How to Fish weapons and damage
The table holds all 23 shop items of version 1.1.3: five guns, two melee weapons, Dynamite, the 1.1.0 Bow, seven gun attachments and seven tools such as the rods, the Radar and the Beer. Attachment prices change with the gun they go on, so their price column lists each gun.
Tier letters come from Game8's list and are opinions; the damage, fire rate and magazine columns are the numbers to compare.
The story needs one new weapon per island, in this order: the Knife, the Shotgun, the SMG, the Sniper Rifle for the Albatross and finally the Assault Rifle for the whales.
At base values the SMG and Assault Rifle lead sustained damage (about 480 and 570 per second), the Shotgun bursts about 340 while its two shells last, and the Sniper Rifle trades speed for 200 per shot.
Bullet upgrade count per island
Bullet damage upgrades are capped by the island you buy them on. The 1.1.3 shop data caps them at tier 3 on the Forest, 6 on the Desert, 9 on the Rocks and 12 on the Volcano.
Older wiki tables list higher caps for the early islands, so check the shop when a number disagrees.
Melee weapons and Dynamite
The Knife ($45, 16 per hit) is the only melee weapon worth buying; Brass Knuckles ($24) hit for 5. Dynamite ($25 a stick, 200 area damage) is the utility explosive for fishing, swarms and boss piles.
