Precise weapons guide — set bonus, every weapon, who should build it
Updated 2026-11-01 · for v1.1 + Paws & Claws
High base crit and a crit bonus from the set; the class where Crit Chance items are damage items. 11 weapons carry the Precise tag; the set bonus below applies for every Precise weapon you hold at once, duplicates included.
Set bonus
| Weapons held | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2 | +3% Crit Chance |
| 3 | +6% Crit Chance |
| 4 | +9% Crit Chance |
| 5 | +12% Crit Chance |
| 6 | +15% Crit Chance |
How a Precise build plays
Precise weapons start with real crit: Knife 20%, Shuriken 35%, Crossbow 30%, Sniper Gun 20% with 800 range. The set adds up to +15% Crit Chance, and crit multipliers in the class run 2× or higher, so a six-Precise rack with a few Crit items crits on most hits. Knives and Shurikens are cheap and fast; Sniper Gun gives the rack a boss weapon. Scale Crit Chance to 100%, then flat Melee or Ranged Damage depending on which weapons you hold.
Every Precise weapon
Numbers are the lowest tier the weapon exists at; open a weapon for all four tiers and its scaling.

The core of a six-of set is usually Knife, Shuriken, Crossbow, Sniper Gun, Thief Dagger, Claw; the rest fill in as the shop offers them.
Characters that fit the class
- Arms Dealer — Weapons cost almost nothing, so the Arms Dealer buys six Tier IVs before anyone else has three.
- Captain — Empty weapon slots are XP, and level-ups are worth double.
- Crazy — Fast knives with huge range; crit is the whole plan.
- Diver — Harpoon Gun for free, and Precise crits hit for triple.
- Explorer — A bigger map, faster feet, and materials from wandering.
- Fisherman — Bait spawns special enemies and pays harvesting per bait held.
- Hiker — Steps are money and steps are health; never stop walking.
- Hunter — Range is damage, crit scales harder, and harvesting is off the table.
- Jack — Fewer enemies, but elites and bosses are the whole game — and the whole payout.
- One Armed — One weapon only, at triple attack speed with doubled damage modifiers.
- Ranger — Ranged damage scales 50% harder; the safest learning character.
- Wounded — Dies in one hit. A challenge run, not a build.
Overlapping classes
Precise weapons also count as Elemental, Medieval, Unarmed, Medical, Primitive, Gun, Legendary, so a Precise rack can trigger a second set bonus without an extra slot. The weapons list filters by class.
The mistake that ends runs
Mixing melee and ranged Precise without thinking: Knife scales with Melee Damage, Sniper Gun with Ranged. Two flat stats means half the scaling.
