Top 8 Bloodborne weapons

[@TheGauges420]

See i disagree completely... Im new to the whole 'Souls' genre of gaming, because i can just NEVER get into any game like that... But Bloodborne is free on PS Plus this month, and so i thought, why the fuck not lmao. Goddamn is this game challenging when you dont know what youre doing, i died so Many times before figuring out things like sprinting, and leveling up with the blood echoes i get... Well obviously i got past that hurdle cause now im looking up 'top weapons' guides to learn what are statistically the best 2 weapons in the game, so i csn have them equipped at all times (once im able to acquire them if im not far enough in the game of course)... Well i watched number 8 no problem, and then it comes to number 7, and i start reading the text on screen and it says 'its got alright damage when transformed, but thats not why this one is my FAVORITE' and it kind of struck me as a little odd is all.... I thought this was an actual top weapons in bloodborne guide, when in reality its just his favorite weapons in the game... The title could have easily been changed to 'MY top 8 weapons in Bloodborne' because that would make it the truth, whereas the way it is, is clickbait so we can watch and find out only what the creators favorites are... Like i have no problem in the world with this creator or their videos or even how the title or commentate said videos, but, just as a point of advice, if youre making a video about a game and its not a statistically factual list that you make, just put MY at the beginning of the title, as to Not draw in viewers that are looking for the ACTUAL best weapons in the game. No harm no foul though, i highly doubt this will even be read lmao.

[@TheGauges420]

Magicat i should have just stayed quiet lol. While i still firmly believe these probably still arent the actual top 8 weapons in the game, i will still give the video a like and move on, because it did give me some good information, and so i do thank you for that. That Whirligig Saw looks fucking epic lmao.

[@KuroiHoshiV]

Seth Kauffman You're wrong, some of them are really really good, specially the number 1 (pve related ofc) I also have never played Bloodborne (god bless PS plus) but I ain't new to the Souls series, however you can't just call the best weapon of the game, because there are a lot of things that can influence a weapon, such as utility, move set, scaling, if they're good for pve or pvp, lore (some people just go with that) and usefulness or quality (both pve or pvp in this case) or even personal taste like design, sound effects etc. So it is quite wrong to throw this video like a clickbait bc it is not, such previous points make it hard to pint point a top. Of course some are top tier and it all comes to an agreement that the weapon is good or broken but if you want to see a video that is unbiased then you'll never find it. However if you want to see a more "serious" video I recommend you visit PvPSkills channel he's a cool guy and knows his shit. But Keep in mind that everybody is going to be subjectiv on this topic. Good luck on your Hunt, and may you find your worth in the waking world

I don’t comment with critiques on many videos because people having the courage to make a video and put out content to help and/or entertain others earns a certain amount of respect but... I have to say that your video has a strangely satisfying flow/composition to it. It is just very well done for a text overlay style video. A lot of times it feels like a person making a video just enjoys hearing themselves talk but your video manages to be both humble and yet make you look knowledgeable and skilled while still showing your slight personal bias towards and against certain weapons. Anyway not that my opinion matters at all but I found your video to possibly be one of the best tutorial/opinion videos on a video game I’ve ever watched. Well done.

[@Scrummy64]

Easily one of Bloodborne's best qualities over Dark Souls is the absolutely ridiculous weapon variety, which in itself massively boosts the game's replayability; literally like 75% of the game's weapons are found in the last quarter or in The Old Hunters so monstrosities like the Burial Blade or the motherf***ing Whirligig Saw justify repeat playthroughs all by themselves

[@dankfailure4984]

I got a burial blade on my first play through before rom and got it to +10 and it was so much fun

[@onecrunch5308]

75% of the game's weapons are found closer to the first quarter of the game. I just finished the game and the majority of the weapons were at the beginning. There were only like two towards the end. I also don't think there are that many weapons in the main bloodborne game. Half of the weapons come from the DLC, so the original game alone doesn't have that huge of a variety. Including the DLC it does have a lot of variety, but only with it.

