AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon ranks the best fully upgraded weapons in Mina the Hollower, highlighting top-tier picks like the Battery Buster and Guardian Casket for mid-to-endgame progression.
Yacht Club Games has returned with Mina the Hollower, and players diving deep into the retro-inspired adventure are finding out that progression requires serious time, effort, and bone grinding. Because upgrading your arsenal demands a heavy investment, prioritizing the right gear early makes all the difference when you hit the mid-to-endgame encounters. While starter favorites like the Nightstar flail serve you well in the opening hours, fully upgraded late-game loadouts completely change how you approach combat. Polygon has put together a comprehensive breakdown ranking all five fully upgraded weapons from best to worst.
For players who prefer keeping distance without sacrificing offensive output, the Battery Buster stands out as the ultimate pick. Its bullets can travel nearly the full horizontal width of the screen, support diagonal firing, and ricochet endlessly off obstacles to clear out rooms before enemies even close the gap. Meanwhile, the Guardian Casket shifts the meta toward defensive mastery. Beyond blocking incoming attacks, its timing-based parries obliterate minor foes, and upgrades like the Coffin Toss let you use the shield as a returning projectile that can even help you cross wide map gaps.
Mastering these high-tier tools requires patience, especially with heavy-hitting options like the Blaststrike Maul that demand precise timing and combo execution. Checking out the original guide on Polygon provides all the specific weapon locations and upgrade paths you need to optimize your build. Prioritizing the right equipment ensures your hard-earned bones go toward gear that actually transforms your playstyle for the tougher challenges ahead.
