In Abyss, guns are your main tool for catching fish and progressing into deeper and more dangerous areas. Each upgrade makes fishing faster, smoother, and more efficient, so choosing the right gun at the right time matters a lot. This guide covers all guns in Abyss, how their stats work, and the best progression path to unlock them. Also check out our Fisch Codes for more rewards!
How Guns Work in Abyss
Fishing in Abyss is built around a harpoon minigame. After firing your gun at a fish, you must keep the fish icon inside a green bar until a meter fills up. Winning the minigame secures the catch. Every gun affects this process through three key stats:
- Damage Damage determines how much health you remove from a fish with each shot. Weak fish can sometimes be caught instantly with high-damage guns. Stronger fish require multiple hits before the minigame even begins. Higher damage becomes more important as you explore deeper zones with tougher fish.
- Control Control affects how easy the minigame feels. A higher control stat makes it easier to keep the fish inside the green bar. Low control guns make the minigame more unstable and harder to manage.
- Cooldown Cooldown is the time between shots. Faster cooldown lets you fire again sooner, which helps when chasing fast or high-rarity fish.

Most guns are sold in hub areas:
- Henry’s Harpoon Shop (Forgotten Deep): Early and midgame guns
- Crazy Jeff’s Store (Ancient Sands): High-tier guns
- Marcus NPC (Ancient Sands): Crossbow Gun

Exploring new regions unlocks access to stronger equipment.
