Quick Answer
Pick Vrede for balanced handling, Catacoil Rapid X for flexible oil builds, or Klein Bauer for extreme fire rate. Your choice depends on range and recoil control; no single gun has a confirmed first-place ranking for public 1.0.
Which SULFUR guns should you choose?
Choose by the job you need your gun to do.
| Gun | Why you should choose it |
|---|---|
| Vrede | Balanced fire rate, accuracy, and mild recoil for short-to-medium range. |
| Catacoil Rapid X | Flexible oil combinations for accurate ranged fire or close-range projectile output. |
| Klein Bauer | Extremely high fire rate and durability, with spin-up and recoil trade-offs. |
These are role-based recommendations, rather than a strongest-to-weakest ranking. For the broader selection, compare SULFUR weapons before committing to a replacement.
Why should you use Vrede?
Use Vrede when you want balanced short-to-medium-range performance without extreme handling trade-offs.
You get a strong balance of fire rate, accuracy, and mild recoil among SMGs. Pair it with a muzzle attachment and your preferred sight. You can improve its practical handling without building around a spin-up delay.
| Vrede detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Base ammunition | 9mm |
| Base damage | 60 |
| Fire rate | 800 RPM |
| Magazine | 30 rounds |
| Durability | 3,900 |
| Sellers | Stiffleg or Qiosk |
Reload during breaks while you still have ammunition in the magazine. An empty reload takes slightly longer than a partial reload. This makes your reload timing useful even when you keep the base configuration.
Why should you use Catacoil Rapid X?
Use Catacoil Rapid X when you want one gun that supports several oil-based roles.
Despite its assault rifle classification, you get handling closer to an SMG. Its high fire rate comes with mediocre spread, which muzzle attachments cannot reduce. You can equip sights and laser sights.
| Catacoil Rapid X detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Ammunition | Energy Cell |
| Base damage | 60 |
| Fire rate | 893 RPM |
| Magazine | 30 rounds |
| Durability | 3,300 |
| Sellers | Stiffleg or Qiosk |
For accurate mid-to-long-range fire, apply Dead Center Oil, which sets spread to 0.5. Boomstick Oil or Suppressive Oil adds projectiles for an accurate sprayer or close-range setup. Lightweight Oil is another recommended pairing for high-output builds. You should also consider ammunition consumption: Catacoil is less economical than D4RT or Augusta.
Recoil behavior differs between versions. The zero-recoil description treats recoil-increasing oils as having no recoil penalty. The 1.0 preview description adds slight recoil, particularly affecting builds with three or more recoil-increasing oils. Avoid treating recoil penalties as universally absent.
Why should you use Klein Bauer?
Use Klein Bauer when you can manage recoil and spin-up to exploit its extreme fire rate.
You get a compact rotary gun with a large magazine and high durability. Those strengths come with a firing delay and heavy kick. High durability also drains quickly because you fire so many shots.
| Klein Bauer detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Base ammunition | 9mm |
| Base damage | 60 |
| Fire rate | 2,400 RPM |
| Magazine | 138 rounds |
| Durability | 6,500 |
| Seller | Qiosk |
Prioritize recoil reduction so your shots connect. Careful Oil, Double Lock Oil, and especially Ready Oil are recommended despite reducing fire rate. Your base fire rate is already high enough to make those trade-offs worthwhile. You can shorten the wait by repeatedly pressing fire to pre-spin the barrels before combat.
What should you pair with these guns early and late?
Pair Vrede with a muzzle attachment and sight; build Catacoil and Klein Bauer around their specific handling needs.
For an early replacement, Vrede offers balanced performance without requiring the specialized oil combinations described above. When developing a later build, choose Catacoil for role-changing oils or Klein Bauer for recoil-focused tuning. These are setup choices, rather than a confirmed acquisition order or progression ranking. Stiffleg and Qiosk sell Vrede and Catacoil; Qiosk sells Klein Bauer.
Do 1.0 balance changes affect these recommendations?
Preview changes make older damage tables unsuitable for a definitive current ranking.
The Deathstar PG tooltip shows its damage in the preview build.
Shown at 12:25 in The Homie Dot’s video.The preview describes Chimera Rapid dropping from 88 to 80 damage. It also describes Deathstar PG increasing from 80 to 96, and Beck 8 increasing from 60 to 66. Those changes concern a non-public 1.0 build, which may differ from the public release.
Watch the weapon balance discussion from 12:13 for that preview context. It discusses balance changes rather than establishing a weapon ranking.
FAQ
Vrede offers the best overall balance of SMG statistics, with mild recoil and effective short-to-medium-range performance.
Vrede and Klein Bauer use 9mm in their base configurations. Catacoil Rapid X uses Energy Cell ammunition.
Dead Center Oil sets its spread to 0.5 for a more accurate mid-to-long-range setup.
Its barrels need to spin up before firing. Repeatedly pressing fire to pre-spin them can reduce the delay before combat.
Stiffleg or Qiosk sells Vrede and Catacoil Rapid X. Qiosk sells Klein Bauer.
