Best Weapon upgrades

[Alejandrovix]

Title

I'm thinking about upgrading grenade launcher and sniper, and i don't know what upgrades to pick. What do you recommend?

[Schalimah]

Tranq on the grenade launcher.
Damage or shock on the sniper.
But I personally prefer the net gun and hush dart.

[Kaerius]

Yeah tranq grenade launcher (or gravity). I like the tranq shotgun, at least until I get the steel net gun upgrade.
I went with the basic upgrades for the sniper, fire sniper is probably stronger though(I just didn't have the special resources).

I was not talking about early game. Tranq grenade is useless once you have steel net update for example.

Tranqs are still useful for knocking out sharks, which will laugh off steel nets.

Not really. Net gun can't catch big shark.

I totaly owned the sharks with the triple-shot gun und the stun upgrade. As far as i understand it, every dart has a 40% chance to stun the fish. So, use it like a home defens shotgun in close combat!

i think fire sniper level 3 is the best.
it kills every type of sharks with 1 or 2 bullets.
and its range is so long as good to avoid shark's attack.

Better than the combo Sniper? I dont have the materials to do them so i cannot compare

The tranquilizer weapons are the best since you generally want higher quality fish. The Steel Net Gun is the best gun in the game by a long shot, but you need to fully upgrade it for it to be so excellent.

The tranquilizer underwater rifle is the most useful for catching sharks since you have the most shots/chances to put them to sleep.

I never got much use out of the grenade launchers since I don't want to kill the fish/sharks if I can avoid it.

The Poison sniper is nice for dealing damage to bosses.

[AquaX]

Modified hush dart is the best for capturing large fish.

Steel net gun for any smaller fishes or those 3 specific ground lovers.

Death sniper for if you want to kill every predator in existence from safety.

[I8UrCake]

Best weapon upgrades:

Steel net gun for groups of enemies, crabs, and the stargazer if you time your shot to when it's not buried

Modified Hush Dart for Sharks and precision shots on fish.

Tranquilizer grenade launcher: best alternative to net gun with 0 damage and multiple sleep procs at 40%

Triple Axel (any damage variant) high damage at the risk of being close.

Sticky bomb launcher can be upgraded to sleep like the grenade launcher or adjusted to have a grenade launcher with less drop.

There may be more but this is based on my experience with the guns.

[Captain Nerdiepie]

1x normal rifle or flame sniper will kill everything this game easily if maxed out. You can even facetank klaus without dodging and win a DPS race.

Both tranquilizer and netgun are needed for 3 stars.

here i am trying to figure if i'm just not far enough into the game progress to upgrade any weapon...

[DarkenDragon]

so a lot of comments here are for end game, but you dont unlock many of these things until very late in the game. I would suggest the following.

start off with the net or hush darts. they are great early game to capture fish alive so that you can have the highest quality fish. the net for smaller schools of fish but not aggressive fish, the hush dart for aggressive medium fish.

if you can dodge the sharks well enough, you dont need any of the other weapons, upgrade your harpoon instead and you should be fine. but if you cant, then which ever weapon you enjoy using is fine. though killing with a weapon will most likely cause the fish be a 1 star I believe (haven't done this in a while) but killing with a harpoon is 2 stars.

once you unlock the drone, you'll want a tranq weapon like the tranq rifle. the hush darts wont be effective against sharks and large predator fish but the tranq weapons will have a chance to put them to sleep and thus once a sleep, you can call the drone to pick them up and get 3 star. though if you're lucky enough, you can also get tranq harpoons and they do the job just as well, but finding them may not be reliable.

then once you unlock the blacksmith, it'll give further upgrade and thats when you can make the modified hush dart (3rd upgrade) which will allow you to reliably 2 shot any predator fish to put them to sleep (instead of using a rifle that has a chance to put them to sleep) or you can use the steel trap net gun to capture medium agressive fish like tuna, marlin, stargazers and the crabs.

hope this is more helpful for newer players.

I love
Thunderbolt gun for tuna schools.
Steel net gun for stargazer/crabs/jellies.
Ice gun for the lols.
Sticky bomb tranq when i feel lazy.
