Here is a detailed explanation of all the best weapons in 99 Nights in the Forest:

• Admin Axe/Admin Gun/Friendly Gun: These weapons only appear during the developer events. Admin Axe can one-shot any enemy, while the guns have no recharge time.
• Cultist King Mace: Dropped by the Cultist King, this is a melee weapon with slightly higher damage than the Morningstar, capable of two-shotting wolves.
• Poison Spear: It has a better range than axes and applies poison with each hit. The poison slowly chips away at the enemy's health.
• Laser Cannon: Requires half of the user's alien tech energy. However, it possesses a high range and can kill bears with just three hits.
• Morningstar: This is the third most powerful melee weapon after the Admin Axe and the Cultist King Mace. It deals 70 damage with each hit.
• Tactical Shotgun: This weapon is a monster when fired after getting close to an enemy.
• Infernal Crossbow: Does better damage than the regular Crossbow and sets enemies ablaze. Moreover, it has unlimited ammunition.
• Infernal Sword: Applies burn to enemies with every hit. Additionally, creatures slain by this sword automatically turn into Cooked Morsel or Cooked Meat.
• Obsidiron Hammer: Deals high damage and creates explosions around the player. It has a good swing rate similar to that of the Morningstar.

You can carry multiple weapons, which aren't lost after an initial death during a playthrough. Thus, by using a revive, you retain all weapons.
