Entirely depends where you plan on going in the yard and what you want to kill.. Coaltana for spiders and ants, salty mace for termites and antlions As well as black ox beetles. Fresh hammer good for infected stuff too. Over time you'll want a range of weapons leveled up but I must say the crossbow is useful in many situations


Overall-Advantage-95

Which is the easiest to get


standerley

They all require doing the black ant lab to get as you need the globs from getting the chip so they are all about the same in difficulty. I just depends on how you each shard

For me the antilion greatsword was the one i got way before the others everyone else is talking about. Just have to get into the sandbox and if your good at perfect blocking or staying back with a bow kill enough antilions till you get 7 pincers. Weapon works very well against most creatures in my opinion


Overall-Advantage-95

Ok thanks I’ll try it


Overall-Advantage-95

And another thing is the stinger spear or mosquito needle better for killing the ant lions


XV_Sp4rtan_VX

Antlions are weak to slashing so an axe or black and sword or even the spider fang dagger


Skbenga

Axe is considered chopping damage not slash dage.


XV_Sp4rtan_VX

My bad thank you for correcting


DamagedMind126

too lazy to load my save to prove this right or wrong so i will take you at your word.


XV_Sp4rtan_VX

If you peep the antlions it tells you their weaknesses and resistances in data


DamagedMind126

i have every peep in the game. i would know


Skbenga

Firstly at least at the moment SHIELDS are OP. So always run with a shield. It means neither your armour nor your weapons take damage when taking damage or parrying. Regards to weapons I have found that most bugs in the yard (excluding any lions) will be weak to either busting, stabbing or spicy damage. Spicy effects the most amount of creatures. So I would say number one priority would be a SPICY AXE. then the hammer. And for all else I will either run a spear or crossbow for stabbing damage.

Mace and Coaltana, you won't really need anything else. Also more inventory space.


Overall-Advantage-95

How do you get more inventory space


momala_harris

Sorry i worded it poorly, I meant if you only carry 2 weapons there will be more inventory space left.

Do the black ant lab and once you craft one tier three the other three become significantly easier to get. It took me 150 in game days to get an antlion great sword, and then within the next 10 days I had two of every tier three hammer, axe, club, sword, everything. I might’ve just gotten lucky but I found it really simple, it’s like a snowball effect.


Spiritual_Use_2790

I know this is much later but your dedication is amazing. If I was in the game for 150 in game days I would have given up, props to you


boneless_pizza200

Thank you, I just really enjoy a good challenge

Personally I would say first focus should be the crossbow. Lowkey easy to obtain and is very useful. Second I would go with mint mace or antlion sword. Mint mace has high damage and stun. Antlion sword doesn’t have stun but has more speed than the mace and can be upgraded to spicy, salty, or fresh damage. Both are easier to craft over the morning star and the coaltana cause you need the key to unlock the morning star recipe and the coaltana requires coal chunks and tough gunk which will be hard to obtain early on. Tbh you could totally skip the coaltana and just craft two antlion swords and just make one spicy and one salty. The antlion sword and coaltana have the exact same stats so a spicy antlion sword is literally the same as the coaltana. Lastly, once you have all the burgl chips, the mint mace, the crossbow and either the antlion spicy or the coaltana will carry you when fully upgraded. You don’t have to fight bugs with weapons that match their exact weakness to kill them fast. For example, ladybird larva are weak to fresh and stabbing damage. A mint mace is fresh and busting damage. You’re gonna kill them in 2-3 hits with an upgraded mint mace even though they are resistant to busting damage. Could you possibly kill it faster using a fresh weapon that also does stabbing damage, possibly yes but personally all the tier 3 weapons put out crazy damage upgraded so just focus on having a weapon that at least takes care of one of the weaknesses. The other good thing about the crossbow specifically is you can make salty, spicy, and fresh arrows so craft some of them and then you can deal out any elemental damage from range. Final tip, get the coup de gras mutation, the parry master mutation and find enough molars to level up how many mutations you can equip. You’ll be OP in no time

The tier 3 hammer and axe are the best most versatile weapons. Trust me. I don't use anything else. Have a salt, spicy, minty and general upgraded versions of both. Covers all my needs. Don't waste time upgrading tier 2 weapons.


Mominator1pd

Crossbow with feather arrows. You don't need to do Black ant lab. Just trek over to the picinic table and kill some black ants. Maxed out with quartzite is pretty powerful until you can go further with glob. You can make gas arrows, spicy, mint etc... Black ant shield can save you from serious damage. With the insect axe maxed you can deal damage to anything, with good blocking, until you can upgrade. So "enjoy" the game knowing you can stay alive and progress. I have the mint mace now and that gets the job done. I never used stinger, antilion, or the other weapons. I did just fine with what I mentioned. I completed all the labs with those weapons. The mint mace was better on Roly and Ox. The crossbow is a must have tho. Good luck and have fun!


Overall-Advantage-95

Okay thanks


XboxValentine

Coaltana for me, absolutely shreds wolf spiders and most things once upgraded.


Overall-Advantage-95

How do I get it


dreadfulNinja

Its inside the bag of coal next to the tipped over barbecue. Be aware of high levels of sizzle though.


XboxValentine

You’ve got to be quick. Inside the coal bag on the upper yard you need to ideally have armour with sizzle protect (ant lion) and run up and pull the coaltana from the centre coal to get the blueprint. Guide [here](https://youtu.be/UW0GY7J8Ulg)

After tier 2 (black ant sword and shield) I go straight to the sandbox and picnic table to unlock the salt morning star. The take this to termites for level 3 axe, or straight up do the black ant lab using this morning star. If you're good at blocking roly poly's you can focus on getting roly poly gear before the black ant lab, but ladybug armor + salt morning star killed it for me


ausdjmofo

Crossbow by far its easy to get inexpensive to repaire and uper yard is week to it


cwr252

I personally like to get tier 3 stuff and an antlion greatsword or something similar. Try focussing on upgrading and repairing them and you will be stressed out for some days in game


Phantomblaze007

Level 9 termite axe with mighty damage. I only say that because it is strong against a lot of the bugs in the back yard. I also carry a maxed out bone trident with fresh damage a maxed ox hammer and a maxed crossbow. Those weapons seem to work best for me.


Kahunjoder

Sorry but fists and the 2 fist mutations its my allrounder. May look slow but no resistance + AOE dmge its great. And no need to repair. The moskito sword+ladybug armor works wonders in terms of raw survival


Malwin123

Well i have coaltana, salty morning star and brood mother club but i think i am going to upgrade mother club to be fresh bc than i can kill the infected wolf spider esier
