Frostrail is designed around ranged combat where ammunition and repairs compete with the rest of the crew's survival budget. Published material names the Pipe Rifle and Bolt-Action Rifle and describes pistols, shotguns, rifles, machine guns and basic melee as weapon families.

Only the fields visible in current official material are shown below. Older pre-alpha values are not merged into the current beta record, and unnamed guns stay unnamed.

How to read the numbers

The Bolt-Action Rifle values are a record of a published pre-release screen, not a promise of Q4 2026 balance. A newer build can change damage, clip size, durability, recipe inputs or part effects.

Why there is no tier list

A useful tier list needs comparable live-build values, ammunition economy, repair cost, enemy breakpoints and repeated play. One complete screen is not enough to rank the full arsenal.

Sources and context

Official material establishes game facts. Community threads are labeled because a player report is evidence of a question or workaround, not a developer guarantee.
