Killshot is a mech that can be classified as a glass cannon. It is extremely fast, with a great dash ability. However, it has very weak armor, especially on the back. Therefore, using Killshot well takes time to master, as the player needs to rely on the speed and agility of the mech to stay alive in this competitive FPS game.

6 Arc Torrents

Long Range Taser

Using Arc Torrents on Killshot can work well, as the speed of the mech means the player can often stay well out of range of incoming attacks. Even though Arc Torrents are classified as close-quarters weapons, they still have considerable range, up to 61 meters at max levels.

5 Missile Racks

Bigger Booms

Missile Racks Are Good Weapons For Killshot In Mech Arena
  • Rarity: Epic
  • Energy Cost: 8
  • Type: Missile
  • Perk: Alpha Strike
  • Traits: N/A
  • Fire Rate: 200 RPM
  • Rounds: 6
  • Reload Speed: 10 Seconds
  • Optimal Range: 0–150 meters
  • Max Range: 150 meters
  • Accuracy: AoE

Missile Racks are highly potent missile-type weapons. These weapons have a considerable range of approximately 150 meters, but it is recommended to use them within 50 meters due to their slow projectile speed.

These are some of the trickier weapons to use well with Killshot. However, once mastered, they can be completely devastating. Once again, the speed of Killshot gives the player the ability to get into position fast, fire off a full barrage, then retreat and reload, in this co-op FPS.

4 Shotguns

Up Close And Personal

Shotguns Are Good Weapons For Killshot In Mech Arena
  • Rarity: Uncommon
  • Energy Cost: 2/4/8
  • Type: Close Quarters
  • Perk: Wide Hit Cone
  • Traits: Point Blank, Low Fire Rate
  • Fire Rate: 75 RPM
  • Rounds: 5
  • Reload Speed: 6.8 seconds
  • Optimal Range: 0-19 meters
  • Max Range: 39 meters
  • Accuracy: Low

Shotguns are exceptionally powerful at short distances, with the Shotgun 8 capable of inflicting up to 40,000 damage when used within 20 meters with a full magazine. A five-star shotgun equipped with rare implants can achieve a maximum range of up to 51 meters, which significantly exceeds typical close-range weaponry in Mech Arena.

Killshot is almost the perfect mech to mount shotguns on. Tactically, it should be very obvious how the player needs to use this setup. Killshot has a dash ability and very high speed, so dash in, unload fully on an opponent at point-blank range, then retreat. Rinse and repeat.

3 Javelin Racks

Guided Rockets

Javelin Racks Are Good Weapons For Killshot In Mech Arena
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Energy Cost: 4/6/8/12/16
  • Type: Guided
  • Perk: Auto Targeting
  • Fire Rate: 600 RPM
  • Rounds: 4/6/1/8/10
  • Optimal Range: 16-75 meters
  • Max Range: 75 meters
  • Accuracy: Extremely High

Javelin Racks are uncommon guided weapons, distinguished by their lock-on feature, shared only with the Helix Rack in the game. They require a target lock before firing. Once locked, they launch a barrage of missiles that travel in an arc, striking the designated target from above. This trajectory allows the missiles to bypass cover, enabling mechs to remain safely shielded while attacking.

Mounting Javelin Racks on Killshot is one of the most popular builds in the game. The speed and agility of Killshot means the player can leave cover, lock on their weapons, and then head straight back to cover before firing a full barrage. If done properly, no enemy mechs will have time to target the player.

2 Carbines

Burst Fire Weaponry

Carbines Are Good Weapons For Killshot In Mech Arena
  • Rarity: Legendary
  • Energy Cost: 4/6/8/12/16
  • Type: Assault
  • Perk: Precision, Low Fire Rate
  • Fire Rate: 100 RPM
  • Rounds: 50
  • Reload Speed: 6.2 seconds
  • Optimal Range: 0-30 meters
  • Max Range: 120 meters
  • Accuracy: Medium High

Carbines are classified as assault weapons. They launch high-impact projectiles at a moderate rate and offer considerable accuracy, ensuring that shots align closely with the aiming point. However, due to the relatively low velocity of the projectiles, there is a possibility that fast-moving targets may evade them before impact.

For Killshot, Carbines are another hit-and-run style weapon. Dash into range, unload the full magazine and then retreat into cover for the reload. Carbines have more range than other weapons that use this tactic for Killshot, making them a little more flexible.

1 Fragment Guns

Super Shotguns

Fragment Guns Are Good Weapons For Killshot In Mech Arena
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Energy Cost: 14
  • Type: Close Quarters
  • Perk: Wide Hit Cone
  • Fire Rate: 75 RPM
  • Rounds: 6
  • Reload Speed: 6 seconds
  • Optimal Range: 0-11 meters
  • Max Range: 27 meters
  • Accuracy: Low

Fragment Guns are like beefed-up Shotguns. They differ in two primary ways. Firstly, they are even closer range than shotguns, being effective up to 11 meters from the target. Secondly, they do much more damage than Shotguns.

This is the quintessential weapon for Killshot. It plays to the mech’s strengths perfectly. The player can dash into close range of a target, unload their weapons, and then take stock. In most cases, a single mech won’t survive a full magazine from Fragment Guns, so the player will have time to make their next move. In the rare case where the target is still standing, the player can dash back into cover.
