2	Aether Blade 1 hand/Offhand Physical	Psyker, Hierophant	Aether Strike • Single Target	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Amazingly, Aether Strike doesn't need a target, so it is a zero heat, spammable movement skill without a noticeable cooldown. Hard to beat!
3	Arc Blade 1 hand Heat	Assassin	Bladestorm • Armour Breaking • High Suppression • Death Cult Combo • Single Target	Voltaic Arc • Chain [AoE] • Shock • Burning [DoT]	Whirlwind Attack • Area Effect [AoE] • Channeled • Fleshbane • Slow • Weak vs Armoured	Voltaic Leap • Area Effect [AoE] • Stun • Shock • Breacher	Bladestorm has Armour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking, and has 8% increased damage.	Whirlwind attack causes Shock instead of Slow, loses Weak vs Armoured, and has 14% increased damage.	Whirlwind attack is a channeled skill that allows you to move (at 50% speed) while attacking. I typically just hold down the button for it and don't bother with other skills.
4	Arc Sword 2 hand Heat	Assassin	Voltaic Strike • Chain [AoE] • Slow • Lightning Combo • Burning [DoT]	Thunder Slide • Knockdown • Knockback • Breacher • Area Effect [AoE]	Voltaic Backflip • Stun • Shock • Area Effect [AoE] • Breacher	Shock Nova • Area Effect [AoE] • Stun • Shock	Voltaic Strike has 25% increased damage.	Shock Nova gains High Suppresion, and has 25% decreased cooldown.	Two movement skills make this weapon great, but the best part is that Voltaic Strike is a spammable AoE.
5	Assassin Power Sword 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Bladestorm • Better Criticals • Death Mark • Death Cult Combo • Single Target	Blade Bite • Cone Effect [AoE] • Better Criticals • Death Mark • Death Cult Combo • Bleed [DoT]	Phasing Assault • Armour Breaking • Stun • Shock • Single Target	Serpent Strike • Area Effect [AoE] • Breacher • Death Mark • Poison [DoT]	Bladestorm has 23% increased damage and 20% decreased cooldown.	Phasing Assault has 25% decreased cooldown.	Two movement skills make this weapon great, but the best part is that Blade Bite is a spammable AoE with bleed.
6	Autogun 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Fleshbane • Spread [Tight] • Weak vs Armoured • Single Target	Full Auto • Salvo • Fleshbane • Spread [Moderate] • Weak vs Armoured • High Suppression • Single Target	Aimed Shot • Aimed • Knockback • Better Criticals • Single Target	Shoot and Retreat • Salvo • Slow • Spread [Moderate] • Weak vs Armoured • Single Target	Full Auto gains Spread [Moderate], and has a 37.5% decreased cooldown.	Aimed Shot gains High Suppression, plus has 14% increased damage and 33% decreased cooldown.	Aimed Shot is too slow, while Shoot and retreat moves back too fast to keep hitting enemies. The spread on most skills makes it less effective. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Aimed Shot).
7	Autopistol 1 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Assault • Fleshbane • Spread [Tight] • Weak vs Armoured • Single Target	Full Auto • Salvo • Assault • Fleshbane • Spread [Wide] • Weak vs Armoured • High Suppression • Single Target	Crippling Salvo • Salvo • Assault • Stun • Shock • Spread [Moderate] • Single Target	Assault Gunnery • Salvo • Assault • Slow • Spread [Moderate] • Weak vs Armoured • Single Target	Short Burst gains Armour Breaking, and loses Weak vs Armoured.	Crippling Salvo gains Vulnerabililty [Physical], loses Spread [Moderate], and has 40% increased damage.	Assault Gunnery moves you towards the target. Every skill is single target and they all are insanely weak. This might be the worst weapon in the game. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
8	Biomantic Sword 1 hand/Offhand Heat	Psyker, Hierophant	Force Smite • Shock • Vulnerability [Warp] • Better Criticals	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	The medium cooldown means you can't rely on this attack very often, and I can't imagine why someone would take this over Aetherblade.
