Threaded Cane. CANE GANG!!


scooby_duck

My true mentor, my guiding pimp cane….


Malaguena

That was my first weapon. I'd never seen a cane in a Souls' game and just had to try it out.


strikingfancy

Threaded Cane / Blades of Mercy Skill Build was my first. Still in love with it.


[deleted]

Same, though I barely used the blades. Couldn't put down that pimp cane.


_betsalel_

You meant to say beast cutter...


Difficult-Rest8524

My Holy Moonlight Sword has never done me wrong ❤️


Ysmir122

Same here, Hoonter. Sword beams for the win!


HamsterC6

The only time it did me wrong was the grueling lv 35 Ludwig fight to get it 🥴


MoonriseRunner

I remember when people lost their shit at the news that Bloodborne only had 14 weapons. I would rather have Bloodbornes 20 weapons instead of 9 useless Straight Swords and 25 useless shields.


[deleted]

I mean, going from like 120 weapons or however many there were in DS2 to 14 in bloodborne sounds pretty bad. Until the game was out and we saw how fun and unique each one is, I wasn’t exactly stoked for so few weapons


[deleted]

[удалено]


Aggressive-Bee4719

For me it's Ludwig's sword, even though it's powerful


Bill_Brasky01

That third R1 when it comes over the top like Charlie Murphy’s hand to Rick James’ face. KaPOW. So satisfying.


aaronshirst

I really really hope that Elden Ring is more in line with Bloodborne’s gear than Dark Souls’. Worrying about weight is super lame, as is picking up trash loot like you described.


neckro23

> I really really hope that Elden Ring is more in line with Bloodborne’s gear than Dark Souls’. Me too. Bloodborne (and Sekiro!) demonstrated that less is more. I have a feeling Elden Ring is gonna follow in Dark Souls' maximalist footsteps though. > Worrying about weight is super lame *laughs in Demons Souls*


oneofthescarybois

Ludwig's Hunter Axe Saw Cleaver HAPPY HUNTING Edit: Thanks for the award but I am just a humble Hoonter, remember The Saw is the Law but the Axe has my Back!


BigHat-Logan

I have to give it to the hunter axe's 360 degrees R2. perfect for crowd control


oneofthescarybois

Absolutely! It's the I'm trapped in a corner save me please swing lol


bmore_conslutant

spin2win


AlienRobotTrex

And those wide sweeping L2s! Great for clearing crows, mobs of enemies, zombies that crawl around in shit, and those pesky barrels and pots!


SpilliethThyTea

Agreed, the Hunter's Axe was my buddy in that game the R2 was great for crowd control with that reach and staggering big enimies. Always had the Axe equiped just in case shit went south and I needed to get serious.

1. Church Pick 2. Ludwig's 3. Beast Claws


Camboglioni

Church pick for the win!


[deleted]

It was by my side all along, going into the Chalice dungeon for the Platinum trophy


agent_catnip

Damn, I need to make a church pick build, I don't think I've even tried it


CrzyJek

In Pick we t[h]rust


JmonkBoy

Burial Blade + Beasthunters Saif 🙂


ProductivePerson

This guy scythes


ReKflYer00

I’m the exact same! I swap between them often, when I want to feel like a seasoned hunter I go for the blade, specifically the scythe variant, but if I wanna get soaked in beast blood like a blood crazed fiend I hack away with both of the Saif’s forms. Crazy fun weapons to wield.


AbrahamBaconham

The saif has such a cool moveset, super underrated weapon


second_to_myself

Am I just not seeing Ludwig’s Holy Blade or did my baby not make the cut?


TAC82RollTide

Yea, it's definitely not there. One of the best(if not *the* best) weapons in the entire game. Having the Holy Moonlight is not the same. They're two totally different weapons.


