Combat encounters in Starboard Studios' Western open world depend heavily on weapon range, fire rate, and reload mechanics. Players moving between PvP duels and frontier survival require firearms that reliably drop opponents without wasting ammunition. Finding the best loadout means balancing high burst damage against cycle speed across different encounter distances.
What Are the Best Guns in The Wild West?
The Paterson Navy is the premier sidearm revolver across all combat scenarios due to its flawless base accuracy. In competitive shootouts, landing shots reliably decides the duel, and the Paterson Navy eliminates random projectile spread entirely when firing aimed shots. While it commands steep pricing at the auction house, its performance at medium to long range remains unmatched among revolvers.
The Lancaster Pistol serves as an exceptional burst-damage secondary that rewards aggressive marksmanship. Its four-barrel volley dishes out 103 damage on headshots and 45 on body hits, allowing a gunslinger to drop an opponent in two quick clicks. The weapon reloads in 3.4 seconds, though damage drops off at extended distances, making it best suited for close and medium quarters.
The Hartford Rifle stands out as the game's most reliable high-damage marksman platform. Delivering 75 body damage and 90 headshot damage with 100% accuracy, it finishes engagements before targets can react. Its rapid 1.2-second single-shot reload cycle allows steady pressure from safety, easily outperforming bulkier sniper rifles during fast-paced skirmishes.
| Weapon | Weapon Type | Headshot Damage | Body Damage | Reload Time | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paterson Navy | Revolver | 80–84 | 38–40 | 6.0–6.2s | 100% |
| Lancaster Pistol | Pistol | 103 | 45 | 3.4s | High |
| Hartford Rifle | Rifle / Marksman | 90 | 75 | 1.2s | 100% |
| Schwarzlose Prototype | Pistol | 63 | 26 | 2.5s | 97% |
| Winchester Rifle | Rifle | 70 | 35 | 6.0s | 98% |
| Model 3 Revolver | Revolver | 40 | 20 | 5.2s | 98% |
| Mule Shotgun | Shotgun | 30 | 15 | 3.2s | 75% |
Which Store Guns Give the Best Value for Budget Players?
The Model 3 Revolver is the most cost-effective sidearm in the game, selling for just $350 at regular gun shops. While its individual body hit deals only 20 damage, its 98% accuracy and rapid fanning capability let players shred targets in close-quarters duels. Beginners short on cash can use this weapon effectively by mastering fan-shooting and hip-fire strafing.
The Linc's Bolt Action Rifle provides an accessible high-precision primary for $4,000. It deals 80 damage to the head and 40 to the body across long distances with a 99% accuracy rating and a 4.3-second reload. Players practicing long-distance marksmanship find it far more forgiving and economical than competitive auction snipers.
The Mule Shotgun remains the standard reliable option for close-range brawls, delivering 30 headshot damage per spread across its two barrels with a 3.2-second reload. Paired with a budget sidearm like the LeMat Revolver ($1,200), it covers interior defense without requiring extensive farming.
| Weapon Choice | Best Situation | Purchase Cost / Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Model 3 Revolver | Close-range spam and fanning backup | $350 at General Store |
| Linc's Bolt Action | Long-range target picking and budget sniping | $4,000 at Gun Store |
| Winchester Rifle | Versatile mid-range run-and-gun combat | Standard gun store cash |
| Paterson Navy | Elite precision dueling across all ranges | Auction House bids or trading |
| Mule Shotgun | Building clearing and mobile close-range defense | Low gun store cost |

Which Close-Range Firearms Deal the Highest Damage?

In close-quarters indoor environments, switching to the Kukri guarantees instant eliminations against opponents caught reloading their primary firearms.
The 1855 Revolving Shotgun provides five rapid shots with 81% base accuracy, dealing 22 headshot and 12 body damage per pellet spread.
