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 with unique weapon sets, Dynasty Warriors: Origins simplifies things. You play as a single character who collects and switches between weapons. While you start with a sword, additional weapons are acquired by defeating specific enemy officers in various missions.

Here's a breakdown of how to obtain each weapon, though the exact order might vary based on which officers you defeat:

• Sword: Your starting weapon.
• Spear: Acquired after completing the Battle of Guangyang in Chapter 1 (requires purchase for story progression).
• Gauntlets: Defeat Zhou Cang during the Battle of Guangzong in Chapter 1.
• Wheels: Defeat Zhang Ju during 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 (multiple officers carry this weapon).
• Staff: Defeat an officer within a hidden treasure chamber accessed via a secret passage during the Assassination of Dong Zhuo in Chapter 2.
• Twin Pike: Defeat Zhang Liao during the Battle of Hulao Gate in Chapter 2.
• Lance: Defeat an officer wielding a Lance in the Battle of Xu Province. Note: The officer will be on the opposing side depending on whether you're allied with Cao Cao or Liu Bei.
• Crescent Blade: This weapon is unlocked sometime in Chapter 3 after aligning with a specific faction. The exact mission varies depending on your choices.
• Halberd (Final Weapon): This powerful weapon requires defeating Lu Bu at the Battle of Hulao Gate after completing the main campaign. This is a challenging but rewarding encounter.

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