This guide lists all known weapons in No Rest for the Wicked, detailing their types, tiers, required attributes, and available runes.

All One-Handed Weapon Types

One-handed weapons are typically medium to fast-attacking and can be paired with a shield or bow. They come in various styles, each with different attack patterns. Knives are close-range and fast, katanas offer agility, and spears provide more range.

Knives

Knives are generally the fastest one-handed weapons, functioning like daggers with a focus on backstab damage. They can be used with a shield for increased defense at the cost of offense.