9	Blessed Blade & Rod 2 hand Physical	Sororitas	Onslaught • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Shock • Slow • Vulnerability [General] • Bleed [DoT]	Blade Dash • Knockdown • Knockback • Vulnerability [Physical] • Single Target • Bleed [DoT]	Class Slot	Class Slot	Onslaught loses Shock and Slow.	None	One of the only ways to apply general vulnerability without signums, plus a spammable AoE, bleed, and a movement skill makes this one of the best weapons in the game.
10	Bolt Pistol 1 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Single Shot • Armour Breaking • Assault • Vulnerability [Physical] • Spread [Tight] • Breacher • Single Target	Full Auto • Salvo • Assault • Fleshbane • Spread [Wide] • High Suppression • Breacher • Single Target	Concussive Shot • Assault • Knockdown • Knockback • Better Criticals • Single Target	Suppressive Fire • Area Effect [AoE] • Assault • High Suppression	Full Auto no longer has a Spread [Wide], but has 25% decreased damage.	Suppressive Fire gains Knockback.	Suppressive Fire's damage is a bit low, and there are no other area effect skills, making this weapon bad. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
11	Bolt Pistol & Chainsword 2 hand Physical and Heat	Sororitas	Eviscerate • Channeled • Pain • Traumatize • Single Target	Full Auto • Salvo • Assault • Fleshbane • Single Target	Assault Leap • Fleshbane • Knockback • Better Criticals • Weak vs Armoured • High Suppression • Castigation • Single Target	Whirlwind of Retribution • Channeled • Salvo • Fleshbane • High Suppression • Whirling Attack	Full Auto gains Area Effect [AoE].	Whirlwind of Retribution has a 25% decreased ammo cost.	Whirlwind of Retribution is a great skill that moves while attacking, but it burns through ammo quickly.
12	Boltgun 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin, Sororitas	Short Burst • Armour Breaking • Vulnerability [Physical] • Breacher • Single Target	Full Auto • Salvo • Fleshbane • Spread [Moderate] • High Suppression • Breacher • Single Target	Aimed Shot • Aimed • Armour Breaking • Knockdown • Knockback • Better Criticals • Single Target	Frag Burst • Area Effect [AoE] • Salvo • Spread [Wide] • Weak vs Armoured • High Suppression	Single Shot has Armour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking.	Fragburst gains Fleshbane and Knockback, plus loses Spead [Wide], and costs 33% decreased ammo (1 less).	Boltgun is probably one of the best ranged weapons, and all of the cooldowns are .5 seconds. Frag Burst is good area effect DPS, and Single Shot applies a vulnerability. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Aimed Shot).
13	Carthean Sword 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Carthean Strike • Armour Piercing • Death Cult Combo • Single Target	Crimson Path • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Channeled • Fleshbane • Needler Toxin • Bleed [DoT]	Severence • Armour Breaking • Stun • Shock • Single Target	Blade Dance • Vulnerability [Physical] • Needler Toxin • Poison [Dot]	Carthean Strike gains Needler Toxin, has 25% increased damage and 20% decreased cooldown.	Blade Dance has 54% increased damage, and 20% decreased cooldown	Crimson Path is a channeled skill that allows you to move while attacking, which is excellent. I don't bother with the other skills.
14	Chainsword 1 hand Physical	Crusader, Hierophant	Eviscerate • Channeled • Fleshbane • Pain • Weak vs Armoured • High Suppression • Traumatize • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Bleed [DoT]	None	None	Eviscerate gains Armour Breaking instead of being Weak vs Armoured.	None	Eviscerate has great single target damage, but that is about it.
15	Chainsword & Rod 2 hand Physical	Sororitas	Mutilate • Channeled • Pain • Traumatize • Single Target	Blinding Strikes • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Channeled • Fleshbane • Blind • Castigation	Class Slot	Class Slot	Mutilate gains High Suppression.	None	Blinding Strikes is a channeled skill that allows you to move (at 85% speed) while attacking, which is excellent. Unfortunately, the periodic nova does consume enrage tokens.
16	Death Cult Blade 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Bladestorm • Better Criticals • Death Mark • Death Cult Combo • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Death Mark • Poison [DoT]	Phasing Assault • Stun • Shock • Death Mark • Single Target	Killing Blow • Armour Breaking	Wide Strike gains Fleshbane, and has 12% increased damage.	Killing Blow has Armour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking, and 40% decreased cooldown.	I don't think this is a bad weapon, but the other two-handed melee assassin weapons are just better.
