you read the title lets get into this

6: chaser: that's right I consider chaser to be the worst weapon in the game. the reason being that the upside is misleading. lookingat the stats of this weapon it claims to do less damage but all your shots will conenct. this weapon is desinged to allow players to fight while focusing on dodging attacks, there's just one problem. you don't decide the target of your shots, they automatically aim. this is a big issue when it comes to bosses that spawn enemies or attacks that require you to shoot them to get rid of them, these will distract your shots and make them not hit the intended target, plus there are bosses who have items that are notorious for attracting chaser shots away from the boss like rumor honeybottoms and capitan brineybeard. this is the only weapon I'd say is a crutch and honestly you're better off just learning to aim

5: lobber: this is commonly seen as the worst weapon in the game altough unlike chaser there are at least areas in the game where this is useful, for example against rumor honeybottoms and grimm matchstick. it's nowhere near good but it at least has a niche

4: charge: this weapon is like a better version of lobber, it does more damage and you have more control over where and what you hit, it's very useful in hectic fights where you aren;t given many oppretunities to attack, like king dice for example. it's not amazing but it can give a fair amount of results.

3: peashooter: the stock peashooter is a solid weapon all around, not the best, not the worst. it makes total sense why this is the starting weapon

2: spread: one of the best weapons for close range, its useful against some of the harder bosses like beppi the clown and it can deal quite a bit of DPS if all the shots connect, the only thing holding it back is that there aren't a lot of situations where you can hit all the shots at once

1: roundabout: this is by far the best weapon in the game, this weapon succeeds at what chaser was meant to do. it doesn't get a damage penalty like chaser and it is hilariously effective at clearing the screen, jumping up and down while facing bosses is the best way to eliminate all incoming attacks (that can be taken out) as well as doing massive damage to the boss itself. I feel like roundabout doesn't get the love it deserves because it might seem awkward to use but face away from the boss and bounce up and down and see just how much hurt you can put them in. if you have a bad habit of relying on chaser, give this weapon a try
