Description
Among the earliest guns a new player can get their hands on, the Slingshot is sold by the Weapon Dealer in Middle Town for 5,000 Beli. As a common-rarity weapon, it sits at the very bottom of the power curve, but it serves as a practical way to start building your Gun stat and mastery from the moment you arrive in the First Sea. The Slingshot carries two moves: Ink Bomb and Proximity Bomb. These give it a small degree of utility beyond simple auto-attacks, letting you experiment with ranged combat mechanics early in the game. Most players swap it out quickly for higher-rarity guns as they progress, but for a beginner on a tight Beli budget it is a reliable first purchase. Put in the hits, raise your mastery, and you will outgrow it faster than you expect.

Slingshot — In-Depth Analysis
What Is Slingshot?
Slingshot is a Common rarity gun in Blox Fruits, sold by the Weapon Dealer in Middle Town during the First Sea for 5,000 Beli — one of the cheapest weapons in the game. Its price point makes it universally accessible within the first hour of play, and for new players testing whether a gun build suits them, it is the lowest-commitment entry point available.
Early-Game Performance
For early Sea 1 grinding, the Slingshot is actually functional: it has a very fast fire rate and can slow enemies hit by its squid-type projectile, which helps cluster NPCs during farming runs. The AoE and knockback on its skills are decent at the level range where it is used, giving it a minor crowd-management quality against groups of low-level NPCs.
The limitations are expected at this price bracket — damage is low across the board, Rubber users are fully immune, and the bomb-type move has a delay before detonating, making it nearly useless in direct PvP. Combo potential is close to zero; this weapon does not set up chains effectively.
- Best role: First Sea Mastery leveling and early NPC crowd control - Who it suits: brand-new players exploring the gun stat for the first time - Concrete tip: Use the squid slow to bunch nearby NPCs together for faster multi-target farming, then immediately switch to a higher-tier gun once you can afford one — the Slingshot's damage ceiling is hit almost immediately.
