Weapons are crucial in most action video games, like “Bloodborne.” In this game, weapons are used to provide the player with a wide range of attacking styles, stagger opponents, and so much more. If you are into playing “Bloodborne” and wondering what the most powerful weapons are, PVP Live has got you covered. Here are some of the best weapons in the game and how to get them.
1. Ludwig’s Holy Blade
Ludwig’s Holy Blade pertains to your one-handed sword, which you can fuse with the sheath on the hunter’s back, giving you a greatsword. This amazing weapon scales off of Skill, Strength, and heavily on Arcane. Versatile and valuable in most builds as a weapon early in the game, Ludwig’s Holy Blade can snowball later in the game, unleashing massive damage. You can also use its greatsword style to stagger a wide range of human-sized beasts.
How To Get Ludwig’s Holy Blade
You can buy this weapon from messengers after obtaining the Radiant Sword Hunter Badge from a chest located in the Healing Church Workshop. It costs 20,000 Blood Echoes.
2. Hunter Axe
Second on the list is the Hunter Axe. It is categorized as a Trick Weapon in “Bloodborne.” Specifically, this Trick Weapon can transform between an axe and an extended axe. Furthermore, it is the only starter weapon whose transformed mode is wielded with two hands.

You can buy the Hunter Axe from messengers, too, provided you have successfully acquired the Saw Hunter Badge from defeating a gigantic pig in Yharnam.
3. Rakuyo
Touted as one of the most stylish weapons in “Bloodborne,” the Rakuyo is terrific for those who want to make the most out of the high-octane combat of the game. The Rakuyo has two forms, both leaning toward quick strikes. When untransformed, this weapon becomes a one-handed sword that inflicts considerable damage.
How To Get The Rakuyo
This weapon gets dropped after you defeat one of the two Shark Giant enemies found at the bottom of a well in the Fishing Hamlet.
4. Kos Parasite
Like the Hunter Axe, Kos Parasite is also a Trick Weapon in the game. It has three versions, namely Normal, Uncanny, and Lost. Moreover, this weapon also transforms from a right-hand tentacle to dual-wield tentacles. Give it a try.

The Orphan of Kos drops this weapon after you defeat them.
5. Church Pick
Like the other “Bloodborne” weapons on this list, the Church Pick is also a Trick Weapon. In its normal form, it functions like a shortsword. Meanwhile, it acts like a war pick that has a somewhat medium range when it is in its trick form.

The hunter wearing the Yahar’Gul set in The Hunter’s Nightmare location drops this weapon.
6. Chikage
Also on the list of the best and most potent weapons in “Bloodborne” is the Chikage. In other lists, it is ranked number one. This weapon is very sophisticated when used. Similar to other weapons like Simon’s Bowlade, the Chikage encourages Hunters to switch between modes frequently. Plus, this weapon also scales very well off of Skill and Bloodtinge. But, be wary that the Chikage is a very demanding weapon to use. Once transformed, its blade starts siphoning health from its wielder. Nevertheless, the damage bonus that the transformed Chikage provides is fantastic.
How To Get The Chikage
You can buy the Chikage from messengers for 50,000 Blood Echoes, provided you are done joining the Cainhurst Vilebloods covenant.
7. Bloodletter
Wielded by Brador, the Bloodletter is also a Trick Weapon in “Bloodborne.” Like some of the others, it also has the Normal, Uncanny, and Lost versions. The Bloodletter transforms from a short one-handed mace to a massive two-handed bloody morning star, but at the price of its wielder’s health, just like the Chikage. And there’s another similarity: Bloodletter’s damage and scaling change to Bloodtinge when transformed.

After you defeat the Healing Church Assassin, Brador, he drops this weapon.
8. Beast Cutter
Dubbed as the Strength-scaling equivalent to the Threaded Cane, another weapon in “Bloodborne,” the Beast Cutter is a recommended alternative added in the “Bloodborne: The Old Hunters” DLC expansion. Similar to other powerful weapons in the game, the Beast Cutter unleashes the most superb crowd-control attacks. Additionally, it is also an interesting Trick Weapon that can swap between a one-handed cleaver-and-sword hybrid as well as a heavy whip. This is an excellent choice for players who prefer a more blunt approach to defeating the game’s enemy hordes.
How To Get The Beast Cutter
You can simply pick this weapon up from the spot nearby the entrance of the nightmare version of The Grand Cathedral.
9. Saw Cleaver
The Saw Cleaver is also a Trick Weapon in the game. It transforms between a saw and an extended cleaver as you use it. Also, it is one of the two choices for a Strength Weapon for players who are just starting off with a new character.
How To Get The Saw Cleaver
Aside from being a starting weapon, you may also buy the Saw Clever from messengers after you obtain the Saw Hunter Badge from defeating a sizable pig in Yharnam.
10. Logarius’ Wheel
Logarius’ Wheel is another great weapon in “Bloodborne” with regard to outlandish gimmicks. Its unique quirks will remind you of the Whirligig Saw, which is a fan favorite since this wheel can be devastating in certain situations. Built with a focus on Strength and Arcane, Logarius’ Wheel is a technical weapon. It can beat down foes when transformed but results in gradual HP loss. If you want to avoid this loss, it is recommended just to use its untransformed state.
How To Get Logarius’ Wheel
Purchase this weapon from the messengers after getting the Wheel Hunter Badge.
