The Green Hell VR Complete Weapon List and How to Craft Them - Meta Quest 2

Green Hell VR takes place in the extremely hostile Jungles of the Amazon. All sorts of deadly enemies lurk within the bushes, trees, and waters of the Green Hell. A lot of those enemies are faster than you, so that means no running from them, just fighting. If you’re going to fight beasts that are way bigger than you are then you’ll need some weapons. So here’s the complete list of all of them, and how to get them.

Spears

Ah, spears, the ultimate survivor’s weapon. It can do a lot of damage while keeping you a safe distance away from whatever you want to do damage to. Great for smashing spiders, scorpions, and rattlesnakes. Used properly a spear can stop a Puma in its tracks… at least for a moment. You may not think much of spears outside of the jungle, but in the jungle it is a hard weapon to beat.

There are a whopping five types of spears in Green Hell VR, and all of them start with a very simple craft. A long stick of wood or bamboo, and a sharp piece of stone. You can get a sharp piece of stone by bashing two rocks together. You can sharpen a length of wood or bamboo by holding the sharp stone and the wood while holding both triggers, and then running the sharp stone over the highlighted area. This goes for anything sharp enough, a machete will also do in a pinch.

Unless you’re really desperate you probably won’t end up using a bamboo spear. It’s a little shorter than other spears, does hardly any damage, and most importantly you can’t put a spear tip on it. While with a wooden spear you can add a spear tip to make it really strong.

Wrapping a rope around the stone you used to carve the spear gives you a spear tip that you can add to the spear by holding it and the spear while holding both triggers. Just mashing the spear tip on to the spear will create a strong stone spear. You can’t go wrong with a stone spear. It is durable and does good damage.

You can do the exact same process with a rope wrapped piece of bone (aka a bone knife, more on that in the knives section) or a piece of obsidian. Obsidian is pretty rare, and so makes the best spears. Really sharp and really durable, go for obsidian if you have some.

The last, longest and strongest type of spear cannot be made by your hands. Instead you can only get it by defeating a Waraha warrior who is wielding it. The local tribespeople have all of the best equipment.

Knives

Ah, knives. You may find them less useful because you need to get in really close in order to use them. This also invites danger to get close to you. Knives may not be extremely useful against a Jaguar or a Caiman, who will use the opportunity to bite you in half before you can get a few good shanks off. Against people they are actually arguably the best weapons if you know how to use them.

A spear require some pause in between blows because you need to pull it back again and put some force into the next stab. With a knife you can easily stab many times quickly. Tribal warriors, unlike large predatory animals, are no more dangerous when they are right in front of you than when they are at a spears length away. So the ability to do more damage more quickly from up close is great against them.

There are four knives in the game. They are essentially the piece that you make before you add them to a wooden spear to make a better spear. A piece of broken bone wrapped with rope, a piece of sharp stone wrapped with rope, or a piece of obsidian wrapped with rope.

Just like with the spears you will need to defeat Waraha tribal warriors in order to get the best knife, the custom obsidian tipped knife of the tribe. This knife is the most durable and does the most damage. Otherwise you can’t go wrong with a bone knife or self made obsidian knife.

Bows and Arrows

Ah, bows. Really the only truly long ranged option in Green Hell VR. They are great if you are too slow or squeamish to do well in an up close battle. Though regardless they are essentially useless against fast enemies like the Puma or Jaguar, who will close the distance to you very quickly. They are also very strong against the Caiman. Three arrows into a Caiman’s skull will kill it as they ponder over toward you. A bow is essential to fight a Caimain, without one you will almost definitely become lunch.

Bows are also the best weapons for hunting. Otherwise with either spear or knife the only reliable way to catch most prey is to corner them. With a bow you simply have to get a good headshot off before your prey notices you and runs away.

There are two types of bows in Green Hell VR. The first is the one you make yourself. Make a wooden spear with no spear tip, and then instead of adding the spear tip, get a rope to act as your bow string. Then hold the spear in one hand and the rope in the other. Then hold down both triggers. You’ll have to wrap the rope around either end of the wooden spear, and boom, you’ve got a bow.

As for the second type of bow, you guessed it, it can only be obtained from tribal warriors. Kill one that has a bow, and they will drop their bow. There’s not too much of a difference between the two bows, but the tribal bow looks more professional and sleek.

Arrows are easier to make, but the ingredients for them are more rare. First you need a small stick, which you can make by hitting a big stick with an axe or rock until it breaks into smaller sticks. The rare thing you need is a bird feather. One bird feather makes one arrow, and they can be hard to come across.

Sometimes you’ll find feathers laying in the forest near bird nests or trees. Otherwise you can find one of the birds out in the wild and kill it, but you’ll have a lot of trouble spearing or stabbing one. If you need more arrows your best bet is probably shooting one of the birds. Hope you’re a good shot. Luckily if you miss arrows are retrievable in Green Hell VR. So just make sure you note where your missed shots land.

To make an arrow just hold the stick in one hand and the feather in the other. Hold down both triggers and mash the feather into the bottom of the stick. Then boom, arrow.

Axes and Machetes

The axe is the most basic tool in Green Hell VR. When you are first thrust into the jungle it is the first thing the game teaches you how to make. Just shove a stone from the ground into a stick, also found on the ground. The axe can be used to chop down trees and do many other things. However as a weapon it is not the finest. Like knives, axes have the drawback of needing you to be very close in order to deal any damage. Unlike knives axes do terrible damage, and don’t give you the ability to strike quickly like a knife.

Axes are best left as a tool instead of a weapon, keep a spear, knife, or bow on hand instead. Though you should know that you can make an axe stronger by wrapping a rope around it. This means you can chop more trees with it before it falls apart.

As for machetes they fall into the same category as axes. Modern tools are great tools that take a long time to fall apart, but still aren’t the best for use as weaponry. You’re better off with a piece of bone wrapped with vines than the best machete fresh off of the assembly line. While an unrusted machete is decent in a fight, there are much better and less rare options available.

Well there you have it, all of the weapons in Green Hell VR. Thanks for reading. Green Hell VR is a fantastic example of a Survival Game in Virtual Reality. I heartily recommend it for survival game or VR buffs. It can be purchased for 29.99$ on the Oculus Store. Green Hell VR will also be coming to Steam for PCVR in the near future. Happy hunting, and good luck in the jungle.