17	Dialogous Staff Offhand None	Hierophant	Class Slot	Class Slot	[unusable] Class Slot	[unusable] Class Slot	None	None	This is the Retinue focused offhand.
18	Eviscerator 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Sororitas	Eviscerate • Channeled • Armour Breaking • Pain • High Suppression • Traumatize • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Bleed [DoT]	Savage Assault • Cone Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Spinning Blow • Whirling Attack • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Knockback	Wide Strike gains Armour Breaking, plus 5% increased damage and 10% decreased cooldown.	Savage Assault has 12.5% increased damage and 30% decreased cooldown.	Eviscerate has great single target damage. Unfortunately, Savage Assault (which moves forward) and Spinning Blow both knock enemies out of melee range.
19	Exitus Rifle 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Short Burst • Armour Piercing • Stun • Shock • Demolisher • Single Target	Hellfire Shot • Area Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • High Suppression • Burning [DoT]	Sniper Shot • Shield Piercing • Knockdown • Knockback • Better Criticals • Sniper • Single Target	Pervasive Shot • Piercing [AoE] • Armour Breaking • Bleed [DoT]	Hellfire Shot has 25% increased damage.	Sniper Shot has 33% decreased cooldown.	This is probably the best rifle, but that isn't high praise. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Hellfire Shot and Sniper Shot).
20	Flamer 2 hand Heat	Sororitas	Flame Cone • Channeled • Assault • Shred • Flee • Burning [DoT] • Cone Effect [AoE]	Disengaging Stream • Channeled • High Suppression • Burning [DoT] • Cone Effect [AoE]	Scorched Earth • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Phosphorous Splash • Persistent • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Scorched Earth gains .5 Overheat and a 60% decreased cooldown.	Phosphorous Splash gains Knockdown, Knockback and High Suppression, plus has a 64% decreased cooldown.	Flame Cone moves forward and Disengageing Stream moves backwards. With 100% heat cost reduction, all of the AoE makes it a decent weapon.
21	Force Rod 1 hand Heat	Psyker	Fire Bolt • Single Target • Burning [DoT]	Class Slot	Witchfire • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Class Slot	None	None	Fire Bolt has lower damage than other rods, and is single-target, so I don't ever use it.
22	Force Staff 2 hand Physical	Psyker	Force Bolt • Piercing [AoE] • Armour Breaking	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	The piercing and armour breaking make Force Bolt decent. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
23	Force Sword 1 hand/Offhand Physical	Psyker, Hierophant	Force Strike • Armour Breaking • Single Target • Bleed [DoT]	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	The medium cooldown means you can't rely on this attack very often, and I can't imagine why someone would take this over Aetherblade.
24	Grav-Gun 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin	Single Shot • Armour Piercing • Strong vs Armoured • Demolisher • Single Target	Temporal Anomaly • Piercing [AoE] • Stun • Slow • Single Target	Gravity Surge • Channeled • High Suppression	Gravity Implosion • Area Effect [AoE] • Persistent • Slow • Demolisher	Single Shot has 20% increased damage.	Gravity Implosion has no difference listed on the skill tooltip.	Gravity Surge and Gravity Implosion are absurdly weak and the other skills are single target. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Gravity Surge and Gravity Implosion).
25	Grav-Pistol 1 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Single Shot • Armour Piercing • Assault • Strong vs Armoured • Demolisher • Single Target	Temporal Anomaly • Assault • Stun • Slow • Single Target	Gravity Well • Area Effect [AoE] • Persistent • Slow • Demolisher	Gravity Flare • Aura • Knockdown • Knockback	Gravity Well has 45% increased damage.	Gravity Flare has 25% increased damage and 50% decreased cooldown.	Gravity Well has a long cooldown and almost no damge, and Gravity Flare is mostly jump a knockback/down. The rest is single target. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Gravity Well and Gravity Flare).
