Zero Sievert is a top-down survival shooter game that requires players to eke out a life for themselves in a procedurally-generated, post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The world of Zero Sievert is filled with both terrestrial and supernatural enemies, and players' primary line of defense against threats is the various types of weapons that can be found throughout the game world. Knowing which are the best weapons in Zero Sievert is key for survival, as is knowing how best to use them.

10 Wintar BK

It's probably fitting that one of Zero Sievert's best weapons, the Wintar BK, can only be obtained by dispatching one of the top-down survival game's toughest bosses, Arman. The Wintar BK is what makes Arman so hard to beat, too. The gun has an absurdly high rate of fire and great damage output per second.

It's easily worth putting the effort into defeating Arman to obtain the Wintar BK. A highly versatile attacking weapon, the Wintar BK is basically unstoppable in the right hands. Plus, there's a chance that Arman will also drop his distinctive, powerful set of armor when defeated.

9 Marauder 700 Modern

A variant on the Marauder 700 gun, the Marauder 700 Modern is a bolt-action sniper rifle that can be purchased from the shopkeeper Joel Emerson. Emerson can be found in the port area of the Industrial Area section of the game and sells the Marauder 700 Modern for a hefty 52,150 roubles.

The weapon is definitely worth the steep price, however. Sniper rifles provide a fantastic way to take out enemies from cover in Zero Sievert, and the Marauder 700 Modern is easily one of the best sniper rifles in the game.

8 ZZ Vel

The ZZ Vel is a highly versatile weapon that is fantastic for taking out armored opponents, has great DPS, and is reasonably lightweight.

An automatic rifle, the ZZ Vel is available fairly early on in some Zero Sievert loadouts as a drop from Lazar. Taking on Lazar can be something of a challenge, as he's the first boss that many players encounter in the game. Lazar is flanked by four guards who will attempt to take the player out before they can reach him, so engaging him blindly in a firefight is not the way to go.

7 SKOP H

With fantastic damage output for a fully automatic rifle, the SKOP H is a great weapon that supports plenty of mods to boot. Players can purchase the SKOP H from Joel Emerson for 41,450 roubles.

Many will feel that it is worth the investment, as the SKOP H is reasonably lightweight and is great for taking on enemies at both shorter and longer ranges. Players can almost hide behind the weapon's excellent DPS and use it as a primary or supplementary weapon. Add in the fact that the SKOP H can be modded so extensively, and it's a clear winner.

6 STAS 12

The shotgun with the greatest magazine capacity in the game, Zero Sievert's STAS 12 also deals excellent base damage and fire rate. Shotguns are unbeatable in Zero Sievert for dealing with enemies in close quarters.

Different terrains in the game's unforgiving world require that players be adept at using different kinds of weapons, and the STAS 12 is a fantastic choice for taking out human and supernatural enemies alike in enclosed or tighter spaces, as well as at close range. Players can purchase the STAS 12 from Joel Emerson for 33,000 roubles.

5 ETS

Easily one of the best pistols in Zero Sievert, the ETS is unfortunately not very easy to obtain. Players can loot the ETS from corpses and weapon boxes, so finding the ETS in the wild does come down to chance more than anything.

Players would definitely do well to keep an eye out for ETS pistols while playing Zero Sievert, though. With decent damage, accuracy, ergonomics, and relatively low recoil, the ETS is a fantastic workhorse pistol that performs well both at close and long range.

4 Nozin Makant

Available from Zero Sievert's Green Army Trader, who can be found in his bunker, the Nozin Makant is another fantastic sniper rifle that players can use in the shooter RPG.

One of the greatest strengths of the weapon is actually the price that it comes at. Players can purchase the Nozin Makant for just 16,900 roubles, which is less than half of some of the other guns of a similar caliber in the game. Combine that with its more than respectable damage and players have got a very strong sniper rifle for the earlier stages of a Zero Sievert loadout.

3 RP 57

Another fantastic pistol, the RP 57 is more of a heavy hitter than faster-firing guns like the ETS or Vlok 17. What the gun lacks in RPM, it makes up for in firepower, though. The RP 57 has the highest base damage of any pistol in Zero Sievert.

What's more, the RP 57 is inexpensive, being sold by Andrei Andreevich for as little as 7,500 roubles. Players on the lookout for a pistol that packs a punch and doesn't cost a fortune should definitely make a beeline for the Green Army Camp as soon as possible, so they can get their hands on their own RP 57.

2 F90

Not only does the F90 look really cool, but it's easily one of the most user-friendly submachine guns in Zero Sievert. The F90 has one of the best rates of fire of all of Zero Sievert's submachine guns, and, additionally, deals one of the highest levels of base damage.

Players can purchase the F90 from Andrei Andreevich, the trader for Zero Sievert's Green Army. While submachine guns aren't for everybody, they're a fantastic option for dealing with mobs of unarmoured enemies in particular. The F90 can be purchased for 28,500 roubles.

1 FRD

The FRD is arguably Zero Sievert's best DMR by far. It boasts the highest base damage of any DMR in the game and supports a range of mods to improve its ergonomics and recoil.

Combining the FRD with just about any mod turns it into an absolute machine that is ideal for engagements at range, especially for taking out enemies that are too far away to dispatch with a rifle but too close to use a dedicated sniper rifle on. The FRD can be purchased from Alexei Andreevich for 40,470 roubles.

Zero Sievert is out now on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
