Best Weapons You Can Pick Up And Use In Indiana Jones And The Great Circle

Summary

• The Whip stuns enemies and disarms them, providing flexibility in combat.
• The Frying Pan offers quick strikes with a satisfying damage output.
• The Sledgehammer provides high damage, durability, and efficiency in combat.

While the character has always been associated with basically two weapons (three if one counts his fists), Indiana Jones is going to use a lot more than that as players adventure with him through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There are a lot of fascists out there who are going to try to stop him as he adventures across the globe. As such, Indy will have to look around the world to find items that can help him get the upper hand in a fight.

There will be a ton of objects littered around the levels of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that a player can pick up to use as a weapon, from massive hammers that can deck an enemy in one swing to smaller items that require a little more hits to knock them out. Each weapon has its own perks, but some are just better to use than others. Here are the best weapons that players can pick up and use in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

8 Whip

An Iconic Flair

• Easy to use and can help out in the middle of a fight
• An iconic weapon that helps the player feel like Indiana Jones

There are few things more synonymous with Indiana Jones than his trusty whip. This thing has been with him on every single adventure of his, helping him swing across chasms or knock a weapon out of his enemy’s hands. It only makes sense for the whip to also become a major part of this game that Indy can use at any moment.

Using the whip will momentarily stun an enemy, giving the player the time to move in close and start swinging with their fists or another weapon. It can also knock an enemy’s weapon out of their hands if they are holding one, including a gun. It may not actually damage a target, but it’s still well worth using.

7 Frying Pan

Deliver A Satisfying Thud

• Quick strikes that can also pack a punch
• Feels satisfying and comical to use

The Frying Pan can be found starting from the very beginning of the game as players explore the Vatican to uncover clues. It is a smaller weapon that allows Indy to deal quick strikes to his opponents in rapid succession. With this in-hand, the player can dish out the pain without the enemy being able to respond in time.

Even better, the frying pan is quick, but that doesn’t sacrifice much of the damage it can deal. Just as it would hurt to be hit with a cast-iron pan in real life, it is no different in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It can knock an enemy out with a satisfying – and funny – thud.

6 Sledgehammer

A One-Hit Wonder

• Can knock an enemy out in one swing
• Ends a fight before it even begins

The best part of using the hammer is that it feels like a cheat code. This massive weapon may take Indy some time to wind back, but once it connects with its target, they will be put out of commission pretty much immediately. It is one of the most powerful weapons that a player can pick up.

Furthermore, it has some great longevity. Whereas some other weapons will break after a swing or two, the hammer can last longer. This means that Indy can use it in more than one skirmish (as long as he has enough stamina).

5 Hammer

The Ol’ Reliable

• SImply and effective
• Found everywhere

Following up its big brother, the normal hammer provides some ample power with much faster hits. Being able to lash out in quick succession is always useful, and when it still delivers the damage needed, that just makes it even better.

It doesn’t have as much durability as the sledgehammer, but it can still last long enough to knock out a couple of enemies before needing to be replaced. This is well worth it for the benefits it provides.

4 Pickaxe

Slap Them Hard

• Another quick yet powerful option
• Great for any situation

The pickaxe is another option in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that players can use to deliver quick, efficient strikes to their opponents. It can keep an enemy on their heels completely as hit after hit is delivered. It is one of the best all-around weapons a person can find in the game and should not be passed over when happened upon.

It just delivers exactly what a player will be looking for in a weapon, as it can hold its own in just about any combat scenario. While it may not be the strongest weapon available, it is still one of the best. When Indy is busy fighting instead of solving puzzles, players can do a lot worse than this.

3 Guitar

A Musical Slam

• Not much is as entertaining as hearing the twang when it connects
• Deals fair damage

The guitar is not the strongest of weapons in the game, but it is absolutely one of the most entertaining to use. When Indy lands a hit with this instrument, there is a loud twang that players can hear, which makes it worth using every single time. It’s a simple reason to love this weapon, but once a player tries it, they will understand why using it is so fun.

The only issue is that it doesn’t do great damage. However, it does enough to make it worth using. In a one-on-one fight, it can easily help the player survive.

2 TNT

Make Them Go Boom

• A powerful weapon that Indy can use from a distance
• It should be self-explanatory

Most of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle‘s combat is focused on stealth, and only when things get out of hand will Indy have to go loud with his weapons. However, sometimes the best weapons are the ones that go loud right away, and that’s exactly what TNT does here.

Lighting a fuse and tossing the dynamite at an unsuspecting enemy can result in some of the funniest moments in the entire game. When used at the right time, it also makes the whole experience very cinematic, with Indy literally blowing away the surrounding threats.

1 Shovel

Bury Them With Great Damage

• One of the best damage outputs of any weapon
• Easy to find

The Shovel might be the best weapon that a player can find in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It has some of the best damage in the game and also comes with good durability, meaning that a player can deliver a good amount of hits before it breaks on them. It can knock enemies out with ease, something that only a few other weapons in the game can do.

On top of that, it also seems to be easier to find than other weapons like it. Players will likely find themselves being able to pick one up in multiple instances throughout their playthrough.
