CODE VEIN – Weapons and Blood Veils Breakdown Guide

This guide provides information about every weapon and blood veil in the game. It should be useful to players who are trying to find the right equipment for their playstyle and boss fight. This guide will focus primarily on offensive stats and not the defensive. They say that the best defense is an offense.

Overview of Weapons

For the purposes of these comparison tables, base weapon stats will be assumed. +10 upgrades without reinforcement will always increase the base damage by double.

It is important to remember that weapons belonging to the same category may have different damage values. Different weapons have different attack animations, so they may deal damage faster or slower. Some weapons might also be heavier than others, which could limit your setup. They may also offer an additional buff when you use their charged strong attack. These are just a few of the things you should keep in mind. Make sure you test them to find out how they perform in practice.

You should take the damage stats for bayonets with a grain. Although it accurately depicts their melee damage, each bayonet’s damage multipliers are different and can appear deceivingly low at a glance.

Blood Veils Overview

The comparison tables assume that base blood veil stats have been assumed. +10 upgrades will always double your base gifts stats without reinforcement. Some stats of the blood veil have been removed because they only affect drain attacks and not weapon damage.

The four blood veils are used to parry: Ogre > Hound> Ivy> Stinger.

 

They get an extended parry window and a greater reach for their drain attacks.
