Weapons

Wield unique weapons in Hive Jump 2: Survivors. Upgrade your Pulse or other armaments to their max tier for maximum damage against alien hordes.

Weapons are your primary means of offense against the alien hordes. Each weapon type offers a unique playstyle and effectiveness against different enemy types. Upgrading weapons to max tier significantly boosts their power ('Maximum Damage' for one max tier weapon). The 'Ultimate Grocery Carrier' achievement for collecting 21 max tier equipment suggests the depth of the upgrade system.

• Pulse Rounds: The default primary weapon for the Standard Jumper. Reaching max tier earns 'From Humble Beginnings' and surviving a run with it earns 'Pulse Veteran'. Focus on attack speed and piercing upgrades.
• Flamethrower: A close-range, high-damage weapon effective against swarms. Equipping a max tier Flamethrower earns 'Burn, Baby, Burn', and killing 1,000 enemies with it earns 'Flamin' Hot'. Surviving a run with a max tier Flamethrower earns 'Inferno Champion'.
• Mag Slugs: A precision weapon, often associated with the Marksman Jumper. Reaching max tier earns 'Sniper'.
• Spread Shot: A shotgun-like weapon for close-quarters combat. Upgrading to max tier earns 'Full Spread', and killing 10,000 enemies with it earns 'Spread the Love'. Surviving a run with a max tier Spread Shot earns 'Shotgun Surgeon'.
• Cryo Beam: A weapon that slows and freezes enemies. Equipping a max tier Cryo Beam earns 'Mr. Freeze', and surviving a run with it earns 'Frostwalker'.
• Gamma Ray: A radiation-based weapon. Equipping a max tier Gamma Ray earns 'Radiant Survivor', and killing 1,000 enemies with it earns 'Radical Radiation'.
• Smart Turret: A deployable automated defense. Killing 10,000 enemies with it earns 'I Don't Like Shooting Guns', and surviving a run with a max tier Smart Turret earns 'Tactician's Triumph'.
• Plasma Charger: A powerful energy weapon. Surviving a run with a max tier Plasma Charger earns 'Plasma Paladin'.
• Rocket Rounds: Explosive projectiles. Surviving a run with a max tier Rocket Rounds earns 'Rocketeer's Resolve'.
