SG-09R Pistol

W-870 Shotgun

The shotgun is found in the Village Square from chapter 1, where you have to fight a lot of enemies.

You need to reach the northern building, where the game will play a cut-scene featuring a Chainsaw Man. Head to the upper floor and take the shotgun from the wall rack. It has much more firepower than the pistol, but is effective only at short range.

Flash Grenade

You can find Flash Grenades in the game world and they are disposable items. You can blind and stop enemies temporarily, for example, to escape them or attack them more easily.

Hand Grenade

You can find Hand Grenades in the game world and they are disposable items. They are great for killing or seriously weakening groups of enemies.

SMG TMP

The submachine gun is available for purchase from the merchant starting from chapter 3. Its default price is 10,000 coins.
