Weapon Tier List & Recommendations

Master Metal: Hellsinger with our comprehensive weapon tier list and expert recommendations. Discover the best loadouts and strategies to dominate Hell.

Metal: Hellsinger is a challenging FPS that requires players to slay to the rhythm of the music. Once the core mechanics click, players can tear through demons with ease. While the main campaign is relatively short, the game offers significant depth through Sigils, Torments, a variety of unique weapons, and masterable skills.

This guide provides tips and tricks to help you conquer Hell and climb the leaderboards in Metal: Hellsinger.

Calibrate your audio and video

As a rhythm game, staying on beat is crucial in Metal: Hellsinger. Ensure your audio and video are synchronized by calibrating these settings in the Options menu. You can recalibrate at any time if you feel they are out of sync.

Adjust the FOV

Increase your Field of View (FOV) in the Options menu to better track enemies and improve situational awareness. While it may take some adjustment, the increased peripheral vision is highly beneficial.

Save those power-ups

Power-ups like health crystals and combo boosters are scattered throughout levels. Locate them, but activate them strategically. Use combo boosters when your combo is at risk and health crystals during challenging final waves of enemies.

Use Paz to sustain your combo

Equip Paz, your companion skull, when traversing enemy-free zones. Firing on-beat with Paz will sustain your combo, allowing you to carry high combo streaks throughout entire levels.

Don’t forget to jump!

Utilize your character's agility, including double jumps and mid-air dashes, to evade projectiles, reposition during intense combat, and cover ground quickly.

Reload like a pro

Perform quick reloads by pressing the reload button (X on Xbox Series X) when the golden beat marker aligns with the rhythm indicator during the "Reload is Imminent" prompt.

Save your Ultimates

Weapon Ultimates charge by slaying enemies. Save these powerful attacks for large waves of enemies or boss encounters to maximize their impact.

Execute enemies to restore health

Perform executions on staggered enemies by pressing the Execute button (R3 on consoles). This not only eliminates the enemy but also restores a significant amount of health, even from a distance.

Be smart about eliminating enemies

Prioritize high-threat enemies like Behemoths that deal significant damage. Engage other targets only if they pose an immediate threat or enter your personal space. Be mindful of ranged attackers and use positioning to your advantage.

Tackle some Torments

If you find the main campaign too difficult, replay previous levels to attempt Torments. Completing these missions rewards you with Sigils, which provide passive benefits like increased combo streak durability or faster Ultimate charge rates.
