Two-handed melee specialists will fall in love with the Ice Gauntlet in New World PVP. The weapon scales off of your Intelligence stat, so be sure to load that up if you are wanting to try PVP.

This crowd control weapon can slow enemies, increase mana regeneration, and deal solid damage. The damage per second is extremely high, giving the Ice Gauntlet the power to keep you going in New World PVP.

Life Staff

I am convinced the life staff is the best leveling weapon in New World.Free heals, decent ranged dps, healing abilities/buffs make it a super powerful weapon. I'm getting one as fast as I can on launch, and sticking with it.

The Life Staff scales on Focus, so dump skill points into that. There are two skill trees. Healing and Protector are the paths you can take with Life Staffs in New World.

This is the support weapon of all support weapons. Life Staff users are necessary for PVP strategies. If you are a defensive player and want to support the main slayers of your guild, go with the Life Staff.

Rapier

The rapier parry is so much fun to use, it is really entertaining. What is your favorite weapon in New World?

In New World, Rapiers scale with Dexterity, but also benefit from points in Intelligence. They have two skill trees. Blood and Grace are both perfect for keeping up your stamina and dealing damage.

The Rapier can be used to stun opponents, reduce cooldowns of other abilities, perform high damage attacks, and keep enemies on their toes. This is the weapon you need if you want to overwhelm other players in PVP.

Bow

Many New World players want to get up close and personal to attack enemies in PVP. That leaves the Bow by the wayside. It is extremely underrated, but focusing on this ranged weapon can make a huge difference.

Being able to stay back and deal damage from afar is crucial in massive PVP battles. You are going to help your side by staying alive, hurting opponents, and having eyes on more of the battlefield from your location.
