Exploding Disc

Exploding Disc is your first weapon. The Disc can be used to stun opponents when thrown. After landing it will explode after 2.5 seconds but, the player can uppercut or kick it extending the explosion timer a bit. You can jump on Exploding Disc while it is mid air.

Grenade

When thrown the Grenade will explode on impact with a Player or NPC or after 1.5 seconds. Be careful using it, you may kill yourself. Can be redirected by a dash. Highly effective against Vacuum enemies if you manage to make them suck it in.

Boomerang

The boomerang flies out and back to its thrower. If Player or Cat Guard gets hit, it will be stunned for a short time. The boomerang can also be used to grab gems and yarn from afar.

Dodgeball

This is primarily a stun weapon that will bounce around after its initial toss. You can use it as a platform to jump higher.

Fireball

Fireballs ignite Cat Guards and Players upon contact. While ablaze, you can touch other Cat Guards or Players to set them on fire as well. If you are on fire and you jump in water you will bounce off it just like it was a Lava Block.

Ice Cannon

Fires 2 ice blocks at a time and at varying trajectories. Ice blocks will freeze cats on impact making them unmoveable while players can move slowly and hard without jumping, it also provides a really small resistance towards wind and can save players from fire.

Fan

The Fan will push creatures away when used in close proximity. The Fan can also be used to deflect most weapons.

Vacuum

Vacuum sucks cats and prisoners towards it, but be careful, it can also suck in Grenades that will instantly kill you. Switching weapons while using Vacuum will make it blow away for the remaining duration. It also blocks Hazards going towards you.

Dart Gun

The Dart Gun fires a dart that will stick to most surfaces and knock down characters it hits. Darts that are stuck to a wall can be used as platforms and will un-stick after a short time. This means that if you time them correctly you can skip some parts of some levels!

Forceball

The Forceball is a timed weapon that fires away and upward. At the end of its timer, it explodes, sending off a circular wave of force. You can also use it right next to a solid surface to simulate a really high jump (11 blocks without additional jumping, and 15 with). It can force Toast out from Toasters too even if they are blocked.

Paper Airplane

Generally flies in a straight line until it hits something and become crumbled. Pressing the weapon button again while in flight or while it is crumpled will cause it to explode. If you die the Airplane will explode upon your revival.

FrogBomb

The FrogBomb is a moving proximity bomb. It will traverse all types of terrain and will explode upon contact with Player or Cats (excluding Black Monster and Cat Ship). The FrogBomb won’t come that close to standing cats so the explosion would kill them by itself, this is not the case with Players.

Acid Bubble

The Acid Bubble will dissolve opponents that come in contact with its sides or bottom. It’s also an utility weapon; you can jump off from the top of it, you gain one additional mid-air jump if you do that.
