The Nighthaven update brought some changes to how Weapons scale with Attributes in New World Aeternum. How Weapons scale with Attributes has changed and Weapons that only scaled with one Attribute now scale with two Attributes. This guide will cover how the new Weapon Scaling works and details on how each Weapon Scales with Attributes.
Weapon Scaling Overview
Instead of weapons scaling to specific percentages, weapons are now divided into Tiers labelled with a letter.
- S Tier – 91%+
- A Tier – 81%+
- B Tier – 71%+
- C Tier – 61%+
- E Tier – 51%+
The default scaling for each tier is the middle point. For example all ‘S’ tier weapons will start out with their scaling at 95%. This should allow the developers to adjust scaling of weapons within the tier range as needed without having to move a weapon to a different tier.
Weapon Scaling listed by Attribute
The following tables show the Attribute Scaling Tiers and are categorised by each Attribute. Note Constitution does not scale with any Weapons, it is purely a Health Attribute.