26	Greataxe 2 hand Physical	Crusader	Strike • Armour Breaking • Single Target • Bleed [DoT]	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • High Suppression • Bleed [DoT]	Spinning Blow • Whirling Attack • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Knockback • Bleed [DoT]	Execute • Armour Breaking • Stun • Better Criticals	Strike has 50% increased damage, but has 15% increased cooldown.	Spinning Blow has 15% increased damage.	Spinning Blow knocks enemies out of melee range, and Execute doesn't really serve a purpose. Probably the worst two-handed melee crusader weapon.
27	Greatsword 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Sororitas	Blade Flurry • Combo • Better Criticals • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • Knockdown • High Suppression • Bleed [DoT]	Crippling Strike • Armour Breaking • Vulnerability [Physical] • Single Target	Spinning Blow • Area Effect [AoE] • Channeled • Knockdown • Slow • Demolisher	Crippling Strike has a 45% decreased cooldown.	Spinning Blow gains Knockback instead of Knockdown, and has 15% increased damage.	Spinning Blow (on this weapon) is a channeled skill that allows you to move (at 75% speed) while attacking, which is excellent. I don't bother with the other skills.
28	Grenade Launcher 2 hand Physical	Crusader	Single Shot • Area Effect [AoE] • Breacher	Short Burst • Area Effect [AoE] • Rapid Fire • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Breacher	Proximity Mine • Area Effect [AoE] • Rapid Fire • Stun • Slow • High Suppression	Airburst Grenade • Area Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • High Suppression	Airburst Grenade gains Extreme Suppression, has 25% increased damage and 40% decrease cooldown.	None	The cooldowns are too long, which makes it clunky to use. Proximity mines are delayed, and are only good against large groups. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (but the extra Proximity Mines automatically explode).
29	Hand Flamer & Brazier 2 hand Heat	Sororitas	Phosphorus Barrage • Channeled • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Focused Burn • Channeled • Armour Breaking • Knockback • High Suppression • Castigation • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Fire Nova • Persistent • High Suppression • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Class Slot	Fire Nova gains Knockdown and Knockback, plus has a 10% decreased cooldown, and 11% decreased damage.	None	Focused Beam moves forward while attacking. Every skill has burning and Area Effect [AoE], as well as two very short cooldowns, making this a solid weapon choice.
30	Hand Flamer & Rod 2 hand Heat	Sororitas	Fire Blast • Knockdown • Knockback • Burning [DoT] • Area Effect [AoE]	Infernal Aegis • Aura • Channeled • Burning [DoT]	Class Slot	Class Slot	Fire Blast has 40% increased overheat, and a 233% increased cooldown.	None	You can move while channeling Infernal Aegis, and it grants 30% supreme damage reduction while damaging enemies around you (which is excellent).
31	Heavy Bolter 2 hand Physical	Crusader	Full Auto • Channeled • Assault • Fleshbane • Spread [Moderate] • High Suppression • Traumatize • Single Target	Concentrated Salvo • Channeled • Armour Breaking • Assault • Spread [Moderate] • High Suppression • Demolisher • Single Target	Disengage • Salvo • Assault • Fleshbane • Slow • Spread [Wide] • Single Target	Hellstorm • Area Effect [AoE] • Channeled • Assault • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Knockback • Weak vs Armoured	Disengage changes from Spread [Wide] to Spread [Tight].	Hellstorm has 40% increased damage.	Great single target damage (and distance), but it lacks AoE. Concentrated Salvo would be excellent if it didn't shoot at the sky whenever it was next to cover or a ramp. Disengage moves you backwards while firing. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
32	Heavy Flamer 2 hand Heat	Crusader	Flame Cone • Cone Effect [AoE] • Channeled • Assault • Shred • Flee • Burning [DoT]	Disengaging Stream • Cone Effect [AoE] • Channeled • High Suppression • Burning [DoT]	Scorched Earth • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Burning [DoT]	Phosphorous Splash • Area Effect [AoE] • Persistent • Burning [DoT]	Scorched Earth gains Fleshbane and persistent and has 67% decreased cooldown.	Phosphorous Splash has 64% decreased cooldown.	Being able to advance or retreat while shooting a fire stream is excellent against melee enemies, and the other two skills deal persistent area damage over time.
