TL;DR
Charge Shot
The Charge Shot is often highlighted for its high damage output, making it a favorite among skilled players who can manage its mechanics. It allows players to inflict significant damage without needing to constantly aim at the enemy, as you can charge your shots while focusing on dodging attacks [2:7]. However, some players find it inconvenient because it disrupts their usual playstyle of holding down the shoot button continuously
[1:2].
Crackshot
Crackshot is praised for being easy to use and is particularly recommended for the DLC content in Cuphead [5:1]. It's considered a suitable choice for players who prefer focusing on survival rather than precision aiming, as it allows them to concentrate more on avoiding damage while still dealing consistent hits
[1:4]. Some players, however, view Crackshot as a weapon for beginners due to its simplicity
[1:9].
Roundabout
Roundabout is another highly favored weapon due to its versatility and power. It is especially effective in situations where enemies are behind you or when you need to maintain distance while still hitting targets [2:2]. This weapon is often paired with charms like Smoke Bomb for enhanced mobility and survivability
[2:2].
Weapon Preferences and Strategies
Players have varied preferences based on their playstyles. Some prefer weapons that allow for strategic positioning and dodging, like the Chaser, which lets them focus on staying alive [1:4]. Others enjoy the challenge and high reward of using Charge Shot, despite its demanding nature
[2:8]. The choice of weapon often depends on the specific boss fight or level, as well as personal comfort with the weapon's mechanics.
In conclusion, the best weapon in Cuphead often comes down to personal preference and playstyle. While Charge Shot and Roundabout are frequently mentioned for their effectiveness, Crackshot offers an accessible option for those prioritizing ease of use.
How can charged shot be you least favourite, it’s really good
I hate how it's used. I like holding the shoot button down, charge is really inconvenient for me and while the damage is great it's just unfun to use in my opinion.
I hold down the shoot button even more when I use the crackshot
I bind my switch weapon button to an easy button to hit and hold down shoot, but switch weapons to fire the charge.
I can feel ya I hate charge shot with a burning passion I would rather kill every boss with the shotgun rather than charg shot.
I use chaser because I need to be focusing on staying alive not killing the boss
Favorite: charge
Least favorite: crackshot
Same, crackshot is for newbies
weapon is good
its for noobs
The only time i used twist-up is when completing the divine relic, literally no other situation where i would use twist up when I could just as easily look diagonally up
I love charge it is really strong if you are good
It’s literally the only way I beat barnacle
Rondabout is the best weapon, smoke Bomb is the best charm and the best super is the first one. Change my mind.
Maybe I’m bad, but I thought the double hearts was the best ability. Followed by one extra heart and smoke dash. I think roundabout and charge are the best weapons
The double heart ability makes your dps so bad, and thats why people don' t like to use it a lot. The main play that you use it in is run and guns, when your trying to get the Pacifist rank.
The twin heart should be used to people that are bad at dodging
That’s true. I feel that with charge u can get a lot of damage done since you don’t have to be continuously aiming down the enemy. For most levels I can just flick and hit most shots
Dude the only thing that can outclass the charge in dps is point blank spread
I took it into basically every boss that shit is so good
Swap charged shot and coffee
Wouldn't say swap. Coffee is still the best charm for any aerial fight
Exactly, my setup during expert was charge and coffee
My setup dusting expert were like twin heart smoke bomb roundabout and red attack(tell me which is its name pls)
Charge shot is godlike wdym
I pretty much exclusively use charge.

Is there a way to break ladders?
no?
This! Heaps of baddies afterwards, and they still can’t find you.
Until one of them tosses a grenade up there, lol.
I just wait for them to get to the top and boot them off again lol
I made the whole town hostile doing this lmao
Every time I try this I end up climbing down the ladder. lol
I mean just stand a little back from the edge . As you kick you'd move forward a step and you will land the hit
This!! on the ladder close to the interchange in Slatten Dale is a solid way to farm ammo
And get weapons to barter with..
