This is our Wayfinder weapons guide. We’ll list all known normal and signature weapons currently in the game. More will be added as they’re found.
Wayfinders, the courageous champions of the realm, are known for their unique abilities and adaptive playstyle. But what truly shapes the contours of their combat approach are the weapons they wield.
From the defensive finesse of Sword & Shields to the raw damage potential of Executioner’s melee weapons, each weapon class offers a distinct playstyle. Coupled with a Wayfinder’s abilities, these weapons breathe life into the dynamic world of combat.
The Role of Weapons in a Wayfinder’s Journey
The choice of a weapon is not merely an aesthetic or preferential decision for a Wayfinder. It’s a strategic choice that impacts their combat tactics, role, and overall playstyle. Every weapon comes with its own Weapon Ability, which adds another layer of depth to its functionality. This means that while you might be a Wayfinder with a specific set of abilities, your weapon could add a completely new dimension to your combat style.
Weapons also come with their own set of statistics, which are conferred to the Wayfinder wielding them. Just like a Wayfinder levels up through the thrill of combat, so do their weapons. As a weapon gains experience, its level and stat bonuses increase, enhancing its effectiveness in battle. Moreover, weapons can be tempered with specific materials, nudging their bonuses upward.
Each Wayfinder also has a Signature Weapon, a weapon that seamlessly integrates with their kit. These weapons are not necessarily stronger or more powerful, but they harmonize with a Wayfinder’s unique abilities, creating a symphony of combat prowess.
