Tool
Halloween Weapon Comparison
Compare weapons side by side by damage, stamina cost, Daze, Bleed, Force, story availability and Challenge use. Each stat is judged on its own — this tool never scores weapons against each other.
What matters most to you?
Showing every stat. No combined score — the values measure different things.
Quick comparison
Generated from the values below, one stat at a time.
Broken Bottle has lower stamina cost, stronger Force and higher attack power, while Wood Axe has higher damage per hit.
Side-by-side stats

Ties are grouped into a single rank — a list can hold more weapons than it has ranks. Firearms are not ranked against melee weapons because the values are not comparable.
How to read these stats
- Damage on hit
- Direct hit property. Shown as the average across the weapon’s attacks.
- Attack power
- A separate combat property from damage on hit. The two are never added into a single “total damage” value.
- Stamina per attack
- Lower is better: it costs less stamina per swing, which matters over a longer fight.
- Daze / Bleed / Force
- Three separate combat effects. They are not damage, and they are never added together.
- The “higher than N of M” line
- How many other melee weapons that use this stat this weapon beats. Ties are common, which is why the page does not use a “#1” label.
