The hatchet is one of the best weapon choices for DPS builds in New World, but what combinations work the absolute best? Players can combine two weapons in any build, but only certain ones work well together. We’ll cover the best choice in secondary weapon and skill trees for a hatchet build.
The Hatchet & Great Axe Build
As both of these weapons are melee, they are both impacted by the Strength attribute. This makes Strength the perfect dump stat choice. For secondary attributes, drop some into Constitution and a little into Dexterity to boost the hatchet’s damage. With the Great Axe as the secondary weapon, this build will focus on more group damage and AOEs.
Berserker Skill Tree Choices:
The Hatchet & Life Staff Build
While the Life Staff is known to buff any weapon fairly well, it works particularly well with the Hatchet. In fact, it might be the bestLife Staff combination. This combination offers a good deal of damage with the DPS hatchet and a great support option with the healing Life Staff. Due to this, players should put the majority of their attribute points into Focus and Dexterity.
