Looking to dominate the fishing game in Roblox Abyss but confused about which guns to buy? You’re not alone!
The weapon system in Abyss can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you’re staring at that default Bottle Gun wondering how you’ll ever catch those legendary fish everyone’s talking about.
Here’s the good news: we’ve tested every single gun in the game and mapped out the perfect progression path that’ll save you thousands of in-game cash and hours of frustration.
Why Gun Progression Matters in Roblox Abyss
Unlike other Roblox games, Abyss makes your gun choice absolutely critical to success. These aren’t just cosmetic items – they’re your primary fishing tools that directly impact how quickly you can catch fish and progress through the game.
Every time you shoot a fish, you enter a precision-based minigame. Your gun determines three crucial things:
- Damage: How fast your catch bar fills up. Higher damage means quicker catches and less time wasted.
- Control: This makes the green zone larger and more stable during the minigame. Better control = easier catches, especially for beginners.
- Cooldown: How fast you can fire again if you miss your shot. Lower cooldown keeps you in action.
Understanding these stats is the difference between struggling for hours and breezing through progression.
The Ultimate Abyss Gun Progression Path (Updated for Official Release)
We’ve updated this guide post-official release to reflect the current meta. Here’s your complete upgrade path:
Bottle Gun → Beginner’s Gun → Advanced Gun → Air Rifle Gun → Wasted Gun → Magroot Gun → Ruined Gun → Plunger Gun
This progression balances cost efficiency with performance gains at every stage of the game.

Early Game Guns: Your First 30 Minutes
Bottle Gun (Free)
This is your default starting weapon. Don’t expect miracles, with only 10 damage and 0.4 control, it’s barely functional.
Use it just long enough to scrape together 350 cash. That shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes of basic fishing.
Beginner’s Gun (350 Cash)
Your first real upgrade! The Beginner’s Gun doubles your damage to 20 and improves control to 0.5.
This weapon is perfect for learning the minigame mechanics without the frustration of terrible stats. Plan to use this for your first 20-30 minutes while completing early quests and building your cash reserves.
Advanced Gun (1,050 Cash)
Here’s where things get interesting. The Advanced Gun pushes damage to 40 and control to 0.55.
Some players skip this entirely and save for the Air Rifle Gun. However, there’s one major reason to buy it: Kraken’s quest requires the Advanced Gun specifically.
If you’re following quest progression, grab it. If you’re purely focused on fishing efficiency, you can skip ahead.
Mid Game Guns: Building Momentum
Air Rifle Gun (2,150 Cash)
This is where progression really kicks into gear. The Air Rifle Gun delivers 55 damage with 0.6 control, a massive jump that makes catching rare fish significantly easier.
Many experienced players recommend saving up and jumping straight from Beginner’s Gun to Air Rifle Gun if you’re not worried about completing every quest immediately.
Wasted Gun (17,500 Cash)
Welcome to mid-game dominance! Available at Crazy Jeff’s Store, the Wasted Gun cranks your damage up to 120 with excellent 0.75 control.
This weapon transforms your fishing experience. Catches that used to take 30+ seconds now wrap up in under 10. Save your Air Rifle Gun earnings and make this your priority mid-game purchase.
Magroot Gun (47,500 Cash)
Found at Spirit Root Hollow, the Magroot Gun pushes you toward endgame territory with 190 damage and 0.85 control.
This is your bridge weapon before you can afford the truly expensive late-game options. The improved control makes even the trickiest fish manageable, and the damage boost keeps your catch times low.
Late Game Guns: Maximum Performance
Ruined Gun (245,000 Cash)
For most players, this is the ultimate endgame weapon. Located in Angler Cave, the Ruined Gun delivers 350 damage with incredible 1.1 control and a blazing 1.7-second cooldown.
The combination of high damage, best-in-game control, and fast firing rate makes this the most well-rounded weapon in Abyss. It excels at everything – legendary fish, quick farming runs, and difficult catches.
Plunger Gun (235,000 Cash)
Found in Bob’s Room, the Plunger Gun offers the highest damage in the game at 420.
However, it comes with a tradeoff: control drops to 0.85 and cooldown increases to 2.3 seconds. This makes it less forgiving than the Ruined Gun.
Choose the Plunger Gun if you’ve mastered the minigame mechanics and prioritize raw damage over stability. Otherwise, the Ruined Gun remains the better all-around choice.
Pro Tips for Gun Progression
Prioritize control early: When you’re still learning the minigame, control matters more than damage. Missing shots because of poor control wastes more time than slightly slower catches.
- Don’t rush the expensive guns: Trying to save up 245,000 cash with a Beginner’s Gun is torture. Progress through the mid-tier weapons to farm efficiently.
- Check quest requirements: Some quests need specific guns. Always check before skipping a weapon entirely.
- Farm efficiently between upgrades: Use your current gun to its fullest potential. Target fish that match your current damage output for optimal cash-per-hour.
Should You Skip Any Guns?
Yes, selectively skipping makes sense.
The Advanced Gun is skippable if you’re not concerned with Kraken’s quest. Jump from Beginner’s Gun to Air Rifle Gun for faster damage scaling.
However, never skip the mid-tier weapons (Air Rifle, Wasted, Magroot). The cash requirements for late-game guns are simply too high to farm efficiently with early-game weapons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Which gun should I focus on early in Abyss?
A. Prioritize the Beginner’s Gun or Advanced Gun early on. Better control makes the minigame much easier while you’re learning mechanics, which means more consistent catches and faster cash accumulation.
Q. Is it worth skipping guns in the progression?
A. You can skip certain weapons like the Advanced Gun for faster damage upgrades. However, remember that some quests require specific guns, so skipping might slow your overall quest progression even if it speeds up your fishing efficiency.
Q. What is the best late-game gun in Abyss?
A. The Ruined Gun is the best overall late-game weapon thanks to its combination of high damage (350), excellent control (1.1), and fast cooldown (1.7s). The Plunger Gun offers more raw damage but sacrifices control and cooldown, making it harder to use efficiently.
Final Thoughts
Gun progression in Roblox Abyss doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow this upgrade path, prioritize control in the early game and damage in the late game, and you’ll be catching legendary fish in no time.
Remember: the best gun is the one that matches your current skill level and cash reserves. Don’t stress about having the “perfect” weapon at every moment – focus on steady progression and improving your minigame skills.
