Melee and Ranged Weapons: How They Differ

Brotato weapons fall into two groups, and the difference changes how each one fights. Melee weapons swing or thrust and can hit several enemies in their path, then return to you after a short pause. Thrust weapons strike in a straight line, while sweep weapons arc wide around your character. Ranged weapons fire projectiles that usually hit one enemy, though bounce and pierce effects can let them hit more, and they generally deal more damage to a single target and attack faster.

The two types also grow differently. Melee weapons generally scale with Melee Damage and ranged weapons with Ranged Damage, and your Range stat counts in full for a ranged weapon but only half for a melee one. That makes Range matter more for ranged weapons.

How Brotato Weapon Stats and Tiers Work

Each weapon has its own numbers, including base damage, how quickly it attacks, a critical hit chance and multiplier, reach, and knockback. Some weapons also have lifesteal, which heals you when you land hits. Weapons come in up to four tiers, from Tier I up to Tier IV, and each step up adds damage and raises the price.

What makes a weapon grow during a run is scaling. Each one is tied to particular stats, such as Melee Damage, Ranged Damage, Engineering or Attack Speed, and it gets stronger as you collect those. At 80% scaling, for example, 10 points of Melee Damage adds 8 damage. A weapon only gains from the stats it's tied to, so check those before you commit to a pick.

Where to Get Weapons in Brotato

The shop is the only place weapons come from. Loot crates and chests drop items instead, so you spend Materials, the game's currency, between waves to buy weapons. Most shop slots have about a 35% chance of being a weapon, and the rest are items, so the mix changes from shop to shop.

Higher tiers become more likely as the run goes on. Tier I weapons can appear from the first wave, Tier II from the second, Tier III from the fourth and Tier IV from the eighth. A few weapons skip the lowest tiers, so their first copy in the shop is already a higher tier.

The shop also leans toward what you already carry. About 20% of weapon offers match a weapon type you own, and 15% match a class you own. That's why early picks tend to keep showing up. You can reroll the shop to refresh its offers, but each reroll costs more Materials than the last, and the price resets with each new shop.

How to Combine Brotato Weapons Into Higher Tiers

Two identical weapons of the same tier can be combined into one weapon a tier higher, so two Tier I copies become a single Tier II. You can do this yourself with weapons you're holding. If your slots are full, buying an identical copy of a weapon you own merges the two automatically, and combining stops at Tier IV.

Merging isn't always the best move, though. Each weapon you hold attacks on its own, so two lower-tier copies can add up to more total damage than one merged copy, which matters against big swarms of enemies.

How Weapon Classes Add Bonuses

Weapons are grouped into classes, such as Blade, Blunt, Explosive, Gun and Heavy. Holding several weapons from the same class unlocks a bonus that grows with each extra weapon, up to six. Two Gun weapons add 10 range, three add 20, and so on, while Explosive weapons enlarge explosions and Blade weapons add melee damage and lifesteal.

Because a weapon can count toward more than one class, a single pick can help two bonuses at once. The Nuclear Launcher, for example, is both Heavy and Explosive.

Picking Brotato Weapons That Fit Your Build

The best weapon depends on your character and build. A ranged build that stacks Range and Ranged Damage will want different weapons than a melee build that leans on Melee Damage and lifesteal. Legendary weapons such as the Chain Gun, Gatling Laser, Excalibur and Scythe only show up at Tier IV, so you'll need a later shop to find them.

FAQ

How many weapons can you hold in Brotato?

Most characters can carry up to six at once. One-Armed holds only one weapon, Multitasker can hold 12, and Baby can hold up to 24, one for each level. Bull can't use weapons at all.

Do Brotato weapons aim on their own?

Yes. Weapons fire automatically by default, and a manual aiming option is available if you'd rather aim yourself.

Can you sell weapons in Brotato?

You recycle them instead. By default, recycling returns 25% of a weapon's current price in Materials. The Recycling Machine raises that to 60%, and Entrepreneur's bonus can push it to 85%.

Can every character use every weapon?

No. Ranger and Renegade can't use melee weapons, while Dwarf, Gladiator, Knight and Ogre can't use ranged ones. Arms Dealer gets weapons at a 95% discount, but all of its weapons are destroyed each time it enters a shop.
