Page designed to hash things out. Probably not a separate page, probably belongs in Weapon Guide?
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.- 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.
