Weapons

Weapons, variants, and the shotgun loop

Unlock variants from the New Weapon Earned notice, and use the shotgun reset loop only as a kill method, not as a published threshold for every weapon.

Weapons, variants, and the shotgun loop

Unlock variants from the New Weapon Earned notice, and use the shotgun reset loop only as a kill method, not as a published threshold for every weapon.

Two different unlocks

Playing can unlock weapon variants. Buying a Robux pass is a separate listing. A New Weapon Earned notification is the checkpoint for a variant. A pass price is not that checkpoint.

  1. Use the gear already in your session.
  2. Watch for New Weapon Earned.
  3. Press Unlock on that notification when it is offered.
  4. Check Weapons. Rewards is a separate top-right menu in the 5 November recording.

Crystal Kraken and Bug are names that appeared on those notifications. They do not publish a timer, a kill count, or a mutation recipe.

What the 5 November hotbar showed

Pistol, Bow, Great Sword, Baseball Bat, Throwing Knives, Push, Repulse, Move, and Team Designator. That is an observed bar, not the whole catalog. The developer also describes shooting, slicing, biting, injecting, and powers inspired by fictional characters, without listing every name.

With the Pistol selected, click fires and E near a subject hands it over. A later narrated session also hands over a Great Sword and identifies E for that handover. That does not prove every weapon can be given to a subject, or that the subject will always attack. Ragdolls can fight each other, according to the developer.

A kill loop that walkthroughs actually show

One beginner video uses the shotgun on a map whose captions come out as Bolab, Biolab, or Bio Lab. Ragdolls there stand close together.

  1. Equip the shotgun and get the group in range.
  2. Turn Doctor mode off before the farming loop.
  3. Eliminate the prepared subjects.
  4. Use Reset Experiment so the subjects return.
  5. Confirm they are back before you fire again.

The same video says to use that map for kills, then switch maps when you want a different experiment. It does not publish how many kills the next weapon needs. Another walkthrough's mastery screen uses the Railgun as an example at 1,200 kills. Follow the number on your current weapon panel. The 1,200 figure is a dated example, and Update 4 announces a weapon unlock and progression rework for 14 November 2026.

There is also an off-sale game pass named Railgun, with no price and a blank description. Do not treat that pass and the mastery example as the same offer.

Other names from walkthroughs

Grenades are described as needing an unlock first. Leaf Blower Minigun, Taser, Shrink Ray, Large Ray, and a Squish power are named in gameplay guides. The developer separately says you can apply heavy weight and watch ragdolls squish. No damage, rarity, or ammo rules were published for these names. Push, Repulse, and Move are force or placement tools on the observed hotbar. Team Designator is a tool, not a damage weapon.

How to choose

Use the Pistol when you need either a shot or a subject that is holding a gun. Use the shotgun loop when the goal is repeated kills and the subjects are already grouped. Use a melee weapon when the test is contact. Use Push, Repulse, Move, or Hands when the test is position rather than a kill. Then read Doctor if the question is what the body did.

Cards for the named gear and the current passes are in Weapons and passes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ragdoll Research?

It is a free Roblox physics sandbox by Ragdoll Shenanigans. Ragdolls react to players and to each other, can fight, and can be squished, thrown, crashed, and injected with mutations that unlock journal entries. Weapon variants unlock by playing. The root place is 135264274035761.

Are there working codes?

No developer-published code string was found in the game description, the Ragdoll Shenanigans events, or the pass listing checked on 11 November 2026. A code button was also not confirmed in recorded gameplay. That is not proof a code can never exist. Do not treat Daily Rewards, group rewards, journal pages, or weapon unlocks as codes, and do not use codes from a different ragdoll game.

How do I discover a mutation?

On the recorded PC layout, open Test Chamber 01 and press one labeled mutation button. Watch the body change, then look for a green NEW JOURNAL PAGE message and open Journal on the left. The readable panel labels are Wings, Long Arms, Big Head, Tentacles, Diamond, Long Legs, Bug, and Plant. A walkthrough describes unlocking a matching syringe after a discovery.

When is Update 4?

The developer event City and Elementals is scheduled for 14 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC through 16 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC. The listing includes new guns and melees, elemental abilities, a weapon-progression rework, a City map, more vehicles, secret quests, avatar clothing and props, a lollipop melee and silly accessory bundle, multiplayer improvements, and bug fixes. The start time is still in the future as of 11 November 2026, so those lines are not live instructions yet.

Can I create a VIP server?

The Roblox experience record checked on 11 November 2026 has VIP server creation turned off. The root place metadata also lists a one-player cap, while a second place is named {Multiplayer Server} Ragdoll Research and the developer description says full multiplayer. Use the in-game Servers menu rather than a private-server purchase.
