Weapons

Weapons are the primary combat tools in Galactic Glitch. Players can equip primary weapons to deal damage to enemies throughout their runs.

Overview

Weapons in Galactic Glitch determine your main combat style. Each weapon has unique characteristics including fire rate, damage, projectile behavior, and special effects. Weapons can be found in shops, as rewards, or from defeated enemies.

There are currently 21 weapons available in the game, obtained by farming specific enemies for their blueprints.

How to Get Weapons