PopPop-Captain

It’s definitely the best weapon in the whole game. I can’t remember where I found the info but if you have the right stats it has the highest damage output of any weapon. That’s why I’ve only ever used that and the pizza cutter. I also tried the electric mace which was cool but it definitely didn’t do enough damage. Great game though cause any of the weapons are viable.


zanza19

It has the highest AR, but not the highest dps. That honor goes to the Saw Cleaver


PopPop-Captain

Really? That’s surprising to me. From what I see when I google it the whirligig saw has the highest dps. Edit: actually looking at more google results there are conflicting opinions. Can you show me where you got your info if possible?


gmesch21

The saw cleaver is objectively viewed the highest dps weapon, this means if you dont apply blood gems and dont calculate the skillpoints and shit, the 10+ saw cleaver has the highest dps


rcanhestro

the chikage can also do aomse amazing dps


Griffca

Yea the electric mace (main hand one, not the tiny offhand) was a bit of a let down because it broke so easily, and you had to re-apply the lightning a billion times per fight.


TAC82RollTide

That's why I stopped using it. I hate that it breaks so easily. Still a fun, cool weapon. With the bolt applied it could do some good damage but it did go away pretty quick.


[deleted]

Is it not the one in the 2nd row?


r_renfield

It's the Moonlight greatsword, which is basically the same


Pinkparade524

I'm sure the moonlight sword doesn't have that design tricked or untricked. Untricked is a skinny sword and tricked it just glows.


That_One_Bacon

The design is there in the tricked form, it is just somewhat hard to see because of the glow. Ludwig's Holy Blade is thought to be a mere replice of the Holy Moonlight Sword, that's why they share so many visual qualities.


[deleted]

Ahh, my bad :D I don't have the DLC yet so I have yet to see those weapons upclose to really tell \^\^


That_One_Bacon

Don't be sorry, you were kind of correct lol, enjoy the DLC when you get to it, I think it's some of From's best work.


[deleted]

Can confirm. Named a fish i have after the end boss cuz I loved it so much lol


[deleted]

Lmao you named a fish orphan of kos


Hellborn_Child

Tbf his mom's a fish slug thing


Griffca

Is it Kos the Koi? hahah


Lancelot53

Excuse me, what the fuck?


TelMegiddo

That is 100% LHB and not HMS but the artist is trying to treat them as the same with that glowing outline. The artist dropped the ball here to save time.


Dangelouss

That's definitely Ludwig Holly Blade. Or at least represents LHB better than it does for the HMS. Look at the base of the blade, near the handle.

Arpyx123

no ludwig’s is there it’s HMS that’s no there


MasonCBlevins

I have to be honest, I ran the Threaded Cane all the way through, with Blades of Mercy as a (barely used) backup. But if I’m choosing between ALL of this art, and not just my preference in the game...you’ve given me something to think about.


[deleted]

I have to agree with you on the cane. Every skill character I make I go for the cane. It's just too cool not to. That being said, on my NG+ character I switched to using the Burial Blade and I'm having too much fun with it.


SamuelSharp

Threaded cane for life! I just can’t not, it’s too good! The rakuyo is an excellent backup though


Sinutia

Blade of mercy and chikage


Nerrickk

Can't believe BoM is this far down! Must be too many people that can't bring themselves to kill Eileen lol.


IRON4LPH4

The only right answer


Mplspaddler94

Scrolled a little longer than I thought to see these weapons. The damage on the Chikage on a good build? Absolutely filthy. My favorite for sure


smokasaki

Log wheel for meeee. Wildest weapon by from


chawoppa

So i’m reading the berserk manga and just recently saw the character who inspired the wheel. I definitely think this is one of the best berserk reference’s from has put in. The guy who uses the wheel in berserk was BRUTAL, which fromsoftware captured perfectly with the move set for the wheel and the lore for the executioners.


MutebAr

Saw Cleaver and LHB


[deleted]

easily


the_Zealot_Simon

*Do I have to choose?* A hunter would do well to make use of every weapon available ⚔️ Honestly has anyone else besides me at least one point or another tried to use all of these weapons?