I’d thought I’d messed up trying to hide from a patrol up there. Turns out I was a one man Leoniadas
live cuphead reaction
Cup: What did you do with my coins?!
Mug: You asked for crackshot, but I only purchased twist up.
Cup: YOU WHAT?
Hippity hoppity, this meme is now my property
Someone caption that meme
I thought that was a sardine from spongebob,
Bloodhou... oh wait i expected elden ring with this title nevermind
Despite seeing the image I still expected elden ring when I clicked on the post for some reason lol
Cracked shot imo
Crack
Best FOR the DLC? Charge. Best FROM the DLC? Crackshot.
Charge roundabout are the best
I've recently tried charge but it seems pretty useless in times of dire need.
I tend to go roundabout and spread.
Is charge good when you get good at timing ?
The only time I used Charge was when I beat the Devil. It was really useful then cuz you can focus on dodging attacks more.
just don't be in times of dire need lol
(for legal reasons, this is a joke)
Yes, it is.
As a person who beat cuphead in 2 days I’m gonna say pea shooter and spread.
Of course others are so much better on certain levels, but if your talking about overall, I’m gonna have to go with those two.
I'd replace pea shooter with roundabout
Yeah i'm talking overall
They all have their own uses. But if there was only one to keep... Roundabout forever
why?
Charge forever
In my opinion roundabout is the best

Youtube title : Hidden mechanic you didn't know!
this CRAZY secret CHANGES the entire game!
Would be funny if that triggered an instant rage
BAWGAWD HIS ANKLES
I just learned that when chachaboi charges at you like that, you can roll a barrel bomb at him. He will nom the bomb and explode.
Modded
Really? Some dude joined the game and dumped a bunch of guns on us we figured they were some crazy ng+ guns lol
Yes, but they surely didn't do good at that anyway. You could kill this boss faster with proper builds (even at lower levels).
That gun (looks like a Kaoson), which incidentally drops from that boss exclusively (I think), is a "boss-melter" in general. Combine that with some of Moze's Demolition Woman passives and you'll deal so much damage that you don't even need modded items.
someone may have dropped you modded guns that have infinite ammo, but they didn't even make them powerful enough to instantly kill a level 53 boss that isn't boosted by Mayhem mode.
you could achieve better results by just using legitimate weapons as moze or zane, with an ammo regen build, and still have infinite ammo. lol
Explain how this is op? That was a slow kill for 2 beastmasters and an operative on the lowest difficulty possible.
I didnt realize people have guns that 1 shot bosses 😬 Last time I played this there wasnt even any DLCs out lol
People were oneshotting graveward a week after launch.
Do people really feign ignorance when it comes to modded guns?
Lol Im just doing a playthru w some friends, I don’t grind the game like some of these people I guess🤣 Havent touched the game since it came out, we just wanted to replay it since BL4 is on the way. I dont know meta builds or anything ab modding, just play the game for fun
This was hilarious. At first I saw the the title and saw it was captain traunt and thought “captain truant is an easy boss, one shotting him doesn’t make a gun OP”. Then I saw it was modded and thought “you’re bragging about a modded gun that can do things that legitimate guns can do?”.
But then it didn’t even one shot him. Didn’t even melt him. Took like 10 seconds 😂
not to mention they used a fire weapon, it did more psychological damage to me than it did to taunt
Nobody tell OP about the plasma coil 😂
Roundabout anywhere but S-tier is insane
Bro the zeus gun is not and A tier and the roundabout anywhere under A is just s joke
Zeus gun loll XD
Charge in the same tier as twist up is insane. Also r/screenshotsarehard
It looks like this might have been on a school or work laptop, which probably blocked Reddit.
I don't know if Chromebooks have a Print Screen Button for easy screenshots though.
They do
Offc crackshot is overrated at S...
