Equipment and Weapons

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

Dog Weapons

Polearms

Spear

The normal dog soldier is often armed with a spear and sidearm. The spear would make an effective throwing weapon against lightly armored opponents. Dogs often fight against other dogs, and the longer weapons help keep their enemies out of biting range.

Glaive

The glaive is another standard armament for dog soldiers. It cannot be thrown like the spear, but it makes up for it by being better at slashing attacks. The prong on the handle can be used as a handle for extra leverage or to parry incoming strikes.

Rabbit Catcher

The rabbit catcher is a more unusual weapon. Although rabbits usually don't like to fight, it is not unheard of. This weapon is used to prevent rabbits from jumping over defensive fortifications or into the middle of troop formations. It's fearsome appearance is usually deterrent enough to prevent their enemies from even trying it.

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 I have 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.
