When playing MMO games (or any game) that has a perk system, you can always expect some changes to be made on how perks work. It’s how developers balance out the game to make it fair for everyone involved. While some players who abuse the perks because they’re broken complain, you’ll get the other players being thankful that it is now balanced. In New World, there’s been a change with the Bane perk where it might or might not stack on the sword and shield weapons. But don’t worry, because we’ll answer that for you.
New World – Does Bane Stack on Sword & Shield?
After some extensive tests with Bane, it is safe to say that it does stack on the sword and shield weapons. There is a noticeable difference in damage numbers when you stack Bane, as well as using different types of shields. However, the difference does seem minimal at first glance, so it’s not surprising that most people would think that it does not stack.
