As the Nazis have taken over practically the whole world at this point, they have the funds and research necessary to develop incredibly strong and powerful weapons.Blazkowicz and the Kreisau Circleuse this to their advantage, borrowing these impressive pieces of technology to take down their own creators.
10Submachine Gun
The Submachine Gun is the first weapon you will receive in Wolfenstein: The New Order. This will be when Blazkowicz receives this weapon as the standard-issued option in the US Army in 1946.
Though the Submachine Gun is a great introductory weapon, it falls short in many departments,especially in damage and accuracy.You’d be better off choosing a weapon such as the Assault Rifle if you want to use a weapon that has a rapid fire rate, as it will deal significantly more damage, and you’ll actually be able to hit your opponents with less recoil.
9Assault Rifle
As mentioned previously, the Assault Rifle is essentially an enhanced version of the older, less-perfected Submachine Gun. The Assault Rifle is the standard weapon of the Nazi enemies in the 1946 setting, as well as in the future 1960 timeline.
Using this weapon is really only recommended when there isn’t much else for you to use. It has alarge magazine, so you won’t have to worry about running out of bullets.Other than this, though, the Assault Rifle won’t finish off your enemies as quickly and easily as other weapons in Wolfenstein: The New Order — skip this one whenever you can.
8Double-Barreled Shotgun
The Double-Barreled Shotgun packs a hefty punch for players at the beginning of the gamein the Asylum. Its high damage will swiftly take down the enemy soldiers surrounding you but is really only useful in these first initial missions.

It, unfortunately, has avery slow reload rate, taking multiple seconds to fill in the two-round magazine. This is enough time for enemies to finish you off, especially when there is a large quantity of them surrounding you in a corner. Use the Double-Barreled Shotgun to your heart’s content in the Asylum, but after that, we recommend tossing it for a better alternative.
7Handgun 1960
Even though many associate a Handgun with low damage, the Handgun 1960 destroys this stereotype with impressive stats along with portability. you’re able to easily take out enemies in one headshot with the Handgun 1960.
An added bonus for this simple weapon is itsability toobtain a suppressor,so those who like to complete their missions with a little bit of sneaking can whip out this weapon to defeat enemies at a distance. This way, you don’t have to use your knife for every stealthy attack you perform.
6Tesla Grenade
Sure, this weapon might not be your standard gun, but don’t underestimate the Tesla Grenade in your arsenal. This crafty item can take out large groups in one hit, as well as disable mechanical enemies, allowing you to sneak up behind them to deal the final blow.
Tesla Grenades are also relatively easy to find around the map. You can often spot themin wooden boxesthat you can break open with your knife. If you are truly not in the mood to deal with a long showdown against a group of soldiers, bring out theTesla Grenade to make quick work of them.
Maybe a knife doesn’t sound so intimidating against a list of especially strong guns and grenades, but it can do a lot more than what meets the eye. Those who want to complete an almost perfectly stealthy run of Wolfenstein: The New Order will find the Knife to be their best friend.

Despite the weapon being limited to close-range attacks, it is a simple weapon that only requires you to sneak up behind an enemy andpress one button to kill them immediately.It takes much less effort to defeat enemies with the knife, which gives it a high ranking for us.
4Machine Gun 1960
The Machine Gun 1960 is a weapon you, unfortunately, cannot keep with you, but when you have the chance to use it, you’ll find that a giant group of soldiers will dwindle down in seconds. One hit from this weapon and enemies are guaranteed to be finished.
The Nazis can also use the Machine Gun 1960 against you, however. When this happens, you should prioritize getting control of this weapon as quickly as possible. The great thing about it is that you willonly need to recharge it using charging stations or placing it back on its mount— no worrying about magazines here.
3AR Marksman
Long-ranged attacks are underrated inthe Wolfenstein franchise, as many players want to run in and take out enemies using their Assault Rifles. But the real hero here is the AR Marksman, which will allow you to take shots at enemies from an incredibly distant location.
The AR Marksman is the only obtainable weapon with a scope, as well as the ability to use aPlasma Mode that will shoot bolts of plasma at enemies using battery power.It truly is the best of both worlds and will finish off your opponents in one simple headshot.
2Automatic Shotgun
The Automatic Shotgun is essentially the older sibling of the Double-Barreled Shotgun, with significantly improved fire rate, accuracy, and damage. In close-range situations, you will almost always win the fight with just one shot from this gun.
Typical to any shotgun, the Automatic Shotgun willrelease pellets that will scatter out of the bullet casing,causing heavy damage to all enemies nearby. You won’t need to worry about reloading, either, as you’ll be able to continue firing with the 20-bullet magazine. Those who want to approach enemies directly should use the Automatic Shotgun to unload devastating attacks, preventing hardly any retaliation from the other side.
1LaserKraftWerk
Of course, the LaserKraftWerk has to take the top spot not only because it is the coolest weapon in the game but it eliminates the use of bullets and the previous Laser Cutter. Once you expose the LaserKraftWerk to its available upgrades as well, you will become unstoppable.
These upgrades will allow the weapon torecharge itself, turn into a fully automatic, as well as target and track enemiesfor easier kills, among other upgrades. It will also replace your Laser Cutter and assist your story progression, cutting through metal casings to open new paths. Once you fully build up the LaserKraftWerk to its final form, you won’t need to use much else in the game.