[@lmaxwell2751]

@@dankfailure4984 It is physically impossible to get the Burial Blade before Rom. You have to beat Rom then, at the end, kill Gherman, which gives you the Old Hunters Badge. Unless, you are talking about NG+, which in that case, it isn't your first playthrough. Unless, you are talking about the alternate versions of the weapon found in the Depth 5 chalice dungeons(Lower Loran & Pthumerian Ithyll). In that case, then maybe so. Still doubt it.

[@TheManWithTheFryingPan]

My favorite will always be the boom hammer. It's a pity more people don't use it, I swear I never see anyone who does. I bought the game with the dlc at the same time and did suicide runs in the hunters nightmare for two hours to get the weapons, and the boom hammer just stuck out among the rest. It had a viscious weight behind every blow, every attack in its admittedly short moveset served a purpose, and I can't begin to explain how great it felt to light up the hammer and deliver a charged R2 that would *send enemise flying*. The slow swings made the weapon near-cinematic to use, as I had time to process every hit I delivered, and just the way I would run towards a boss, hitting L1 and preparing for my next strike, was that kind of little detail that made my enjoyment for the game that much higher. For not to mention, it's a weapon that always let me use guns, which are my favorite type of weapons in bloodborne. That way the weapon is designed around bloodborne's more unique parrying mechanics, making it feel more logical for my hunter to use that sort of weapon, as well as making the combat feel less like dark souls.

[@OverusedBruhSFX]

Unpopular pick for my favorite but I seem to really enjoy the threaded cane. It was my first starting weapon pick when i first picked up BB and I really enjoyed it up until I got the kirkhammer then I had gotten a new favorite weapon.

@@Raigosai ah yes nazeem the top killable person

[@allenhernandez3350]

I’ve always been partial to the rifle spear. Just something so satisfying about executing a flawless r1 combo, jumping back, smoothly transitioning into rifle mode, then finishing with a visceral attack

[@Zieg_Games]

Surprised that LHB isn't on the list. Also surprised that the Burial Blade wasn't higher due to having the best moveset in the game, but the inability to buff it would cause problems for some.

[@cloudstrifeff7xx]

it is his opinions though. I love LHB thing is a beast.

[@onilink1612]

The Burial Blade would prob be my fav weapon if it could be buffed.

[@grimtemptations7853]

OniLink it can be buffed. I have the uncanny at +7 and got it in a chalice dungeon. I have phys increasing gems as well.

[@DavidVillaTorre]

Grim Temptations he means that you cant use fire and bolt paper

[@igornaimoli7321]

Imo best moveset in the game is Hunter's Axe but anyway they're both up there

[@dravendfr]

My weapons I main are Holy Moonlight Sword and Whirligig Saw, my favorite being the former. I’m glad you pointed out some of the under appreciated weapons in the game like the church pick. Here’s to hoping I see more unique players and not so many Ludwig’s Holy Blade scrub lords that linger even today.

[@bruh9708]

Let's be honest here The wheel is the best weapon

[@LordThatch]

Hey Vsauce, Memes Here you’re goddamned right

[@Sohelanthropus]

Transformed Kirkhammer does more damage and staggers in 1 hit basically overshadowing the Wheel

[@massivegat5087]

The wheel in a pure strength build gets outdamaged by the Kirk even though it has better scaling. Where the wheel really shines is a strength arcane build with arcane gems. People hit upwards of 2,000 damage with one swing in it's transformed state. Also the wheel has really really really good stagger

[@pongopea]

this wheel a weapon lmao

[@killertigergaming6762]

ThiccSombra .......no lololol

[@matthewnyegard8414]

Blades of Mercy carried me throughout most of the game.

[@moose2102]

2:41 and then turns into the Moonlight Greatsword you could find in any of the Dark Souls games

[@owneddenwo1856]

Those are all amazing weapons as usual, but personal preference Id keep most except BoM and rakuyo probably add to my list the beast cutter and boom hammer but that'd just me, great vid

[@NuGoWS]

i love how the game made so much different play styles. I mean im sure that we can talk about at least 15 different top 10's or smthng. Bc ever weapon is actually unique with their style and adv-dis. i personally love the hunter axe. Also logarius wheel is very op if u can use it. But its too overused for me.

