This guide will help you find the right weapon for the right boss fight! Includes pictures of weapon in action, along with the EX move too!
Just a couple notes
Weapons (or shots) cost 4 coins each, meaning you’ll have to pay 20 coins to have every weapon in the game (not counting the free peashooter weapon you start with), this guide will however NOT show locations of coins.
Air type stages can only have darts or bombs to attack. You unlock bombs after talking to the plane guy in Inkwell Isle 2.
I’ll also explain every EX move in the game, and every Special EX move because why not?
Also all ground battles will fight Goopy on Regular difficulty, with all air battles will fight Hilda on Simple difficulty, there will be no second weapons, Charms or Special EXs for these battles.
Testing Special EXs will be done in Goopy, with a Peashooter weapon.
And without further a do, let’s begin this guide!
The Peashooter
“Standard issue weapon. Long range with average damage.” – Peashooter Tool-Tip
The Peashooter is a basic weapon you’ll start out with at the beginning of the game.
As suggested by the Tool-Tip, it shoots a long distance and deals normal damage. It’ll shoot in the direction where your character is pointing to.
Cuphead Shooting
It’s EX move is the Mega Blast, after clapping, you send a huge blue shot, dealing big damage to anything caught within it.

It’s recommended for battles that require long range weapons that are able to shoot straight and fast, example would be Ribby and Croaks.
The Spread Shot
“Short range with great damage – if you can keep close to your target” – Spread Tool-Tip
The Spread Shot is a short-ranged type weapon which does lots of damage.
As suggested by the Tool-Tip, it does great damage with the drawback of short range, meaning that you’ll have to be closer to the enemy to deal damage than any other weapon, meaning you could take damage more easily.
Cuphead shooting in 5 directions.
It’s EX move is the Eight Way, after clapping, you send 8 pointy projectiles in the 8 directions, these 8 EX shots can deal damage, wonder what would happen if you EXed at a boss’s face?
Note how it shoots out in 8 directions?
It’s recommended for battles that’ll make you get near the boss a lot, example would be the Onion from the Root Pack.
