See also: Damage

Weapons are Items used to fight, hunt and defend oneself from creatures in Don't Starve Together. Most weapons have a durability, limiting the number of times it can be used.

In the hostile wilderness, a player's bare hands won't stand up well to many of the hostile creatures found or be able to hunt very effectively, while running can get one safely out of harm's way at first, a player will need to start utilizing weapons for self-defense, hunting, and especially for the periodic Hound attacks, or other fast, persistent enemies.

Some characters have personal damage modifiers. Wes and Wendy deal normal damage × 0.75, Wigfrid deals normal damage × 1.25, Wolfgang deals normal damage × 0.50-2.00, and Wanda deals normal damage × 0.50-1.75 (depend on her age and weapon type). All characters' unarmed attacks deal 10 points of damage per hit, and can be executed only once every second while armed ones can be executed twice, making characters' unarmed attacks impractical for combat.

Any other item that equips to the hand slot, such as Umbrella, can be used to attack with the use of the Force Attack command/button, but will only do as much damage as an unarmed attack. Using items this way won't deplete the item's durability any more than holding it normally does.
