Revision 4

Overview

The Bekker Axe is a one-handed weapon in Crimson Desert named after the frugal warrior Bekker. With an Attack Power of 14 and a Critical Rate bonus at Level 1, it is a mid-tier axe that balances respectable damage with an improved chance to land critical hits. The Bekker Axe is one of the earliest axes players can find in the open world, making it a popular early-game pickup.

As a one-handed axe, the Bekker Axe can be wielded alongside a shield or a second one-handed weapon. Axes in Crimson Desert tend to have slightly wider swing arcs than swords, which can hit multiple enemies at close range. The Critical Rate bonus adds a nice damage spike on top of the already-solid base stats.

Stats

How to Obtain

The Bekker Axe can be found next to tree stumps around Three Saints' Falls. One can also be found on the way to Sebastian's house in Hernand during the Unknown Space main quest in the Prologue chapter. These early-game locations make the Bekker Axe one of the first weapon upgrades available to players who explore off the beaten path.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Bekker Axe supports up to 10 refinement levels at a Blacksmith. Each refinement level increases the base Attack Power while preserving the Critical Rate bonus. The 3 Abyss Core slots allow further customization through a Witch vendor. Stacking additional Critical Rate or Critical Damage cores takes advantage of the weapon's innate crit bonus.

Combat Tips

The Bekker Axe is a strong pick for dual-wield fans. Found in the Underbridge area right after the Prologue, the axe unlocks a completely different combat stance with fast cleave attacks when paired with another one-handed weapon. The Critical Rate Level 1 bonus means a noticeable portion of swings will deal extra damage, which adds up quickly during extended combo chains. Players who prefer a more defensive approach can pair the Bekker Axe with a shield and use its solid 14 Attack Power for calculated counter-strikes after a successful parry.
