Hellpoint is a recent Souls-like that has become pretty popular. It is a sci-fi action-adventure game that focuses on unraveling the mysteries of cosmic gods. Like any Souls-like game, Hellpoint has a fair amount of weapons to try out and different builds that players can make to help them survive the enemy onslaughts.

While it offers fewer weapons than your typical Dark Souls game, each weapon has its own abilities that make them all unique. Which ones are the best though? Let's take a look at what makes some of them more amazing than others.
Updated July 12th, 2021, By Aden Carter: Hellpoint, unfortunately, hasn't received any new content since its release back in July of 2020. There have been quite a few interviews with the developers though that sound like DLC will be coming in the future. While the current status of DLCs is unknown, the studio's co-founder, Mathieu Boudreau, said that if the game performs well enough then there will be expansions coming. These expansions will offer new ways to play the game and keep players coming back for more. It would be nice to see additional weapons and armor in the game. After all, Hellpoint only has so much to offer in its current state and it is one of the better souls-like games that aren't from FromSoftware.
10 Column
- Conductor Effect: Equip a conductor to increase the weapon's potential
- Column Mastery: Increases damage with this weapon
The Column can be found extremely early on in the game and is perhaps one of the best strength weapons. It is slower to swing but deals massive damage to anyone unfortunate enough to come in contact with it.
The Column can be found near the first breach in the Arcology Underside. Simply go down the hallway and hang a left. You can receive mastery with the weapon as well as equip a conductor to it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have some of the potential that other weapons have, but it is in no way a bad weapon for how early you can get it.

The Officer Glaive is another earlier game weapon that has proven to be effective throughout the entire game. The Officer Glaive is located at the Observatory. There is a body next to the breach that has the weapon.
From its abilities, it gets better stagger chances, increased reach, and a powerful piercing attack that can be initiated at a distance. This weapon also increases the player's energy and is less likely to get deflected by shields. It comes in handy, especially during the early game.

The Thespian Mace has an appearance similar to the Column and packs a massive punch. While it doesn't offer the ability range that other weapons on the list do, it is well worth a try. With the bonus of a stun module, the Thespian Mace can easily stun lock enemies and make them easy to kill.

The Thespian Hook can easily tear through enemies. It should be noted that it has a weak leech, but that hardly matters with the right conductor on it. It can easily claw back the energy that players use on abilities.