I suppose s is a bit high but imo it is the best
Ignoring you didint take a screenshot, charge at C is a crime against humanity
I’m sorry but lobber above Charge and Roundabout? That’s not right
A single cowboy with the best weapon in the American Old West, a Japanese ninja with the best sword that ancient Japan could offer and any other traditional tools ninja carried in that time period including poisons, etc, and a pirate with an average-sized crew armed with only melee weapons from the height of piracy in human history. The cowboy and the pirates have no idea the ninja is there.
The pirates are drunk and sleeping off hangovers on their ship, so they have homefield advantage. The cowboy and the ninja enter their crew at different times and are unaware of each other. The cowboy will be recognized by his attite, whereas the ninja is completely disguised to blend into the crew and is hiding a blade on their person.
Rules:
Rather than ask "who would win," we should investigate in what version of these circumstances would
Wheels wheelchair into 200 ft tall hydraulic spider with intent to

B) Get said ladies out dis dress.
C) Kill Jim West.
Cowboy gets tnt and a Gatling gun. I can’t see what anyone else can do
I dont' think a gatling gun is much help when you are on a ship full of pirates.
Add a Bible and you'll get Reverend Ray from Call of Juarez.
Assuming the cowboy has to be on the ship, unless he has an extremely defensible position, I don't think a gatling gun is enough to stop 100+ pirates rushing him down from multiple angles in relatively close quarters that they know better than him, even if he kills half of them in an opening surprise attack. And if cowboy does just hold a defensible position, he's not advancing, and the pirates have time to organize and possibly arm, at which point he'll still be in trouble. If they really can't dig him out they could set fire to the ship and escape in rowboats while he's holding his defensive position.
I might also argue a "real" American cowboy probably would not have much fighting experience, much less experience with a gatling gun. He's a cattle-herder, not a gunslinger. The average cowboy would not be in a single gunfight his entire life. Surviving on the frontier is much more about wilderness survival and animal husbandry skills than pistol duels, contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe.
The tnt can definitely down the ship, but then isn't the cowboy going down as well? Once the ship ends up in the drink, and all the guns get water-logged the cowboy is no better than any other pirate. If even two survive, he's outmatched.
His best chance might be setting a ton of tnt on a long fuse, then trying to steal some kind of jolly boat and row as far as he can before it goes off. Night is his ally. But even at night, I'm not confident a land-locked cowboy would even know how to launch a jolly-boat single-handedly. I don't think it's usually a task undertaken by one man. And if anyone sees him at any point the resulting kerfuffle is going to ruin his tnt plans. 6/10.
I actually think the ninja has a better chance than people are saying - sleeping off the hangovers implies it's night-time, which means the ninja isn't necessarily outed. Without electric light someone with a proper disguise could definitely move around a dark ship full of drunks with his race unknown. If the cowboy can escape unnoticed in a jolly, the ninja probably can too. At that point (assuming the tnt went off) he just has to track the cowboy and slit his throat in his sleep. Not easy, or even likely, but it's not impossible.
A cowboy with a repeater and enough bullets would probably take it. I can remember what type but the Rifleman repeater
Old West era (i.e. pre-1910) firearms mean the Cowboy gets a .44-40 Marlin 1894 lever action, two S&W Double Action top-break revolvers (also in .44-40), a Mauser C96 pistol, and a MFing Maxim Machine Gun as well! The small arms are just for cleaning up whichever of the crew weren't cut to pieces by the Maxim.
he gonna wheel the gatling gun onboard? a ship has 3d action , he misses 3 and out of ammo he is dead
The Maximgun is much simpler.
It depends on when the cowboy and pirates exist. Pirates and cowboys are still both a thing now.
A modern cowboy with the best weapon in the Midwest (which is not really known for cowboys BTW) would probably have something like an AR-15.
OP specifically says “American Old West”
So pre-1910. The cowboy could probably have a lever action and/or a semi-automatic pistol or revolver. Even if it’s a modern day pirate as well, the best melee weapon he’s got would be a machete
Depends on how you want to define "best weapon". The cowboy could have a nuke.
