Top 5 Players’ Favorite Weapons in Pixel Gun 3D

We’ve already covered the top 3 rarest guns in Pixel Gun 3D that you can still obtain. Now it’s time to talk about the weapons that turned into real community favorites—the guns most players see as both insanely powerful and highly wanted. In this guide, we won’t just name these five weapons, but also break down where and how you can get them.

1. Bloody Mercenary

Kicking off our list is the Mythical Backup weapon with a pretty grim name—Bloody Mercenary— first introduced in the 24.6 update. Its design pulls heavily from classic manga vibes, just like the rest of the set it belongs to, mixing white, black, and red colors. Around and above the gun, you’ll spot three runes, two of which spin around the barrel. There’s also an eye on the side that squints every time you shoot—and disappears if the magazine’s empty.

When it comes to stats, Pixel Gun 3D Bloody Mercenary delivers. It has a solid fire rate, mobility, and does enough damage (critical included) to opponents in just a couple of shots.

As we’ve mentioned earlier, the weapon is a part of the set—the Invincible Hero Set, to be exact. It’s not available all the time in the game, but it can pop up in the Event Set Roulette for a limited time. That’s one way to grab this Pixel Gun 3D weapon. The other options are the Super Lottery and the seasonal themed events. We suggest you save up some gems and keys for such occasions.

2. Cyber Lantern  

Don’t let the looks—or the name—of this Special weapon fool you. In the right hands, it’s quite deadly. Cyber Lantern was first introduced in the 21.5.0 update and quickly earned community love.

The Pixel Gun 3D Cyber Lantern resembles the Japanese shrine, but with a twist that turns this decoration into a powerful weapon. It fires energy projectiles that explode on impact, dealing significant damage and slowing anyone caught in the blast.

Cyber Lantern is widely considered one of the best special weapons in Pixel Gun 3D, so it's no wonder players are chasing it. Now there are two main ways you can obtain it. First, keep an eye on the Event Set Lottery, where the Pursued Arsenal Set may appear—it includes this weapon. Second, check the Trader’s Van regularly, since its lineup refreshes often, and Cyber Lantern can show up there too.

3. Corrupted Necklace of Ice King

Next, we’ve got yet another one of the best weapons in Pixel Gun 3D, according to pixelgunners. Introduced in the 24.9.0, this Special weapon has a distinctive appearance that combines icy blue and rainbow colors with sharp teeth that hold a shard and pointed horns. However, it uses its monitor to shoot projectiles.

When those projectiles hit enemies, they trigger an explosion that deals area damage and applies bleeding. Its fire rate and mobility are also surprisingly strong. You definitely don’t want to be on the receiving end of it—but you’d like to be the one who holds it.

4. Anti-Champion Rifle

Legend has it that the Anti-Champion Rifle is one of the best sniper Pixel Gun 3D guns, according to a lot of pixelgunners. This weapon—first introduced in the 13.2.0 update—can pierce through opponents and other obstacles, dealing massive damage.​

Visually, Anti-Champion Rifle in Pixel Gun 3D combines classic Champion colors—red, black, and white. It has a bright red crystal connected to the weapon by four cords. When it shoots, you can see the laser beam coming out of the sniper's barrel. You won’t mistake this weapon for anything else.

When you reach level 45, the sniper unlocks in the Armory, and you can purchase it with gems. That’s one of the ways. The other option is through the Lottery Chest, where it can occasionally appear as a reward. Well, we think you know what to do.

5. Ultimatum

The last—but definitely not least—on our list is the mighty Pixel Gun 3D Ultimatum that’s introduced in the 15.3.0 update. Almost every pixelgunner—new and veteran—knows about this legendary gun, and that’s not surprising. However, if you’re curious about its backstory, check out the Database with the notes from the Creator.

The weapon deals extremely serious damage, pierces through walls and other obstacles, and can one-shot opponents when upgraded. That kind of performance is exactly why Ultimatum is one of the best Pixel Gun 3D primary weapons for pixelgunners.

As for its look, it’s hard to miss. The triangular shape, sci-fi design, and blue-and-purple color scheme make it stand out instantly—especially when it fires and flashes bright blue across the battlefield. You know you wield power when the Ultimatum is in your loadout. But that's not all.

Once you have it, you can use different skins that not only change the look but also add unique effects to the weapon. Find them in themed chests and show them off on the battlefield.

Right now, there are two main ways to get Ultimatum. Similar to some of the other mentioned mythical guns, you can sometimes find Ultimatum in the Lottery Chest, so collect keys and keep your eyes peeled to not miss it. Also, the weapon is occasionally featured in themed events.

Each season offers new activities with different reward pools, and you can find many powerful Pixel Gun 3D weapons among them, including the one and only Ultimatum. Thus, we recommend that you follow updates in the game and participate in those events to increase your chance of obtaining the weapon.

And that’s a wrap on our list of the top 5 best guns in Pixel Gun 3D—according to you, the pixelgunners.
