Weapons

Disclaimer

This wiki page might contain inexact information. Because the game is in heavy development, many balance changes are necessary, and some damage values or how the weapons behave are changed on an almost daily basis.

Also, since most of this page has been written, the whole combat system was completely overhauled with the addition of stamina, among other mechanics. Not all of the information here has been updated to reflect the current version of the game. This wiki page should still hold some usefulness, mostly to new players joining the community, or experienced players trying to figure out which weapons to choose.

You are encouraged to consult the discussion page to add comments or suggestions.
