There is a whole laundry list of weapons in Mordhau, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Everyone likes having a selection of weapons to choose from, but knowing which ones to actually choose can be difficult. If you’re not sure which weapon you should go for in Mordhau, then don’t worry, you’re not alone! Just use any of the weapons from the list below if you want to get your hands on the best weapons in the game!

Best Weapons in Mordhau

There are so many weapons in Mordhau to choose from, it’s hard to know which ones you should go for. Thankfully, all you need to do is get any of the weapons on this list to have one of the very best weapons in the game:

Eveningstar

Any weapon with a name as cool as “eveningstar” has to be good, right? Thankfully, this weapon is just as cool as its name; it’s even widely considered to be one of the best weapons in the entire game!

This weapon can easily turn any player from a zero into a hero! The eveningstar has absolutely ridiculous stamina management, and its damage output is equally as insane. You can easily take someone out in just a couple of hits with this thing, regardless of how heavily armored they are!

Mace

The mace definitely isn’t for players who like fighting their enemies from afar, but if you love versatile weapons that do ridiculously good damage, then you need to look into getting a mace.

Maces are mostly meant to be used in close-range combat, but what they lack in length they make up for in damage output. This weapon can decimate even the most heavily-armored enemies! Also, you wouldn’t think it at the first glance, but this weapon can actually be thrown! Throwing a mace at your foes will not only catch them off guard, but it’ll also will take a good chunk out of their health.

Crossbow

The crossbow is easily one of the best ranged weapons in the game. In fact, it’s the only ranged weapon that actually made it onto this list!

The crossbow allows players to stalk and kill their enemies from afar. It also offers a decent damage output for being a ranged weapon; it does a lot more damage than the longbow! If you prefer to be more of a sneaky assassin than a courageous soldier in these types of games, then the crossbow is the weapon for you!

Halberd

The halberd is considered by most players to be one of the best weapons in Mordhau, if not the best. This weapon is just absolutely bonkers, if you’re not constantly striving to have this weapon in your collection in Mordhau, then you’re not playing the game right.

The halberd has excellent range, is extremely versatile, and has an insane damage output. This weapon is the perfect choice for those who enjoy keeping their distance from enemies, but still like knocking them down with only a couple of hits. This weapon is capable of taking down nearly any threat in Mordhau!

Battle Axe

No best weapons list would be complete without at least one axe, and thankfully, the battle axe in Mordhau made the cut (no pun intended)!

This two-handed weapon has incredible reach, so if you like to keep your enemies at a respectable distance when fighting them, then this weapon is your best bet. Furthermore, the battle axe also deals stupid damage to anything that’s unlucky enough to get caught in its path, so even armored enemies don’t stand a chance!
