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 (Error: Page does not exist) Maces are special for being Blunt weapons. Blunt damage mostly ignores armor, and has a few other special mechanics.
- Warhammers
are also Blunt weapons. The warhammer swings slowly
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.
