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.

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.
