New World: The Best Weapons That Scale With Strength
Rumors of the death of New World are greatly exaggerated, and the game has gone through some helpful changes since it was released in 2021. The basic premise of building a character based on Attribute scores remains the same, giving players as much freedom as possible when customizing their characters' class and professions.

There are five Attribute scores in New World, and they resemble the ability scores in other MMORPGs. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Focus are connected to weapon use, and Constitution determines a character's hit points.
There are no magical weapons that scale with Strength, so characters that rely on this Attribute are usually limited to physical damage.
Strength is an Attribute connected to melee damage and defender builds. A character with a high Strength Attribute score in New World is likely going to be wielding a combination of sword and shield or a big two-handed weapon.
Make the leveling process more efficient by choosing weapons with fewer Attribute points at lower levels. As a character levels up, the more Attribute points they accumulate, so characters often equip more complex weapons at higher levels and start with simple ones.
