NARAKA: BLADEPOINT News

The best weapons in Naraka Bladepoint

Want to know what the best weapons are in Naraka Bladepoint? Unlike some battle royale games which can feature over 100 different weapons, Naraka Bladepoint focuses on just nine melee and ranged weapons. It's important to try out every weapon first to establish which suits your playstyle best - each weapon has been carefully designed to offer a unique fighting style.

When paired with one of the best characters in Naraka Bladepoint, you can create a lethal combination capable of winning any match. Your weapon of choice will depend on the type of mode you play (solos, duos, or trios), as certain weapons perform better when fighting against multiple enemies. For example, ranged weapons are useful when battling in groups as you have more time to line up the perfect shot.

Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon will improve your decision making skills in-game. Once you know which attacks you can safely punish, taking out enemies will be a breeze. With enough practice and knowledge, you should be able to start racking up wins in no time.

How to customise your character in Naraka Bladepoint

Want to know how to customise your Naraka Bladepoint character? Naraka Bladepoint is a third person battle royale game based around executing precise combos in order to best your foes. Players choose from a roster of powerful warriors before heading into battle - either solo or as part of a team - and must grapple, dodge, and slice their way to victory.

These Naraka Bladepoint characters all have their own distinct gameplay and abilities, but players are able to customise their faces in order to make them look completely unique. There are also unlockable outfits, or skins, for each playable character, so even though your Tarka Ji or Kurumi is instantly recognisable by their silhouette and fighting style, there's still a chance to flex your creativity and make your character stand out.

The character creator is pretty impressive, allowing you precise control over each aspect of your character's face, and even has tools to create asymmetrical looks. It also generates a face from any photo you give it, so if you've always dreamed of samurai glory, this might be your lucky day. Here's how to customise your Naraka Bladepoint character.

Naraka: Bladepoint is pretty fun once you escape bot purgatory

When my Naraka: Bladepoint playtime was still within Steam's two hour easy refund window, I was not having fun. Martial arts battle royale is a great idea, but I was disappointed by the execution from Hangzhou-based studio 24 Entertainment. The progression and monetization systems look like a lot of work to unpack, the English localization is sloppy, and your first match is against bots who behave more like dust particles caught in air currents than players. It seemed pretty bad...
