Armas

Jugador usando armas comunes.

En la naturaleza, usar sólo las manos para luchar, cazar o defenderse de criaturas hostiles no será muy eficaz durante mucho tiempo. Para poder acabar con las bestias salvajes o ponerte a salvo, primero debes empezar a utilizar armas. Hay una gran variedad de armas, normalmente clasificadas por el material del que están hechas (nivel), o separadas en a distancia y cuerpo a cuerpo.

Hacer herramientas puede fácilmente convertirse en un proceso de varios pasos, implicando diferentes tipos de mecánicas, como la talla lítica, fundición, herrería, y fabricación simple; esto puede dificultar el proceso de obtener mejores herramientas, pero el desafío lo hace aún más gratificante.

Es importante tener en cuenta que algunas clases de personajes tienen modificadores personales (rasgos) que pueden afectar la efectividad de ciertas herramientas:

• La clase Cazador otorga un 10% de aumento a todo el daño a distancia (arcos, lanzas arrojadizas, etc.), pero un reduce un 15% en el daño de las armas cuerpo a cuerpo.
• La clase Relojero da un 10% aumento del daño contra criaturas mecánicas, pero reduce un 15% el daño de arma cuerpo a cuerpo.
• La clase Guardia Negro aumenta un 20% el daño de todas las armas cuerpo a cuerpo, pero reduce un 15% el daño a distancia.
• Y la clase Malhechor reduce un 15% el daño de armas cuerpo a cuerpo.

Para una explicación más detallada de los rasgos positivos y negativos, véase Clases.

Obtención

Vasijas Agrietadas

Algunas herramientas pueden obtenerse rompiendo recipientes agrietados, que puede encontrarse en la mayoría de ruinas.

Kit de armas de chatarra

Algunas armas se pueden obtener usando chatarra para fabricar un kit de armas de chatarra, que se puede pulsar con el botón derecho para recibir un arma de chatarra aleatoria.
Estas armas son: La maza de chatarra (20% de probabilidad), el garrote de chatarra (16% de probabilidad), la lanza de chatarra (23% de probabilidad) y la espada larga de chatarra (16% de probabilidad).

Crafteo

Todas las herramientas se pueden obtener mediante las diferentes mecánicas de crafteo del juego. Para la mayoría de las armas, el proceso suele consistir en fabricar una pieza superior mediante Talla Lítica, fundición o herrería y luego combinarla con un palo en la cuadricula de crafteo.

Usage

Range

• Attacking a mob (melee combat): place the weapon in an active hotbar slot and

strike a target.

• Attacking a mob (Spear: ranged combat): place the spear in an active hotbar slot and

hold to cast the weapon at the target.

• Attacking a mob (Bow: ranged combat): place the bow in an active hotbar slot and arrows in the inventory, and

hold to charge the bow. Releasing fires the arrow.

Durability

Different weapons have different amounts of durability, meaning some take more hits before they break than others. A weapon's durability is also affected by its material. The ranking of tool materials, from worst to best in terms of durability, can vary depending on the weapon but usually goes: Stone < Obsidian < Gold < Silver < Copper < Tin Bronze < Bismuth Bronze < Black Bronze < Iron < Meteoric Iron < Steel.

Weapon Types

There are three different categories of weapons:

Type	Image	Material	Description
Ranged Weapons		Stone	The most simple type of weapon in Vintage Story. Place the stone in your active hand and hold to aim. Releasing throws the stone, causing 1 hp of blunt damage.
		Beenade	Just a grenade filled with angry bees. Place the beenade in your active hand and hold to aim. Releasing throws the beenade, causing 0.5 hp of blunt damage and spawning a swarm of angry bees that make 0.25 hp of damage every hit.
		Bow and Arrow	Ranged weapon used for combat when combined with at least one arrow. Place the bow in your active hand and hold to tense it. Releasing fires the arrow.
		Thrown Spear	Both a melee and a ranged weapon. Place the spear in your active hand and hold to aim. Releasing casts the weapon at a target.
Melee Weapons		Clubs	One of the earliest and simplest weapons. Place the weapon in your active hand and press or hold to strike a target.
		Spear	Both a melee and a ranged weapon. Place the weapon in your active hand and press or hold to strike a target.
		Longblade	A sword to fend off your enemies. Place the weapon in your active hand and press or hold to strike a target.
		Falx	Same as the sword. Place the weapon in your active hand and press or hold to strike a target.
Tools as Weapons		Axe Pickaxe Knife Hammer Shovel Shears Cleaver Hoe	While not their primary purpose, some tools are also able to inflict a little bit of damage when swung against enemies, with how much damage they make being directly tied to their tier. Be careful, though, every hit will still count against its durability. Place the tool in your active hand and press or hold to strike a target.
		Ore Blasting Bomb	Particularly effective for blasting ores, but also for blasting dangers away. Place the bomb close to an enemy and light it with a torch or firestarter; don't get caught in the blast!.

Weapon Tiers

The material used to create the weapon determines their tier. In general, higher tier tools have more durability (last longer), and provide more attack power (damage per hit). Higher tier tools will also require advanced material and crafting processes to create.

Type	Material	Weapon	Description
Tier 0	Wood	Club	Some weapons can be made from wood or metal scraps in an emergency or as first combat solutions in the early game. To get a scrap weapon, the player needs to craft a scrap weapon kit, which can be right clicked to receive either a random scrap weapon or scrap tool
	Metal scraps	Club, Mace
Tier 1	Stones	Spear, Arrow	Stone weapons are made by knapping. Only certain types of stone allow for knapping, though, meaning only granite, andesite, basalt, peridotite, obsidian, chert, or flint can be used to make weapons.
Tier 2	Copper	Spear, Longblade, Arrow	Copper weapons can be made by either casting or smithing, offering better durability and attack power. Weapons can also be crafted from the rare base metals gold and silver
	Gold
	Silver
Tier 3	Tin Bronze	Spear, Longblade, Arrow	Bronze alloy weapons can be made by casting or smithing, offering better durability and attack power.
	Bismuth Bronze
	Black Bronze
Tier 4	Iron	Longblade, Arrow	Iron weapons can only be made by smithing. Only the Longblade and Arrowhead are available as iron weapons.
	Meteoric Iron
Tier 5	Steel	Longblade, Arrow	Steel weapons can only be made by smithing. Only the Longblade and Arrowhead are available as steel weapons. Longblades additionally have an extra creative-only Admin material type.

Special Cases

There are two different tiers of bows, of which one can only be crafted by the hunter. Arrowheads can be crafted from different tiers of materials, and are discussed on the bow page in more detail.
