About this converter
Grim Dawn lists base weapon damage as a range, so this page compares the top of each official range, from the Shiv at 15 to the Tarnished Carbine at 122. One handed starters cluster low: Shiv 15, Scrapmetal Razor 17, Splintered Club 20, Tarnished Mace 28, Spectral Longsword 29, Crude Mace 33 and Honed Longsword 39. Rare mid game weapons step up with Mutant Bludgeon 64, Manticore Longsword 75 and Kilrian Skullbreaker 78. Two handed rifles top the page with Fleshwarped Rifle 86 and Tarnished Carbine 122. Each entry note prints the full official range so the top value stays checkable.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try the Tarnished Carbine against the Shiv to see the full climb. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
The value shown is the top of the official base physical damage range, not an average and not a rolled drop. Elemental and bonus damage on top of physical, such as the aether line on the Fleshwarped Rifle, sit outside the compared number. Attack speed is listed in each context but does not enter the rows. Requirements are shown only where the wiki prints them. Omitted: epic and legendary weapons, whose affix rolls vary per drop and have no single base range.
FAQ
What hits hardest here?
The Tarnished Carbine at 122, from its 36-122 range. The Fleshwarped Rifle follows at 86.
Are these averages or maximums?
The top of the official base range. The Shiv reads 7-15, so the table uses 15. Each note prints the full range.
Why are no epics or legendaries listed?
Yes. Affix rolls change every drop, so only fixed base ranges appear here. That keeps every row checkable.
Does bonus elemental damage count?
No. Bonus elemental lines sit outside the compared number. Only base physical damage enters the rows.
