The best weapons in Avowed and how to get them

Firing an arquebus at a giant spider in Avowed.

Choosing which weapons to use in Avowed is great fun. Almost all one-handed weapons can be equipped in either hand, in any combination, and your character has two loadouts that you can switch between at will—that really gives you a lot of freedom. Want to wield a shield and pistol in one slot and a wand and dagger in the other? You can! The tricky part is figuring out which are the best weapons to use, especially once you start finding unique gear which come with special perks.

After over 40 hours exploring the Living Lands, during which I did a lot of switching around, I've found a few favourites which I dedicated my upgrade materials to. And if you want some idea of the best ways to combine these weapons with abilities and attributes, check out our guide to the best builds in Avowed.
