The Forest Weapon’s Tier Effectiveness Index 2.0

Overview

An Updated Version Of My Previous Weapon’s Tier Guide ( Doesn’t Include Weapon Upgrades )

Introduction

This Is An Updated Version Of My Previous Guide.

Base On The Recent Experiences And Field Testing , I’ve Reevaluate The Weapon’s Tier.

Before We Begin , Some Disclaimer :

1) This Guide Is 100% My Opinion , So Don’t Be Salt When Your Favourite Tool Ranks Low.

2) This Guide Doesn’t Consist Weapon Upgrades , So The Tools Is In Their Neutral State.

3) I Welcome Your Opinion , But Don’t Bash Me For My Personal Opinion.

Ok , Without Further Due , Let’s Go !

Weapon’s Tier Effectiveness Index 2.0


As I Said Before , I’ve Evaluate These Tools Base On Their Damage , Block , Reliablity , Rarity And Popularity.

Tier D Weapons

1. Upgraded Stick :

Although It Has A Good Speed , I Put It At The Lowest Tier Because I Didn’t Bother To Use It As A Weapon.

This Weapon Become Even More Useless When You Have The Warmsuit.

However Upgraded Stick Is Extremely Useful When It Comes To Cremate Cannibals Remains.

Simply Gather Their Dead Remains At A One Place , And Then Smack Them Once.

With This Method , You Could Save A Bottle Of Molotovs Or A Flaregun Ammo.

2. Plane Axe :

Upon Crashing , This Tool Is Your Best Buddy , But As You Progressed Through The Game , This Thing Become Obsolete As Rusty Axe , Crafted Axe And Modern Axe Simply Overpowers It.

Only Useful During Like Day 1-2.

Pro Tips , Combine This With Cloth To Get Light + Heat Bonus , But Be Aware That With A Few Swings , The Effect Will Gone In A Second.

3. Club :

Good Block And Damage , But Slow Speed.

I Put This At The Lowest Tier Because It’s Damn Ugly.

No Reason To Use This Unless This Thing Is Your ” First Find “.

4. Crafted Axe :

In The Previous Guide , Some People Said I’m High Because I Put This Tool In The Lowest Tier.

Well Folks , I Stand My Ground.

It’s Slow , Although It Has A Excellent Block.

But This Thing Becomes Obsolete When You Have The Rusty Axe Which Is Easy To Find.

Tier C Weapons

1. Climbing Axe :

Quite Hard To Get This , But This Tool Is Vital If You Want To Climb A Wide Cave Gap.

But For Combat? Mehhh…

2. Modern Bow :

Sike , You Must Be Suprised At This Point.

Modern Bow Is Dope-Looking , And A Very Rare Item.

But The Reason It’s Stuck At Tier C? Simple , It’s A Pain In The Butt To Get This Crap.

Think About This , You’ll Have To Make A Journey Into The Centre Of The Earth Just For Some Stupid Carbon Projectile Launcher? At This Point , I Rather Use Crafted Bow.

Moreover , The Amount Of Damage Are By The Types Of Arrows.

Normal Arrows : Weakest.
Bone Arrows : 40% Stronger Than Normal Arrows.
Modern Arrows : Strongest.

P/S : You Can Find Modern Arrows In The Yellow Briefcase At The Film’s Crew Camp Or In The Modern Axe’s Cave.

3. Tennis Racket :

Decent Damage , Good Speed But It Lacks Popularity.

What Are You? Novak Djokovic?

You’re In A Survival Situation , Not In A Sports Event.

4. Head Bomb :

Deal Massive Damage , But The Downside Are It Took A Lot Of Time To Ignite , Poor Throw Distances And Minimal Usefulness.

Why I Can’t Stick It With Tree Saps , God Knows Why.

It’s Only Useful As The Catapult’s Ammunitions In My Opinion.

Tier B Weapons

1. Flintlock Pistol :

This Tool Is Complicated To Craft Because You Essentially Have To Travel Around The Map To Find Their Parts.

Easy To Use , Hard To Master , 3 Shots At The Torso , One Potential Headshot.

The Downside Of This Weapon Are Limited Ammunition , Though You Can Spawn It By Saving And Respawn.

Other Than That , It’s Quite Loud , So You’ll Exposed Yourself For Them Cannibals.

Resource Consuming , From Batteries If You Combined It With Flashlight.

Slow Reload , You’ll Be Dead Before You Even Finish Reloading.

2. Slingshot :

Crap Damage Against Cannibals , I Only Use This If I Want To Piss Them Off Or To Bait Them Into
The Noose Trap , So I Can Torture Them Later.

But The Slingshot Is Very Excellent When It Comes To Hunting Small Animals Such As Squirrels , Rabbits , Birds And Lizards.

Plus , Their Ammunition Are Nearly Everywhere.

3. Weak Spear :

Cannot Block While Using This , Good Damage And Most Importantly EASY To Craft , Only 2 Sticks.

By Making A Spear Bag , You Could Carry 5 Of These.

Also It’s Quite OP Against Normal Cannibal As Long As It’s A 1V1 Situation , If A Whole Tribe Comes After Your Butt , Then Your Fogged.

4. Dynamite :

Deal A Good Amount Of Damage Though It’s Weaker Than Head Bomb.

