According to the Steam store page there are more than 50 melee weapons and more than 20 types of throwing weapons. No official list exists, so the tables below come from players. Power and speed are taken from the in-game item screen as transcribed in Digitol's 100% guide; where Мохич's Russian weapons guide gives the same number, we treat it as confirmed. Numbers that appear in only one guide are marked with an asterisk (*).
Locations assume you follow the walkthrough. Shop prices are in Ancient Coins at Umbada's shop, which opens after the first boss.

Which weapons come later in the game?
Players also mention high-tech weapons from the Ancient World and later areas, including the Iron Fist, Hempie's SVT 38 (a gun), a Plasma Spear and a Shock Rifle. Their stats and locations are not well documented yet, so they are to be confirmed. Kripsu's video puts the Plasma Spear at power 10, fast, using cell energy.
Which weapon should you use?
Match the damage type to the enemy: early skeletons are weak to Impact, Chickets and Chilopoda to Pierce, Ratty Bugs to Slash. Keep at least one weapon of each type with you. For picks based on damage numbers, see Best weapons; for what the rusted weapons turn into, see Weapon evolution.
