Tribes of Midgard gives players a variety of weapons to choose from while they work to delay Ragnorok. Players can choose between bows, swords, axes, and hammers when building their ideal Viking hero. Picking a weapon of choice is essential to survival within the game.
Players will have to make sure they upgrade the weaponsmith's shop to unlock more than the standard villager weapon sets. The weapons in Tribes of Midgard can deal large amounts of damage, which increases when paired with armor sets that boost elemental effects. However, on their own, some weapons are powerful enough to make players forego armor.
Updated May 22nd, 2022 by Camisha Pisenti: In the second season of Tribes of Midgard players will race against the clock to defeat Jormungandr. The Serpent Saga introduces several new enemies and a new area to explore and defend from Jotun.