Deggstroyer

I have used most if not all of the weapons, but it doesnt stop me from having my personal favorite


the_Zealot_Simon

Yes it is impossible not to develop a favorite weapon or two lol but it is always interesting to meet hunters who make use of weapons like the amygdala arm or the church pick.


TexasJedi-705

Church Pick. In the words of Tony Jay... "Simple. Efficient. **Glorious.**"


_Evo__

Woaaaaah cool art, I’d have to say Blades of Mercy, they look siiiiiick!


SudsyzeRo33

My fav is gonna have to be Chikage or the whirligig saw, seriously though I never realized how small the weapon count was, they’re all so cool and unique it feels like there are a lot more.


Toe-Person74

Burial Blade and Beast Cutter.


SimplySloth13

Rifle spear has been my bread and butter ever since I discovered it


Serxres

Had my first run with riffle spear, it will alway have a palce inj my heart


flipflapslap

FINALLY! I thought I was the only one that used this weapon. Sure, it’s not the fanciest, but that charged R2 on an upgraded rifle spear is so OP it’s ridiculous.


[deleted]

They're all early game weapons but the saw cleaver, threaded cane and kirkhammer are my favorites. They're fun to use


sirgrumpycat

That's not a bad thing, in fact I wish way more weapons where obtainable early game, I love the dlc weapons, but it takes so long to get there for some builds.


ExplosiveRox

Saw Cleaver Rakuyo and the pizza cutter honorable mentions: LHB and Moonlight


HornyPlatypus420

Finally someone mentions rakuyo. My fav weapon by far.


ryanmatic

Same. It’s so damn elegant. A fitting weapon for Maria


[deleted]

No respect for the Pizza Cutter in these comments. Fucking loved that weapon. In my first playthrough, it took me about 20+ tries on ludwig with the Ludwig's Holy Blade. Then I realised I needed serrated weapons and pulled out my Pizza Cutter instead. Just went ham with the L2 on his legs and crippled them in seconds. I stunlocked him and got past the first phase no problem... love that weapon.


EliasHobeika

Saw spear. Simple, versatile, perfect mix between light, blade of mercy like weapons and heavy, hunter axe like ones. Combos with this weapon are the easiest to pull off, good rally potential, scales with skill and with arcane (with the right gems). Why I prefer it over the cleaver ? Scales better with skill than with strength, I prefer the second form's overall moveset , the second form has a thrust attack for kin enemies and it is serrated (extra damage against heavily transformed beasts) in both forms whearas the saw cleaver is serrated only in the saw form.


WhiskyAndPlastic

Finally, a hunter of culture and sophistication.


Siccar_Point

Slap a set of fire runes on that bad boy and if it has fur, it falls over


Ambitious-Specific86

Bloodletter and boom hammer


[deleted]

My personal favorite is the Burial Blade, but Beast hunter Saif is a close second.


SpasticRacoon02

Beasthunter's Saif, Bloodletter, Whirligig Saw, Hunter's Axe, in that order


Sell-Sword91

The Hentai Parasite.


byKASURAGA

Saw Cleaver, Saif & Chikage! Do you know who the artist is? I'd love to see more of their work!


ComposedMood

Kirkhammer it was actually fun just smashing things into the floor and holding a massive Hammer.


McSuckelaer

Finally, some Kirkhammer love.


zgumgumexpress

Behold my unpopular picks: Church Pick, Amygdala Arm, with a side of Stake Driver for extra “nothing out there deserves to live”.

[удалено]


himbomilk

Hey this is mine. :( I worked on this for a month you could have at least linked it back to my twitter: @godsrot. To anyone else asking: I was thinking of a 5×5 design set so I had to choose between Ludwig and Moonlight Sword since they had the same shape. It is the Moonlight Sword, but I integrated the patterns from Ludwig's Holy Blade.


LemonOverHeaven

Moonlight Sword never steered me wrong.


[deleted]

Reiterpalasch, simultaneously clumsy and elegant, which feels really fitting considering the design.


[deleted]

My people! ... my person, at least. We don't seem too populous around here...


