Weapons (Slaughterday Night Live)

Slaughterday Night Live features an arsenal of 34 weapons, most unique to SDNL and some taken from other games in Tower Unite. Weapons are separated into main 4 groups: normal, melee, special, and super.

Every weapon deals double damage on headshots (indicated by a yellow 'CRIT!' by the damage number). If a player is killed with a headshot, a red 'HACKER' text pop-up will appear on the killer's screen. Some weapons share ammo pools, meaning certain weapons can start with more reserved ammo than listed here if a weapon using the same ammo was acquired in the same life.

Melee

Close-range weapons and tools that often have unique secondary attacks.

	Katana	Alt fire lunges you forward at high speed.	1 - Melee	20	0
	Sword and Shield	Alt fire holds up a shield that has 100HP and blocks damage from the front.	1 - Melee	80	0

Special

More exotic guns than the normal variety, and other non-gun weaponry. One of these (plus the Stealth Box and a 50% chance for the Plush Grenade) is granted on spawn in Arcade mode, and they can be obtained from a pickup in Arena mode on Hinderance.

Image	Name	Information	Slot / Type	Damage	Clip Size	Reserved Ammo
	Crossbow	Bolts travel in an arc and can bounce off floors. Bolts stick into enemies they hit, which adds a trail as they move until the bolt despawns.	6 - Special	90 (Direct hit) 100 (Bounce hit)	5	15
	Springfield M1 Garand	Right click looks down sights. Makes a loud ping once the clip is emptied, but not when reloading.	6 - Special	45	8	16
	Sniper	Right click looks down the scope. Vaporizes enemies killed by it.	6 - Special	80	10	0
	Plush Grenade	Does not roll on the ground after being thrown, instead slightly bouncing before landing. Explodes and releases a cluster of mini-grenades 1.5 seconds after being thrown. Has a 50% chance to appear in the loadout each spawn in Arcade mode. Can also be collected from 'Special' weapon pickups in maps that have them.	1 - Special	100 (Direct hit)	1	0
	Grav Glove	Alt fire can grab physics props, projectiles launched by weapons, Flags, and the Oddball, then throw them back with primary fire; damage depends on the velocity of the prop when it hits the player. While not holding an item, primary fire shoots a short-range laser beam that deals 5 damage.	6 - Special	5 (Laser) 100 (map props - direct hit)	Infinite	N/A
	Stealth Box	Not actually a weapon; cannot deal damage. Crouching with this equipped makes you become invisible and switches to a third person perspective. Only available in Arcade mode.	7 - Special	0	0	0

Super

Rare, powerful weapons, often capable of insta-killing players. These can be obtained from special pickups in Arcade, Arena, CTF, and Team Oddball.

Image	Name	Information	Slot / Type	Damage	Clip Size	Reserved Ammo
	RPG	Can be used to rocket jump, but inflicts self-damage; damage can be evaded by double jumping beforehand.	6 - Super	100 (Direct hit)	5	0
	Minigun	Rapidly fires bullets; the barrel does not need to be wound up first. It can be used to fly by shooting downward.	6 - Super	20	100	0
	Grenade Launcher	Grenades explode into a cluster of mini-explosions. Alt fire launches sticky grenades which explode a few seconds after impact.	6 - Super	100 (Direct hit)	6	0

	Cannon	Short range weapon that launches a giant cannonball in an arc. Cannonballs explode on impact. It can be used to blast jump, but will inflict self-damage if used to do so; damage can be evaded by double jumping beforehand.	6 - Super	100 (Direct hit)	6	0
	Decimator	A powerful laser rifle that instantly kills anyone directly hit by it. It can be used to blast jump.	6 - Super	200	10	0
	Egon Cannon	A rare minigun-like laser cannon from Zombie Massacre with limited range.	6 - Super	18	100	0

	Bowling Shotgun	Launches a bowling ball forward at high speed which explodes after a few seconds. Players are damaged by both the ball itself and the pin explosion; damage dealt by the ball seems to depend on its velocity.	6 - Super	100 (Direct hit)	10	0

Trivia

• The ghostly Kalleira that appears from the Plush Grenade explosions is Kalarry, a custom emoji in the Tower Unite Discord server.
• The smartphone/scope attached to the Sniper weapon has a classic DOOM-inspired HUD on its display.
• The Cannon is the only weapon held at the bottom center of the screen, rather than at the bottom right.
• The Laser Saber comes in various colors, selected at random when obtained.
• Over the course of SDNL's development, a few weapons were listed on the roadmap, but were later removed. Other weapons had models created for them, but were never added into the game.
  • Melee: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat, Pen
  • Normal/Special: 9MM Pistol, Akimbo, Firework Launcher
  • Super: The Shield, Game Console, Tower Glove
  • Unknown: Tanegashima, Deletion Bomb, Inter-dimensional Portal, XM8
• In pre-release versions of SDNL, the Cannon's projectiles used to bounce off walls before exploding, similar to the Bowling Shotgun. This behavior was removed since it was difficult to hit players with.
• The Assault Shotgun was originally going to have a silencer attached, but this was scrapped during SDNL's development.
