Competitive first-person shooters have been a popular genre going back to Unreal Tournament which was released in 1999. So it is uncommon for new multiplayer FPS games to bring anything really new to the table. Pixel Gun 3D does though.

These pixel graphics games are great options for gamers looking to replay classic-looking games with different graphics than most AAA games.

The Tactical Rifle comes equipped with a standard scope, making it decent at medium ranges as well. Overall, this is a solid weapon choice for any map. However, the ammo capacity lets this weapon down slightly, so don’t miss it.

7 Minigun Shotgun

Odd Shotgun With Low Damage And High Rate Of Fire

Minigum Shotgun Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • Damage: 30 body, 42 head
  • Fire rate: 95
  • Ammo: 15
  • Mobility: 55

The Minigun Shotgun in Pixel Gun 3D is a bit of an oxymoron. It flies in the face of everything players expect from the shotgun, completely reversing the normal trope. This is a low-damage, but high rate of fire weapon, which seems a little crazy for a shotgun.

In the right hands, this odd weapon can be absolutely devastating up close. However, the low ammo count doesn’t really match up with this weapon's ethos. The low mobility can be a problem too, at times.

6 Mega Gun

A Tribute To Mega Man

Mega Gun Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 158
  • Fire rate: 97
  • Ammo: 25
  • Mobility: 65

At first glance, players think this is something of a joke weapon. Yes, it is based on one of the weapons used by Mega Man, but this doesn’t mean it is just an easter egg. This is a serious weapon and deserves a place on this list.

The Mega Gun comes with a scope as standard, although it is only a 4x magnification one, making it tricky to use at anything over medium range. The weapon also does a small amount of blast damage at the point of impact.

5 Prehistoric Shotgun

A Solid Shotgun

Prehistoric Shotgun Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 97
  • Fire rate: 78
  • Ammo: 4
  • Mobility: 75

This weapon does everything players would expect from a shotgun in any game. It combines decent short-range damage and an above-average rate of fire. And with 75 mobility, the player should have no problem closing to shotgun range.

Players who enjoy the charm of pixel graphics should enjoy these creative strategy games.

But like all shotguns in games, this weapon only has a very small ammo load, and this can be a problem. The player will likely find themselves running out of ammo in a very short time. Therefore, the Prehistoric Shotgun in Pixel Gun 3D is best paired with a good sidearm.

4 Gum Rifle

A Pink Rifle That Shoots Gum

Gum Rifle Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 128
  • Fire rate: 74
  • Ammo: 6
  • Mobility: 65

The Gum Rifle is a good example of the way that the developers of Pixel Gun 3D don’t seem to want players to take things too seriously. With its loud, pink model, and shooting pink balls of gum, this is both a fun weapon to use and deadly when used properly.

When a player is hit with a gumball, there is a small explosion and a comic animation. A small number of additional gumballs will be generated at the point of impact as well.

3 Secret Forces Rifle

A Classic Assault Rifle

Secret Forces Rifle Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 163
  • Fire rate: 98
  • Ammo: 50
  • Mobility: 85

Assault rifles are the staple of many first-person shooters. They combine average damage, range, and mobility into a package that is greater than the sum of its past. The Secret Forces Rifle in Pixel Gun 3D does exactly this.

It comes fitted with a x4 scope as standard, making it effective out to medium range, and in the hands of a good player, beyond. With good ammo capacity, this rifle would suit players who prefer the spray-and-pray approach, rather than accurately placing each shot.

2 Future Police Rifle

Top Tier Assault Rifle

Future Police Rifle Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 117
  • Fire rate: 99
  • Ammo: 60
  • Mobility: 65

There is a reason this rifle is so high on this list; it is absolutely deadly at all ranges if the player is skilled enough to use it properly. It has excellent damage and a very high rate of fire, with enough ammo to last for most of a match.

Games that blend an open world with pixel graphics can be just as fun as any modern AAA title in the same genre.

The Future Police Rifle has an inbuilt suppressor and is silent when fired. Making it a fantastic short-range weapon to use from a hidden position. Mobility is good too, for chasing down and finishing off enemy players.

1 Neutron Pulsator

High Weapon Mobility

Neutron Pulsator Primary Weapon Pixel Gun 3D

Stats:

  • DPS: 144
  • Fire rate: 100
  • Ammo: 40
  • Mobility: 100

Players who enjoy moving rapidly around the map can’t go wrong with the Neutron Pulsator. This is the top weapon in Pixel Gun 3D. It has very high damage and an insanely high rate of fire. It is only slightly let down by its low ammo count.

The recoil is very low, making multiple-shot placements a breeze. Most high-level players will carry this primary weapon in Pixel Gun 3D. It is by far the best of the bunch when it comes to sheer killing power in this battle-royale-style game.