[@Nick-mp1zh]

Should've mentioned how the Burial Blade has _Insane_ rally potential

[@alex_13_m]

You are one of the reasons I got my love for this game!❤ Years later I still haven't forgotten how thrilled I was for BB seeing its astethics, its wonderful lovecraftian assets and the action pack you just showcased here! Good stuff, fellow hunter!

[@Tiagotaf]

I've always been fond of the kirkhammer. Completed the game 4 times with it, including chalice dungeons and the platinum trophy. It's just so satisfying hammering my way around with it!

[@celestialblade9895]

I finally got to playing and beating the game a little while ago, and didn't really bother even buying the Kirkhammer as it didn't seem to fit my style. I just did my second playthrough and figured yeah I'll get it this time and my god is it a beast when you get the hang of it

[@mfndevil_]

The Bloodletter and the Holy Moonlight sword are by far my favorites in the game, i have my Mercy Blades just in case of an emergency against some creatures or bosses, but that Whirligig Saw, i’ll be damned, the damage, the range, it’s the perfect boss killer

[@dougyoungman4191]

I like the Hunter Axe. It's versatile and does good damage at a decent speed that also tranforms into a halbred that I can spin2win on crowds or if I'm trying to keep some distance.

[@mrsentencename7334]

Two handed hunters axe is the only way to use it for me

[@vitucovigo]

Nice video dude! I love whirligig saw, but with the best gems the most satisfying weapon for me is the threaded cane. You know making a bad weapon something serious is amazing :D

[@magicat7356]

Oh I've seen that in pvp, thinking "lol what a scrub, brings threaded cane against my giant saw hammer!" and then they proceeded to flog me to death in 5 seconds without taking a single scratch.

[@kunami13sora]

Vituco that thing is my personal favorite starter weapon, my weapon of choice with NG6, and one of the most underrated weapons in pvp in my opinion haha

[@sotheofdaein]

Vituco love the threaded cane, its my go-to, i also use the stake driver

[@A1phaz0ne]

Threaded cane isn't a bad weapon though....

[@quientinmoser3865]

Alphazone compared to most of the other weapons it kind of is

[@the..theundeadithink9378]

6, the music starts playin and you already know what it is

[@DjurrenArt]

The Bloodletter kinda looks like a more effed up version of Molag Bal's mace.

[@Nocure92]

"Youd think the 1h swing would be faster" Not really, a huge heavy two handed sword would be slower with one hand as opposed to two.

[@Epixcreation]

No love for my bow blade

[@insertbadassname604]

Craig Hogan I do love my Bowblade

[@vanarzyksianardeamnis3078]

Craig Hogan Me too, one of the coolest weapons for me

[@vanillaconfusion89]

It's okay, my hunter's saif wasn't mentioned either ;-;

[@KumaTheSenpai]

Bowblade is best!

[@arandomperson8032]

Bowblade is life .......even though I haven't even got to use it:-(

[@UditSingh]

Threaded cane is life

[@magicat7356]

Or death.

[@UditSingh]

Magicat the Magical Cat great vid tho. Why don't you narrate ?

[@arnofrederix9541]

hahah good1

[@jordanpoveda2979]

U mean the pimp cane

[@blooper5li]

Late as I am to the party on this, I agree. Threaded Cane has some insane damage as a late game weapon, its transformed version has incredible crowd control, and it's got a great moveset for locking enemies in. It also completely bodies most bosses thanks to reliable, fast damage output. I'd argue that it's entirely because of the Threaded Cane I managed to beat the Orphan of Kos first try. If anyone here hasn't tried a 50 skill Cane run, you're missing out. My last character ended up with over 500 AR by level 105 without directly farming for Blood Gems. I can imagine that people who really try could get that number over 600 without too much effort.

[@Staticaged]

This was very enjoyable to watch for some reason. Great job on the video.

[@ISAACHALLEY3000]

Nice list! Stake Driver, Beast Cutter and Kos Parasite are my favorites.

