Lookup and field meanings
Veewo’s current Steam description illustrates bats or sabers for close combat, plant attacks, and dragon-like companions fighting for the player. A 1.0 recording by HeadClick Gaming describes one Legendary ranged weapon, called an origami crane by the narrator, as firing scattered paper. The detailed named examples below come from a guide that explicitly covered Early Access and predates Weapon Reforge; they are historical examples, not a confirmed 1.0 roster. Veewo’s press kit says 400+ items, while Game Rant reports 600+ new items. Neither number is a weapon count, and the sources do not establish a shared counting method or reconciled total.
Combat styles documented for 1.0
Veewo’s official Steam description gives broad examples rather than a complete taxonomy:
Swipe or scroll horizontally to read all columns.
| Official example | What the source says | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Bat or saber | Smash enemies at close range | An example, not a complete melee roster. |
| Plants | Plant-based attacks | No complete plant-weapon list or current stats are given. |
| Dragon-like companions | Command them to fight for you | A combat-style example, not an exact weapon damage or unlock claim. |
The official 1.0 notes also name JIMMY, NOISE, SALUTE and MIRA when describing fixes to projectile-count bonuses. This confirms those names occur in the 1.0 notes; it does not provide a full roster or explain each weapon’s behavior.
One weapon example from a 1.0 run
In a recording published on 2026-10-10, HeadClick Gaming calls one weapon Legendary and ranged, says it quickly fires scattered flying paper, and later calls it an origami crane. This is one narrated run, not a ranking or proof that the weapon always has the same affixes. The video also discusses level- and resource-dependent bonuses; this page does not turn those observations into guaranteed conditions.
Earlier named examples, kept in version
TheGamer’s weapon guide says the game was in Steam Early Access when it was written. It reports more than 100 unique weapons for that earlier build and describes examples including:
Swipe or scroll horizontally to read all columns.
| Early Access example | Type and reported behavior in that guide |
|---|---|
| 9th Color | Crystal-type; the article describes an empowered attack after each nine projectiles and stronger effects when Crystals are consumed. |
| Sunder | Wisp-type; the article describes a fast-firing weapon whose critical chance benefits from having Wisps. |
| Topspin | Hatchmon-type; the article describes tennis-ball projectiles gaining strength when hit or bounced from Hatchmon. |
These details explain the earlier guide’s categories but predate Weapon Reforge. They do not verify current 1.0 mechanics, unlock conditions or rankings.
Keep item counts and the affix rework separate
Veewo’s press kit promotes more than 400 items. Game Rant reports more than 600 new items and separately refers to returning favorites. These are differently worded item-count claims from different sources, with no shared counting method established in the records. Neither is a weapon count. TheGamer’s separate claim of more than 100 unique weapons belongs to its Early Access article and is not a verified 1.0 count.
Veewo’s March 5, 2026 Weapon Reforge announcement introduced fixed and dynamic affixes, Common through Legendary rarity, and Temper as an additional upgrade choice beside Artifact options. It says higher weapon levels increase the chance and potency of dynamic affixes. The October 8 1.0 notes describe further affix expansion and an Artisanism Faith rework in which badges provide a new affix after crafting. Older fixed-effect descriptions and unlock conditions therefore should not be read as a verified current weapon table.
