Weapons play a major role in the fierce and violent universe of Overgrowth.

Dog Weapons

Polearms

Blades

Small Knife

This is a standard issue knife for dogs. It is not very useful as a throwing weapon but the weight and sturdiness of the knife make it more effective against armored targets.

Standard Sword

This sword is the standard sidearm for spear-wielding dog soldiers. The weapon is especially bulky so that it can cleave through the hafts of spears more easily.

Double-Handed Broadsword

This double-handed broadsword is used mostly by command units in dog war packs. This weapon is the most effective at lopping heads off of spears, but has a significant reach disadvantage.

Warhammers

Massive War hammer

This two-handed war hammer is unwieldy, but can cause catastrophic damage to even the most heavily armored opponents. This is the first clan specific weapon Aubrey has made for the dogs. Even though it may not be the most practical weapon, it is very commonly used by commanders of one of the dog clans because it is important to their clan identity.
