Baldur's Gate 3 is a game with a tremendous amount of weapons, both melee and ranged. Among the best melee weapons in the game are Pikes, which are wielded with two hands and deal Piercing damage. Pikes require characters to have Martial Proficiency to get the most out of them and the character's Strength modifier is added to the damage. Pikes also have extra reach over most other weapons, meaning that players can attack enemies who are 2.5m / 8ft away, an advantage that should not be overlooked