[@dravendfr]

My top 8: 8: Hunter’s Axe 7: Beasthunter Saif (you can lump Saw Cleaver and Saw Spear in with it, but the lunge attacks for me and the style are why I like the Saif the most.) 6: Beast Claw (With Beast’s Embrace rune, has anyone heard of using these without it?) 5: Blade of Mercy 4: Rakuyo 3: Holy Moonlight Sword (really pushing for number one right now) 2: Whirligig Saw (the perfect complement weapon to whatever I main. Whirligig is always with me.) 1: Burial Blade Special consideration to Bloodletter, Logarius’ Wheel, Church Pick, Stake Driver, and Rifle Spear. These are all weapons I could see being really good, but some never caught on with the community. I would love to try them, but that will take time.

[@sularinaki]

Draven Flores-Rios like my list

[@aru1825]

Finally someone with accurate tastes ... but i would switch the beast claws with the burial blade tho

[@dougp5044]

I like your list. I think though you should have given honorable mention to Saw Cleaver the most versatile weapon in my opinion and also Ludwig Blade which hits like a truck. But like I said I do like your list don't have any thing I would disagree with for sure 👍

[@magicat7356]

I did the list more based on the fun factor of the weapons, not so much on effectiveness. But, glad you like it!

[@Matt-wj3zy]

The most versatile weapon is the beast hunter saif

[@VisionoftheChief]

Nice list, I agree with most of these. I would've added The Beasthunter Saif, Threaded Cane, Chikage, and my all time favorite, Simon's Bowblade

[@ocealus]

Splendid video I must say, my top 8 would be: 8: Logarius wheel 7: burial blade (which I prefer calling "scythe") 6: whirling saw 5: Blades of mercy (very good against all bosses except BSB) 4: Chikage 3: moonlight blade 2: tonitrus (excellent against all bosses and most enemies) 1: threaded cane (best starter weapon too)

[@snowhawkthorne630]

Great list! Beat the game the first time with the threaded cane and saw spear. Doing a new play through and now using the church pick as my first ever +10 weapon

[@Bears_64]

I some how beat the Orphan of Kos in one go with the Super pizza cutter and I felt like a badass

[@xshullaw]

[@jaydeejay4166]

you are the first person in this comments section to mention the Amygdalan Arm why no one loves?

[@pigeon2910]

I love the weapons of Bloodborne because every weapon has some kind of transformation that makes it more awesome than it was

[@jasminelee1909]

Seems like the Bloodletter might have been an attempt by the Healing Church to copy the technique used by those of Cainhurst. As both make the use of blood in enhancing a weapon's characteristics, along with using a Hunter's bloodtinge.

[@apophis7712]

That actually sounds kind of plausible

[@IGagaFever]

The Boom Hammer. I mean come on that weapon is fudging amazing! Great list for the most part though!

[@magicat7356]

Thanks but um... Boom Hammer is actually my least favourite weapon. Just feels too clunky.

[@IGagaFever]

Magicat the Magical Cat aww I see. Well, the holy moonlight + Rakuyo are my faves so I’m satisfied.

[@emmanueledallavecchia8516]

The beashunter Saif is truly underrated

[@Godz_Villuz]

Yeah, he saved me with Ludwig, Maria and Orphan of Kos

[@thonur]

everyone is avoiding the most effective weapon:the bible

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

The bible is just plain genocidal nasty. Bloodborne weapons are more peaceful than that

[@JakeJupiter]

Great thing about Bloodborne is every weapon is viable, and mostly all can be fun to use. My personal fave is Chikage though.

[@danielboyd6927]

Beast claw belongs here. It builds up beasthood just by attacking without the need of beast blood pellets. It’s really fast and integrates dodges and especially backsteps into the moveset very effectively. Beast claw + beast’s embrace rune + lead elixir + guidance rune (optionally some rally gems) is incredibly fun because you essentially become an unstoppable force plowing through anything you desire. Absolutely my favourite weapon. Fast, crazy, wild, unpredictable and unique. Just what bloodborne is all about

[@Zanemob]

I love the Blood-drunk Hunters in the DLC... I laugh everytime they say, "Bloood! NOOOOWW!". They're and funny and terrifying at the same time...

[@Chreis_Art]

A couple of my favorites (that weren’t mentioned) are the Chikage for being badass and my initial playthrough weapon, and the Beasthunter Saif for having my favorite movement oriented move set. Plus, have to give props to the Saw Cleaver for its raw utility in pretty much every situation.

[@HM4Hill]

No love for the beast claws?

