The announcement and store wording describe the arsenal; GamesDB counts its own entries; our numbers count map markers from the All Things How snapshot. These units are not interchangeable. A broader lower bound and a specific announcement can coexist. Different lists may also handle transformed equipment differently; do not add these figures into an official total or a completion percentage.

Primary weapons vs. Phantom Edges

Primary weapons are your main offensive equipment. Phantom Edges are the separate secondary category, with combat utility and, for some equipment, exploration uses. A list that combines both categories is measuring something different from a primary-weapons list.

Upgrading a weapon and choosing where to invest

S-GAME describes upgrades and material recovery through reforging. That confirms the system, not every cost or recipe in your installed version. Before spending, compare the current and next-level equipment panels and read the confirmation message.

Separate three decisions: acquiring an item, investing upgrade materials, and resetting that investment. A location marker helps with the first; it does not establish the upgrade price or whether a later reset needs a consumable. This overview does not offer an unverified best-weapon tier list.

Refunds, level 10 and Reforge Talismans

Community guides disagree at the boundary: GamesRecon reports free resets at levels 1–9 and a Weapon Reforge Talisman requirement from level 10; GAMES.GG describes free refunds through level 10, with a talisman above it. Treat level 10 as a point to check the in-game warning, not a guaranteed free reset.

Recovering materials does not necessarily mean a cost-free change. Before confirming, check which item will be consumed, what will be returned and the resulting weapon level. These reports are not our own PC/PS5 patch-specific tests; the exact threshold and refund contents remain unverified here.

Finding weapons: rewards and exploration

S-GAME links arsenal growth to exploration and defeating enemies. Community directories also describe quest rewards and transformations; those require their own prerequisites. A weapon pickup pin is therefore not a complete list of everything you can obtain.

On the homepage map, choose an area, use the Weapons category or search an equipment name, then read the marker's source and notes. For an encounter-related lead, consult the Boss index as well. A map pin is a community report, not a verified drop guarantee; an absent pin means missing coverage, not proof an item does not exist.

When a guide and a marker disagree, check the region, item name and acquisition stage against your game. Do not mark a weapon acquired merely because you reached its reported location. This page does not reproduce another site's full location table as an independently verified inventory.

What does a completed equipment checklist mean?

It only records the entries you manually marked in this browser. It does not read your save, verify your inventory, or prove 100% completion, platinum or the True Ending. A checked location can still leave a reward, quest hand-in or upgrade decision unresolved.

Use the collectibles overview for category coverage and the missables guide for reported progression risks. Keep map visits separate from actual equipment ownership; no progress percentage here replaces the game's own requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How many primary weapons are there?

The announcement says more than 30; GamesDB currently lists 27. Those are announced and community-listed figures, not a verified final total. The count table separately shows the weapon markers currently indexed by this site's map.

Is this the weapons interactive map?

No. This page explains equipment and upgrade caveats. The homepage is the interactive map, with area selection, category filters and a browser-local checklist.

Can I freely refund upgrades after level 10?

Do not assume so. Community guides report a Weapon Reforge Talisman requirement around level 10 and disagree on whether level 10 itself is free. Read the reset prompt before spending.

Are primary and Phantom Edge reset items interchangeable?

All Things How reports separate Weapon and Phantom Reforge Talismans. Check the item named in your equipment's reset prompt; do not apply a primary-weapon rule to every secondary item.

Do all weapons come from bosses?

No single acquisition method covers the public listings. Exploration and enemy rewards are described by S-GAME; community lists also include quest-related equipment. Check the specific item's requirements, not just a boss marker.

Does checking every weapon prove platinum or the True Ending?

No. Browser marks track this map's entries only, not your save or the game's completion conditions. Cross-check your inventory and progression separately.
