Baldur's Gate 3 released Patch 8 as a final send-off for the game, bringing a last touch-up and a few new features, including Photo Mode and 12 new Subclasses for players to enjoy. Players looking to jump into one of these new class options will likely already be aware that the better synergized your Class, Feat, equipment, and Spell selections are, the more efficient your build will be as you progress through the game.

With every new Class gaining a new Subclass following the Patch 8 update, there are plenty of new build options for players to explore. As expected, when opting to try and create one of these builds, there are endless options when it comes to equipment such as armor, accessories, and weapon choice. If you're looking for some indicators on the best weapon types for each Patch 8 Subclass in Baldur's Gate 3 and some of the strongest options for that weapon type, all relevant information has been outlined in the guide below.
