Crimson Desert weapon guide

Crimson Desert weapon guide: all types and stats

Crimson Desert has 8 weapon types across melee and ranged categories, each with distinct stats and upgrade paths to match your playstyle.

One-handed weapons

  • Swords offer fast attacks and solid defense when paired with a shield, making them reliable in most fights.
  • Axes deliver slower but heavier hits than swords.
  • Daggers are primarily used for stealth assassinations, allowing you to quickly take down enemies while remaining unseen.

Shields

Shields are often paired with one-handed weapons and can be used to block or parry attacks, allowing you to chain into melee combos.

Two-handed weapons

  • Spears give you extended reach, letting you attack enemies from a safer distance.
  • Greatswords combine strong damage with wide swings that knock enemies back, but their slower speed requires careful timing.
  • Greataxes deal massive damage with wide swings that hit multiple enemies at once and include devastating grounded and jumping AoE attacks.

Ranged weapons

  • Bows let you attack enemies from a safe distance with arrows.
  • Pistols keep you nimble, letting you dodge between shots unlike the stationary charged shots of rifles.
  • Rifles deliver precise, high-damage shots at long range with both regular and charged fire.
  • Hand Cannons fire powerful charged shots that deal heavy damage.

Upgrading your weapons

Visit a Blacksmith to refine weapons and raise their base stats. Regular weapons accept gathered materials or duplicate weapons as refinement fuel, while unique weapons require specific materials.

Beyond base stats, you can slot in Abyss Gear (special items that grant powerful modifiers) to your weapon. Equipping or changing your Abyss Gear loadout requires Elowen the Witch, an NPC you’ll meet as you progress through the main story.

Getting weapons

Three ways to acquire weapons in Crimson Desert:

  • Buy or loot: most weapons can be purchased from Equipment Shops or found by defeating enemies, opening chests, and exploring the open world.
  • Quest and boss rewards: unique weapons with powerful built-in abilities come from completing quests or defeating bosses. These cannot be refined using duplicates.
  • Crafting: Blacksmiths can forge weapons from gathered materials, but you must learn the required recipe books first to unlock each weapon for crafting.