33	Inferno Pistol 1 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Single Shot • Vulnerability [Heat] • Breacher • Single Target	Melta Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Burning [DoT]	Melting Ray • Armour Piercing • Demolisher • Single Target	Inferno Beam • Channeled • Barrage • Armour Breaking • Single Target • Burning [DoT]	Melta Blast has 12.5% increased damage and 30% decreased cooldown.	Melting Ray's has 25% decreased overheat (by 1).	Most skills have a short range, and Melta Blast damage is very low.
34	Inferno Pistol & Chainsword 2 hand Physical and Heat	Sororitas	Sweep • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Fleshbane • Castigation	Beam Charge • Channeled • Barrage • Armour Breaking • Single Target • Burning [DoT]	Inferno Pirouette • Vulnerability [Physical] • Vulnerability [Heat] • Burning [DoT]	Inferno Beam • Charged Shot • Armour Breaking • Persistent • Castigation • Single Target • Area Effect [AoE]	Sweep gains Better Criticals.	Inferno Pirouette gains Armour Breaking and Area Effect [AoE], plus has a 33% decreased cooldown.	Beam Charge moves forward while attacking. While it isn't bad, I think there are better options.
35	Lasgun 2 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin	Single Shot • Piercing [AoE] • Vulnerability [Heat] • Better Criticals	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Fleshbane • Spread [Tight] • Single Target	Aimed Shot • Aimed • Better Criticals • Single Target • Burning [DoT]	Hot Shot • Channeled • Barrage • Breacher	Aimed Shot has 21% increased damage	Hot Shot gains Fleshbane and Better Criticals.	Single Shot and Hot Shot are too thin, and there are no other area effect skills, making this weapon bad.
36	Laspistol 1 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Single Shot • Assault • Better Criticals • Single Target	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Assault • Spread [Tight] • Single Target	Aimed Shot • Aimed • Assault • Better Criticals • Single Target	Dual Beams • Channeled • Assault	Single Shot gains Armour Piercing.	Dual Beams gains Better Criticals and has 25% increased damage.	Dual Beams is too thin, and there are no other area effect skills, making this weapon bad.
37	Libram Offhand None	Hierophant	Class Slot	Class Slot	[unusable] Class Slot	[unusable] Class Slot	None	None	This is the Spell focused offhand.
38	Longlas Rifle 2 hand Heat	Assassin	Single Shot • Better Criticals • Single Target	Full Auto • Channeled • Spread [Tight] • Single Target	Sniper Shot • Armour Breaking • Better Criticals • Sniper • Single Target	Prismatic Shot • Piercing [AoE] • Mega Blast	Full Auto gains Armour Breaking, and has 22% increased damage.	Prismatic Shot gains Better Criticals, and has 13% increased damage.	The only skill that isn't single target pierces, which isn't much better. Rifles are bad in general.
39	Melta Gun 2 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin, Sororitas	Single Shot • Vulnerability [Heat] • Breacher • Single Target	Melta Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Burning [DoT]	Melting Ray • Armour Piercing • Demolisher • Single Target	Inferno Beam • Channeled • Barrage • Armour Breaking • Single Target • Burning [DoT]	Melta Blast has 10% increased damage and 20% decreased cooldown.	Inferno Beam improves from Armour Breaking to Amour Piercing and gains 25% increased damage.	Melta Blast doing charge up as indicated in the description, but the area effect is good (and the range is slightly further than the rest of the skills). A decent weapon overall.
40	Multi-Melta 2 hand Heat	Crusader	Single Shot • Armour Breaking • Vulnerability [Heat] • Breacher • Single Target	Melta Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Charged Shot • Burning [DoT]	Overcharged Shot • Piercing [AoE] • Charged Shot • Armour Piercing • Demolisher	Rad Charge • Area Effect [AoE] • Armour Piercing • Persistent • Breacher • Single Target	Single Shot gains Armour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking, and has 10% increased damage.	Rad Charge has 25% increased damage.	Overcharged shot never releases until it is fully charged, but the armour piercing and damage make it great. Two other persistent area effect takes are good, but all three cooldowns are long.
