In the Roblox game Shoot For Eggs (created by Eggs are the coolest thing ever!), you get new guns primarily by purchasing them sequentially from the Gun Shop using Cash generated by your plot animals. While you spawn with a basic Pistol and can occasionally claim free shop offerings, advanced weapons like the Flamethrower, Minigun, and RPG remain locked until you complete a Rebirth.
Because egg health scales rapidly from thousands to billions across the range, upgrading your weapon is necessary to crack eggs quickly before they despawn.
Step-by-Step: How to Get New Guns
Getting guns in Shoot For Eggs follows a strict progression loop tied directly to your plot economy. You cannot skip tiers, as the shop requires you to own a weapon's immediate predecessor before unlocking the next.
- Equip your starter weapon: Every player starts the game with the basic Pistol in hand at no cost.
- Shoot eggs and carry them home: Use your current weapon to empty an egg's HP bar at the shooting range, carry the dropped egg to your plot, and place it in a slot before it despawns.
- Generate Cash: Allow the egg's hatch timer to complete. The resulting pet passively earns Cash per second.
- Visit the Gun Shop: Interact with the Gun Shop located in your base area. Check if any zero-cost bonus weapons, such as the observed free Small Uzi, are currently claimable.
- Purchase the next gun in line: Spend your accumulated Cash on the next available weapon along the ladder.
- Rebirth to access locked tiers: Once you reach the end of the standard pre-Rebirth ladder, use the Rebirth mechanic to unlock the high-tier weapon shelf.

In separate community gameplay sessions, alternative weapon names such as the Horn Pistol ($1,500), Heavy Revolver, and Hunter Rifle have appeared in different rotations or shop layouts. Because developer patches frequently update the shop ordering and pricing, always confirm the cost displayed on your live in-game screen before committing your balance.
How to Unlock the Rebirth-Locked Guns
The strongest weapons in Shoot For Eggs cannot be acquired with standard cash grinding alone. In recorded playthroughs, the ladder abruptly halts after rifles like the Lever Action Rifle, displaying the remaining weapons behind a Rebirth requirement.
The five Rebirth-gated weapons are:
- Flamethrower
- Sniper
- Grenade Launcher
- Minigun
- RPG
Rebirthing resets your current Cash, level, and trained damage, but awards permanent stat growth multipliers and grants access to the locked weapon shelf. Once the locked shelf is unlocked via Rebirth, you still need to pay Cash to buy the weapons, culminating in the Mythic-tier RPG priced at $5,000,000. Players using the RPG report being able to break high-tier and Transcendent eggs in a single shot.
Other Ways to Obtain Weapons and Damage Boosts
Beyond purchasing firearms sequentially through the Gun Shop, players have observed a few secondary avenues for weapon upgrades and damage bonuses:
- Free Shop Prompts: In recorded playthroughs, a Small Uzi machine gun appeared as a free pickup directly on the shop interface. These offers appear to function as session bonuses or beginner aids, so check the shop menu whenever you return to your base.
- Spin the Wheel: Players can use the in-game lucky wheel every five hours (or via promotional views/ads) to land on temporary boosts, damage buffs, or egg prizes that accelerate weapon purchasing power.
- Developer Products and Passes: The game features optional Robux purchases that modify your weapon performance. Store listings include a 2x Damage game pass for 99 Robux, alongside developer products ranging from 1.5x up to 8x Training Damage. A one-shot kill option costing 19 Robux per shot has also been observed in live gameplay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does buying a new gun increase your base Damage stat?
No. Your base Damage stat and your equipped weapon function as two separate damage layers. Your character's Damage stat increases by training at the DamageAuto pad or upgrading your shooting target. Buying a better gun increases the direct damage dealt per shot, reducing the number of bullets required to shatter an egg.
Can you skip guns in the Gun Shop?
No. Guns must be purchased in sequential order. You cannot save up for a high-tier weapon like the Plasma Gun or RPG without first purchasing the preceding rungs on the ladder.
Why is an egg taking no damage from my gun?
If an egg's HP bar does not move when fired upon, its health pool is too large for your combined weapon tier and trained damage output. When this happens, switch to lower-HP eggs, expand your plot with higher-earning pets, and train on your damage pad before buying the next weapon upgrade.
