The weapons and abilities that shape each run
Browse the current weapon and active ability lineup in Where Giants Fall. Most weapons auto-fire; Titanward strikes through Dash. Weapons evolve into manual ultimates and keep growing through mastery upgrades, while active abilities add timing, utility, and clutch decisions on top of the auto-fire core.
v0.70 development snapshot: this page highlights the current weapon and active ability roster, including weapon ultimate mastery and active ability upgrade paths.
Build Identity
See how weapons and abilities carry a run
Weapons define your run rhythm
Auto-fire weapons carry the run minute to minute. As they evolve, they unlock manual ultimates and later upgrades can reshape those ultimates through cooldown, duration, projectile, impact, and finale changes.
Active abilities are the clutch decisions
Mobility, survival, crowd control, and burst damage all sit on top of the auto-fire foundation. Each active ability can grow into stronger behavior upgrades instead of only larger numbers.
Built for quick comparison
Each detail page follows the same structure, making it easy to compare upgrade paths, ultimates, cooldowns, and combat roles at a glance.
