All Weapons in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad - Complete Weapon List
Wondering what weapons there are in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad? Well don’t worry, the complete list of all weapons in Blade and Sorcery is right here! This applies for the PC and Quest versions, so whether you use standalone or PCVR all of the weapons are right here. Currently this list only applies to the Quest version of the game, but will be updated to reflect the weapons added in the 1.0 Update in the future.
Oh, and there are even a few secret weapons you can find as well.
Table of Contents:
Daggers
Daggers are all little guys, basically just knives or really small swords. If you want to get in close to your enemy and do some quick stabbing, then they’re a great way to Julius Caesar someone.
Common Dagger
Ah, the Common Dagger. Definitely the best dagger option out there (outside of a spicier option in the Exotics section here). If you just want a little blade to do some quick stabs with, or show off with some sweet tricks then this is the greatest option out there. Throw it around, flip it over your hand, whatever you want to do, the Common Dagger is good for it.
Skinning Knife
The Skinning Knife is the Common Daggers less stylish and poor cousin. Sure it can technically do everything the Common Dagger can, but just look at it. Its smaller, which can be a plus, but it’s all rusty and the handle is starting to split. Still if you want to cosplay a crazy person living in the woods this is a fine choice for the aesthetic.
Swords
If you want to do some Medieval style fighting then swords are such a great option. You might picture yourself as a knight valiantly slaying your foes. Put on some Plate Armor too, go crazy. Swords pair really well with Shields, and are overall great at slicing and stabbing all in one package, though the smaller varieties of sword aren’t great at cutting through armor. Still, some of the bigger two handed ones can basically beat an enemy to death in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad.
Antique Great Sword
Want a two handed sword that feels like it’s been sitting on an old mans mantlepiece for a decade? Well the Antique Great Sword definitely gives you that feeling. Its got a really cool crossguard that’s curved outwards, great for catching incoming blows, and is pretty long and heavy, though not the heaviest or longest around. The blade looks rusty and chipped for that “hardly been used in a while” look that you might crave.
Claymore
The Claymore is a classic Scottish weapon used by the Highlanders for generations, and even in times when muskets were the main weapon of choice. In Blade and Sorcery: Nomad this weapon is a great combination of cutting and slashing. Good luck stabbing someone with this thing, but it has a ton of weight to it. Once you get the hang of the Claymore it’s really satisfying to swing around in a wide arc and chop foes in half with. It’s also got a huge and ornate crossguard for defense and style.
Greatsword
The Greatsword is a bit shorter than other two handed swords in Blade & Sorcery, but it is also super heavy. It’s got a pretty bland and straight crossguard, but a really sweet and heavy pommel that can be used in a pinch to smash a scallywag in the face. The biggest upside is not only the huge handle, but also that you can hold it by that piece of leather you can see just above the crossguard, meaning that you can use this two handed beast at closer ranges than others.
Longsword
When you think of a sword from medieval times, you’re probably thinking of the Longsword. It can be held easily it one hand, but for a little more oomph you can use both hands to swing it hard. The blade isn’t as long as that on your typical two handed sword, but its smaller and better for chopping and stabbing. If you want a versatile sword with some heft to it then the Longsword is the perfect balance of all Blade & Sorcery: Nomad sword qualities.
War Sword
The War Sword is the Longsword’s edgier brother. It’s got all the same middle of the road qualities, but has a bit of a cooler and sleeker look with an outwardly curved crossguard. It’s better for stabbing too, and seems a little lighter. If you want a darker and more radical looking Longsword then try out the War Sword.
Reverend Sword
The Reverend Sword can be used with two hands, if you like, and is decent at chopping and not much else. Still it’s got a cool look with its wooden handle, and the lack of a crossguard might fit what look you want to go for in your Blade & Sorcery weapon. Still it’s a solid sword for chaining some sweet slashing attacks that have the weight needed to stun an enemy with force alone.
Antique Sword
The Antique Sword is basically a smaller Reverend Sword. You can’t fit both of your hands on the handle, but it’s much quicker and great for stabbing as well.
Short Sword
The short sword is a great quick stabbing sword. What it lacks in reach it makes up for in being light and able to cut and stab quickly. It’s like a hybrid between the Daggers and swords in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad.
Riding Sword
The Riding Sword has a pretty cool look and a very fancy crossguard, it’s very pointy too. A little smaller than a longsword, a little bigger than a shortsword. It’s definitely got that menacing evil knight feel to it.
Axes
Axes are awesome. They’re the ultimate combination of a blade and bashing capability. They can lob an enemy’s head off and also beat them into submission.
