How To Unlock New Weapons In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlocking Every Weapon in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlike previous Dynasty Warriors titles featuring multiple playable characters, each with unique weapons, Dynasty Warriors: Origins simplifies things. You play as a single character, progressively unlocking a diverse arsenal. Here's how to acquire each weapon:

The Weapon Acquisition Guide

While starting with a sword, additional weapons are earned by defeating specific enemy officers during missions. Ideally, all nine main weapons can be obtained before completing Chapter 3, though the exact timing depends on which officers you defeat. To ensure timely acquisition, follow this guide:

• Sword: Your starting weapon.
• Spear: Complete the Battle of Guangyang in Chapter 1. Purchase it for story progression.
• Gauntlets: Defeat Zhou Cang during the Battle of Guangzong in Chapter 1.
• Wheels: Defeat Zhang Ju in the Suppression of You Province in Chapter 2.
• Podao: Defeat any officer wielding a Podao during the Subjugation of the White Wave Bandits in Chapter 2.
• Staff: Locate an officer within a treasure chamber accessed via a secret passage during the Assassination of Dong Zhuo in Chapter 2.
• Twin Pike: Defeat Zhang Liao in the Battle of Hulao Gate in Chapter 2.
• Lance: Defeat an officer wielding a Lance in the Battle of Xu Province. Note: The officer's allegiance depends on your chosen faction (Cao Cao or Liu Bei).
• Crescent Blade: This is unlocked in Chapter 3, after aligning with a specific faction. The exact mission varies based on your choices.

The Ultimate Weapon: The Halberd

Beyond the nine main weapons, a powerful halberd awaits. To obtain it, you must defeat Lu Bu in the Battle of Hulao Gate after completing the main campaign. This challenging battle rewards you with arguably the game's best weapon.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
