The Flint Knife stays at C-tier since it is not realiable to use as a weapon because it has low damage. It is better to save this weapons durability for cutting trees rather than fighting enemies. Stone Axes do not deal a lot of damage and are mainly used at tools. It is recommended to use this for cutting trees rather than using it as a main weapon for fighting enemies. This weapon is in the B-tier since this axe has the same damage as the Flint spear but doesn't have the same usefulness for combat. Having one very early on can greatly help you in dealing with enemies safely. Since there are only a few ranged weapons in the game. The Crude Bow is the first bow that you are able to craft in the game. This spear is very easy to make and you can kill deers in one hit when throwing this at them. The Flint Sear is the first spear you are able to craft in the game. Once you are able to get Core Woodand craft this, this weapon can greatly help you in dealing with multiple enemies. The Stagbreaker is one of the only two two-handed clubs in the game. This bow has a decent amount of durability and damage to last you until you are able to craft the Draugr Fang. It make take some time for you to craft the Finewood Bow, but it will be worth it once you are able to craft this. Fire damage is very strong against most of the enemies you encounter early in the game. The torch is not only a source of light, but is also a very strong weapon early in the game because of the fire damage it causes.
This tier list is for weapons available during the early stages of the game, notably after before defeating the Eikthyr or the Elder. While not advisable for direct combat, the Blackmetal Knife shines when players manage to sneak, which is unfortunately very rare. The strongest hammer in the game finds use as an AoE weapon, but because it caps at iron, it stays at a B-list spot. While not as strong as the Blackmetal Axe, the bonus parry force offered by the Battleaxe makes it deserve a spot on this list, albeit it has a higher barrier of entry for its benefit since players have to be proficient in parrying. This weapon nabs a spot in the B-listers because it a strong mace that offers both blunt and pierce damage, the only mace to do so.

The Silver Sword, while not as versatile as the Frostner, is also a good weapon choice as it deals a decent amount of slash damage plus spirit damage. Additionally, having AoE capability of its secondary attack doesn't its ranking. The Blackmetal Atgeir makes it as a good weapon because of its massive damage and its reach. In a game about vikings that sail the seas often, the best weapon to hunt the main water-dwelling predator with undoubtedly deserves a high spot in any tier list. While it's not the strongest, the Abyssal Harpoon takes the A rank because of its usefulness in hunting sea serpents. The Blackmetal Axe ties with the sword for damage, and though it doesn't attack as fast, the damage alone makes this a formidable weapon. The Frostner is one of the best weapons in the game as it deals Frost, Blunt and Spirit, making it a hodgepodge of effects that are useful versus any foe, especially skeletons.
In addition to that, the poison damage it deals no matter what the arrow used is just the cherry on top that makes it all the more better. The Draugr Fang is the strongest bow, making it an indispensible tool to have in your arsenal. The Blackmetal Sword deals the highest DPS in the game, so it definitely deserves a spot on the S Tier.
