The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Guide To Find Best Weapons and Armours

Three sets of weapons, Griffin, Feline and Ursin, are available.

If there's one great thing about the new Witcher 3, apart from its vast open-world landscape, it's the plethora of in-game weapons. But they won't be easy to acquire, for you can access them only after slaying bandits, exploring chests and crafting.

Now, you may not use every weapon that you pick on the battlefield and will probably end up selling most of them to rake in the moolah. So it makes sense to pick up everything that comes your way.

So, if you are looking forward to collect every weapon or armour in the world, here's a guide to update you on the range of weapons and places in the map to find them.
