In the current Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts in OSRS, weight matters a lot. This is because one of the Demonic Pacts nodes provides a special effect for light weapons in which there’s an additional melee hit that uses 40% of your base max hit for all OSRS melee weapons under 1 KG. You can now see why players are suddenly interested in weapons under 1 KG. Let’s look at these lightweight weapons and see what the best choices are.
OSRS Melee Weapons Under 1KG
The defining mechanic of Demonic Pacts light weapons is that melee weapons under 1 KG always gain tick rate reductions, which means faster attacks. Plus, they gain an extra hit that deals 40% of your base max hit, with a minimum of 1.
However, this effect does not activate during special attacks. This makes sub-1 KG weapons the best choice for consistent DPS. So basically, weapons under 1 KG plus that extra 40% hit effect.

Here’s the list of melee weapons under 1 KG:
- Abyssal whip (hands down the best one-handed weapon under 1 KG in this League)
- Most daggers (including Dragon Dagger, Abyssal Dagger, and Cerb Dagger)
- Dragon claws
- Crystal axe
- Bone club
- Ancient crozier
- Black pickaxe
- Blisterwood flail (and all other flails)
- Sarachnis cudgel
- Emberlight
There’s also the 3rd Age Longsword that weighs exactly 1 KG. However, it’s treated as a heavy weapon.
At the end of the day, weapons under 1 KG are extremely limited and they mainly include whips, daggers, claws, and a few niche weapons.