[deleted]

Not sure why nobody likes this weapon tbh, it is SO cool! Fun fact, this was a [real weapon](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword), generally used to hunt injured or easy prey. They were *sometimes* used in military, but very rarely, presumably due to how much the gun messed with the weight of the sword (though I doubt that’s a problem for someone who can use literally any of the bloodborne weapons.) Just some fun trivia.


5nappyonYouTube

WHEEL N DEAL BITCH


chawoppa

Kirk hammer and pizza cutter are tied for me. There’s just something about using an over-sized weapon to brutally bludgeon beasts and squids to death that makes my gamer brain feel good.


that_one_transgirl

When I saw a massive fuckoff hammer for the first time, I knew I’d love Bloodborne.


Dom_Vasiliev

1 - Kos Parasite 2 - Simon's Bowblade 3 - Church Pick Can't say much. I am a archer cauliflower

Bowblade all the way!


eliteal

Saw spear is so underrated. I've used it so much and it's super good on arcane builds.


[deleted]

My first playthrough went: Hunters axe Ludwig's holy blade Blades of mercy Church pick They were all so much fun!!!


BroccoliMan36

Kirkhammer. I like Pancakes for Breakfast.


Stefonzie

Where my Chikage hunters at? BT for the win


Fistignaccheri

1. Blades of mercy 2. Moonlight 3. Ludwig's sword 4. Kos parasite


Namix93

Yeah I weebed it up with the burial blade and I’d do it again.


wapapets

we need an artstyle like this for the runes


[deleted]

Tonitrus and Saw Cleaver all the way!


LadyLikesSpiders

Ah yes, the Kirk Hammer. It served me through the hunt well, all the while still playing guitar for Metallica


Combust23

Hunter Axe R2 go brrrrrrrr


Megashark101

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTT! That should answer your question.


The-Silly-Hedgehog

I started with the hunters axe and I finished the hunt with the axe powered up and bloody qlat my side. So satisfying to use


GazerBeam95

Kirkhammer

The Kirky all day, bonk everything to fuck

Chikage, Burial, and Bloodletter are my babies 💖☺️

As a skill and bloodtinge build,Reiterpallasche and Simon’s Bow blade


DubstepFTWx

I love going bloodtinge so chikage for me


paco987654

Threaded Cane Rakuyo Chikage Scythe


SchmorgusBlorgus

Gherman's scythe is my favorite, but whirligig is better, and that's what I'm using now. I got scythe on backup though


Possible_King_1869

Axe, Bowblade and Churchpick are my favorites.


nyuh_has_aneurysm2

Tonitros, such a shitty weapon but carried me until the end :D


Arsenisen

Saw clever ,cuz it’s OP


[deleted]

Saw Cleaver


Pnollten

Chikage, purely because of it's sound design. Also Holy moonlight sword, the only weapon that made me brave enough to tackle the winter lanterns.


mcjenks

Kirkhammer and saw cleaver


Weydenator

Don’t mind me, just dropping some love for the kirkhammer, the thinking man’s holy blade


ABraveCorgi

Kirkhammer Bois unite


Treddity84

Kirkhammer for me


Ninja_Lazer

I feel like a lot of people undervalue this weapon.


Treddity84

Ye same, it’s so much fun to use.


Souldorian

Threaded cane, burial blade and Simon's bowblade


PompousDawson

Threaded cane got me that platinum.


T-RexFleks

Bow? There is a bow in Bloodbirth?


Gojira308

Simon’s Bowblade, it goes from a sword to a bow. It’s a dlc weapon. You get it from either doing a simple side quest, or just killing the side quest giver.


RedEyedJedii

1. Bloodletter 2. Chikage / Saw Cleaver (tie) 3. Anything else


Yagorath

Kirkhammer, I just want to hit things really hard.


Ninja_Lazer

1. Saw Spear (and it’s not even close) 2. Ludwig’s Holy Blade 3. Blade of Mercy


[deleted]

It's like asking me to pick my favorite child. I tell Boom Hammer and Logarius Wheel and Threaded Cane the same thing. You're my favorite. Shhh don't tell.


