Weapons

Beatdown, on top of its many fighting styles and variations, has a variety of weapons and weapons styles to choose from. Although weapons have generally higher attack power than normal attacks they also suffer from other weak points. Some characters can perform special combos or attacks with weapons of a particular type, while others are just good with weapons overall. Weapon Masters usually excel in use of most weapons, possessing the ability to do something different with them. Every character has at least some basic knowledge of every weapon type and can always perform a basic combo. Weapons are categorized into different groups that determine their attack animations, recovery, charge and frame data while damage is determined separately. All default weapon combos have generally unfavorable frame rates and recovery.

Bladed Weapons
Bladed Weapons are quite useful for their inability to break unlike most strong weapons. Bladed Weapons are generally weak unless used by a main character with a high Attack stat, but even so, there are better alternatives in which to choose for equipping a main character. Eugene, Tracy, Gina and Thrasher have unique abilities while holding Bladed Weapons, as well as most Weapon Masters. The 4th hit in the basic Bladed Weapon combo doesn't connect with the 3rd and shouldn't be used.
