"Valheim" players who intend to thrive in every biome, beat every boss, and be the best Viking need to possess the best weapon in the game. In this guide, players could learn the best starting weapons they could have in the game and obtain them.

Best Sword: Silver

There are no unique swords in "Valheim" as of this writing, but one of the best is the silver sword. It has a high slashing damage stat and inflicts extra spirit damage to enemies. The silver sword is also cheap to craft. Players only need 40 silver, three leather scraps, two wood, and five iron.

Best Mace: The Porcupine

The porcupine is a huge ball of spikes on a stick that deals piercing and blunt damage to enemies. This mace is also unbelievably fast and easy to swing for its size. To obtain the porcupine, players need to collect 20 iron, five fine wood, five needles, and ten linen thread.

Best Bow: Draugr Fang

The Draugr Fang is the strongest bow in the game that offers massive piercing damage and a unique effect that melee-centered players should consider. Regardless of the kind of arrow players equip with the Draugr Fang, it would still deal poison damage to enemies. In other words, players do not need to craft special arrows for this particular bow. Getting the best bow in the game is expensive, however. Players need ten silver, ten guck, ten ancient bark and two deer hide.

Best Utility Weapon: Abyssal Harpoon

The Abyssal Harpoon is the only harpoon available in "Valheim." Unlike other weapons, it has a more specific use, that is, to kill a sea serpent. To craft the Abyssal Harpoon, players need eight fine wood, three leather scraps and 30 Chitin.

Best Sledgehammer: Iron Sledge

The Iron Sledge is more of the upgraded version of the Stagbreaker, and by far, the strongest Sledgehammer in "Valheim." It deals massive AoE damage and delivers the highest knockback any weapon could provide. While some players find it slow, it is a mighty weapon. To craft the iron sledge, players need ten ancient bark, four Ymir flesh, one Draugr Elite Trophy and 30 iron. It also requires station level 2.

Best Club: Frostner

Frostner is considered one of the best weapons in "Valheim" and uses the Club skill to wield. While it has no secondary attack, it dealt a huge amount of spirit and frost damage to enemies with each swing. To craft the frostner, players need ten ancient bark, five Ymir Flesh, five Freeze Gland and 30 silver with station level 3.