Bardiche
The Bardiche is a sweet two handed weapon in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad. It has a huge blade so it’s not as easy to miss your target as with other two handed axes, though it has more weight to it and is slow to swing around. It’s not as cool as a halberd would be, but as far as European polearms from medieval times, it’s a solid substitude.
Northern Axe
If you want to cosplay an angry viking with a two handed axe then here’s your chance. While it can be easy to miss an enemy and hit them with the haft of this axe if they get to close, you can always just jab them with the top of it to get some distance. The blade might not be as big as the Bardiche’s, but the Northern Axe can still generate a lot of power.
Old Lumber Axe
Want all the two handed axe fun of a northern axe but with the beaten up look of an old farm implement? Then try out the Old Lumber Axe. It’s got the rusted blade and dirty handle look that a lot of Blade & Sorcery weapons love to lean into, and is great for chopping wood and skulls.
Axe
Intended for use with one hand, the axe is just what it says on the label, a pretty basic axe. The axiest of the axes. Hold one of these in each hand and have fun wailing around like a Viking Berserker. You might not notice if you’re actually cutting your opponent or beating them down, but either way it’s a ton of fun.
Hatchet
The Hatchet is basically a baby axe, and doesn’t have a whole lot of weight to it. Still the hatchet is great for throwing and is the easiest to throw out of all the axes because of its lightness and small size. The hatchet is also great if you want to challenge yourself with a tiny weapon. Overall it’s very weak to actually swing, but look at how cute and tiny it is.
War Axe
The war axe isn’t necessarily a two handed weapon, but it can be. A bigger and fancier version of the regular axe, the war axe adds an extra level of fun with the spike on the back. So you can reverse it and try using that side for a little stabbing action. Overall a great combination of weight and speed.
Spears
Want to poke your enemy and not let them get too close in the process? Then spears are the weapons for you. Historically the best and cheapest weapon to arm a mob of peasants with, you can now prove that spears are for great warrior sorcerers too.
Boar Spear
Currently the longest and pokiest spear available without mods, the Boar Spear is very sharp on the tip, and is even heavy enough to give someone a decent whack with the handle if you put enough strength into it. It even has two little knobs near the top so that a shiskebabed opponent doesn’t slide up the haft of it.
Javelin
Want to be a Spartan? Maybe a Roman Legionnaire? Well the Javelin is your classic throwing weapon made famous during the Ancient Ages of antiquity. It throws incredibly well, and can also serve as a great short stabbing weapon that is very light and can be pulled back for another stab quickly.
Blunt
Ah Blunt weapons, the simplest of all. Get a stick, put a heavy thing on one end of it, and swing it with all your might to literally crush the enemy. Especially great against armored opponents, and a great way to let off some steam on some Blade and Sorcery enemies after you’ve had a bad day. These weapons generate enough power to send an enemy literally flying if you hit them right.
Mallet
The mallet is made entirely of wood and is basically a huge Looney Tune weapon. While there might not be a way to mod Tom and Jerry into Blade and Sorcery: Nomad just yet, you can get some very satisfying bonking in with this piece of wood on a stick.
Maul
The Maul is the Mallet but bigger, more metallic, and heavier. Think a sledgehammer that’s meant for people instead of concrete. If you really want to bash something with a piece of heavy metal on a stick then the Maul delivers in a way that the Mallet can’t compare to. Since the top of it is kind of small it can be easy to accidentally hit an enemy with the haft of the Maul instead of the business end, but it’s still a ton of fun. You’ll be swinging it slowly though, because it’s heavy.
Flanged Warmace
The Flanged Warmace is the two handed flanged mace, and while it’s super heavy and slow to swing it generates a ton of power, and even cuts and pierces enemies if it hits flesh. That’s because the “flanged” parts of this weapon on the head of it are sharp and can cut, though the main damage from this mace comes from the force generated by swinging it and crushing.
Blacksmith Hammer
The Blacksmith Hammer is tiny, and doesn’t generate a ton of force on impact compared to bigger maces, but it’s also got that rusted tool aesthetic that Blade and Sorcery loves. It’s hilarious to throw at something, but not very effective, and can be swung incredibly quickly for a blunt weapon.
Trench Mace
The Trench Mace has got some knobs at the top, but it’s really more of a piece of metal on a stick. It’s really effective for quick bashing strikes though, and two handing these is very fun because you can whirlwind attack with both really quickly. For such a small weapon it’s very easy to knock an opponent off their feet with it.
