Weapon Artist Jobs FAQ

How do I find weapon artist jobs in games?

ArtBlast sends curated weapon artist jobs daily from top game studios. Subscribe and get 10-60+ opportunities in your inbox every morning with direct apply links and salary information.

What skills do weapon artists need?

Strong hard surface modeling in Maya or 3ds Max, ZBrush for high-poly detail, and Substance Painter for PBR texturing. Understanding real-world firearm mechanics is important for military shooters. Fantasy and sci-fi weapon roles place more emphasis on design creativity and silhouette clarity.

What is the average weapon artist salary?

In the US: Junior Weapon Artists earn $50K-$68K, Mid-Level $68K-$95K, Senior $92K-$125K, and Lead positions $120K-$150K. First-person shooter studios that require high-fidelity weapon view models tend to pay toward the higher end.

Is weapon artist the same as prop artist?

Weapon artist is a specialization within the prop artist category. At large studios these roles are often separated because weapons require specific technical knowledge: first-person view models, modular attachment systems, and high-detail surface breakdowns at close camera range.

Are there remote weapon artist jobs?

Yes. Weapon art is well-suited to remote pipelines. ArtBlast includes work model details on every listing so you can filter by remote, hybrid, or on-site positions.
