At A Glance
I Wanna Test The Game weapons are shop gear, not starter inventory. You earn Souls from enemies, crouch into red Mario-style pipes, and buy from Rambo Guru, the Dar of Souls. The core path is pistol Level 1 → 2 → 3, with M37 Shotgun, Swuvle melee, and late luxuries like The Greatest Gun In Robloxia, SM Javelin, and Bloxxer Cannon. Third Eye is a shop key item for the secret boss, not a gun. Verified August 16, 2026 · Place 11684369582 · Play on Roblox · Discord.

How do I get the gun?
How to get the gun in I Wanna Test The Game: you do not start armed for combat. Progress until you find a red pipe, crouch to enter the shop, and spend Souls on the pistol (or another listed weapon). Early runs often unlock the first usable gun mid-path; deeper pipes sell Level 2 and Level 3 pistol upgrades.
- Do01Clear enough enemies to bank Souls (see the souls guide for farming habits)
- Do02Spot a red Mario-style pipe along the stage path
- Do03Crouch into the pipe to open Rambo Guru’s shop UI
- Do04Buy the available pistol upgrade (or M37 / other listed gear if that is your goal)
- Do05Exit the shop, then equip with Q/E (or bumpers) and confirm left-click / Square shoots
- Do06Crouch-save before the next fight so a death does not strand you past the shop
Souls first, then the pipe
Weapons cost Souls. If the shop lights up an upgrade you cannot afford, leave, farm the previous combat pockets, and return — do not force Stage 6 cold. Pipe locations and buy order live on the shop page; farming habits live on the souls guide.
Gun progress tends to stick
Community runs treat pistol level as persistent across Retries in a session — once Level 2 or 3 is bought, you keep the upgrade for later stages. Exact Souls prices shift with Beta versions, so trust the live shop UI over any outdated screenshot.
Once you own a gun, the next problem is knowing the full arsenal — including the shotgun and late exotics — so you do not waste Souls on the wrong flex item.
What I Wanna Test The Game weapons exist?
This is the working roster for I Wanna Test The Game weapons in the Beta Test. Names match shop / badge text where verified; treat costs and exact DPS as live-check because Project I Wanna still ships combat updates.

Pistol upgrades vs everything else
For a first Sagat clear, prioritize pistol upgrade Level 2 then Level 3. Shotgun and exotic guns are situational or badge goals. Third Eye is a key item for Zenithega, not a DPS substitute — see secret boss.
Badges that prove exotic kills
Use This! wants a killing blow on a boss with an explosive ranged weapon. Say Hello To My Little Friend! wants an enemy kill with The Greatest Gun In Robloxia. Neither badge is required to finish the Beta Test ending.
Next: decide when the pistol upgrade is worth the Souls — timing matters more than owning every named gun.
When should I buy a pistol upgrade?
A pistol upgrade is the highest-ROI Souls spend for most clears. Community tutorials place Level 2 around middle shops and Level 3 deeper — if you die constantly early, you may arrive underfunded for Level 3.
| Situation | Buy? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| First comfortable mid-run shop with Level 2 available | Yes — Level 2 first | Speeds enemy clears and softens later mini-boss screens |
| Later pipe shows Level 3 and you still have Souls | Yes — Level 3 before Sagat | Best default Max Gun prep for Stage 6 |
| Shop shows Greatest Gun / Bloxxer Cannon first clear | No — skip | Luxury / badge route; bank Souls for pistol levels instead |
| Third Eye available but Sagat still scary | No — skip | Secret route item; buy after a stable main clear |
| M37 Shotgun on sale and close-range pockets feel awful | Situational | Useful burst tool — still buy pistol levels first when both compete |
| Broke at the Level 3 pipe | Farm, then return | Use souls guide pockets; do not enter Sagat undergunned on purpose |
Shotgun timing
The M37 Shotgun appears in Stage 4-era update showcases. Treat it as a close-range supplement after your pistol path is funded — not a replacement for Level 2–3 when Sagat is the goal.
Owning the upgrade is useless if you cannot switch onto it mid-fight — next section is the equip loop.
Next: buy upgrades, then farm Souls

How do I equip, switch, and shoot?
Combat gear only works when the right mode is selected. Official controls cycle Select → Pistol → Swuvle; shoot only fires when a gun is equipped.
| Platform | Switch weapon / mode | Shoot | Shop items |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC | Q / E cycle Select · Pistol · Swuvle | Left mouse click | X twice to equip / unequip shop buys |
| PlayStation | R2 toggles gun / select | Square while gun equipped | Use Items control (see on-screen prompts) |
| Xbox | Left / Right bumpers cycle Select · Pistol · Swuvle | Shoot while gun equipped | X — Use Items |
| Mobile | On-screen cycle (Switch-style face layout) | Fire control while gun equipped | X — Use Items |
Select mode vs pistol
Select mode is mainly a cursor / interaction mode on PC. On PlayStation, select mode is weak because you lack a mouse cursor — stay on the gun for combat. Console players should practice bumper swaps until pistol and Swuvle feel automatic.
X twice for shop gear
Bought assists and some arsenal items do not always sit on Q/E. Official text: press X twice to equip or unequip items bought from the shop. Mobile uses the Use Items face button the same way.
With switching locked in, plan the Stage 6 bag — pistol level first, then decide whether shotgun or explosives earn a slot.
What loadout should I bring to Sagat?
Stage 6 Vs. Sagat is where I Wanna Test The Game weapons stop being optional flavor. Bring the highest pistol level you can fund, keep crouch-parry ready, and only chase exotic guns if you are badge hunting.
| Goal | Loadout priority |
|---|---|
| First Sagat clear | Pistol L2 → L3 → assists only if leftover Souls |
| Faster enemy clears mid-run | Pistol upgrades, then M37 if close-range pockets stall |
| Explosive boss kill badge | Explosive ranged (SM Javelin / similar) for the finishing blow |
| Greatest Gun badge | Buy Greatest Gun, then get any enemy kill with it equipped |
| Secret boss unlock | Third Eye after main clear — not a Sagat DPS tool |
- Do01Pistol Level 2 minimum for a less painful first clear; Level 3 if Souls allow
- Do02Confirm Q/E (or bumpers) lands on pistol before the arena
- Do03Practice timed crouch parry on fireballs — holding crouch early fails
- Do04Skip Greatest Gun / Bloxxer Cannon until after a clean main clear unless farming badges
- Do05Leave Third Eye for the secret route after Sagat feels solvable
Parry still beats raw DPS
A Max Gun does not replace timing. Sagat’s uppercuts, Tiger lines, and fireballs punish panic shooting. Pair this page with the parry guide and the full Sagat boss patterns.

Where do I buy a pistol upgrade?
Red Mario-style pipe shops along the stage path. Level 2 tends to appear mid-run; Level 3 later. Confirm prices in the live UI.

The melee option in the Select / Pistol / Swuvle cycle. Switch with Q/E on PC or bumpers on Xbox-style layouts.

What is Bloxxer Cannon?
A late / expensive cannon showcase item. Confirm the live shop cost or unlock condition before grinding Souls for it.

Press X twice on PC (Use Items on mobile / console face layout) to equip or unequip items bought from the shop.
