11 Windrose ships with 38 named weapons spread across nine weapon classes and four rarity tiers. This overview lists every weapon in the current live item index, groups them by class and damage type, and links out to each individual weapon page. Tier labels reflect the current community consensus based on playtesting during early access.

33 Weapon Classes

55 Windrose weapons split cleanly into seven melee classes plus two unarmed fists, and three ranged firearm classes. Each class has its own moveset, stamina curve, and preferred scaling attribute.

88 Damage Types
99  
1010 Every hit deals one of three damage types. Damage type matters for armor matchups: crude blunt damage cuts through heavy plate, slash shreds unarmored targets, and pierce is the go-to for rapiers and all firearms.

1313 Scaling Attributes
1414  
1515 Every weapon scales with one of three combat attributes. The scaling grade (D, C, B, A, S) multiplies that attribute's contribution to the weapon's final damage. Epic variants of the "Reliable" and "Sturdy" weapon families push their scaling grade up to S, which is the single biggest damage jump in the game.

1818 Rarity Coverage
1919  
2020 Rarity controls a weapon's base ATK and which effect line appears on the item card. Most named weapons have both a Rare and Epic variant; the Epic variant keeps the base effect and stacks an additional upgrade on top.

2323 Tier List
2424  
2525 The tier column in the roster below reflects the current community consensus. S-tier weapons (Razor, Rapier of a Thousand Cuts, Dragon's Breath, Reliable Pistol) clear content fastest thanks to either stacking debuffs or effective scaling grades at Epic. A-tier is comfortably strong; B and C-tier are still clearable but need more setup or compensate with easier access.

4747 Most Rare variants drop from outlaw camps, story chests, and named bosses, while Epic variants are produced by running Ascension at the Upgrading Station with Tumbaga Ingots. A few weapons, like Buccaneer's Friend and the Plague family, are tied to Blackbeard Treasure Maps and plague-themed questlines rather than standard loot tables.

6161 Opening pick recommendations: players leaning into Strength or Mastery should start with the Club because it avoids the Rough Hide cost entirely and pairs naturally with Crusher talents. Players planning an Agility build (saber + two-handed sword) should prioritize the Saber first, then the Two-Handed Sword once the Weaponsmith Workshop is upgraded to level 2. Precision builds default to the Rapier for melee and the Pistol for ranged, but the Pistol costs gunpowder per shot, which stays scarce in the early game. Keeping a melee primary and a ranged secondary from this starter pool is the typical loadout shape that carries into the Foothills tier.
