You start with a Pipe Wrench and an Iron Sword, and you end the journey trusting one Revolver. Here's every confirmed weapon, what it's for, and the keep-or-sell rules that fund your arsenal.

Confirmed weapons

Weapon	Type	How you get it	Verdict	Notes
Pipe Wrench	Melee	Starter weapon	● Keep	Part of the starting Scavenger loadout. A dependable early melee that costs nothing — keep it until you can craft or buy better.
Iron Sword	Melee	Starter weapon / looting	● Keep	The other half of the starting loadout. Solid early-game damage for zombie waves; upgrade away from it once guns become available.
Revolver	Ranged	Bought or looted	● Keep	The community's must-keep sidearm. Reliable damage, common ammo, and it stays useful deep into a run — including boss fights when your primary runs dry.
RPG	Heavy ranged	Late-game loot (tied to the rpg masterclass badge)	● Situational	Explosive damage added alongside the September 2026 horse/bandit content. Devastating against bosses and hordes, but ammunition is scarce — save it for the big fights, and note the rpg masterclass badge (1,000 entity kills with an RPG on horseback) exists for completionists.

Starter loadout: Pipe Wrench + Iron Sword — the Scavenger's starting kit. Solid enough for the first checkpoints; replace melee with a gun as soon as your cash allows.

The keep-or-sell framework

Last Stop has no trading economy — your "value list" is what each item is worth to your run versus its sell price. Four rules cover almost every decision:

Rule	Detail
Always keep	Your Revolver. It is the backbone of every loadout from mid-journey onward — selling it to fund an upgrade almost always ends in regret.
Keep until replaced	Starter melee weapons (Pipe Wrench, Iron Sword) until you own at least one gun with enough ammo for a full checkpoint.
Sell aggressively	Duplicate low-tier guns and most raw loot. Cash early means better weapons before the hard mid-journey bosses — the Rich Person badge (sell $25,000) is earned by disciplined selling.
Inspect first	Press Y to Inspect any item before selling. Condition affects value, and a few 'junk' items are quest or craft materials for the workbench.

Warning: press Y (Inspect) before selling anything. Some "junk" is workbench material — theCrafter badges (25 / 150 / 500 items) are earned by crafting, not buying.

What's worth buying with cash

In-run cash (earned by selling loot) buys weapons and supplies; Tickets are a separate currency for classes. The community consensus on in-run purchases: a ranged weapon with common ammo beats an exotic gun you can't feed, and the Revolver is the backbone sidearm of every mid-game loadout.
