Vae Victis: Weapons

The weapon roster

Vae Victis has its own weapon list. Ammy, who “put the numbers on the guns and launchers”, posted it on the Workshop discussion page with the Pack-a-Punch name of every weapon and what the upgrade changes. The team reworked the balance in the update of January 29, 2024: base damage rose across the roster, and most weapons lost part of their headshot multiplier, so that headshots matter less.

Weapons come from the Mystery Box, the loot chests and the weapon lockers (see below). No source lists wall weapons or their prices.