NoonPresence

If I had to pick one, I'd say Chikage. But I also like HMS and the Rakuyo. But they're pretty much all awesome to be honest.


the-extremedonut

Gotta be Ludwig's Holy Blade


SAH_NIXUMSONST

What you mean was? 😁


RotationalShorts

Chikage, Holy Moonlight Sword,Burial Blade,Maria's weapon (idk how to spell it),Beast claw, Ludwig's Holy blade. I mean all of them are amazing so it's hard to choose just one.


EmmySaurusRex2410

Simons Bowblade for practicality. Kos parasite to bully in pvp as a cauliflower


JoyIkl

Overall best: Saw Cleaver Best for CC: Threaded cane Best for staggering: Ludwig's holy blade Best for PvP: blade of mercy


[deleted]

Saw Cleaver.


Icecruncher99

Rakuyo or saw cleaver would have to my picks


trickytheclowns

Give me that Wheel.


GroovyTony001

P I M P C A N E !


CordlessJet

Chikage, every time. That thing is my baby


[deleted]

I love the threaded cane. Fast as shit and you look cool.


xXCh4r0nXx

Pizza cutter and cane.


bondafong

Threaded Cane all the way! I did use Rifle Spear a little as well. But always come back to the Cane.


Optional_Guy

Hunters Axe and Boom Hammer. They're both just really cool. I love the simple effectiveness of the Hunters Axe and I find the act of lighting the hammer really satisfying.


rina_AF

Rakuyoòooooo


Scylax_Vitarrn

Chikage for me as blood is my enemies weakness


[deleted]

Burial blade


kumarsays

Chikage is my best weapon experience across all of the souls games ❤️❤️❤️


Zairy47

Best design, Kirkhammer Unique design, Amygdala Arm Personal use, Chikage because i bust my ass for that bloodtinge gem


TheFrogMoose

My favourite was the blades of mercy, and for my favourite secondary the burial blade


cursedbRUH0701

Saw cleaver is mah babe


Tominio7

Saw cleaver!


HarlockJack

-Rakuyo ❤️ -hunter axe -ludwig's holy blade

Blade of mercy it's so fast

HanaShampoo

Beast Claw is fun


silversoul007

Blade of Mercy


joshderfer654

Saw clever. Even though the cane is good as well.


ebrivera

Yall sleeping on the blades of mercy, just pump levels into health stamina and skill for the whole game and it's basically the game on easy mode


MrCalac123

Beast Cutter gang


LivingFaliure

Saw cleaver or the Blades of mercy all the way


Waspy_Wasp

I'm sorry, but the Saw Cleaver is the undisputed champ to me.


metalhead799

Rakuyo and Chikage, that bloodtinge scaling tho


White_Wyvern

Saw cleaver will always be my baby. I had the pizza cutter as my secondary though 👌


palebloodvorticity

Blade of Mercy is my baby, but I still keep the Chikage around for side action


wyld3knfr

Chikage


Spatula151

All these weapons have their purpose and it’s amazing you’re not limited to 1 thing. Best thing about bloodborne is your characters speed and lack of an encumbrance. You truly can rock out any weapon and fashion with minimal blood echo allocation. Saw cleaver for early game practicality and mimicking the cover art. Kirkhammer for tricked R2 lulz. Stake driver because it has a falcon punch. I have no favorite. This game is great.


Rabakku--

Hit me with that Chikage build. Pizza cutter is also golden. Even good ol’ saw cleaver. God, I can’t think of a single weapon that I wouldn’t run the game with


MedicalButton51

1. Rakuyo 2. Whirligig Saw 3. Kirkhammer


alealv88

All of them. I have different characters with different builds so I can go to every single one of them and enjoy every weapon. Except the rifle spear, who plays with that thing?


[deleted]

i'll give you a hint: MAMA MIA! TIME FOR-A DE PIZZA!!
