If you're uncertain about which weapon to choose in Dragon's Dogma 2, don't worry! The game offers a wide array of weapon types to suit your playstyle, and you have the flexibility to switch your vocation at any point to try out different weapons and vocations.
What Are the Weapon Types in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Dragon's Dogma 2 features a total of 12 distinct weapon types. Most of these weapons are exclusive to specific vocations, meaning you can only use them if you are using that vocation. However, if you're interested in a weapon but not in its corresponding vocation, you can assign it to your main Pawn by changing their vocation, allowing you to see the weapon in use.
Here are the weapons and the vocations they are assigned to.
| Weapon Type | Vocation |
|---|---|
| Archistaves | Sorcerer |
| Bows | Archer |
| Censers | Trickster |
| Daggers | Thief |
| Duospears | Mystic Spearhand |
| Greatswords | Warrior |
| Hammers | Warrior |
| Maces | Fighter |
| Magickal Bows | Magickal Archer |
| Shields | Fighter |
| Staves | Mage |
| Swords | Fighter |
While most classes only have one weapon proficiency, the Warrior and Fighter both have two weapon proficiencies to choose from. If you plan on making a Fighter Arisen or main Pawn, it means that you have a little bit more variation in what style of Fighter you want to have on your team.
All of these weapon types have certain weapons that are significantly better than others and also have specific skills tied to that weapon type. If you want to use a weapon that isn’t used by your vocation, you can make your way to the vocation guild, where you can change your vocation and experiment with some of the other weapons available.
This covers all the weapon types found in Dragon's Dogma 2, along with the corresponding vocations for each weapon type.
