Slayers 2 moves past the single katana loadout of the first game and hands Slayers a set of distinct weapon archetypes, each with its own skill list, mastery track and acquisition route. Five of them make up the current Slayer-side lineup, and none of them share a source, so knowing where each one comes from decides what you can realistically carry early.
Quick answer: There are five Slayer weapons — Cutlass, Shotgun, Spear, Gauntlet and Tanto. Each has exactly one route: a boss drop, a blacksmith craft, a cash purchase, or a specific raid chest tier.
Every Slayer weapon, rarity and source
| Weapon | Rarity | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Cutlass | Rare | Starter Island boss drop |
| Spear | Epic | Tier 2 raid chests |
| Shotgun | Legendary | Crafted at Blacksmith Togane, Hidden Mist Village |
| Gauntlet | Legendary | Black Market NPC for 100,000 Cash |
| Tanto | Legendary | Tier 3 raid chests |
Rarity here is a label on the item, not a promise about power. The rare Cutlass is a competent early weapon precisely because it drops from content you clear in your first hour, while two of the three legendary options sit behind a late raid tier or a six-figure cash pile.
Raid chest tiers: which location drops which weapon
Two weapons come out of raid chests, and the chest tier you receive is decided by the raid location you queue into, not by luck at the end screen. Pick the wrong map and the weapon you want cannot appear at all.
| Raid location | Chest tier | Slayer weapon |
|---|---|---|
| Starter Village | Tier 1 | — |
| Butterfly Mansion | Tier 2 | Spear |
| Snow Village | Tier 3 | Tanto |
Tier 1 rewards arrive as a Sealed Cache T1, which you open from your inventory after the raid ends. Treat Starter Village runs as material and cash farming rather than weapon hunting, because the Spear and Tanto are simply not in that loot pool.
Weapon breakdown and signature skills
Cutlass (rare)
The Cutlass is the first real weapon most players will hold, and it drops from the Starter Island boss. Its two skills are Double Cut, a short two-hit swing, and Quick Draw, a fast forward strike that closes small gaps. Both land cleanly on Kaiden Subordinate groups, which makes the Cutlass the default pick while you are still building toward a raid-tier weapon.
Shotgun (legendary)
The Shotgun is not a drop. You craft it at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village, where the crafting menu lists the materials required before the option unlocks. Its skills carry invulnerability frames, so firing at the right moment lets you pass through an incoming attack instead of blocking it.
Crafting materials in Slayers 2 come from several sources rather than being locked behind one drop table, which makes the Shotgun the most reliably obtainable legendary of the five.
Spear (epic)
The Spear comes out of Tier 2 raid chests, which means Butterfly Mansion runs. It leans on extended combo strings rather than single heavy hits, and like the Shotgun it has skills with invulnerability frames built into the animation. That combination makes it steady against boss patterns such as Kaiden’s, where you need to keep pressure on without losing your opening.
Gauntlet (legendary)
The Gauntlet is a straight purchase from the Black Market NPC for 100,000 Cash, with no raid or boss requirement attached. Its skills fire off red energy shockwaves that spread across a wide area, so it performs best against packed enemy groups and large targets like Mother Bear rather than single duelling targets.
Tanto (legendary)
The Tanto sits in Tier 3 raid chests from Snow Village, making it the deepest weapon on the list to farm. It fills a secondary-slot assassin role with near-instant startup frames and rapid slashing chains, plus thrust attacks that punch through Kaiden and his subordinates.
Its named moves are Phantom Barrage, where the user throws the blade, catches it and unloads a burst of fast slashes; Spiral Fang, a steerable spinning charge that drains the target’s momentum on contact; and Tanto Descent, a thrown-blade opener that chains air dashes into a kick once the knife connects.
How to confirm a weapon is equipped and its skills are active
A weapon is only doing work once its skills are bound. After equipping, check the hotbar along the bottom of the screen — the weapon’s own moves replace the previous set, and a mastery panel for that weapon type appears on the HUD. If the hotbar still shows your old skills, the weapon is in your inventory but not in the active slot.
Upgrade materials in Slayers 2 are drawn from multiple systems instead of a single locked drop, so a weapon you obtain early can keep pace longer than it would have in the first game.
Slayers 2 is developed and published by Ouw Productions under Ouw0pp and releases on Roblox on September 18, 2026 at 4PM EST. Progress does not carry over from the first game, so every player starts the weapon hunt from the Starter Island boss on the same footing.
