Weapons can be found in a wide variety in Redfall. There are high-end military ranged weapons but also Grandpa’s shotgun that’s kitbashed together. Weapons aren’t tied to a specific character, so you can use any weapon that you like. But the heroes in Redfall have an affinity to certain weapons, which will be represented in their skill tree. You can equip 3 different weapons in your quick select load out but you are able to carry more in your backpack.

Redfall Weapon Mods

Besides blade attachments, Redfall also has a ton of other Mods you can randomly get on your weapon. Being able to set things on fire or flash a UV light to petrify vampires within a 10-foot radius.
Redfall Weapon Level
You can find stronger weapons as you progress through the game. Each weapon has a power level, therefore, you will be scrapping guns when you out-level them.
You cannot level up your weapon. This keeps you experimenting and testing out weapons throughout the main game.
The quality of the item is not only represented by its rarity, each item also gets a rating. This makes it somewhat easier to compare various items with each other.
Redfall Weapon Rarities
Weapons have different rarity types. The higher the rarity the better the item is, however, don’t just ditch your item because you found one of a higher rarity tier. The item does need to fit your character’s play style.
- White
- Green
- Blue / Superior
- Purple / High-end
- Orange / Unrivaled
Redfall Weapon Skins
Weapons can be customized with different skins. They can be switched out in your Loadout menu by inspecting a specific weapon. There are at least 43 different weapon skins. You can get some by Pre-Ordering Refall or purchasing the Bite Back Edition of the game.
