What is Rivals?
RIVALS is a competitive first-person shooter on Roblox developed by Nosniy Games (Nosniy and SenseiWarrior), released on June 28, 2024. Matches run from 1v1 up to 5v5, and the first side to win 5 rounds takes the match. Voice chat is enabled, and skill — not unlocks — decides the result.
Each loadout has four slots: Primary, Secondary, Melee, and Utility. The main currency is Keys, earned by completing tasks and contracts, and spent to unlock weapons and cosmetics. There are 53 weapons in total across three rarities — Standard, Prime, and Contraband — plus 5 gamemode-exclusive weapons. This wiki ranks only weapons that actually ship in the game; several popular 'tier lists' invent guns that do not exist, and we call those out wherever they appear.
