With 12 weapons to pick from, it can be difficult to determine what should be picked up in Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. Depending on the class picked, certain weapons can thrive with the unique skills players will have. These are the best weapons for each situation.

Dissent’s Bane

UsingLight Ammo, this Submachine Gun might be difficult to use for players not used to heavy recoil. Its strength lies in its fire rate and can be used to great effect for players using the Auto Fire Shooting Mode. The weapon’s sight is perfect for mid-ranged combat and hip firing with the weapon is perfect in enclosed spaces. Players unable to find a Shotgun will still find no trouble in close quarters encounters between using theDissent’s Baneand their Melee Weapon.

Executionioner Gamma

Sniper Rifles aren’t for everyone, but with practice and patience, theExecutioner Gammacan end fights quickly. Unlike the Mark 5 Sniper Rifle, the Executioner Gamma is a bolt action weapon that rewards precision. It is especially useful for fighting non player enemies such as theBombas it is possible to lay prone and fight from a large distance. Heavy Ammo is shared betweenAssault Riflesand won’t be hard to find so players won’t have to worry about using their ammo to level up quickly. TheMonk’sMana Wallcan give players a much needed way of defending themselves while staying perched in their sniping spot.

Eclipse Eater

The Shotgun meta in Battle Royales is a popular one and Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier hasn’t escaped it. TheEclipse Eateris a pump action Shotgun with a devastating amount of damage. It doesn’t have as high a fire rate as the Model S-7 but it doesn’t punish players too badly for missing their shots. Paired with theWarriororNinja, it can be exactly what is needed to rush enemies and catch them off guard.

Melee Weapons

Melee should not be underestimated in Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. TheMonk’s Inner StrengthTrait allows players to heal themselves as they deal damage. Melee weapons are also the best course of action when taking advantage of an opponent who is reloading while in close quarters.

Magic

Materiaand the ability to stack them to improve magic is one of the most powerful components in the game.Cureis purely supportive, however, spells likeComet,Blizzard, orFireare some of the best ways to make an enemy move out of position, deal damage, or use it as a means of escape.
