Overview

Unlockable Weapons are customizable weapons that you have to unlock in order to wield. After they are unlocked, you may choose them in your costume options at either Icon or a Facemaker. Currently, there are several ways to unlock the weapons. Defeating a certain number of a specific enemy type, gaining a badge, completing certain story arcs, or purchasing a weapon with Vanguard Merits are the four currently utilized methods of unlocking a weapon. As of issue 12, there are no weapons unlocked by crafting a recipe drop.

  1. Get the Visionary Badge for defeating 100 Overseer bosses (Heroes and Villains)
  2. Obtain the badge or souvenir from any Shadow Shard task force (Heroes only)
  3. Complete Technician Naylor's level 35-40 arc "Last Stand on Mole Point Bravo" (Villains only)
