How To Unlock New Weapons In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the latest installment of the *Dynasty Warriors* series, *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, the gameplay mechanics have shifted from controlling multiple characters to focusing on a single character who can unlock and switch between various weapons. This guide will walk you through how to unlock each weapon in the game, enhancing your combat experience.

Where To Find New Weapons In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlike previous *Dynasty Warriors* games where weapons were character-specific, *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* streamlines the experience by allowing one character to wield a variety of weapons. Starting with just a sword, you can unlock additional weapons as you progress through the game by defeating specific enemy officers. Here's how you can acquire each of the nine weapons by the end of Chapter 3:

• Sword – Your starting weapon, available from the beginning of the game.
• Spear – Earned by completing the Battle of Guangyang in Chapter 1. You must 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 – During the Subjugation of the White Wave Bandits in Chapter 2, defeat any officer carrying the Podao.
• Staff – In the Assassination of Dong Zhuo mission in Chapter 2, find and defeat the officer in the treasure chamber accessible via a secret passage.
• Twin Pike – Defeat Zhang Liao in the Battle of Hulao Gate in Chapter 2.
• Lance – In the Battle of Xu Province, defeat an officer on the opposing side (depending on whether you side with Cao Cao or Liu Bei) who carries the Lance.
• Crescent Blade – This weapon becomes available in Chapter 3, depending on the faction you side with. You'll unlock it before completing the chapter, though the exact mission may vary due to branching paths.

There's also a tenth weapon, the Halberd, which is considered the best in the game. To unlock it, you must defeat Lu Bu at the Battle of Hulao Gate after completing the campaign. This is a challenging task, but the reward is well worth the effort.

By following this guide, you'll be able to unlock all the weapons in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* and enhance your gameplay significantly. The game is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, so dive in and start your journey to mastering all the weapons!
