Weapons
Every weapon named in Ragdoll Reality, grouped by role, with clear notes wherever damage, ammo or unlock thresholds are unpublished.
Introduction
The official Ragdoll Reality page describes a roster of more than twenty weapons and names twelve of them. Those twelve fall into four practical groups: unarmed interactions, melee tools, firearms and explosives. This page sticks to roles because the developer has not published damage, ammo, fire rate, cooldown or unlock thresholds for any weapon. That gap is important. A wiki can tell you that the Minigun is a heavy firearm and that C4 is an explosive, but it cannot honestly tell you which one kills a dummy faster. Where a number is missing, we say so instead of inventing a tier score that looks authoritative.
Named Weapons by Role
| Weapon | Class | Confirmed Role | Roster Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fists | Unarmed | Baseline strikes and hit-location testing | Named |
| Bat | Melee | Close-range impact | Named |
| Machete | Melee | Bladed close-range tool | Named |
| Pistol | Firearm | Ranged sidearm | Named |
| Shotgun | Firearm | Close-range firearm | Named |
| Sniper | Firearm | Precision single-target fire | Named |
Weapon Roster
Fists
Always available baseline Unarmed strikes that need no ammo or unlock. The official roster starts here. Because the interaction is always available, it is the safest way to compare a leg reaction with an arm reaction in the same session.
Bat
Close-range melee impact A melee weapon named in the official roster, built around swinging contact. Its value in the current build is readability: a clean swing makes it easy to see whether the dummy staggers or grabs the wound.
Machete
Bladed melee tool A bladed melee weapon listed in the official roster alongside the Bat. Use it when you want a deliberate limb test, then switch to Grab if the limb is already loose enough to remove.
Pistol
Ranged sidearm A firearm in the official roster with no published magazine size or fire rate. It is a practical way to study ranged hit reactions without committing to a heavier firearm that may obscure the result.
Shotgun
Close-range firearm A firearm listed in the official roster, associated with close-range impact. Test it at two distances and watch whether the dummy staggers differently, since spread and falloff are not documented.
Sniper
Precision firearm A precision firearm named in the official roster, suited to single-target fire. A long-range single hit is the cleanest way to isolate one body part before a fleeing dummy changes position.
Core Mechanics
Weapons enter your loadout through kills. The official description says defeating dummies unlocks new weapons, but it does not publish a kill count per weapon, so the order in which tools appear is not documented. The named roster suggests a rough progression from unarmed interactions to melee, firearms and finally explosives, yet that is an editorial reading rather than a confirmed unlock table. Practically, the mechanic rewards repeated sessions: every dummy you finish contributes to the same unlock loop, and the roster grows past the twelve named examples according to the official page's 20+ claim. Because there are no published stats, the meaningful comparison is role, not damage.
Advantages
The roster covers every distance. Fists, Bat and Machete handle close contact, Pistol and Shotgun cover mid range, Sniper reaches across the playground, and the Minigun, Rocket Launcher and C4 deliver heavy or area impacts. Utility tools are just as valuable: Push moves a dummy without picking it up, while Grab is the interaction behind carrying, throwing and ripping limbs off. That combination lets a player choose a tool to match an experiment rather than a tool to match a damage number, which suits a sandbox far better than a strict meta. Utility tools also keep the roster interesting for players who do not care about damage at all. A session built around Push, Grab and the playground can produce more varied physics results than a session spent cycling through firearms.
Challenges
The obvious weakness is missing data. Without published damage, ammo or cooldown values, no honest tier list can rank the twelve weapons by output, and community claims are hard to verify. Unlock thresholds are also unpublished, so a player cannot plan a route to a specific tool. The utility weapons can feel underwhelming if you expect every unlock to be a bigger gun: Push and Grab exist to move and dismember dummies, not to deal damage. Finally, a 20+ roster with only twelve names leaves a large unknown set that this wiki will not fill with guesses. The gap also makes community comparisons hard to settle. Two players can disagree about a weapon for weeks because neither has an official number to appeal to, and this wiki will not manufacture one to end the argument.

Quick Tips
Use Fists to learn hit locations before spending a unlock. The unarmed strike is always available and produces the same leg, arm and body reactions as a weapon, so it is the cleanest way to learn how the dummy responds without worrying about ammo or cooldowns. The same strike also costs nothing to repeat, so it is the cleanest way to establish a baseline before a firearm introduces range and ammo variables.
Treat Push and Grab as tools, not damage. Push repositions a dummy for a hazard, and Grab is the documented way to carry, throw and rip limbs off. A session built around those two interactions produces physics results that a bigger gun cannot reproduce. A throw from height or a shredder test can reveal behaviour that a damage-focused session never shows, and both are documented parts of the sandbox.
Do not trust exact damage numbers from third parties. The official page publishes none. If a video or post gives a precise damage value, ask which official source it came from. On this wiki, an unpublished number stays unpublished rather than becoming a confident-looking table. A number without a source is a guess, even when it is repeated by several videos, and this wiki will keep saying so until the developer publishes values.
