Road to Vostok Weapons Database

A light hunting knife commonly found in Area 05. Reliable for close-quarters self-defense and utility tasks. Every survivor should carry one as a backup weapon.

A heavier Finnish bushcraft knife with superior damage over the Jaeger. Found occasionally in Border Zone caches and Village traders.

The largest and most powerful melee weapon in the game. Rarely found in Vostok-adjacent loot. Best-in-slot for silent takedowns.

The most common sidearm in Road to Vostok. Lightweight, easy to trade for, and excellent for new players. 9x18mm ammo is found almost everywhere, making it the most reliable backup weapon early game.

A classic .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol with higher stopping power than the Makarov. Heavier but punches hard per shot. Good choice for players who prioritize damage over ammo availability.

A polymer-framed 9x19mm pistol with a larger magazine than the Makarov. Fast rate of fire and widely available 9mm ammo make this a popular mid-game sidearm.

The legendary Finnish Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. 70-round drum magazine and 800 RPM fire rate make this an absolute shredding machine. At 6.2kg it is the heaviest weapon in the game — but the stopping power is unmatched. A symbol of Finnish stubbornness. Extremely rare and highly sought-after trade item.

A pump-action shotgun delivering massive close-range damage. Each shell deals 80 damage — enough to down most enemies in one or two shots. Slow to reload and limited range, but devastatingly effective in the tight corridors of Village or Shipyard. Perfect for ambushes.

The compact carbine variant of the AK family. Lightweight at 2.8kg and hitting hard with 5.45x39mm rounds. Excellent all-rounder for both Area 05 and early Border Zone runs. A top recommendation for mid-game players.

The iconic modernised Kalashnikov in 7.62x39mm. Widely regarded as one of the best all-zone rifles due to its excellent damage and the relatively common availability of 7.62x39 ammunition. A must-have for Vostok raids.

The modern Russian service rifle. Higher rate of fire (700 RPM) than the AKM. Found primarily in the Border Zone and Vostok. Excellent choice for players who have progressed past Area 05 and need a reliable Military-tier rifle.

The Finnish-made assault rifle. High rate of fire combined with 7.62x39mm power makes this one of the most sought-after weapons in the game. Heavier than the AKM but with superior fire rate. A prized trade item.

A compact NATO carbine exclusive to the Vostok zone. Lightest rifle in the game at 2.75kg while maintaining 740 RPM fire rate. Only worthwhile if you survive long enough to extract it — the risk-reward ratio is extremely high in permadeath territory.

An integrally suppressed assault rifle firing subsonic 9x39mm rounds. Extremely quiet, making it ideal for stealthy runs in Vostok. The highest RPM non-SMG in the game. 9x39mm ammo is scarce — conserve your shots.

The .308 variant of the KAR-21 battle rifle. Highest single-shot damage of any rifle in the current build. The .308 caliber allows for long-range engagement and impressive armor penetration. Scarce but devastating.

The .223 variant of the KAR-21. Lighter than its .308 counterpart and found almost exclusively in Vostok. The .223 caliber offers a good balance between damage and ammo weight, making deep Vostok raids more viable.
