Stunlock Studios’ latest survival game V Rising is based on a vampire theme, where players will play as vampires, and the gameplay mainly takes part at night. Weapons are one of the essential parts of survival games. It is almost impossible to get a survival game without weapons because, in a survival game, the presence of some powerful enemies is mandatory. Without defeating them, players can’t progress through the game. So, weapons are crucial to the players’ survival.
In V Rising, players will get tons of enemies to fight and numerous weapons to choose from. Every weapon the game features has some unique abilities but is not equally effective. Whenever a game features lots of weapons, the players become confused about which are the best to use. If you have been playing V Rising and finding a guide to know the best weapons to use in the game, you are at the right place. This guide will help you know the best and the worst weapons you can find in the game.
Best and Worst Weapon Categories in V Rising- Weapon Abilities Explained
In V Rising, different types of weapons are available, but not every weapon works effectively in every situation. Therefore, it is essential to know the weapon abilities of every category to determine which weapon to choose in which situation. Below we discuss the best and worst weapons in V Rising-
S Tier Weapons- Reaper
S tier Weapons are undoubtedly the best weapons in every game, and V Rising is no exception. In V Rising Reaper is the best weapon players can get. This weapon is excellent for wiping out a group of enemies simultaneously, but its only negative side is its speed. While the damage output is best, the attack speed is the weapon’s only problem. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Tendon Swing: Swing the weapon once, and enemies within its range will get 125% damage. It will knock the enemies back and inflicts a ‘fading snare’ for two seconds.
- Howling Reaper: throw the weapon, and it will deal 20% damage for 2.5 seconds to all the enemies within its radius. The first attack reduces the speed of the enemies by 1.5 seconds.
A Tier Weapon- Axes
A Tier weapons are one of the best weapons in the weapon class. In V Rising, we have chosen Axes as the A-tier weapon because, as melee weapons, Axes are pretty deadly in the game. They have X-Strike attacks along with ranged attacks. Axes are best for defeating powerful enemies. But like Reaper, Axes also has the problem with speed. Their speed is the only thing that they lack. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Frenzy: it deals 100% damage to the first enemy it hits and boosts the movement and attack speed of the vampires. The movement speed increases by 25%, and the attack speed increases by 30%. This ability can’t be used back-to-back. It has an 8 seconds cooldown time.
- X- Strike: in this ability, players can throw two axes in an ‘X’ shape which deals 85% damage when they hit the enemies. The speed of the enemies will be reduced by 1.5 seconds. This also has 8 seconds cooldown time.
B Tier Weapon- Slashers
Slashers are the B- Tier weapons because of their extremely low damage output. Slashers are one of the fastest melee weapons in the game, but their per-hit damage percentage is much lower than any other weapon. But one of the best things that Slasher has, which makes the slasher ranks higher than many other weapons, is its Camouflage ability, which allows the players to execute sneaky kills. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Elusive Strike: it deals 60% damage to the enemies and slashes them twice. This attack reduces the speed of the enemies by 2 seconds.
- Camouflage: though the attack has a 10 seconds cooldown time, it’s still one of the best abilities. Here, players can go invisible and attack the enemies, which deal 60% damage and make the enemies unable to attack for 3 seconds.
C Tier Weapon- Sword
In the sword category, players will get various choices like Bone Sword, Copper Sword, Merciless Copper Sword, Iron Sword, Merciless Iron Sword, Dark Silver Sword, etc. Swords are undoubtedly one of the best weapons in the game. Sword and Slasher can interchange their tiers as they both are equally good at wiping out enemies. Swords are great for one-on-one combats. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Whirlwind: swing the sword in the air, and it’ll create a tornado that will deal 35% damage to the enemies within its range. It will stay for 1.1 seconds and damage the affected enemies per 0.25 seconds. But this ability has a cooldown time of 8 seconds.
- Shockwave: the sword launches a shockwave that inflicts 60% damage to the enemies. It will hang the enemy in the air for 1.6 seconds, and if the player again uses the ability within this time, they will be taken to the enemy and can it the enemy three times back-to-back with each attack dealing 25% damage.
D-Tier Weapon- Spear
Spear is a good weapon to use in the game, especially for the players who love to play offensive. Spear has a good combination of attack speed and damage output. But the only negative thing that holds back Spear to D tier is that it can only take down one enemy at a time. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Thousand Spears: this ability deals 30% damage per hit and hits thrice in a row. Also, if players use the Spear during the execution of the effect of the spear, it adds a thrust at the end with 50% more damage. This has a cooldown time of 8 seconds.
- Harpoon: Throws the spear and pulls the enemy closer to the players. This deals 70% damage to the enemies in this process. It also has 8 seconds cooldown timer.
E Tier Weapon- Mace
Mace is not a bad weapon because it has a heavy damage rate and swing, but the only thing that makes Mace an E-tier weapon is its slow speed. The game has several slow weapons, but Mace is the slowest. It is impossible to fight a fast enemy with Mace. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Smack: it deals 50% damage to all the enemies and makes them unable to attack for 1.2 seconds. It has a cooldown time of nine seconds.
- Crushing Blow: it deals 110% damage to the enemies and snares enemies for 2 seconds. This ability has an eight seconds cooldown time.
F Tier Weapon- Crossbow
The crossbow is the worst weapon players can get in V Rising. It can’t be compared to the other weapons in the game. Though Crossbow is the only ranged weapon available in the game, it neither has good attack speed nor good damage output. It’ll be challenging to take down enemies using Crossbow. Below we are discussing its weapon abilities-
- Rain of Bolts: it’s an AOE attack where players can launch 5 crossbow bolts into the air, and they will rain down on the enemies within its range. It will snare the enemies for 1.5 seconds with 40% of damage. It has 8 seconds cooldown time.
- Snapshot: this attack fires one crossbow bolt, which snares the enemies for 2 seconds and deals 75% damage. It has 8 seconds cooldown time.
