# Weapons
Weapons are assets that can be used by all Heroes, regardless of their [race](/nidum/collections/races.md). Users can upgrade their weapons but they cannot use weapons that are classed as higher in level than their Hero’s Experience Level. The same applies to their Weapon Mastery Level.
The Experience Level must match (or exceed) the following Weapon Levels:
* **Common - 60 Lvl**
* **Uncommon - 70 Lvl**
* **Unique - 75 Lvl**
* **Rare - 80 Lvl**
* **Epic - 90 Lvl**
* **Legendary - 100 Lvl**
To upgrade your Weapon Level, you need to use [Gear Wheels](/nidum/resources/other.md).
You can now increase the Tier of a weapon and enhance its characteristics with the Assembly system.
To do this, you need a weapon blueprint (labeled WBP). You can get them from Bonus Boxes in the Hero Upgrade Module.
The game now features 6 weapon Tiers for each weapon type, and each range is better than the previous ones. Currently, there are only three types of Common weapons in the game:
#### **Railgun pistol**
* [Impact type](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md): **Kinetic** (inflicts [Bleeding Status](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md#bleeding))
* Damage type: Target
* Power level: 156
* Minimum damage: 39
* Maximum damage: 49
* Energy cost: 2
* Skill name: Powerful shot
The pistol creates a high-energy field around the cartridge, which allows it to inflict terrible bleeding wounds.
#### **Wave modulator**
* [Impact type](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md): **Hydro** (inflicts [Wet Status](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md#wet))
* Damage type: Target
* Power level: 135
* Minimum damage: 80
* Maximum damage: 130
* Energy cost: 3
* Skill name: Wave blast
The weapon emits a deadly energy wave that interacts with the fluid in the target's body
#### **Taser**
* [Impact type](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md): **Electric** (inflicts [Charged Status](/nidum/battle-arena-pvp/impacts-statuses-effects.md#charged))
* Damage type: Target
* Power level: 275
* Minimum damage: 220
* Maximum damage: 290
* Energy cost: 5
* Skill name: Charged shot
The weapon generates a powerful electric discharge that causes tremendous damage to the target.
