Ultimate Guide to Unlocking All Weapons in Satisfactory

In Satisfactory, players encounter a variety of hostile creatures such as hogs, spitters, crabs, and splitters that can be defeated using five different types of weapons. In this guide, I will show you how to acquire all weapons in Satisfactory, complete with crafting recipes for all ammunition types.

Satisfactory: How to Acquire All Weapons

Xeno-Zapper

The Xeno-Zapper is the default melee weapon in Satisfactory, featuring a very limited range and minimal damage of just five points. Fortunately, you receive this weapon for free upon exiting the drop-pod. If you wish to craft additional Xeno-Zappers, you can do so at the Equipment Workshop using the following materials:

• 10x Iron Rod
• 2x Reinforced Iron Plate
• 15x Cable
• 50x Wire

Xeno-Basher

For a more effective option, consider crafting the Xeno-Basher, which is a direct upgrade from the Xeno-Zapper. It offers nearly double the damage at nine points, a longer range of four meters, and includes a stagger ability. You can unlock the Xeno-Basher at Tier 3 within the Enhanced Asset Security chain. To craft it, you will need:

• 2x Xeno-Zapper
• 5x Modular Frame
• 25x Iron Rod
• 500x Wire
