Best Weapons

In Outward it is essential that you have a good weapon. Although you can get several for free at the beginning of the game they will not be the best weapons, they can however be used to help get better weapons. The following guide will tell you the best weapons in the game and where and how to get them.

1) Brutal Club

This weapon is found in then northern part of Chersonese in the Bandit Camp, it is a one-handed weapon that deals 29 damage. Once you have defeated the leader of the bandits you need to check his corpse to find a key to the adjacent throne room.

2) Cleaver Halberd

This weapon is found in then northern part of Chersonese in the Bandit Camp, it is a two-handed weapon that deals 28 damage and belongs to the leader of the bandits. At the Bandit Camp you have to face several bandits which are not particularly difficult to defeat if you can avoid their attacks. The leader of the bandits however is a different matter, to defeat him you will need to constantly move and dodge his attacks as they deal a large amount of damage. Before entering the Bandit Camp it is advised that you take the Life Potion and a temporary weapon ugprade called the Ice Rag or Fire Rage with you, these items can be purchased from an alchemist named Helmi Cierzo and you will find them useful to have.

3) The Simple Bow

This weapon is found in the north-western part of the map when you make your way to the Bandit Camp.
