Two-Handed Weapons
Two-handed weapons — greatswords, spears, warhammers, halberds — carry the highest attack numbers in the game in exchange for slower swings, and they pair with wide crowd-control skills like Turning Slash and Charge. Because weapons cannot be upgraded in Crimson Desert, progression in this category is entirely about finding the next weapon: vendor pieces carry the early game, the Thalwynd Longsword is the best mid-game purchase, and the top end belongs to two epic story finds — the Absolute Justice Greatsword from an Abyss dungeon chest and Ignir, the Chapter 7 completion reward that tops the entire game's attack chart. Note that spears play differently from swords despite sharing the category: their kit is built around counterattacks.
Top Picks
A ghostly translucent spear with the highest base attack in the game at 27. Its unique effect fires damaging orbs on enemy finishers, but it cannot be upgraded or fitted with Abyss Gears.
A legendary two-handed weapon received as the culmination of Chapter 7. With 24 base attack and pre-equipped Destruction and Insight Abyss Gears, it is one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
A formidable banner pike taken from the Staglord. With 24 attack, it is one of the highest-damage spears in the game, capable of devastating charge attacks and wide sweeping strikes.
A massive greatsword that embodies absolute justice. Its extremely high attack power and wide sweeping strikes make it one of the best greatswords for clearing groups of enemies in the late game.
A brutal greathammer forged from materials found in the Bonepit. With 20 attack and a crit bonus, it hits extremely hard and can flatten most enemies in a few well-timed swings.
