Ranking All 51 Weapons in FTL (Tier List)

FTL Streams EVERY SUNDAY at 2PM EST! Join me as I attempt to beat the world record streak of 127!   / empowers67   THE HIDDEN FEDERATION BASE (join for free pre-igniter in your next run):   / discord   If you’ve played FTL, it’s no secret that the game was designed by GENIUSES, and to see an example of the brilliance of the game’s design, you need look no further than its 51 weapons spanning 7 weapon types. Each weapon and weapon type comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. One of the hardest moments in any given run of FTL is when you’re given a choice of three great weapons in a store and can only choose one. Do you go with the classic, highly efficient Flak 1 to boost your shield-breaking capabilities? What about the Small Bomb, which enables you to deal targeted system damage while supporting crew kills at the cost of a missile per shot? Or do you take the slowest but deadliest of the bunch, the Halberd Beam, to rip apart enemy ships with impunity? On that note, I’m proud to bring you, dear viewer, this all-new, fresh-off-the-press weapon ranking, a completely ORIGINAL IDEA that’s never been done before. This is a video I’m excited to make, not only to share my thoughts on one of my favorite games of all time but especially since many of you asked for it among the highly positive comments on my ship ranking videos – thank you guys for the support and nice comments on those videos, by the way!
