In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, unlike its predecessors where players could embody a multitude of characters each wielding distinctive weapons, you take on the role of a single protagonist who can expand their arsenal as the game unfolds. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock each weapon in the game, ensuring you're fully equipped to conquer the battlefield.

Where To Find New Weapons In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the earlier *Dynasty Warriors* titles, weapons were intricately tied to specific characters, each boasting a unique set of moves tailored to their weapon of choice. *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* streamlines this concept by allowing you to play as one character who can freely switch between a variety of weapons as you progress.

Starting with a humble sword, you'll unlock additional weapons by completing missions and defeating particular enemy officers. You can acquire all nine main weapons before the end of Chapter 3, although the exact timing might shift based on the officers you defeat. Here's a detailed breakdown of how and when I unlocked each weapon:

• Sword – Your starting weapon.
• Spear – Unlocked after completing the Battle of Guangyang in Chapter 1. You need to purchase it to move forward in the story.
• Gauntlets – Defeat Zhou Cang during the Battle of Guangzong in Chapter 1.
• Wheels – Defeat Zhang Ju in the Suppression of You Province mission in Chapter 2.
• Podao – Available in the Subjugation of the White Wave Bandits in Chapter 2. Defeat any of the numerous officers carrying this weapon.
• Staff – Found in the Assassination of Dong Zhuo in Chapter 2. Look for an officer in a treasure chamber with a secret passage and defeat him to claim it.
• Twin Pike – Defeat Zhang Liao in the Battle of Hulao Gate in Chapter 2.
• Lance – During the Battle of Xu Province, defeat an officer on the opposing side, whether you side with Cao Cao or Liu Bei.
• Crescent Blade – Unlocked somewhere in Chapter 3, depending on the faction you align with. The branching missions make it difficult to pinpoint the exact mission, but rest assured, you'll acquire it before finishing the chapter.

The final weapon, the halberd, is a true challenge to unlock. Once you've completed the campaign, you must face Lu Bu at the Battle of Hulao Gate to earn what is widely regarded as the game's most powerful weapon.

That's your roadmap to unlocking every weapon in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*. Equip yourself wisely and dominate the battlefield!

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