41	Needler Sniper Rifle 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Better Criticals • Spread [Tight] • Needler Toxin • Single Target • Poison [DoT]	Shoot and Retreat • Salvo • Slow • Better Criticals • Spread [Tight] • Needler Toxin • Single Target • Poison [DoT]	Sniper Shot • Restrain • Cellrot • Better Criticals • Sniper • Single Target	Needle Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Hallucination • Needler Toxin • Poison [DoT]	Short Burst gains Fleshbane, and has 30% increased damage.	Needle Blast has 14% increased damage and 37.5% decreased cooldown.	Shoot and Retreat moves backwards while attacking. Rifles are bad in general. Might work with the triple-shot doctrine. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Sniper Shot).
42	Null Rod 1 hand Heat	Assassin	Null Strike • Stun • Shock • Giant Killer • Anti-psyker • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Vulnerability [Heat] • Blind	Null Wave • Path [AoE] • Knockback • Slow • Restrain	Annullment • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • Cellrot • Breacher • Anti-psyker	Null Wave gains Armour Breaking, and has 10% increased damage.	Annullment has 12.5% increased damage and 44% decreased cooldown.	Giant-Killer and Anti-psyker make Null Strike great for single-target, but there isn't much AoE to the weapon.
43	Omnissian Axe Alpha 2 hand Physical	Tech-adept	Strike • Armour Piercing • Single Target	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Lots of construct slots and an armour piercing attack if you want to get in close, though I prefer the Voltaic Axe for non-construct builds.
44	Omnissian Axe Beta 2 hand Physical	Tech-adept	Strike • Armour Piercing • High Suppression • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Armour piercing and Giant-Killer make this an amazing weapon against elites and bosses for non-construct builds. Always have an alpha weapon on swap for the extra construct.
45	Plasma Caliver Alpha 2 hand Heat	Tech-adept	Plasma Arc Shot • Slow • Strong vs Armoured • Single Target	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Lots of constructs slots and a ranged attack make this a safe choice.
46	Plasma Caliver Beta 2 hand Heat	Tech-adept	Short Burst • Area Effect [AoE] • Rapid Fire • Armour Breaking • Slow • Spread [Tight]	Plasma Beam • Channeled • Barrage • Slow • Target Designator	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Use for the target designator tag, which increases the damage the constructs deal to that enemy and focuses their fire. Always have an alpha weapon on swap for the extra construct.
47	Plasma Cannon 2 hand Heat	Crusader	Single Shot • Armour Breaking • Vulnerability [Heat] • Breacher • Single Target	Overdrive Discharge • Slow Projectile • Salvo • Spread [Moderate] • Demolisher • Single Target	Compressed Plasma • Area Effect [AoE] • Slow Projectile • Charged Shot	Plasma Barrage • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Breacher	Compressed Plasma charges up to 500% Damage instead of 375%.	Plasma Barrage has 33% decreased overheat (1 instead of 1.5).	The skills are all too weak, but they do feel enjoyable to use.
48	Plasma Gun 2 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin, Sororitas	Single Shot • Slow Projectile • Fleshbane • Demolisher • Single Target	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Slow Projectile • Armour Breaking • Knockback • Spread [Tight] • Single Target	Focused Bolt • Piercing [AoE] • Slow Projectile • Armour Piercing • Vulnerability [Heat]	Compressed Plasma • Area Effect [AoE] • Charged Shot • Armour Piercing	Short Burst has Amour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking, and has 70% decrease cooldown.	Focused Bolt has 25% increased damage.	Compressed Plasma doesn't deal enough damage to warrant the charge-up time, Focused bolt is too thing, and the other skills are single target.
49	Plasma Pistol 1 hand Heat	Crusader, Assassin, Psyker, Hierophant	Single Shot • Assault • Demolisher • Single Target	Focused Bolt • Armour Piercing • Assault • Vulnerability [Heat] • Demolisher • Single Target	Piercing Strike • Piercing [AoE] • High Suppression	Overcharge • Charged Shot • Knockdown • Knockback • Demolisher • Single Target	Focused Bolt has 15% increased damage and 33% decreased cooldown.	Piercing Strike gains Armor Breaking, but has 25% decreased damage.	Piercing strike is too thin, and there are no other area effect skills, making this weapon bad.
