Godfall Weapon Classes

Everything you need to know about the weapons you use in Godfall’ combat

Combat

In Godfall you can master and they are divided into 5 weapon classes. Each weapon type has its own unique playstyle. Because Godfall is a ‘Looter-Slasher’ you will be able to obtain a wide range of weapons within each classification.

Because there are over 120 unique weapons in Godfall and they all have some lore associated with them. In Godfall, the weapons determine your character’s move set, not the Valorplates.

Counterplay Games want you to master the weapons and not restrict you by bringing in variations based on the armor set you are wearing.

The combat in Godfall is mostly about ‘many vs 1’ and focuses on close combat melee. That said, there are ‘1 on 1’ encounters and you are able to perform long-range attacks. However, these long-range attacks do have eighter a cooldown or a charged-up mechanic in order to perform them.

So you can perform a ‘spin attack’ with your dual blades that have an extended range because they are attached to chains. And you can also throw your sword or spear at enemies from a distance.

Weapon Requirements

Weapons will have an ‘item level’, therefore, you will need to level up your character to the required level in order to wield it. But it also works the other way around. Throughout the game, you are able to collect crafting materials.

You can use these to enhance your weapons and increase their stats. So that it’s on par with the enemy’s level and your weapon is still effective. It’s possible to keep your LVL1 Pole Arm throughout the whole game and keep increasing its capabilities. However, there are various rarity tiers in Godfall, like Epic and Legendary, that provide better quality loot.
