With the highly anticipated release of Amazon’s first MMO, New World, I have decided to put together some resources about the elements of the game that MGN was fortunate to get hands-on experience with during the closed beta, starting with the weapon mastery system.
I’ve covered every single weapon that is in the game, in terms of their statistical benefits, skills, passives, and augments, that are available for the weapon, as well as a little explanation around the weapon functions.
If you’re unfamiliar with the series or with how the weapon mastery system works in New World, the more that you use a weapon, the more proficient your character will become wielding it. As you hit certain leveling milestones with a weapon, you’ll be granted skill points that you can spend on a number of active skills from two trees, augments that will change how those skills function, and passives that change or improve how your character plays whilst wielding that weapon.
I’m going to put our links to all the weapons so that you can navigate to your favourite:
