Which weapons were your favourite in the New World Beta and why? Take part in our poll!
After two weeks, the New World Beta ended on 3 August 2021. Even though the release was postponed by a month shortly after the end of the beta and the opinions on the MMO from Amazon are quite mixed, we would like to clarify at least one topic: Which weapons are your favourites?
You can choose from the eleven different playable weapons from the beta: from the axe to the mighty fire stick, all categories are represented. Since you are not bound to a class in the MMO and can carry two weapons at the same time, you can also put two crosses in our poll.
Which weapons do you prefer to use in New World?
– Axe
– Bow
– Ice gauntlets
– Fire Stick
– Warhammer
– Staff of Life
– Musket
– Rapier
– Sword and shield
– Spear
– Battle Axe
How good are the combat system and weapons?
The combat system in New World is not reminiscent of a classic MMO, but requires timing and practice: enemy attacks can be parried and you yourself can defeat enemies with light or heavy attacks.
How different the opinions are on weapons and the combat system is clearly shown in the editorial team:
the combat system and the number of weapons, on the other hand, do not play a role.
