How to Fish Weapons & Upgrades

Evidence-led weapons and upgrade guidance for How to Fish.

Checked 2026-08-26 · Applies to Official Steam store and achievement listing

Quick Answer

Steam confirms that catches fund better gear and weapons, and its achievement list confirms that a weapon can take attachments. No official source found here publishes a trustworthy weapon catalogue, DPS table or tier list.

Confirmed decisions

Spend earnings on an upgrade that supports the active quest or upcoming boss rather than a fan-tier ranking.
“Fully equipped” on Steam confirms a single weapon can receive all attachments; it does not identify the weapon or attachment list.
Record game version and save state before testing a weapon interaction.

Known report, not a fix

A Steam discussion after PATCH 1.0.8 contains reports of weapons or hotbar items not appearing. This is Reported, not an official acknowledgement or recovery method. See Fixes for safe checks.
