Diablo 4 weapons offer variety and opportunity. Here’s everything we know so far ahead of Blizzard’s highly-anticipated RPG release.

Looking for a guide to all Diablo 4 weapons? Being a loot-driven action RPG is Diablo’s key strength. So, knowing about the weapons in the newest addition to the franchise is key. The weapons types in Diablo 4 are vast and whilst we await the arrival of the full game on June 6, we’ve gathered all the intel on weapons currently known from beta gameplay, developer updates from Blizzard, and more.

When it comes to which weapons you can use, it’s important to note that they’re specific to the Diablo 4 class type you choose. Take the Necromancer, for example. Whilst Diablo 4‘s Necromancer uses multi-class weapons like swords, daggers, wands, focuses, and shields, they are the only class that can use scythes.

We’ll be sure to keep the guide updated though, so bookmark this guide and check back on the game’s full release.

How to unlock weapons in Diablo 4?

As far as acquiring or unlocking weapons in Diablo 4, in true Diablo fashion, there’s a variety of ways to do this. Players can find weapons inside chests, such as Silent Chests, uncovered whilst exploring the expansive world and its many dungeons. They can also be purchased from merchants, crafted using various crafting materials, or obtained upon defeating various enemies or bosses.

Diablo 4 uses a random loot system based on previous games, meaning that what you acquire is based on a random generation. Blizzard has also confirmed that, much like Diablo 3, loot will be personal and smart, meaning it’s separated between players and there’s a higher percentage of drops specific to your class. Perfect for unlocking weapons that suit your strategy, class, and skill.
