Weapons

Weapons are a Tool used by Gnomes to defend themselves. Alongside Armor, they are used to keep your Gnomes alive and take care of the various Monsters that would attack your home.

Different weapons have different attacks and/or defensive moves as well as different damage types. Piercing, slashing and blunt damages are better suited against certain materials over others. Slashing can sever limbs, piercing has a higher chance to cause bleeding and blunt based weapons have a chance to knock enemies back (and hopefully off cliffs).

In the Uniform tab of the Military window, you can specify what weapon you want in each hand. Some weapons are two-handed, so they will take up both hands. Tools also use up a hand when being carried, which prevents you from dual wielding or using two-handed weapons while doing so.

Weapons have an attack type which determines how much damage it will do to an enemy. The material a weapon is made out of, the Quality of the weapon, the armor or natural resistance of the enemy, and the Stats of your Gnome all affect the damage of an attack. For more information, see Fighting.
