The best V Rising weapons and how to get the unique reaper

Want to know what the best V Rising weapons are? There are seven different weapon types currently available in this vampire game, and while it's easy to say that the best ones are the ones with the largest stats, there's a little more to it. Every attack inflicts a proportion of your weapon's physical damage stat, we'll refer to this as 'physical damage' to avoid confusion. Therefore, the most crucial factor for any V Rising build is how much damage your weapon deals with per second.

To make the best V Rising weapons, you need to find materials from all around the game's map. Some advanced weapons require you to slay bosses to extract their V Blood, and perhaps even loot the desirable Orb of Knowledge from high-ranking enemies.

On top of all that, each weapon has two skills. The first one only appears after you equip copper tier weapons or higher, and the second while using iron tier weapons or above. Some skills are better for PvP combat, while others make short work of hordes of enemies in PvE. Depending on what V Rising servers you are playing on, you may have different priorities.

V Rising servers, server settings, and dedicated servers

Want to know more about V Rising servers? While the developers have finally enabled an early form of offline mode, the majority of the vampire games' vast playerbase are likely going to be playing on a server. There are many different ways to play the hit new survival game, so it's important to understand what your options are.

There are many different shapes and forms of V Rising servers - developer Stunlock Games has partnered with a third party company called GPORTAL to provide official servers, and you can also rent private servers through them as well. If you're setting up your own server, either for solo use or for you and your friends, there are over 60 different server settings you can tinker with, so it's handy to understand what they all do before you set your game up.

V Rising servers typically hold around 40 people, although we've seen some private servers hold more. The size of clans on these servers is typically capped at four, although this is also a setting you can change for private servers. There's plenty more to go over as well, so read on to find out everything you need to know about servers and multiplayer in V Rising.

V Rising players are calling for an arachnophobia mode to deal with its horrible spiders

Players of hit vamp ‘em up V Rising have taken to the game’s Discord server to request an anti-phobia mode to make some of its creatures easier on the eyes. It seems the offending boss in this particular instance is Ungora the Spider Queen, a high-level giant arachnid (the worst kind) who’s set up a fetching gothic domicile in the Cursed Forest’s Spider Cave. According to the mission summary for Ungola: “No living creature save for her children has ever entered and lived to tell the tale.” That’s enough to put anyone off.
