# Weapons

### Overview

Weapons are a major part of combat progression.

They cover melee, ranged, magic, defensive, and skill-based playstyles.

Some weapons are simple damage upgrades.

Others add abilities, elemental effects, skill requirements, faction damage, or unique combat styles.

{% hint style="info" %}
The best weapon depends on where you fight.

A farming or aquatic weapon can beat a general combat weapon in its own content.

### Notes

Some weapons are broad combat upgrades.

Others are strongest inside one skill path, biome, or enemy theme.

Aquatic weapons usually perform best in fishing and ocean content.

Nature weapons fit forest and foraging content.

Mutation weapons are strongest for [Mutation's](/orange-smp-wiki/areas/farmlands/mutations.md) and Farmlands progression.
