Criminality Roblox weapon combos maximize burst damage and cover reload vulnerabilities in the punishing combat environment of SECTOR-07. Successful player kits typically combine a hard-hitting primary or shotgun with a fast-firing secondary, or leverage melee crowd-control effects to set up guaranteed firearm follow-ups.
Because CRIMCORP designed Criminality with fast time-to-kill mechanics and severe death penalties, relying on a single weapon often leaves you vulnerable during long reloads. Community testing highlights several distinct loadouts tailored to different budget tiers and combat ranges.
Budget Weapon Combos
Players operating on limited cash reserves frequently rely on low-cost dealer weapons to eliminate geared opponents without risking expensive inventory.
Sawn-Off Shotgun + TEC-9 (or Beretta)
The Sawn-Off Shotgun costs $175 from standard dealers, making it the cheapest firearm in the game. It loads two shells, holds eight in reserve, and fires eight pellets per shot dealing 12 base damage (17 to the head, 8 to the legs). Its primary drawbacks are a sharp damage drop-off beyond roughly 11 studs and a lengthy 2.5-second reload time.
To offset the Sawn-Off's capacity limit, players pair it with a high-rate-of-fire secondary:
- TEC-9 Finish: Fire both double-barrel shells at point-blank range, then immediately swap to the automatic TEC-9 to spray down any remaining health.
- Beretta Variant: At $250, the Beretta provides an even cheaper alternative. Its burst-fire mode functions similarly to a machine pistol, allowing players to finish low-HP targets without buying an expensive secondary.
The Double Sawn-Off ("Double DB")
Because normal weapon dealers carry two Sawn-Off Shotguns in stock, players can purchase one, drop it on the ground, buy the second, and pick the first one back up.
Carrying two double-barrel shotguns allows you to discharge four consecutive shots by hot-swapping between guns, effectively skipping the 2.5-second reload animation in close-quarters skirmishes.
Blunt Melee + Sawn-Off Execution
Blunt melee weapons (such as the standard Bat or Metal Bat) inflict a ragdoll effect when landing clean hits. In community testing, a reliable close-range tactic involves knocking an opponent to the ground with a blunt swing, immediately swapping to the Sawn-Off Shotgun, and landing a point-blank headshot while the enemy cannot dodge or return fire.
Mid-Range and High-End Combat Combos
When running standard lobbies with accumulated cash, primary-secondary pairings provide the range flexibility needed to survive group fights.
Ithaca 37 + Desert Eagle
The Ithaca pump-action shotgun delivers heavy close-range damage, while the Desert Eagle offers strong stopping power at medium range. In player tests, pairing the Ithaca with a Desert Eagle allows you to contest both indoor hallways and open street engagements. Community creators also frequently pair this loadout with a Rage Dose consumable to boost sprint mobility and close distance aggressively.
AK + G18 or M1911
The AK is widely regarded by experienced players as one of the strongest automatic rifles in the game. While weapons like the M4A1 ($3,100) offer low recoil, the AK provides heavy damage output per hit.
- Sidearm Choice: Pair the AK with a G18 for close-range full-auto backup, or an M1911 ($450) for accurate semi-automatic cleanups.
- Armor Pairing: In player combat testing, this loadout is best run with a Tier 1 Vest and a Tier 2 Helmet. The Tier 1 Vest avoids movement speed penalties, while the Tier 2 Helmet provides extra protection.
AKS + Ithaca 37
For players seeking recommended weapons, community posts on the Criminality Wiki suggest an AKS and an Ithaca for medium and close quarter combat. The AKS handles mid-range suppressive fire at roughly half the cost of an M4, while the Ithaca secures close-quarters defense against melee rushers and shotgun users.
Melee Rush and Unarmed Combos
Melee combat in Criminality relies on movement, stamina management, and specific hit-chain mechanics.
Katana + Rage Dose
The Katana is a popular unlock due to its slashing range and high melee damage. When combined with a Rage Dose, the increased movement speed enables players to close gaps before firearm users can line up lethal shots, quickly decapitating or downing opponents in crowded casual servers.
Fists 3-Hit Concussion Combo
All players spawn with standard Fists, which possess a built-in combo mechanic:
- Left-Hand Chain: The combo sequence must be initiated with punches from the left hand.
- Uppercut Finish: Landing three consecutive punches triggers an uppercut that concusses and stuns the target.
- Armor Bypass: The damage from this fist combo mechanic bypasses enemy body armor, making it a viable last-ditch counter against heavily armored players if you catch them off guard. However, getting hit by an enemy melee weapon will reset your combo chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest effective weapon kit in Criminality?
The Sawn-Off Shotgun at $175 is the cheapest gun in the game, capable of eliminating targets within 11 studs if pellets land cleanly. For ambushing geared targets, players also use a budget $550 kit consisting of an M1911 ($450) and a stun grenade to blind and hold up players holding high-value weapons like the AK or M4.
How does the Double Sawn-Off loadout work?
Because weapon dealers carry two Sawn-Off Shotguns in stock, you can buy the first one, drop it on the floor, purchase the second from the dealer menu, and pick up the dropped weapon. This places two independent Sawn-Off Shotguns in your hotbar, giving you four shots before having to sit through a reload.
Does the Fist combo bypass body armor?
Yes. The built-in 3-hit fist combo—which finishes with a concussive uppercut when initiated by the left hand—bypasses worn armor, allowing unarmed players to stun and damage armored opponents if they avoid taking melee counter-hits.
