Soulmask is a sandbox survival RPG that tasks you with base-building and tribal management. Combat comes hand in hand with most survival games, and Soulmask is no different. While the game has a unique mask element, where you gain powerful abilities, combat is still instrumental. One of the main features of this game is weapon mastery, combos, and a variety of playstyles.There are many kinds of weapons available in the game. Here is a tier list of the best weapons in Soulmask.

Weapons in Soulmask explained

Soulmask has multiple weapon types, and each can completely change how combat works for you. There are multiple melee and ranged weapons, each with strengths and weaknesses.

Some weapons:

Are heavier, which makes them slower
Ranged weapons are useful when you can fight from a distance
Some weapons allow you to use fast combo chains
Weapons work differently across PvE and PvP combat

It's important to understand which weapon works best for your build type, as the wrong one can lead to your death. If you have purchased Soulmask from LootBar or a similar marketplace, you can try the different weapons yourself.

Why weapons differ in PvE and PvP

The effectiveness of weapons in Soulmask depends on whether you are fighting AI enemies or other players. This is because the combat of other players is different from AI behavior. Most AI enemies are predictable, and you can learn their attacks, basing your response on what you notice. Human players are unpredictable and will attack differently. This makes guessing their next move or strategy difficult.

That's the reason why a few weapons like the Great Sword might seem to be really powerful in PvE combat due to their high damage, but when it comes to PvP, they might seem weak. Most of the time, other players will pick up close-range melee weapons which give them the opportunity to constantly attack you. Because of these differences, we are going to have two tier lists one for the best PvE weapons and the other for the best PvP weapons.

Tier system explained

The tier system categorizes weapons by their combat effectiveness levels. Put simply, the top weapons are determined mainly by how quick they are, how much damage they can do, and various other effects. Since PvE and PvP fighting are quite different in Soulmask, that's the reason why both types of fights have separate lists.

S-Tier weapons are the strongest, with either the highest damage, speed, or other elements. A-Tier weapons are good, but aren’t as effective as S-Tier weapons. B-Tier weapons are typically good for the early game but don’t scale so well as you progress.

Best PvE weapons in Soulmask

These are the best weapons that you can use against AI enemies, whether because they give AoE damage, are fast, or have strong damage output.

S-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Great Sword	High AoE damage Can clear enemy hordes faster Best weapon for raids Speed is slow, but offset by the serious damage output
Dual Blades	Very fast Good DPS Almost zero downtime Combos can make them especially useful

A-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Spear	Offers a great reach and safer combat Consistent damage Particularly useful against stronger enemies Lacks AoE or burst, making it A-Tier rather than S-Tier Still one of the strongest and safest PvE weapons
Gauntlets	Significantly close-range DPS Fast combo chains Best weapons for close-quarter fights
Great Bow	Ranged weapon Can attack from a distance with almost zero risk Can’t meet the damage output of melee weapons
Blade + Shield	This combo is more balanced The blade can be used for attacks, while the shield will protect you Good for new players, but lacks S-Tier potential

B-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Blade	Good early game weapon Decent damage output, but not high Weaker compared to higher-tier weapons
Hammer	Slow attack speed and recovery time Strong damage, but lacks the speed needed for most fights
Blowpipe	Useful if you use effects such as poison Damage output is low, making it a niche tool

Best PvP weapons in Soulmask

These are the best weapons that can be used against other players, as they are very fast, have high damage output, or allow you to put pressure on your opponent.

S-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Dual Blades	Best for fast back-to-back attacks High DPS Almost zero downtime Can use its speed to spam combos
Gauntlets	Great for close-quarter combat Can be used for fast combo chains

A-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Spear	Allows you to keep your distance from the enemy Good damage output Let’s you control the fight
Great Bow	Allows ranged attacks Best suited for applying pressure on opponents from a distance
Blade	Consistent damage Similar to a duelist weapon when fighting against other players Fails against Dual Blades burst

B-Tier weapons

Weapon	Description
Great Sword	Too heavy, which makes it slow Significant damage output, but recovery takes too long
Hammer	Speed is slow High risk when fighting against other players

Conclusion

PvE and PvP fights are substantially different in Soulmask, which is why both have individual tier lists. Fighting AI enemies with a slower but powerful weapon may make sense, but you will likely need to use speed when battling another player. These differences are how the tier list ranks each weapon, and you can easily select one or try a few before choosing which works for you. If you don’t already have the game, you can get the Soulmask Steam key from LootBar.
