Empty weapon slots are XP, and level-ups are worth double. Our tier list puts Captain in B tier: XP per free weapon slot. A stat-stacking puzzle that rewards discipline.

The stat line

• +60% XP Gain for every free weapon slot you have
• +100% stats gained from level upgrades
• +200% XP required to level up
• +2% Enemy health at the end of a wave
• +2% Enemy damage at the end of a wave

Captain comes with the Abyssal Terrors DLC. Unlock: Unlocked by default. Winning a run unlocks Captain's Sword.

How the run plays

+60% XP per free weapon slot and +100% stats from level upgrades reward holding fewer weapons: two or three strong ones leave four slots of XP bonus. XP costs 200% more, so the bonus is needed. Enemy health and damage climb +2% every wave, which punishes slow runs — the Captain wants to end waves fast.

Weapons

Captain fits the Gun or Precise classes best. Start with Knife, Lightning Shiv, Double Barrel Shotgun, SMG, Revolver, Shredder and hold six weapons of one class for the set bonus; the weapons list shows everything in the Gun class with per-tier damage.

What to buy, what to skip

Weapon upgrades for the few weapons you hold, Max HP, Harvesting. Skip weapon count.

The shop favours XP Gain items for Captain, so expect to see these often: Scar, Celery Tea, Black Belt, Peacock, Bean Teacher, Barnacle, Diploma.

The mistake that ends runs

Filling all six slots out of habit, which deletes the XP engine.
