What Are The Best Weapons in Green Hell?

Surviving in the unforgiving depths of the Amazon rainforest demands resourcefulness and skill, especially when it comes to arming oneself against the various dangers lurking in the Green Hell. From fending off aggressive wildlife to defending against hostile tribesmen, having the right weapons can mean the difference between life and death. In this guide, we'll explore the top 10 best weapons to wield throughout your journey in Green Hell, spanning from the early stages of survival to the later stages of the game.

Stone Blade

From the start of the game, survival depends upon the mastery of primitive tools. In the early stages of this adventure, resources are scarce, and crafting basic tools is essential. Among the foundational tools stands the stone blade, a humble yet essential asset. Upon encountering a big stone, it is advised to harvest it and then craft this blade by combining two stones together. While rudimentary, it's surprisingly efficient for hunting small prey and gathering resources.

Its repeated construction from common materials facilitates the accumulation of experience points, aiding in the crafting of sturdier, more sophisticated weapons as rarer materials become available.

With carry weight limitations in mind, the stone blade's lightweight design becomes a great advantage. It stands as the second lightest knife in the game, surpassed only by the late-game metal blade, yet its effectiveness rivals that of its counterparts, excluding  the bone blade, which we'll explore further in this article.

While lacking in extended combat capabilities due to its short reach, the stone blade can be used for throwing, though it lacks the potency to inflict lethal damage. However, beyond combat, its value shines through in various survival tasks, from constructing shelter to resource gathering and crafting other, more advanced weapons. Versatile and essential, the stone blade emerges as an amazing companion in the relentless pursuit of survival in the depths of the Amazon rainforest.

Stone Axe

Among the essential tools available from the start of the game is the trusty stone axe—a simple weapon that proves its worth time and time again throughout your journey.

Crafting the Stone Axe is a straightforward process, requiring just a stick and a rock. With these basic materials, you create a versatile tool that will serve you well in various tasks from the very beginning. Weighing in at a manageable 1.5 kg, the stone axe strikes a balance between portability and durability, making it an ideal companion for survival.

Initially, the stone axe's durability may seem modest, but as you progress and improve your axe skills, its durability becomes apparent. Achieving 100% axe skill unlocks the axe's full potential, allowing it to endure approximately 120 strikes against a tree trunk.

When it comes to felling trees, the Stone Axe proves its efficiency, requiring  five strikes to bring down even the largest of trees. Additionally, in confrontations with hostile tribesmen, the stone axe remains a formidable weapon, requiring only three headshots to dispatch an opponent.

While the stone axe may not be the strongest or deadliest weapon in the game, its simplicity, lightweight design, and ease of production make it a preferred choice for many survivors. Throughout your journey, this weapon will remain a steadfast companion.

Stone Spear

As you progress and gather more resources, it is advised to upgrade to the stone spear. Crafted by combining a long stick and a rope with a rock blade, this weapon provides increased range and damage than that of a stone blade, making it a remarkably effective early game weapon for both hunting and self-defense.

The biggest difference between spears in this game is the reach. Compared to other spears available in the beginning stages ( weak spear, obsidian spear and ), stone spear has the furthest reach, which makes it a valuable option. When used as a hunting tool, the Stone Spear makes impaling fish, Red Crabs, Cane Toads and other wildlife significantly easier due to the longer range compared to, for example, the Obsidian Spear. Fending off an aggressive Jaguar without being attacked oneself tends to be easier with the stone spear for the same reason.

Rusty Axe

In the thick of the vast expanse of the Amazon rainforest, teeming with nature's wonders and hidden mysteries, lies evidence of modern human presence. As players delve into the depths of the jungle, they will stumble upon remnants left behind by those who ventured its terrain before them. Among these discoveries, one of the most prized for players in the early and mid-game stages is the rusty (modern) axe.