Quite Easy To Find , It’s In The Cannibal Village , Modern Axe Spawn Location And Even In The Most Of The Caves.

But The Downside Is It Take Some Time To Ignite Because You’ll Need To Lit It With A Lighter , Which Is Crap.

Plus It Can’t Stick To Surfaces. This Explosives Is Vital For Logistics Purposes Such As Destroying Rocks That Blocked The Gun Parts And Even Cave Entrances , Try Not To Use It In Combat Situation.

5. Machete :

Good Speed , Good Damage.

Quite Easy To Get , It Spawn Inside A Helicopter Crash In The Sinkhole.

You Can Use The Turtle Shell To Get In There But Goodluck Getting Out Again Scrubs.

Tier A Weapons

1. Katana

Good Damage , Excellent Speed But Crap Block.

If You’re A Nimble , Fast And Hit-Run Type Of Player , Then Consider Using This As Your Main Weapon.

In My Opinion , This Is Number 1 Weapon In Popularity Because Each Time I Joined A Server , They Be Like ” hEy , LEts gO fINd kAtANa “

You Can Kill A Cannibal In About 6-8 Swings With Cost Of Nearly 60% Of Your Total Stamina.

2. Upgraded Spear :

The Weak Spear’s Powerful Big Brother , This Thing Deals Good Damage Although You Cannot Use This To Block.

Excellent Hunting Tool , Far More Better Than Weak Spear Itself.

This One Spawns At The Coastal Cannibal Village , Near The Hut’s Foundation.

3. Modern Axe :

It’s Quite Hard To Make A Choice Between This Or Rusty Axe , But I Hope I Make A Right Call.

This Thing Has Slightly More Damage Than Rusty Axe But It Far More Weaker When It Comes To Blocking When It Compared With Rusty Axe.

4. Crafted Bow :

A Must Have Weapon , Easy To Use , Easy To Craft.

Can Be Combined With A Flashlight , So I Could Be Operated During Night Times.

Super Excellent When It Comes To Hunting.

But I Suggest You Practice Shooting With A Target , So You’ll Become A Good-Eyed Hunter.

5. Crafted Club :

Decent Speed , But Good Damage Because It’s A Hard-Hitter Weapon.

Easy To Craft , Combine It With A Cloth To Get A Powerful Tribal Weapon.

Tier S Weapons

1. Rusty Axe :

Quite Challenging To Find It , But Once You Have It , Hoohooh Boy , IN ME POWER !

It Spawn Inside The Rebreather Cave , So It’s A One Way Journey.

Acceptable Speed , Excellent Damage , But The Real Catch Is It Offers 100% Chance To Block Enemy , So As Long As You’re Using This To Block Enemies Attack , You Are Invincible.

Perfect For Distracting Enemies As Your Other Team Members Can Pick Them Off Using Bows Or Spears.

2. Flare Gun :

Quite Easy To Find It , Travel Into The Snowy Region And Look For A Downed Cockpit , You’ll Find A Flaregun There Alongside The Pilot Uniform , My Favourite Attire.

Easy Way To Farm Flaregun Ammo Is Inside The Rebreather Cave , Make A Shelter There Then Proceed With Left-Respawn Technic.

Too OP Against Cannibal As The Flaregun Ammo Acts As A Burning Projectile.

Certified Weapon Of Choice Against Megan Cross ( The End Boss ).

3. Chainsaw :

I Changed My Mind , This Thing Will Rip And Tear Those Cannibals.

Although It’s A Fuel-Consuming , It’s Actually Quite Easy To Obtain , Just Look Into Rebreather Caves Near The Rusty Axe Spawn And The Cannibal Main Village.

Excellent When It’s Used For Logging , 3X Faster Than The Rusty Axe.

4. Incendiary Spear , Molotovs Also :

I’ve Include This Alongside Molotovs Because They Spend Same Damage When The Effects Are In Motion.

It Same Like A Normal Upgraded Spear But With Some Extra Spicy Feature.

Extremely Useful Against Mutants As They Were A Big Target.

5. Crossbow.

Quite Easy To Find , This Located At The Shipwreck Island Near The Sacrifice Tree Cliff.

Under The Shipwreck There Were Underwater Cave , So Consider Yourself A Rebreather First.

Slow Reload But Suprisingly Excellent Damage.

Literally 5-6 Shot To Kill A Cowman And Armsy.

Suitable For Camp Defense. Just Sit At A High Places Such As Towers Or Platforms Then You Are Set.

6. Explosives :

I Like To Call It C4 If You Don’t Mind.

Though It’s The Weakest Among Dynamites And Head Bombs , But It’s The Most Reliable.

Add It With A Tree Sap To Make A Sticky Bomb , Perfect For Precise Throwing And Hit-Run Combat.

You Can Also Plant It Near A Surface By Pressing C.

Quite Hard To Craft It But It’s Worth It.

A Deadly Armaments In Your Disposal.

In The Nutshell…

I Hope You Guyz Enjoyed And Feel Free To Provide Any Opinion In The Comments Below.
Goodluck And Welcome To The Forest.

If It’s Not Because Of This Ugly Child , I’ve Left The Peninsular Long Time Ago.

Don’t Copy My Name.

Onward To Tortuga.
