Crimson Desert: All Weapons & Weapon Types, Explained

There are three or four weapon types in Crimson Desert, depending on how you count shields. But since they have attack stat, they can be considered weapons, since they deal damage to enemies, albeit a small one. Generally, these include one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, and ranged weapons.

You can equip and swap between multiple weapons, including primary and secondary ones, to adapt to different situations like crowds, bosses, or ranged threats. This guide will explain all these types of weapons in Crimson Desert, including full lists of all available weapons in the game.

One-Handed Weapons

One-handed weapons offer fast, agile combat with swords, rapiers, axes, maces, and daggers. You can use them for some quick combos, precise strikes, and high mobility, which makes them better for dodging and chaining attacks. On top of that, you can dual-wield two one-handed weapons for higher DPS or pair one with a shield for balanced offense and defense. Here’s a list of all one-handed weapons in the game:

Balton Mace

Two-Handed Weapons

Two-handed weapons have more power and devastating area damage, when wielding greatswords, spears, halberds, lances, axes, and hammers. Use them for crushing swings that break enemy guards and clear entire groups. Note that greatswords provide wider arcs and higher stagger, while spears offer better reach.

Falconne Pistol
Grey Wolf Bow
Pailunese Musket

Shields

Shields mostly serve as defensive tools in Crimson Desert, especially when paired with one-handed weapons. They provide strong blocking, perfect parries, and powerful counterattacks that can stagger or even damage enemies. Note that some unique shields offer bonus effects like stamina reduction on blocks or extra defense. Here are all the shields available in the game:
