So, you finally crafted the Long Rifle expecting it to be the ultimate bird destroyer, only to find out that birds are still outmaneuvering you like they’re in some kind of elite flight school. If you're wondering which guns actually matter in Longvinter, here’s a ranking of the best weapons for combat, hunting, and general survival—because not all guns are created equal.
1. Best for Hunting: The Shotgun
Forget precision. Forget long rifles. If you want feathers n things fast, the Shotgun is your best friend.
High spread, so you barely have to aim
Birds drop instantly if you get close enough
Described in-game as "perfect for blastin’ birds," so that’s a pretty big hint
Some players even build fences around bird spawn locations for easy farming. Not exactly fair, but efficiency is king.
2. Best All-Around Weapon: The Semi-Auto Rifle
The Semi-Auto is the jack-of-all-trades in Longvinter. It’s not the best at anything, but it’s reliable for just about everything.
Decent range and accuracy
Good damage output
Works for both hunting and PvP
If you can’t decide what to carry, this gun will never let you down.
3. Best for PvP: The Machine Gun (Tommy Gun)
When it comes to fighting other players, the Tommy Gun is the best gun in the game.
Highest damage per second
High fire rate means you win most gunfights
Surprisingly good range
It’s a loot magnet. Any time someone hears this gun, they either run toward it or away from it. If you can get one, you’re a walking threat.
4. Best for Close Combat: Chainsaw + Energy Drinks
This isn’t a joke. A Chainsaw and an Energy Drink combo is an actual strategy that players use in PvP and even bird hunting.
No ammo required, just fuel
Scares people because no one expects a madman with a chainsaw
Chasing birds into corners is weirdly effective
If you’re tired of shooting, try this method. Bonus points if you wear something intimidating while doing it.
Final Thoughts: What Should You Use?
For birds, use the Shotgun.
For general survival, use the Semi-Auto Rifle.
For PvP dominance, get a Tommy Gun.
For pure chaos, grab a Chainsaw and an Energy Drink.
So before you waste more resources crafting the wrong weapon, grab the right tool for the job and start playing Longvinter the smart way. Or just go full chainsaw mode. Whatever works.
