A deep medieval arsenal

More than 26 weapons, custom movesets, an immersive crafting loop, shields, loot, and a freemium collection designed around choice rather than power.

Free

Base arsenal & systems

Hover or focus a feature to explore

26+ base weapons

One-handed, two-handed, ranged, utility, and intentionally silly weapons support very different combat styles.

Greatswords, maces, axes, bows, crossbows, brawling weapons, a frying pan, a handheld salmon, and more—many with unique attacks or animations.

Custom movesets

Two-handed weapons use special secondary attacks, while one-handed weapons support a dynamic combo system.

Weapons can be inspected with reload, some attacks change while aiming, and supported accessories can alter how a weapon behaves.

Immersive crafting loop

Gather hardwood, refine steel, prepare leather, and craft components through dedicated blacksmith structures.

The anvil, Blacksmith's Furnace, and Tanning Rack each use physical interactions such as striking, bellowing, and preparing hides.

World loot & blood

Higher-tier supply crates can contain weapons, blueprints, resources, scrap, and rare cosmetic loot bags.

Weapons become bloodied during combat and can be cleaned with reload; low-health survivors also leave visible blood effects.

Premium

Premium crafting & cosmetics

Hover or focus a feature to explore

Premium skins & weapons

Premium members can craft selected flashy weapons and cosmetic skins without receiving a combat advantage.

Everyone can use premium weapons and skins once obtained; Premium controls who can craft them, not who can equip them.

Exclusive skin boxes

Premium users can open special skin boxes for unique, non-craftable appearances.

These rewards focus on visual variety and complement the wider arsenal without replacing the base progression.

Getting started

Build the workshop, prepare the new resources, and use the anvil to create the arsenal.

01

Build the workshop

Place the Cliffan Weapons Anvil, Blacksmith's Furnace, and Tanning Rack.

02

Prepare wood and steel

Harvest hardwood from trees, cure it in the furnace, and refine steel ingots. Ingots left in the furnace become heated steel.

03

Tan leather

Turn five hide into rawhide at the Tanning Rack, then combine it with oil to create tanned leather.

04

Forge your weapon

Craft components and weapons in the anvil, then strike the hammer interaction to complete the work.

Everyone can use skins and weapons. Only Premium members can craft the selected Premium skins and weapons.
