There is a wide selection of Atomic Heart weapons scattered throughout the open world. Each one is important to find as it will expand your arsenal and allow you to broaden your options in combat. But what weapons do you have to choose from?
Whether you are looking for a long-range option, or to switch up your sidearm or melee weapon, Mundfish has put a lot of different options into this FPS game for you. There are even experimental weapons in Atomic Heart that utilise the game’s setting. Below, you can find an overview of them all, but you will need to expand and increase your inventory in Atomic Heart in order to be able to hold several of the larger weapons in the game.
Atomic Heart weapons
The full list of Atomic Heart weapons is:
- Swede

The descriptions and images below all detail how the weapon works in the game and are lifted from the inventory screen.
Swede
A Cornered Swede is worse than a razor.
MP
The Makarov pistol, or MP for short, was present in every Vostok cosmonaut’s equipment kit, which makes it the first firearm to have gone into space.
KS-23
A multipurpose weapon designed for crowd control, selective force, psychic, and chemical warfare. In other words, just what the doctor ordered.
Kalash
This assault rifle was developed by a Soviet designer after World War II as a response to the German assault rifle and American semi-automatic carbine. High reliability and ease of maintenance make up for its low-shot grouping.
Electro
A reliable weapon that is included in the standard equipment of all Soviet cosmonauts.
Dominator
A heavy pulse cannon that releases spheres of compressed electrified polymer. After being fired, each polymer projectile retains its shape due to its own electromagnetic field, then explodes upon reaching the target, releasing a large amount of potential energy and causing significant pinpoint damage.
Fat Boy
Don’t be a menace to the West while drinking your yoghurt in the hood.
Railgun
A devastating, powerful Railgun.
Pashtet
It slices, it dices, it chops the enemy to pieces!
Fox
Red rust on this axe’s butt is the only thing it has in common with a fox. It also bears a threatening message to the enemies of its owner.
Zvezdochka
The Zvezdochka may be slow, but it only needs to hit you once.
Snowball
An improvised two-handed axe made of several welded pipes, its blades are crafted from sharpened sheets of metal. Can be upgraded into a full-fledged mace.
That is all of the Atomic Heart weapons in the game that you can find as you are journeying across the Atomic Heart map. For even more gameplay tips, read through our guides and tips on the game in our Atomic Heart walkthrough article.
Developer Mundfish has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks after it was alleged that the Russian government stands to gain financially from the release of Atomic Heart. This is due to the fact that investors involved in the financing of Mundfish include GEM Capital, an investment fund whose founder has ties to Gazprom and VTB Bank, both of which are majority-owned by the Russian state.
Mundfish is also partnering with VK (formerly Mail.RU) for the Russian release of Atomic Heart, evading sanctions on Steam – VK is also majority-owned by the Russian state through Gazprombank, and Mundfish’s CEO is a former Creative Director at Mail.RU.
With Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, many players are now choosing to boycott the game in protest and donate money to organisations like The Ukraine Crisis Appeal, International Rescue Committee, and the British Red Cross.
