While the game is undeniably cozy and an excellent way to unwind after work, that doesn't mean it's without its challenges. Throughout the surface of the game's island setting as well as within the depths of its subterranean biomes, players will come across several threats that will force them to fight back. The list below catalogs some of the best weapons players can find and craft when it comes to looking for a way to defend themselves.

The Croc Teeth Bat is far from being the best weapon in Dinkum, but it makes for an excellent early game choice. Acquirable after the players have used some of the game's basic weapons to start taking down the island's resident crocs, players won't have to wait to upgrade to the bat.

With a fast attack speed and decent damage, the Croc Teeth Bat helps make the island feel a little less dangerous. While it's not recommended to go hunting packs of Bush Devils with it, the bat will at least make players able to hold their own if trapped in a corner.

6 Spears

Useful In Every Form

Iron Spear	Crafting Table	1 x Palm Wood Plank 2 x Iron Bar
Copper Spear	Crafting Table	1 x Palm Wood Plank 2 x Copper Bar
Basic Spear	Crafting Table	1 x Gum Wood Plank 1 x Tin Bar

Spears are a weapon type in Dinkum that players will come across throughout the entirety of their playthrough. From early game to late game, when players' humble tents have turned into full-blown cities, Dinkum has something to offer the player.

While other weapon types are also persistent throughout Dinkum's playtime, spears always manage to stand out for the extra reach they grant players. With it, players can hop around their enemies more easily, avoiding getting too close and taking a potential hit.

The Bat Zapper is an unconventional weapon players can acquire after meeting Ted Selly, a nomadic NPC who will visit the island at random locations and offer players a number of the weapons on this list.

The Bat Zapper, as the name suggests, zaps bats. Well, it does a little more than that, as when players hold the weapon, it briefly stuns enemies around and instantly kills swarming bats. It's a feature that comes in especially handy when players are delving into places like the Deep Mine, where aggressive animals lurk in the dark and bats seem to attack every other second.

4 Star Sabre

Definitely Not A Lightsaber

Star Sabre	Ted Selly	2,000,000 Dinks 3 x Meteorite Chunk 1 x Perfect Ruby 1 x Perfect Emerald 1 x Perfect Aquamarine 8 x Bright Wire 8 x Iron Bar 5 x Berkonium Bar

The Star Sabre, which is definitely not related to a certain franchise about Wars in the Stars, is the most expensive weapon in the game. Costing millions of Dinks as well as a handful of gems and ore, the Star Sabre is not a weapon players will easily get their hands on.

Though some would argue that the weapon's absurd cost outweighs its utility, the Star Sabre is still a strong, fast-attacking weapon. Plus, it makes a cool sound when a player uses it, making up for the galactic dent in their pocket.

3 Battle Shovel

Stunning Whacks

The Battle Shovel is a reliable all-rounder of a weapon that players should use until they can get their hands on Dinkum's upper-tier weapons. Purchasable, again, from Ted Selly for a number of dinks and resources, the Battle Shovel is special as each of its attacks has a chance to stun enemies.

The shovel's fair price, good damage, and decent attack speed, on top of the added ability to stun, make hunting or fighting off enemies underground a much easier ordeal for the player.

2 Elemental Weapons

Ice, Fire, And Nature

Weapon	Source	Materials Needed
Ice Hammer	Ted Selly	400,000 Dinks 50 x Snow Ball 10 x Iron Bar 2 x Perfect Aquamarine
Plant Hammer	Dropped by Pincher Plants in Undergrove	N/A
Flame Spear	Found in red chests in Hot Hot Hot	N/A
Flaming Bat	Crafting Table	1 x Iron Bar 2 x Spinifex Resin 2 x Flame Sac 2 x Hard Wood Plank

Showing its more fantastical side once more, Dinkum also gives players access to a selection of elemental weapons and, like other weapon types in the game, has options that span different points in a gamer's playthrough.

The Flaming Bat, for example, is a fire-damage-dealing bat that can be crafted relatively early on as long as players focus on hunting Bush Devils for their flame sacs. While the Flame Spear is a more powerful source of fire damage, capable of even summoning lava, which players will find once they manage to gain access to the Hot Hot Hot level in the mine elevator. There are other weapons like the Ice Hammer, which - as one might guess - deals ice damage, and the Plant Hammer - an extremely rare weapon that can summon damaging vines when the player attacks.

1 Alpha Weapons

Best Of The Best

Weapon	Source	Materials Needed
Alpha Hammer	Ted Selly	400,000 Dinks 1 x Iron Hammer 2 x Alpha Antler 10 x Copper Ore 10 x Iron Ore 5 x Opal
Alpha Spear	Ted Selly	400,000 Dinks 1 x Iron Spear 2 x Alpha Scale 10 x Copper Ore 10 x Iron Ore 5 x Opal
Alpha Trident	Ted Selly	400,000 Dinks 1 x Iron Spear 3 x Alpha Shark Tooth 10 x Copper Ore 10 x Iron Ore 5 x Opal
Alpha Bat	Ted Selly	400,000 1 x Flaming Bat 2 x Alpha Eye 10 x Copper Ore 10 x Iron Ore 5 x Opal

Occupying the upper ladder of Dinkum's weapons are Alpha Weapons. Sold by Ted Selly, players can get their hands on these weapons in exchange for Alpha resources, trophies of sorts that are dropped by the island's Alpha variants of its inhabitants, as well as the typical dink and ore requirements.

The effort of hunting down Alphas as well as collecting the resources for an Alpha weapon is worth it, as each comes with its own special attacks and high damage output. Coming in four variants, deciding which weapon to acquire is dependent on player preference.