Randomly spawned on the map, the modern axe presents itself as a valuable find for adventurers. With its full durability intact, it proves highly beneficial to players with limited crafting skills. Additionally, the rusty axe boasts impressive damage capabilities, making it a versatile choice for both offense and defense against the dangers lurking in the jungle.

So, as players venture deeper into the heart of the jungle, keep a keen eye out for the rusty axe—a prized discovery that could tip the scales in your favor as you navigate the challenges of this wild and untamed environment.

Bone Knife

Once you've mastered the basics of survival, progression in the game naturally leads to hunting larger prey animals and defending against big cats and tribesmen. Harvesting these creatures offers more than just meat; they also provide bones—a versatile material for crafting various items. Among them the bone knife stands tall.

Crafted by combining a bone and a rope, this blade represents a significant advancement in your arsenal, offering superior cutting and combat capabilities. Whether you're skinning animals, hacking through thick vegetation, or defending against lurking threats, the bone knife proves its worth with its sharp edge, allowing for 20% more injury potential than its stone counterpart.

With full durability, the bone knife boasts an impressive lifespan of around 300 hits of intended use, making it one of the most durable blades available in the game. Even when used for unintended purposes, such as hitting trees or enemies, it still allows for approximately 200 hits, placing it at the top of the list alongside the obsidian blade. In contrast, other knives in the game typically offer only around 100 hits of unintended use.

Despite its durability, the bone knife maintains a manageable weight of 1.6 kg, placing it squarely in the middle of the blades category in terms of weight. When it comes to knives, the bone knife reigns supreme due to its unmatched combination of damage output, durability, and cost-effectiveness in crafting.

Obsidian Spear

For those who crave a more potent weapon in the game, look no further than the obsidian spear—a game-changer in the early stages of your survival journey. Crafted by attaching obsidian to a wooden spear with a sturdy rope, this formidable weapon offers superior sharpness and damage.

What sets the obsidian spear apart is its lethal effectiveness against both armored foes and larger prey. With its razor-sharp edge, it delivers 16% more impact than its stone counterpart and 29% more than a weak spear, making it a formidable choice for defense and hunting.

At full durability, the obsidian spear grants you a generous 200 hits, placing it in the top tier alongside the bamboo spear. In comparison, other weapons typically sustain only around 100 hits before breaking, highlighting the exceptional durability of the obsidian spear.

However, it's essential to understand its downsides. Weighing in at 4 kg, the obsidian spear is one of the heavier weapons in your arsenal, surpassed in the spear category only by the metal spear. Its weight may pose a challenge for those seeking to travel lightly through the jungle.

Additionally, the obsidian spear's reach may be limited and it will allow the opponent to strike back. This is particularly visible when dealing with venomous creatures. While it excels in close combat, attempting to impale such foes from a safe distance may prove futile, as they can strike back swiftly.

Despite these drawbacks, the obsidian spear remains unparalleled in terms of its damage, durability, and availability. In the balance of these factors, it emerges as the top choice among spears in Green Hell.

Bamboo Bow and Normal Arrow

No arsenal is complete without a ranged weapon, and the bow and arrow fit the bill perfectly. Crafted by combining a long bamboo stick and a rope, the bow offers precision and stealth in hunting and combat. All bows do the same damage, and a headshot from any will result in an instant kill, but the bamboo bow is preferable because it is the lightest one, weighing only 2.5 kg. Player-made arrows weigh 0.3 kg, while tribal arrows weigh 0.2 kg. Tribals take up a bit more inventory space, so it is up to personal preference which arrows to use weight-wise. In terms of damage, metal arrows deal 25% more damage than normal arrows and 36% more damage than tribal arrows. Since metal is a late-game material, I recommend using normal arrows in most cases. All bows use the same amount of stamina. Perfect your aim, and you'll be a formidable force against both wildlife and adversaries. I recommend pressing SHIFT and holding it before the release of the arrow, as this will cause your character to hold his breath for easier and more accurate aiming. This weapon can be crafted early into playing Green Hell and will stick with the player throughout their survival journey. With three varieties to choose from, all firing arrows at the same distance, it doesn't matter which bow a player has, but it is very important to have it equipped.

