S-tier weapons in Mortal Shell 2

• Axatana: This melee weapon is a hybrid dual-sword that can also turn into an axe, allowing you to swap between swift strikes and heavy attacks.
• Veteran’s Battle Axe: Another melee weapon that you’ll get early on and with the +4 update, making it a solid pick for early-game. It’s a two-handed axe that can throw around enemies and is overall fun to use.
• Clockwork Scythe: An actual Scythe that not only looks great, but also deals sweeping AoE damage and is quite effective against groups of enemies.
• Triarch Repeater: This sidearm is a minigun with 100 bullets that won’t exactly deal a lot of damage, but with Tarstone like Emberseed or Corroded, it can deal good DoT.
• Troubadour’s Lute: Whip out your inner bard with this sidearm and apply the Confusion debuff on enemies and, for a duration, make them fight each other.
• Bastillazoka: As the name suggests, it’s a bazooka that shoots high-power shots and will show enemies that you mean business.

A-tier weapons in Mortal Shell 2

• Axe and Dagger: The second 2-handed melee that you’ll get before Axatana. It’s fast-striking and can be used with Duality Stone to double your damage.
• Black Needle: This melee weapon is a spear that allows you to keep a little more distance while delivering high-speed strikes.
• Cursed Child: Shoots screaming sound waves that can push back and stagger enemies at close range. However, it’s not a good pick if you want to shoot at a distance.
• Caged Hystrix: This sidearm shoots a barrage of projectiles that can be used to build up stagger with proper Tarstones.
• Forgotten Crossbow: Possibly your first sidearm upgrade, the Forgotten Crossbow shoots relatively fast and deals a decent amount of damage. Talk to Merrick at the Marrow Keep to get its location for free.

B-tier weapons in Mortal Shell 2

• The Iconoclast: You get this weapon along with Haross’ Shell, and while it’s a good starter, there are much better options once you get past the Marrow Keep.
• Great Martyr’s Blade: This longsword deals good damage at the cost of attack speed. A good way to use it is with Vatra’s Seal, hardening yourself right before an enemy strike to keep fighting.
• Obsidian Hammer: This melee weapon features a large chunk of Obsidian on one side that can knock back enemies with hits. However, it’s not as effective against groups of fast-attacking enemies.
• Salvaged Trebuchaxe: Deals serious damage but takes time to shoot projectiles. However, it’s a good addition if you want to deal a large amount of damage from a distance.
• Naylshotte: Another default weapon you get alongside Harros. Like the Iconoclast, it’s good early on, but the Forgotten Crossbow is a major upgrade over it.

Needless to say, it’ll be a lot better if you get and try out every weapon yourself to find which one suits you best. Maybe you’ll love hitting enemies with a large rock on the Obsidian Hammer.
