Abiotic Factor Weapon List: Melee, Ranged, and Throwable Stats

Abiotic Factor gives players plenty of ways to turn scavenged junk, alien parts, and actual firearms into survival tools. The right weapon depends on range, ammo access, repair materials, and whether the target is a pest, a soldier, or a science problem with legs.

This guide lists melee, ranged, and throwable weapons. Ammunition details are included where the weapon uses ammo, but off-hand shields are not covered here. Some entries are also tools, which means they have no durability and do not need repairs.

Complete Abiotic Factor Weapon Reference

Use melee weapons when resources are tight or enemies can be controlled safely. Use ranged weapons when distance matters more than ammo conservation. Throwables are best saved for bursts of damage, crowd control, or disabling threats before they get too close.