Metal blade

As we venture into the realm of late-game weapons, one category stands out above the rest: metal weapons. Crafting these formidable tools is a time-consuming process, requiring attention to detail and access to specialized materials. At the heart of this crafting process lies melted iron ore, a crucial component obtained by melting down old cans or raw iron ore in the forge. Additionally, the creation of a mold, essential for shaping the molten metal, involves harvesting mud bricks—a task that further adds to the complexity of the crafting effort.

By combining melted iron ore and a stone blade in the empty mold and baking it in the forge, players can create a metal blade cast. By combining it further with a rope, the player will make a pivotal step in the creation of the ultimate player-crafted knife: the metal blade. Renowned for its unrivaled durability, the metal blade outshines all others in terms of longevity, ensuring extended and reliable use in the harsh wilderness of Green Hell. The metal blade more than compensates for the time investment required for its creation with its exceptional resilience.

Moreover, the metal blade excels not only in durability but also in weight, tipping the scales at a mere 1.2 kg. This featherlight design makes it the lightest weapon available in the game, granting players unparalleled agility and maneuverability in combat situations. Its unparalleled durability and remarkable lightness make it a formidable choice for adventurers seeking to conquer the challenges of the jungle with precision and efficiency.

Metal Axe

Metal axe should become your trusted ally during the late stages of the game. Though its prowess may only just surpass that of the metal blade, the metal axe possesses enough raw power to instill confidence in any player facing the dangers of Green Hell. With just two well-placed headshots, it can dispatch even the most resilient tribesman, offering a formidable defense against the ambushes of hostile natives lurking in the jungle shadows. Weighing a modest 1.6 kg the this axe stands as a testament to both craftsmanship and reliability. Its durability of 140 ensures that it will not falter or break mid-battle, providing steadfast protection when it is needed most.

Crafting the metal axe is no simple feat, however. It requires players to first create a metal axe cast, a process that demands both time and resources. However, for late-game adventurers, this challenge is not impossible. By this stage, many will have already gathered the necessary materials to craft the separate components needed to assemble this formidable weapon.

While the metal axe may take longer to craft compared to its counterparts, its unparalleled strength and durability make it a worthy investment for any survivor navigating the dangers of Green Hell. With the metal axe by your side, you can face the challenges of the jungle with confidence, knowing that you wield a weapon capable of withstanding the trials that lie ahead.

Metal Spear

This spear is no lightweight contender—it's the heaviest spear you'll find in Green Hell. While its durability of 100 hits falls into the low-average category, it's the spear's sheer power that truly sets it apart. In terms of damage, this spear is a beast, boasting an impressive 33% more effectiveness than an obsidian blade, 44% more than a stone spear, and a staggering 53% more than a weak spear.

Metal spears are not your average fishing tools; they're weapons designed for serious combat. Capable of dispatching an attacking native in just two hits, this spear is the ultimate goal for any survivor looking to thrive in the jungle. While it can also be thrown for a decent distance, players must weigh the risks of losing such a valuable weapon. It's also highly recommended to reserve this weapon solely for combat, as its fragile body would be wasted on hunting when there are more cost-effective options available.

Wielding such power comes at a high construction cost. Crafting a Metal Spear requires a Metal Blade cast, a long stick, and rope—no small feat. Despite its time-consuming crafting process, the metal spear rightfully claims its place as the best damage-inflicting weapon in the game.

Surviving in Green Hell requires more than just luck; it demands skill, strategy, and the right tools for the job. By arming yourself with the top 10 best weapons from early to late game, you'll enhance your chances of survival and thrive in the dangerous depths of the Amazon rainforest. Master these weapons, hone your skills, and embrace the challenges that await you in Green Hell.
