Slayers 2 Weapons Guide

Weapon progression in Slayers 2 (Project Slayers 2) is more than buying the next shiny katana. After the September 18, 2026 Roblox launch, Slayer kits come from boss drops, open-world raid chests, crafts, and cash shops. This guide focuses on the human / Slayer weapon track: starter buys from Raze, the Rare Cutlass, Epic Spear, Legendary Shotgun, Gauntlet, and Tanto, plus special style katanas at the Yagane forge. Launch-week creator videos sometimes disagree on exact drop rates and chest labels, so treat rarity and location notes as the best corroborated picture and re-check in-client if a chest UI uses different wording.

If you are still finishing the first hour, pair this page with Getting Started so you have Wall Climb, a map book, and a Breathing Style before you farm high-tier raids. Codes like Release26 help pad early Wen — redeem on the Codes Hub before you dump cash into Black Market legendaries.

Starter katanas from Raze

Your first reliable weapon seller sits in the starter loop. Raze sells a Regular Katana for about 500 Wen and a Fancy Katana for about 1,500 Wen. Buy the Regular Katana as soon as bandit quests pay out; upgrade to Fancy when side quests and early farms refill your wallet. These blades will not compete with raid legendaries forever, but they carry you through Krue, Tom, and early horn grinding without waiting on a Rare boss drop. Do not skip Raze to “save Wen for Gauntlet” if you are still dying to starter packs — clear speed funds the later purchases faster than walking undergeared.

Every Slayer weapon showcase guide Slayers 2

Cutlass (Rare) — Starter Island / Kaiden boss

The Cutlass is the early Rare step many Slayers chase after Fancy Katana. Community routes place it as a drop from the Claw Ravager Kaiden fight in the Starter Island / Kaiden-area boss loop. Expect a Rare tag and a noticeable jump in reach or pressure versus the cheap Raze blades. Farm tips that stay consistent across launch guides:

• Finish enough early quests that the Kaiden fight is stable solo or in a small party.
• Learn the claw telegraphs before you grind for the drop; deaths burn more time than a few clean clears.
• Keep inventory space open so the Cutlass does not fail to land in a full bag.

If Kaiden’s loot table feels dry, remember Rare weapons can take multiple clears. Use the time to bank Wen and materials for later legendaries instead of rage-rerolling the server every wipe.

Spear (Epic) — Tier 2 raid chests

The Spear is listed as Epic and comes from Tier 2 raid chests tied to the Butterfly Mansion area raid circuit. This is an open-world raid chest farm, not the same thing as the later dungeon portal mode covered in Dungeons. Clear the Butterfly Mansion raid content, open the Tier 2 chests, and expect Spear to appear on that loot band. Bring a working Breathing Style and healing items — Epic farms punish underleveled runs harder than Kaiden. Cross-check your build notes on Slayer builds so your Breathing kit matches the raid’s spacing, not just open-world PvE.

Shotgun (Legendary) — craft at Blacksmith Togane

The Shotgun is a Legendary craft at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village. Creator guides emphasize that the schematic and materials include a Final Selection-related drop, and several strongly recommend securing the schematic before you finish Final Selection if the drop is quest-gated or easier mid-chain. Practical checklist:

1. Path toward Hidden Mist Village once your map tools are unlocked (see Lost Pages and travel tips).
2. Talk to Blacksmith Togane and confirm the Shotgun recipe requirements in the live UI.
3. Collect the schematic and listed mats — prioritize any Final Selection-linked piece early so you do not soft-lock the craft after the trial.
4. Craft only when you are ready to main the Shotgun; Legendary mats are expensive to waste on a curiosity swap.

For the trial itself, read Final Selection so your level, healing, and Hand Demon plan are ready before you divert for schematic farming.

Gauntlet (Legendary) — Black Market cash buy

The Gauntlet is the straightforward Legendary for players who would rather earn Wen than babysit a craft tree. Buy it from the Black Market NPC for about 100,000 Wen (often labeled Wen or Cash in UI). That price is mid-game money, not a first-hour impulse. Farm bandits, raids, and quest turn-ins; skip cosmetic sinks until the Gauntlet is paid for if that is your target. Confirm you are talking to the real Black Market vendor and not a decoy player stall. After purchase, test the moveset in a safe loop before taking it into Tier 3 raids or dungeon portals.

Tanto (Legendary) — Tier 3 raid chests

The Tanto is another Legendary, sourced from Tier 3 raid chests on the Snow Village raid line. Treat Tier 3 as a serious gear check: bring potions, a practiced Breathing kit, and preferably a party. Like the Spear, this is open-world raid chest loot — different from the forge-gated dungeon portal discussed on the Dungeons page. If Snow Village chests are not dropping Tanto after several clears, verify you are opening Tier 3 specifically rather than leftover Tier 1 or Tier 2 chests on the same route.

Yagane forge — special style katanas and Crude Iron

Beyond the named Special weapons, Yagane forges special style katanas that use Crude Iron tied to Final Selection. Plan Final Selection not only for Mizunoto rank and Corps gear, but also for the Crude Iron pipeline if you want those style blades. Talk to Yagane after you understand which Breathing Style you are committing to — forging the wrong flavor of katana wastes iron you may not want to farm again immediately. Trainer routes that feed your style choice live in Breathing Trainer Locations.

Suggested acquisition order

1. Raze Regular → Fancy Katana while you clear early quests.
2. Cutlass from Claw Ravager Kaiden when the boss is comfortable.
3. Spear from Butterfly Mansion Tier 2 raid chests.
4. Decide between Shotgun craft (Togane + Final Selection mats), Gauntlet (100k Wen), and Tanto (Snow Village Tier 3) based on playstyle and economy.
5. Feed Yagane with Crude Iron for style katanas once Final Selection is done or mid-chain schematic goals are secure.

How weapons fit builds and rankings

Weapons multiply your Breathing Style; they do not replace it. A Spear with a mismatched style still loses to a Fancy Katana in skilled hands. Use the Tier List Hub for style rankings and Slayer builds for loadout philosophy. Keep redeeming live codes so Spins and Wen buffer expensive buys. When dungeon portal mode is unlocked, expect another gear layer — but do not confuse those rewards with the Tier 1 starter / Tier 2 Butterfly / Tier 3 Snow raid chests that feed Cutlass-adjacent progression, Spear, and Tanto today.

Launch-week uncertainty to watch

Drop rates, exact chest names, and whether Shotgun schematic timing is soft or hard can shift between creator videos. If a chest UI says something other than “Tier 2” or “Tier 3,” trust the client and match the region (Butterfly vs Snow). If Togane’s recipe list differs from this page after a patch, follow the live recipe. Revisit this guide after major updates and cross-check Final Selection whenever Crude Iron or schematic steps move.

Master Raze first, then climb Rare → Epic → Legendary through Kaiden, Butterfly chests, Togane, Black Market, and Snow chests. That ladder, plus Yagane’s style forges, is the Slayer weapon spine for launch-week Slayers 2.
