Weapons are pretty important in Vampyr. While you don’t exactly require the best-of-the-best weaponry to survive, it helps to collect a variety of tools to aid in your bloody trade. If you’ve been spending much time in London, you’ll quickly learn that there’s only a small selection of weapons in Vampyr, and getting them all is very possible — if you’re willing to get your hands dirty.
There are three types of weapons in Vampry; melee, off-hand, and ranged. Essentially, you’re looking for main weapons, secondary melee weapons, and pistols / shotguns. Each has its own category, and if you find them all, you’ll earn three completion achievements / trophies. Even if there are plenty of weapons, some of the early weapons you unlock are actually some of the best — Clay Cox’s simple handaxe is can be used for the entire game. Learn where to find every single weapon in Vampyr with the full list below.
