What is an action-adventure RPG without weapons? Arguably still a good time but weapons make the experience all the more exhilarating and fun. Code Vein, naturally, understands this and has given players access to a plethora of weapons (if they can locate them).
All the weapons available in this game – which are divided into 5 categories – can be upgraded to enhance their individual capabilities (upgrading your weapon affects your character’s level, and is also affected by the level of your Blood Veils).
Code Vein Weapons Locations
Weapons can also be used to block, have certain limitations and require certain stats to be met to be wielded, elemental capabilities, and have a Blood Code. The 5 weapon categories are as follow:
- One-Handed Swords: Short ranged but quick and versatile in use. Do moderate amounts of damage.
- Two-Handed Swords: Larger in size but have greater reach and do far more damage. However, they’re not as quick, taking a long time to wind up.
- Spears, Halberds, and Polearms: Are very long weapons that allow you to do sweeping attacks that cover the entire area immediately around you.
- Two-Handed Hammers: Slow to use but have moderate reach (greater than one-handed swords) and cause heavy blunt damage.
- Bayonet Rifles: Can attack from a distance and can be used as a melee weapon.
Each category has several weapons within them, and this guide will go through each weapon and detailing their various attributes.
The physical damage of any weapon is its base damage plus scaling damage. Scaling damage is correspondent to your character level.