50	Plasma Pistol & Blessed Blade 2 hand Physical and Heat	Sororitas	Strike • Armour Breaking • Shield Piercing • Bleed [DoT]	Triple Burst • Rapid Fire • Assault • Castigation • Single Target • Area Effect [AoE]	Disengage • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • Shock • High Suppression • Castigation	Class Slot	Triple Burst turns into Focused Bolt! It does 100% increased damage, and has a 38% decreased cooldown (so 320% increased DPS). It gains the skill tags: Armour Piercing, Vulnerability [Heat], and Demolisher, plus it loses Rapid Fire and Area Effect [AoE].	None	Strike also adds Castigation Marks. Disengage moves backwards between the pair of attacks.
51	Plasma Pistol & Brazier 2 hand Heat	Sororitas	Ignition Bolt • Assault • Single Target • Area Effect [AoE]	Flame Burst • Piercing [AoE] • High Suppression • Castigation • Area Effect [AoE]	Scorched Earth • Persistent • High Suppression • Burning [DoT]	Class Slot	Ignition Bolt turns into Piercing Strike! It does increased damage (increased DPS) and has the tags: Piercing, Armour Breaking, High Suppression, Single Target, Area Effect [AoE], plus a different description.	None	If Ignition Blot hits a burning enemy it will do Area Effect [AoE], but not otherwise.
52	Power Axe 1 hand Physical	Crusader	Strike • Armour Breaking • High Suppression • Single Target • Bleed [DoT]	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Fleshbane • Knockdown • Slow	None	None	Strike has Armour Piercing instead of Armour Breaking, and gains Better Criticals.	None	Strike has weak single target damage, but is armour breaking. I would only use this if it was my only or best way of getting through armour.
53	Power Halberd 2 hand Physical	Sororitas	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Armour Breaking • High Suppression	Triple Strike • Armour Piercing • Fleshbane • Stun • Castigation • Cone Effect [AoE]	Hook Pull • Pain • Bleed [DoT] • Cone Effect [AoE]	Spinning Blow • Whirling Attack • Armour Breaking • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Castigation	Spinning Blow has a 20% decreased cooldown.	None	Not bad, but there are so many other good options for the Sororitas.
54	Power Hammer 1 hand Physical	Crusader	Strike • Armour Piercing • Knockback • Stun • Single Target	Shockwave • Path [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • Demolisher	None	None	Shockwave has 15% increased damage and 33% decreased cooldown.	None	Strike knocks enemies out of melee range, and the path is too thin and weak.
55	Power Maul 2 hand Physical	Sororitas	Strike • Armour Breaking • Stun • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [Wide] [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • Better Criticals	Pulverizing Strike • Knockback • Stun • Vulnerability [General] • Demolisher • Castigation • Area Effect [AoE]	Whirlwind Smash • Whirling Attack • Armour Breaking • Knockdown • Knockback • Castigation	Strike gains Better Criticals.	Pulverizing Strike gains Knockdown instead of Knockback, and has a 8% decreased cooldown.	Not bad, but there are so many other good options for the Sororitas.
56	Power Sword 1 hand Physical	Crusader	Blade Flurry • Combo • Better Criticals • High Suppression • Single Target	Wide Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Knockback • Pain • Shock • Bleed [DoT]	None	None	Wide Strike gains Fleshbane and 25% increased damage.	None	The combo will deal a ton of damage, but the counter resets every time you use a different attack.
57	Pyrokinetic Staff 2 hand Heat	Psyker	Pyro Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockback • Vulnerability [Heat] • High Suppression	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	A spammable Area Effect with a heat vulnerability make this good option, but there are better options.
58	Radium Carbine Alpha 2 hand Physical	Tech-adept	Short Burst • Rapid Fire • Spread [Tight] • Single Target • Poison [DoT]	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	The spread makes hitting anything small impossible, but is a good way to apply a bunch of DoTs to enemies. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
59	Radium Carbine Beta 2 hand Physical	Tech-adept	Single Shot • Armour Breaking • Knockback • Target Designator • Single Target • Poison [DoT]	Full Auto • Spread [Moderate] • Single Target • Poison [DoT]	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	The best reason to use this weapon is for the target designator tag, which focuses construct fire. Always have an alpha weapon on swap for the extra construct. Works with the triple-shot doctrine.
