Best OSRS Crush weapons, ranked, and how to get them

If you’re looking to quite literally crush your opponents in Old School RuneScape, you’re likely to be winging mauls, maces, and hammers. If you want to know the best crush weapons in OSRS, I’ve listed them below.  

Best OSRS crush weapons ranked

These are the best one and two-handed crush weapons to go for at the time of writing. Be prepared for a lot of grinding, or having a lot of gold, as these weapons (or the components required to make them) are generally rare drops. 

F2P: Hill Giant Club

The Hill Giant Club has to be mentioned here as, while weak in comparison to everything else on this list, it is the best crush weapon for F2P players. You’ll need 40 Attack to use it and it offers +65 Crush (Speed 3). To find one you’ll need to grind Hill Giants to get a Giant Key and then defeat Hill Titan Obor in its lair (it’s a rare drop). 

10. Granite Maul

This two-handed maul requires 50 Attack and Strength to wield and gives a solid +81 Crush (Speed 4). While seemingly slow it has a special Quick Smash attack that grants an instant hit, so if you time it well it is possible to land three hits in rapid succession. This is great in PVP to take opponents down quickly, but beyond this, it's not a well-loved weapon outside of its usefulness in the Nightmare Zone.    

9. Dragon Warhammer

Warhammers are generally seen as a weak alternative due to their low speed, but the Dragon Warhammer is worth having in your arsenal for special occasions, namely enemies with high defense. It requires 60 Attack to use and gives a solid +95 Crush but at Speed 4. Its advantage comes from its Smash special attack which does extra damage while reducing the opponent’s defense by 30 percent. 

8. Viggora's Chainmace

A little like the Granite Maul, Viggora’s Chainmace is a situational weapon that’s worth striving for if you intend to battle in the Wilderness. You’ll need 60 Attack to use it to get +67 Crush (Speed 6) but where it shines is when you charge it (with Revenant Ether) and use it in the Wilderness. This gives you a passive effect of +50 percent accuracy and damage, which makes it unstoppable. Outside of the Wilderness, it is still a solid weapon. Viggora’s Chainmace is a rare drop from Revenant monsters in the Revenant Caves.

7. Sarachnis Cudgel

The Sarachnis Cudgel requires 65 Attack to equip and is a nice upgrade from Viggora’s Chainmace, offering +70 Crush at Speed 4. It’s a rare drop from Sarachnis, a mini-boss in Forthos Dungeon. 

6. Ursine Chainmace

This is a direct upgrade from Viggora’s Chainmace (above), requiring 85 Smithing to make (you blend it with Claws of Callisto). It ups it to +71 Crush and adds the Bear Down special attack, which hits with bonus accuracy and a stunning DOT. You also keep its Wilderness bonus potential, but the requirement to use the mace is upped to 70 Attack. Claws of Callisto are a rare drop from Callisto in its den in the Wilderness.

5. Zamorakian Hasta

At first glance, the Zamorakian Hasta isn’t amazing with its +65 Crush with a requirement of Attack 70 but with Speed 6 it is the fastest hasta in the game. It's also a one-hander, allowing you to equip an item up your defense in your offhand. Plus, unlike other hastas, it doesn’t lose its defense bonus. It also has one of the best Stab bonuses in OSRS. The hasta is made by acquiring a Zamorakian Spear and getting Otto Godblessed to convert it to a hasta (for 300k). The spear is most commonly found as a rare drop from K’ril Tsutsaroth in the God Wars Dungeon.   

4. Verac’s Flail

This two-handed flail requires 70 Attack and +82 Crush at Speed 5. It comes into its own when you have the complete Defiled set, as you’ll have a 25 percent chance for hits to ignore defense and prayer. This makes it the perfect choice to use against any tanky opponents once you have the bonus. The defiled set is obtainable through the Barrows minigame and to wear the full set you’ll also need 70 Defence.

3. Inquisitor's Mace

The Inquisitor's Mace is the best one-handed crush weapon. It gives +95 Crush (Speed 4), as well as a +2 Prayer Bonus, but requires 80 Attack to wield. It's great for grinding, as you can train all combat stats while using it to crush, and it gains extra bonuses if you wear the Inquisitor’s Armor. It is a very rare drop from The Nightmare and Phosani’s Nightmare in Morytania’s Sisterhood Sanctuary. 

2. Elder Maul

On paper, the Elder Maul is number one for pure damage output. You’ll need 75 Attack and Strength to strap it on and it will give you +135 Crush (Speed 4). The Elder Maul can be found as boss loot in the Chambers of Xeric raid (2.38 percent chance). While it has the highest damage bonus in the game its slow speed means the Abyssal Bludgeon (below) has a higher DPS. Even so, many players will still use the Elder Maul against high-defense bosses because it has higher accuracy and a bigger punch when a hit lands. 

1. Abyssal Bludgeon

Once you’re nearing its skill requirements of 70 Attack and Strength, you’ll want to work towards getting the Abyssal Bludgeon. This two-handed crush weapon is created for you by the Overseer by giving them the Bludgeon Axon, Claw, and Spine. To get these components you’ll need to grind for them by defeating the Abyssal Sire at the Font of Consumption. Its one downside is that only aggressive attacks are available when you use it. But at +102 Crush (Speed 6), no one is complaining. That extra speed makes it the best crush weapon around.
