Craftable
There are 4 "viable" melee weapons that you can craft in RimWorld. In order of highest raw DPS to lowest:
Longswords are the best (craftable) weapon against unarmored and lightly armored targets.
Spears are somewhat worse than longswords, but have a much higher AP.
Maces are special for being Blunt weapons. Most enemies have very little blunt armor, and Blunt damage has a few other special mechanics. The mace is also the cheapest of the 4 weapons.- Warhammers
are also Blunt weapons. The warhammer swings slowly, but with a big swing, so very high quality warhammers can one-shot human targets.
But ranking weapons isn't as simple as ranking DPS. There are a lot of complex mechanics, even beyond armor, that make determining the "best" weapon difficult.
Longsword
Notable mechanics
- Cut damage has a chance to "cleave". When a Cut damage hits an enemy, there is a chance to cleave an enemy. This increases total damage by 140%, then spreads it throughout body parts.
Spear
Notable mechanics
Mace
- DPS: 9.56 (uranium, normal)
Notable mechanics
Warhammer
