Weapons Guide:
————–
Written by JaredTriesGaming
One of the very first things you should do (Assuming, of course, you wish
to survive) is to determine what type of weapon you’re going to focus in.
This Guide will explain the different types of weapons and their strengths
and weakpoints.
-=Blunts=-
The weapon of guardsmen and bandits alike, this class of weapons will be
the most common weapon in [relatively] safe lands. They’re extremely cheap
to buy or craft, and they[With a couple of exceptions] solely deal blunt
damage, which is ideal for keeping a victim alive. However, blunts are also
[usually] crudes weapons; They tend to be heavier then blades of the same
size, and they are most commonly found in bad condition.
-=Sabres=-
The most common bladed weapon class, it is a large, heavy defensive weapon
type that inflicts a mix of blunt and cutting damage. Wary wanders and
guardsmen will tend to use these along with a blunt secondary.
-=Katanas=-
The most deadly of bladed weapons, these are offensive weapons. Their
lightweight nature requires dexterity to use effectively. Good quality
Katanas are hard to find and are extremely costly. However, low-grade
Katanas are reasonably priced and common.
-=Hackers=-
Hackers are axe-like blades, frequently encompassing a Clever-like shape.
They do just as much blunt damage as they do cutting damage, and it’s about
a spilt 50/50 chance if the victim dies of bleeding damage or survives.
These are rather uncommon, but they are brutal and useful for fighting,
assuming you don’t care about the fate of the victim.
-=Polearms=-
Probably the rarest weapon class, alongside the Heavy Weapons class,
Polearms are spear or glaive-bladed weapons[With the exception of the
staff]. Their long reach means they can go on the offensive against most
swords and blunts, and they handle exceptionally well against all sorts
of animals. Perfect for the average gate guard.
-=Heavy Weapons=-
These hulking piles of metal are extremely unwieldly for most everyone;
The pure weight and size of them means you’ll need both strength AND
dexerity to use them. However, a warrior who can wield one of these
monsters is a terrifying foe; Their damage[Some use cut, others blunt,
and even others both equally] is unmatched, and one swing with enough
force can take down a whole group.

Do you have a NASA computer but still have Kenshi crashing and instable frames?
Do you have a Coal Powered computer and struggle to run Kenshi? What about a
low framerate? Do you have screen tearing? If you anwsered yes in your mind to
at least one question, follow two easy methods further in this guide to have a
stable Kenshi experience.
You can choose a combination of those methods or only choose one method –
whichever works best for you.
-=Method 1: Display Settings=-
1.Right click on desktop.
2.Select 'Display Settings’ if on Windows 10.
Select 'Screen Resolution’ if on Windows 7.
3.Select 1066×768 under 'Resolution’.
4.Run Kenshi in windowed without borders at the launch menu.
In this resolution it will run just as in full screen.
Now your computer can display Kenshi with 20% more efficiency!
-=Method 2: Less Foliage and Rocks Mod=-
This mod removes much of the fauna in Kenshi. A lot of people miss the old
Kenshi build where most land was barren. Do you need extra frames or crashing
during gameplay? Want the old Kenshi feel back? Thanks to Ashlander001, this
mod is there waiting for you. The mod solely belongs to Ashalander001,
In my opinion it is one of the most useful mods so I’ve decided to share.
-=Method 3: No Shadows and V-Sync ON=-
The most common cause of frame problems and crashing in games generally are
the in-game shadows. It is the bane of most computers, no matter the specs.
Simply go to the settings panel in-game and lower the shadows to nil.
Having V-sync on is like telling your computer to run, walk, run, sprint,
repeatedly – it drives the computer insane. Just tell it to do jogging
instead by turning V-sync on.