Flanged Mace
The Flanged Mace is the little brother of the Flanged Warmace, that can be lifted and swung with one hand. It’s got the metal for bashing and the flanges for cutting. While it’s a bit slower than other one handed maces it hits the hardest out of all of them and is super satisfying to use. Not even shields are protection from this thing.
Rock
The Rock is possibly the oldest weapon known to humans, and is just as effective as when tool use was first invented. It can also be thrown, but don’t expect to do more than stun an opponent doing that. If you really want to get in touch with your primitive hunter gatherer side you can also beat an opponent down with it.
Exotics
Exotics are an odd collection of weapons that kind of fit in other categories, but the good people over at Warpfrog decided to put in it’s own category. A lot aren’t necessarily from the European medieval period in history like the others here, but they’re all very cool.
Dual Bladed Staff
Ah the Dual Bladed staff, the best way to act like Darth Maul in Blade & Sorcery. It’s a sweet weapon, with both ends being great for slashing and stabbing. It’s also light and easy to twirl around. Just like the Javelin it can even be thrown, and throws pretty well. This is an artist’s weapon.
Rapier
The Rapier is the ultimate stabbing weapon in Blade & Sorcery. It can block incoming attacks and weave in and out of your opponent’s guard to deliver a quick poke. It goes really well when combined with lightning, because then you can easily electrocute your opponent with the tip and then stab them for the kill. If you want to feel like a dueling aristocrat then there’s nothing better than a rapier.
Wrist Blade
If you’re an Assassin’s Creed fan then you’ll love the wrist blade. It’s basically like lethally punching an enemy, and it fits so snugly in your hand. Something truly unique and fun, it will enhance your fists of fury to be truly deadly.
Bow
The bow is a bow, it shoots arrows. What’s a VR combat game without a bow? They’re practically required by this point and Blade & Sorcery: Nomad is no exception. You’ll need a quiver in one of your body slots to draw arrows from, and each quiver holds 50. The arrows are solid and so is the bow. It can even block some attacks if you manage to get it between a blade and your face. Arrow physics is very good in Blade & Sorcery, so if you want to be an archer that’s totally viable.
Staves
Staves don’t seem like much other than a really fancy bonking stick. Well they’re really more like Gandalf’s staff, because when you imbue them with magic you can use that magic with the staves. Imbued with fire it can shoot fireballs! Also if you hit an enemy with either end of the staff it will reproduce the effect. You can even do the old “You shall not pass” trick by applying gravity magic to your staff and slamming the bottom end of it into the ground.
Druidic Staff
The Druidic staff is the most basic staff, and you’ll find sorcerer enemies using it. It looks pretty cool, very Lord of the Rings. As far as staves go there’s really not much of a difference between them.
Shaman Staff
The Shaman staff shows as tier 2… but it’s really no better or worse than the Druidic staff. It does look a lot simpler though, so if you want that home grown Hedge Wizard that just picked up a stick and started doing magic with it look, here you go.
Shields
Shields are great. You can use them to defend yourself, so maybe they’re not technically weapons, but they’re also awesome at bashing an opponent (it really helps if you put your shoulder into it) and putting them off guard so you can strike with your weapon in another hand. If you’re really wild you can always have a shield in both hands and really flail around with them like they’re blunt weapons.
Buckler
There’s a hilariously tiny weapon in each of these categories, and even though shields aren’t technically weapons, they’re no different. The Buckler is small, even cute, and made entirely of metal. If you’re really skilled though, you can easily block blows with this small shield, because it’s extremely easy to move around quickly. Your character will hold it so that it comes right out of their fist, and so you can basically just punch with this shield in hand for some extra power. Bucklers are a lot more fun and versatile than they seem.
Kite Shield
Playing it safe? Want a big shield to stay between you and your opponent? Well then the Kite Shield is for you. It’s a long kind of diamond shape that you can lift up to protect your whole head and upper body, but also has a long tapered bottom that you can use to block blows to your lower body and feet. This is the ultimate medieval knight shield in Blade and Sorcery: Nomad.
Round Shield
The round shield isn’t as little as the buckler, but isn’t as heavy and unwieldly as the Kite Shield. It’s a perfect balance between the two, and has kind of a viking look to it. Combines very well with the axe.
Torch
Finally we have the Torch. It’s under the “Utility” category, and sure is basically a utility item, but once you light it up it’s actually great for trolling an enemy by hitting them with the hot end.
There are all of the weapons in Blade & Sorcery: Nomad. If you’ve got more weapons you’d like to see the developers add, leave a comment about it. If you have any weapon mods you’d like to recommend, or mods in general for Blade & Sorcery, feel free to mention that too.
