While you might have a playstyle preference for particular weapons FTL has some clear stronger weapon options that will make your game attempts significantly easier. Note that this list is based on the Advanced Edition update which changes some weapon mechanics and introduces new options from the standard base game. With this FTL guide you’ll be able to progress through easy, normal and in time hard mode by making effective and efficient FTL weapon choices.
#FTL BEST WEAPONS HOW TO#
Whether you want to use beam weapons, lasers, missiles, bombs, flak or ions you’ll be able to learn the best in each class and how to use each them effectively in combat.

Given the randomisation mechanics at the core of Faster Than Light players can not always rely on these best weapons alone though which is why this guide also provides an overview of every single weapon should you need to rely on them. This can be because of the great flexibility, cost efficiency or other utility that the weapon provides over other options within or across weapon categories.

With a diverse list of weapons Faster Than Light offensive decisions are always difficult and while it will depend somewhat on your current ship configuration and planned setup for the final boss battle there are some clear winners that will improve your chances of success in each game attempt. Our FTL weapon tier list guide will help you understand the best weapons to purchase and equip during a FTL run to ensure the best chance of victory.
