Two weapons that are useful in the first few levels of Bastion are the War Machete and the Breaker's Bow. The War Machete does well against enemies at close range and the Breaker's Bow can destroy two turrets with one shot. Get three Carrion Bones to upgrade your Repeater crossbow, this weapon is fast and deals more damage than the Breaker's Bow. If you equip the homing upgrade it always finds its target.
