Top 10 Dinkum Best Weapons
Like other survival games, Dinkum features some hunting, and it contains weapons you'll need to use for both hunting and self-defense against hostile creatures. As almost all of the weapons in the game require crafting, levels for hunting with obtainable licenses 1 through 3 are introduced. Various recipes for enhancing the earlier weapons become accessible as you progress through the game and come across tougher animals. These improvements are incredibly beneficial and truly necessary. This guide goes into great depth about the best weapons to use early on and the best weapons to use later on.
