S Tier – Best Detectors in Desert Detectors

The Ringed Radar is the best detector in Desert Detector. Other than this, you can also go for Core Detector, as it offers the best cost-to-value ratio in the entire game. Not only does it have the best range across all detectors, but it also packs decent speed. This allows you to rush toward the item before anyone else does.

Detector	Stats	Cost	How to Get	Pros / Cons
Core Detector	Speed: 2.2Range: 3.2	1750	Farm	+ Decent speed and range+ Great for mid-game+ Low cost
Ringed Radar	Speed: 1.6Range: 4.1	25000	Archaeologist’s Shack	+ Great Range+ Detects high-value items faster– Low Speed– Expensive
Steel Skull Detector	Speed: 1Range: 3.9	14000	Archaeologist’s Shack	+ Good range– Low Speed

A Tier

Detectors in this tier don’t have substantial cons, so you are free to go with the one you prefer the most. For example, if you want speed over range, pick the Triangular Detector, and if vice versa, the Signal Detector is a great choice. Despite having the best stats in the entire game, I’ve ranked Demon Detector in the A tier only because you have to buy it using Robux.

Detector	Stats	Cost	How to Get	Pros / Cons
Demon Detector	Speed: 7Range: 10	R$ 795	In-game Shop	+ Best speed and range– Can only be bough using Robux
Prehistoric Detector	Speed: 2Range: 3.2	17000	Archaeologist’s Shack	+ Decent speed and great range for mid to late-game– One of the most expensive detectors in the entire game
Signal Detector	Speed: 0.6Range: 4.1	4000	Farm	+ Great range– Low speed will slow you down
Triangular Detector	Speed: 4.1Range: 1.2	7500	Farm	+ One of the fastest detectors+ Great for quickly finding items– Low range

B Tier

These detectors are great for early to mid-game and will help you find some of the most valuable items.

Detector	Stats	Cost	How to Get	Pros / Cons
Foreign Detector	Speed: 0.5Range: 3.3	5750	Farm	+ Decent Range– Will slow you down– Expensive
Gold Detector	Speed: 2.9Range: 2	1000	Buffalo Bill’s Shop	+ Good enough speed and range– A little costly but worth it
Silver Detector	Speed: 1.7Range: 2.4	450	Buffalo Bill’s Shop	+ Great for mid game+ Will help you progress through early game quickly

C Tier

The detectors mentioned in this tier are only good when you are just starting out. From the three, I’d suggest buying the Copper Detector as soon as you have the money for it and the levelling up from there.

Detector	Stats	Cost	How to Get	Pros / Cons
Copper Detector	Speed: 1.7Range: 1.7	275	Buffalo Bill’s Shop	+ Low cost+ Great for early game– Adequate range and speed
Rusted Detector	Speed: 0.5Range: 2	100	Buffalo Bill’s Shop	+ Decent range– Low Speed
Dusty Detector	Speed: 0.1Range: 0.8	NA	Starter Detector	– Lowest speed and range
