ARK Trader Rating

Against wildlife a shotgun is great. It has 300 dura which is like 300 shots I think and does alot of damage. But the ammo can be quite expensive. Longnecks are ok but really they need to be at least 150% dmg to be effective.

Which is better spear or halberd?

Both have their uses. Halberds are usually a higher-tier unit compared to spears, and can eventually supplant spears entirely, as AP starts becoming more valuable and shields somewhat less so as the game goes on. Cudgels usually have no AP. Swords and Axes are usually pretty much the same weapon, as far as I can tell.
