Conan Exiles Concept Art

Funcom has published three separate rounds of concept art to the Conan Exiles Facebook page, with this latest eye candy depicting some of the weapons we'll be wielding in the forthcoming, open world, and action-heavy RPG. Included among them are the hammer, dagger, axe, spear, crossbow, and shield:

The hammer is great for repairing broken structures and equipment, and can make for a decent makeshift weapon in case of emergencies. The pickaxe lets you very quickly break up big rocks so you can gather more resources.

Now the dagger is very special. This sacrificial knife is used to cut out the heart of your enemies so you can sacrifice it to Set, the serpent god.

...

Single handed axes are slower and heavier than swords, but deal much more damage to your opponents. They're also pretty awesome looking, if we're being completely honest. Very viking-y, and perfect for a Conan game.

Shields are for defense, obviously, but can also be used offensively by bashing your opponent with it and staggering them. Then you go in for the kill and cut off their heads.

...

Crossbows are easy to load and fire, and are great for blowing up explosive barrels or taking out enemies from a distance. The spear is a quick-jab, close combat weapon, for fast fighters who like to poke at their opponents and then retreat behind a shield.
