Weapons win fights in 1v1.lol, but only if you pick the right one for the right moment. The game has four main weapons: the Assault Rifle, the Shotgun, the Sniper Rifle, and the Axe. Each one works best at a different range. In this guide, we explain every weapon, when to use it, and how to get the most damage out of it.
Assault Rifle: The All-Rounder
The Assault Rifle is the most flexible weapon in 1v1.lol. It works at short, medium, and long range, it fires fast, and it is easy to control. If you are new to the game, this should be your main weapon. Use it to damage enemies at medium range, to break their walls, and to finish a fight after you hit them with a Shotgun or Sniper shot. The Assault Rifle is not the strongest weapon at any one range, but it is good at every range, which makes it the safest choice in most fights.
To use it well, aim for the head and chest, fire in short bursts at long range, and hold the trigger up close. Keep moving while you shoot, and reload early when you get a safe moment.
Shotgun: The Close-Range King
The Shotgun is the most powerful weapon in the game at close range. One good Shotgun blast can remove a huge part of an enemy’s health, and two blasts can end a fight. It is the best weapon for Box Fights and for surprise attacks from around a corner. The Shotgun fires slowly and has a short range, so you must get close before you shoot. If you miss at close range, switch to your Assault Rifle right away instead of waiting for the next Shotgun shot.
The best way to use the Shotgun is to build close to your enemy, break their wall, and fire the moment you see them. Aim for the chest and head. Do not waste Shotgun shots at long range. The pellets spread out and do very little damage from far away. Save it for close fights, where it is the king.
Sniper Rifle: The Long-Range Killer
The Sniper Rifle is the most dangerous weapon at long range. A single headshot can do massive damage, and a good sniper can end a fight before the enemy even gets close. The Sniper Rifle is perfect for open areas and for the start of a match, when enemies are far away. If you miss, your enemy will know where you are and will build cover or rush you.
To snipe well, find high ground, stay still for a second, and aim carefully. Shoot where the enemy is going, not where they are. After you fire, move to a new spot so the enemy cannot shoot back. A good sniper controls the whole map.
Axe: The Building Breaker
The Axe is not a gun, but it is one of the most useful tools in 1v1.lol. You use it to break enemy structures: walls, ramps, and floors. A good player with an Axe can destroy a whole enemy base in seconds. The Axe is also a backup weapon when you run out of bullets. It does decent damage up close, but its real job is breaking things.
Use the Axe when an enemy hides behind a wall. Instead of wasting bullets on the wall, hit it with your Axe and break through. Then switch to your Shotgun and finish the fight. The Axe is also useful for gathering materials. Hit structures in the arena to collect resources for your own builds. Never forget your Axe. It is always in your inventory, and it is always useful.
Best Weapon Combos
The best players in 1v1.lol do not use one weapon. They use combos. Here are the most popular weapon combinations:
- Shotgun + Assault Rifle: Hit with the Shotgun up close, then switch to the Assault Rifle to finish the enemy. This is the most common and most effective combo in the game.
- Sniper + Assault Rifle: Damage the enemy from far away with the Sniper Rifle, then switch to the Assault Rifle when they get closer.
- Assault Rifle + Axe: Break the enemy’s walls with the Axe, then shoot them with the Assault Rifle before they can rebuild.
Practice switching weapons quickly. The number keys 1 to 5 on PC let you switch weapons fast, and on mobile you can tap the weapon icons. Fast switching is a skill, and it wins fights.
Weapon Tips for Every Fight
Here are a few simple rules for every weapon. First, always reload after a fight, not during one. Second, keep your distance in mind: Shotgun up close, Assault Rifle at medium range, Sniper at long range. Third, never stand still while shooting. Fourth, use your Axe to break enemy cover instead of wasting bullets. Finally, practice in the Aim Trainer every day.
