigations. Holloway Manor is the Premium example of that rule plus a named revolver. If you do not own Premium, this page will not send you to a pirate “Bronco spawn.” Play Standard. Feed the handgun you have.

Do not hold the opening for a revolver

A first-hours Calvin who waits on Holloway Manor is walking Arkham with a starved starter. Unlock a Safe Room, stock pistol ammo, then decide whether two hours of manor puzzles are worth the pack. Kane attachments are for the revolver you actually brought home, not a reason to ignore Breakwater’s shotgun job.

Related “Sinking City revolver” searches that mean TSC1 can skip this row. TSC2’s named revolver on this wiki is Bucking Bronco until a recapture adds another.

One everyday gun beats three +1s

Soft drops lean toward the ammo you are already missing. If you spray Tommy on every puppet, the world feeds Tommy and starves the pistol you needed for the next district. The beginner guide already prices a typical opening Slither host at about six body shots or about three weak-point hits (community-observed, HP TBA). That math only works if the gun in hand is one you can restock.

Shotgun is insurance, not a personality

Weapons feel punchy — shotgun especially, in preview notes — and combat can still feel clunky. Running away remains a legal strategy on enemies. A Breakwater clear that empties the heal stack is a failed commit. Pair the gun with a build after the Safe Room loop is automatic, not after a ranked list told you Tommy was S-tier.

Chests first, bench second

You do not need a named smith NPC to start improving a gun. Walk the district, pry the special chest, and come back through a shortcut. Investigations pay safer routes and upgrades when you can spare them — they still never gate the story. If the next chest wants a puzzle, puzzles is the solve page; this page only cares that the upgrade goes on the firearm you actually shoot.

Attachments are not a second arsenal

Kane parts ride Bucking Bronco. Cutter’s Sturdy Stock, if your recapture confirms it, is a shotgun stock with a back-shot bonus — qualitative, community-observed, not a damage formula. An axe-on-shotgun attachment is a preview fact, not a melee wiki. Slot an attachment on the committed class; do not open a second gun fantasy because a stock dropped.

When the upgrade loop is clear, leftover questions are the FAQ — then weak points on enemies and the kit on builds.