[@baba9609]

Beating Ludwig and getting Zangetsu was one of my favorite moments in Bloodborne.

[@amateurknightt]

That self-stab bloodletter hit was fuckign top tier

[@norealname1508]

Where's my damn ,WHEEL AT! You may play tuff with you hammers scythes and swords! But you'll never reach the WHEEL! It makes you look like a damn savege! But idk why but, it's sooooo awesome! It cheers for you whenever you change into second mode! Like this "UUUWWWWWWWWrrrrAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG!!!!!!" And makes you a walking tank! And "may the good blood guide your way"

[@Bersh-xq4jy]

3:02 I always wanted my character to yell getsuga tensho whenever he launched a moonlight projectile

[@jaredlind2888]

The best weapon in the game is the flamesprayer, high arcane stats, and the auger of ebrietas. I just finished an arcane playthrough and it was stupid easy. Stun with the auger and walk in a circle around an enemy while blasting them with fire, the damage is through the ceiling.

[@jatorakoju7237]

Great vid I love the descriptions you put on for each weapon

[@TheMrWillje]

When I saw the title for this video and it's format I thought it was going to be bad, like those lists that have Ludwig's, Saw Cleaver and the Kirkhammer at # 1,2, and 3, but this is such an awesome list. I didn't even know that the Church Pick was a good weapon but I can't wait until I try it now. Thanks a lot man! Subscribed

[@themacca277]

my personal 1. Saw Spear 2. Bloodletter 3. Whirligig 4. Beastcutter 5. Rakuyo 6. Chikage 7. Holy Moonlight sword 8. Reiterpallasch

[@Shmooper_Dooper]

The Macca why do u like saw spear so much? i’m doing a run with it rn and it’s pretty good

[@LandfillProductions]

Robert Swisher serrated damage in both forms (automatic beast/boss melter), can be buffed with beast blood pellets (even more boss melting) and fire paper (and yet even more boss melting). It's good on stamina consumption, fast R1s, insane roll catching in PVP, long range when transformed. List goes on. It's the best combo of speed, stamina efficiency, power, bosskilling and PVP in the game.

[@fujitafunk]

LandfillAO1 basically said it. I'm going to add that the saw spear is my dungeon/farming weapon. I use fire gems with it and it just tears through anything that's a beast. The charged R2 in the tricked mode works well against Brainsuckers too because it's a thrust attack, although the untricked mode is fast enough to drop them and most kin in 3 or so hits.

[@Dee-Ell]

Agreed. Besides the technical reasons, there is that special feeling of satisfaction when this serrated weapon cuts through beast meat that a sword-type weapon and a blunt weapon don’t provide. Very versatile move-set with sweeps and thrusts, with close-range fast attacks and long-range effectiveness when needed. This is my trusted no fanciness go-to hunter tool.

[@dyldragon1]

My top 8 would probably be: 8) Blades of Mercy 7) Whirligig Saw 6) Hunter's Axe 5) Kirkhammer 4) Church Pick 3) Kos Parasite 2) Amygdalan Arm 1) Logarius' Wheel

[@lilbrother21]

I've never seen anyone use it but I love the stake driver

[@danlorett2184]

It's OK, but it requires such a specific playstyle and really only gets good once you farm Chalice dungeon gems for it. If you go thru the trouble of learning how to use charge attacks against most enemies and pimp one out, it does hilariously stupid damage. As a weapon used in a regular playthrough it's not that good.

[@runcher977]

My first main weapon damn i love stake driver

[@sul_sa7ari288]

One more thing about the scythe is the rally potential is great

[@bellabeales4099]

HAHA i like your video!! ☺️ Ty for sharing and yes the whirligig is by far my favorite!

[@Crazelord91]

Finally using the Hunter Axe (fully upgraded) changed the game from an unrelenting level difficulty to just very hard difficulty for me. Areas that I could barely get 5 minutes in without dying (like Nightmare of Mensis), became actually playable. Especially when I add fire to it, it becomes a godsend

[@chrisfarleyjr.2574]

If The Adam's family and Devil May Cry had a child

My personal favorite number 1 weapon is Ludwig’s holy blade, a bit sad that it wasn’t here but still really great video I enjoyed it start to finish
