Compshop Tier List
How We Rank Compshop Items
This Compshop tier list grades every meaningful shop item from S (best-in-slot) down to C (situational or starter only). Rankings consider raw income, ease of acquisition, beta-era balance, and how much each item moves your progression needle.
Because Compshop is still in active development by [Q]uantum, balance can shift between patches. We update this list after each major update so the rankings reflect the live beta. Bookmark this page and check it again before major part upgrades.
S-Tier — Best in Slot
S-Tier items define end-game shops. Use them as your north star when planning upgrades.
- Legendary GPU — single highest income component in any PC slot.
- Ultra Lucky Potion — must-have for serious gacha sessions, only from codes like Wnowell.
- Double Cash Potion during x2 Cash event — produces the effective 4x earnings window.
- Legendary mousepads — finish every high-tier PC station with one for compounding income.
- Expanded shop tiers — every new floor unlocks station slots that dwarf decoration income.
A-Tier — Strong and Reliable
A-Tier items are your mid-game backbone. Stack them while you save for S-Tier upgrades.
- Epic GPU and CPU parts — strong income while you save for legendary tiers.
- Double Lucky Potion from Pogisiren — better odds for solid mid-tier pulls.
- Arcade machines — steady secondary income after you have two or more PC stations.
- Tri-Fan Core — recent special item introduced through milestone codes.
- Nimbus — new collectible introduced through milestone rewards, prized for shop flair.
- Food station with a meal option — extends average customer session length noticeably.
B-Tier — Solid Mid-Game Picks
B-Tier items deliver dependable returns without taking priority over S or A choices.
- Rare PC parts (CPU/GPU/RAM) — solid upgrades you can pull without luck potions.
- Vesta — limited collectible granted by milestone codes such as SorryForDelay.
- Block View — furniture item earned from milestone bundles.
- Folding Chair — seating prop from the 2MVisits milestone bundle.
- Drink station — cheap food option that adds a small retention boost.
- Snow / clear weather sessions — keep gameplay consistent while planning upgrades.
C-Tier — Situational or Starter Only
C-Tier items are starting equipment or situational picks. Replace them quickly.
- Common PC parts — your starter components; never upgrade past them by choice.
- Decorative-only items with no functional bonus — keep a few for visuals, not income.
- Uncommon mousepads — fine for early slots, swap to legendary or epic as soon as possible.
How to Use This Tier List
Prioritize S and A items first. Use B items to fill gaps while you save for top-tier replacements. Treat C items as stepping stones — never spend more than necessary on them. Combine this ranking with our PC upgrade guide and potion timing guide for a complete progression plan.
