This reference describes ten base weapons recorded in the supplied Vampire Survivors Weapons passage. Their attack patterns include horizontal and directional strikes, nearest-target attacks, orbiting, bouncing projectiles, and damaging zones. Each entry includes the recorded weapon behavior or stat interactions and its listed evolution recipe. The Evolution passage explains the usual role of a counterpart passive item, weapon levels, and a Treasure Chest in obtaining an evolution, while noting that requirements and chest eligibility vary. These are factual descriptions, not effectiveness comparisons or an optimal build guide. The supplied passages do not independently verify a particular game version or whether every detail reflects the latest release.
To compare recorded patterns, start with Whip’s horizontal attacks, Magic Wand’s nearest-target shots, Knife’s directional fire, King Bible’s orbit, and Santa Water’s damaging zones.