60	Shotgun 2 hand Physical	Crusader, Assassin	Single Shot • Cone Effect [AoE] • Shred • Knockback • Giant Killer	Burst Shot • Cone Effect [AoE] • Assault • Shred • Knockback • Weak vs Armoured	Flechette Round • Piercing [AoE] • Cone Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Charged Shot • Knockback • Bleed [DoT]	Manstopper Round • Armour Breaking • Knockdown • Knockback • Giant Killer • Single Target	Burst Shot gains Giant Killer and has 13% increased damage.	None	The Giant Killer tags make this weapon one of the best, and burst shot can be spammed with enough cooldown (plus the knockback helps since you are charging forward into enemies). Supposedly works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Single Shot).
61	Sniper Rifle 2 hand Physical	Assassin	Single Shot • Armour Breaking • Knockback • Single Target	Explosive Shot • Area Effect [AoE] • High Suppression	Sniper Shot • Armour Breaking • Knockdown • Knockback • Sniper • Single Target	Shoot and Retreat • Salvo • Stun • Slow • Spread [Tight] • Single Target	Explosive Shot has 25% increased damage.	Sniper Shot has a 33% decreased cooldown.	Shoot and Retreat move backwards while attacking. The weapon doesn't have nearly enough area effect damage, and the one skill that really deals damage (Sniper Shot) takes too long to charge up. Works with the triple-shot doctrine (except Sniper Shot).
62	Storm Shield Offhand Physical	Crusader	Block • Self • Channeled	Shield Charge • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Demolisher	None	None	Shield Charge has 25% increased damage and 40% decreased cooldown.	None	Block is complete unnecessary, but I supposed you could use it with auras and take almost no damage. Shield Charge is bugged in multiplayer, as it doesn't charge to enemies.
63	Suppression Shield Offhand Physical	Crusader	Block • Self • Channeled	Discharge • Aura • Knockdown • Knockback • High Suppression • Breacher	None	None	Discharge has 25% increased damage and 17% decreased cooldown.	None	Block is complete unnecessary, but I supposed you could use it with auras and take almost no damage. Discharge knocks enemies out of melee range, so I would always choose Storm Shield.
64	Telekinetic Rod 1 hand Warp and Heat	Psyker	Telekinetic Shockwave • Piercing [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Class Slot	Witchfire • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Class Slot	None	None	This has the highest single target damage of all Psyker one-handed weapons, plus a knockdown for crowd control.
65	Thunder Hammer 2 hand Physical	Crusader	Strike • Armour Piercing • Knockback • Stun • Single Target	Pulverize • Vulnerability [Physical] • Single Target • Knockdown • Knockback	Thundering Leap • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback • Demolisher	Shockwave • Path [AoE] • Stun • Shock • Demolisher	Strike has 35% increased damage, but has 25% increased cooldown.	Shockwave has a 25% decreased cooldown.	Thundering Leap has a long cooldown, and Shockwave's path is too thin and weak.
66	Voltaic Axe Alpha 2 hand Heat	Tech-adept	Voltaic Arc • Chain [AoE] • Shock	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Lots of construct slots and a spammable AoE attack make this great if you want to get in close on a non-construct build.
67	Voltaic Axe Beta 2 hand Heat	Tech-adept	Strike • Cone Effect [AoE] • Shock • Vulnerability [Heat]	Voltaic Strike • Chain [AoE] • Stun • Shock	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	Always have an alpha weapon on swap for the extra construct.
68	Warp Rod 1 hand Warp and Heat	Psyker	Warp Blast • Area Effect [AoE] • Shock	Class Slot	Witchfire • Area Effect [AoE] • Knockdown • Knockback	Class Slot	None	None	This rod gives you a spammable Area Effect skill, but likely you will use a Psyker skill for that instead, making this rod the worst of the three.
69	Wyrdvane Staff 2 hand Warp	Psyker	Wyrdvane Seekers • Vulnerability [Warp] • Better Criticals • Single Target	Class Slot	Class Slot	Class Slot	None	None	A spammable warp skill that causes warp vulnerability is great, particularly to apply the debuff before using your Psyker skills.
