On the upside,their damage output is pretty consistent and has good armour piercing which makes Thrumbo Horns a good choice for early tomid game. The reason the Thrumbo Horn isn’t higher on the list is because as soon as you get access to longswords and maces it gets outshined. This is a fantastic melee weapon and if you manage to get your hands on one you’re quids in. You can buy a gladius from any outlander combat and orbital combat supplier, or steal one from pirate raiders. To craft a gladius you will need to have Smithing researched and either a Fuelled Smithy or an Electric Smithy. In terms of cooldown, it is on par with the knife, offering a rather quick damage output. It has a really good balance between DPS and cooldown, all wrapped up in a very budget friendly package. The Gladius is a really well balanced option if you are after something that can cope with a variety of scenarios this is a pretty good shout. In order to craft an Ikwa, you will need to research Smithing and have access to a Fuelled Smithy or an Electric Smithy. Like the knife, the Ikwa has a quick cooldown which makes misses and mishits less detrimental allowing less skilled colonists the chance to level up a bit without risking their lives. This means the Ikwa is actually a great choice of weapon for hunting. The likelihood of getting in a well-placed stab to an organ is higher while preserving the rest of the body. The Ikwa is basically a short spear with stabbing as its primary damage type, this makes it great for punchy targeted damage. The Knife requires a Crafting Spot and only 30 material. Skill friendly for crafting and wielding.Its very quick cooldown makes the knife a very skill friendly choice, even if the colonist misses their attack a follow-up stab will come quickly after.

However, as a blunt weapon, it is more effective against armoured attackers when compared to weapons that deal in sharp damage. It is a blunt weapon and therefore does not cause the bleeding effect which means it will take a few more swings to kill an opponent vs a sharp weapon. On top of that clubs have no quality level which means any of your colonists can craft a club without sacrificing the effectiveness of the weapon. The club is probably the best starting weapon available in the game, it requires no research and can be crafted at a simple crafting spot. 10x damage multiplier against buildingsįor a Breach Axe, you will need to have Smithing researched as well as access to either a Fuelled Smithy or an Electric Smithy, it will cost you 50 material.Typically though the breach axe isn’t much use to the player, but is something they need to be wary of as it will be used against them. It is a weapon that primarily does blunt damage and therefore uranium is the best material to use. After that time each unit of wort will have been converted into a beer.Īs the name suggests the breach axe is far better at tearing down buildings and breaching walls than it is against people. Place 25 wort into a fermenting barrel and leave it be for 6 days.Construct a brewery to process 25 hops into 5 wort, no minimum skill level is needed.Plant hops, you need a minimum of plants skill 3.Other than that though it isn’t really any use. For a bit of a joke it is a great option, or maybe if you want a really tough challenge. It does a whopping 4.5 DPS (wow) and has a 2 second cold down so it is actually pretty quick. You may be surprised to see this on a melee weapons list but it is possible to use beer as a weapon!
