Weapons, repairs and upgrades
Hellraiser: Revival has five collectible firearms, degradable melee weapons and Genesis Configuration powers. Repair a melee weapon before it breaks: a broken weapon is discarded and cannot be repaired.
What I checked
The firearms, repair recipes and upgrade route below follow PowerPyx's launch walkthrough and roadmap, checked on 14 October 2026. No measured damage or DPS ranking is claimed.
All five firearms
Guns, Lots of Guns requires the five firearms. Keep manual saves because the game has no chapter select.
| Weapon | Acquisition in the published route |
|---|---|
| Pistol | Story pickup after the flashlight and power reset |
| Shotgun | Body beside the graveyard landing |
| SMG | Obtain during the statue-piece route |
| Revolver | Zora's second shop after the Statue's Head; 300 coins |
| Assault Rifle | Zora's third shop during Hunt Marlowe; 450 coins |
How to repair melee weapons
Use a repair kit on a damaged weapon while it still exists in your inventory. Keep kits available before extended combat; waiting until durability reaches zero loses the weapon.
The Basic Repair Kit recipe is sold at the first shop for 120 coins and crafts from 1 Scrap, 1 Cloth and 2 Coils. That coin price purchases the recipe once. Basic and Advanced Repair Kits are also among the recipes needed for crafting completion.
Stealth knife kills conserve ammunition and ordinary melee durability. The Nailer is the Deluxe melee extra, not an additional firearm required by the five-gun trophy.
A practical full-upgrade route
PowerPyx recommends the SMG for Lord of War because many attachments can be found rather than bought. Fill five slots with Drum Magazine or Laser Pointer, Linear Compensator, Heavy Foregrip, Supersonic Bullets and Skeletonized Bolt Carrier.
For Trickshot, the roadmap recommends the Assault Rifle with AP Rounds, then lining up two weakened enemies. This is a trophy route recommendation, not a claim that the rifle has the highest DPS.
Use the Genesis Configuration on blue-flashing Unworthy to regain Suffering. Telekinesis and later Hellchains add combat options, while Chatterer chase encounters require escape rather than gunfire.
Questions
Can I repair a broken weapon?
No. PowerPyx reports that it is immediately discarded. Apply a repair kit before the durability is exhausted.
Is the Nailer required for all firearms?
No. It is a Deluxe melee weapon; the firearms are Pistol, Shotgun, SMG, Revolver and Assault Rifle.
