Arrancar weapons are the Hollow race’s endgame armament in VV: ULTIMATUM. You do not get one early. The weapon moveset only opens up once a Hollow removes its mask and evolves into an Arrancar, and the option you pick stays tied to how your character fights both in base form and inside Resurreccion.
Quick answer: Evolve through the Hollow path to Arrancar, then select your weapon at the moment of evolution. The weapon you choose drives your base-form combat and changes behavior when you trigger Resurreccion, so match it to your Trait build before you commit.
How to unlock Arrancar weapons
An Arrancar is a Hollow that has removed its mask to gain Shinigami-like powers, and it is the final evolution stage for the Hollow race. Becoming one grants a humanoid form, a weapon moveset, and the Resurreccion burst transformation. Weapon selection happens at the exact moment you evolve into an Arrancar, so you choose your armament as part of that step.
The path you take to get there matters more than the weapon itself, because it sets how many Trait slots you keep for the rest of your character’s life. Pressing L at the wrong stage locks you into a weaker build permanently.
| Evolution stage | Result | Trait slots | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Hollow | — | — | Not possible |
| Menos (press L) | Menoscar → Arrancar | 2 (locked) | Avoid, dead end |
| Adjuchas (press L) | Adjucar → Arrancar | 3 | Decent mid-tier |
| Vasto Lorde (press L) | Vastocar → Arrancar | 4 (max) | Best path |
Note: Pressing L as a Menos turns you into a Menoscar and caps you at two Trait slots forever. There is no fix except wiping your character and starting over. Push all the way to Vasto Lorde before you evolve, so you keep the full four slots.
Arrancar weapon options ranked
Arrancar weapons are separate from Shinigami Zanpakuto and Quincy Spirit Weapons. They are Hollow-themed and pair directly with your Resurreccion transformation. Greatsword and Hammer give melee builds the highest payoff, Katana stays consistent, and the Minigun is the standout for ranged play if you can keep your distance and bury enemies in fire.
| Weapon | Profile |
|---|---|
| Greatsword | Trades speed for high damage and range. One of the strongest melee picks. |
| Hammer | Blunt, high-impact weapon that crushes enemies and pressures posture. |
| Katana | Balanced, easy-to-wield blade for players who want consistency. |
| Minigun | Bulky ranged weapon that spams bullets at distance with strong speed and range, but low per-hit damage. |
| Lance | Long-reach poking weapon. Divisive, but a comfortable middle pick. |
| Great Axe | Decent range and attack, but slow to recover. A heavier variant of the Hammer. |
| Spear | Extremely high range that lacks in nearly every other stat, which keeps it at the bottom. |
Exact damage values and movesets are still being confirmed by the community, so treat these as practical, build-focused calls rather than final DPS numbers. The more important point is that none of them are reachable before Arrancar form, so getting there comes first.
Match your weapon to your Trait build
Weapon choice changes your base-form combat style and your Resurreccion behavior, so the right pick depends on the build you are running. Three directions cover most setups.
- Melee-focused builds: heavy weapons like the Greatsword or Hammer for maximum Hakuda synergy.
- Cero-focused builds: weapons that complement a ranged Cero playstyle.
- Hybrid builds: balanced weapons that keep you flexible at any range.
The Arrancar Lance, the rarest option
The Arrancar Lance is one of the rarest weapon types available to Arrancar players. It offers a ranged-melee hybrid playstyle and pairs exceptionally well with Cero-focused builds and the Dense Muscles trait. If you obtain one, it is a strong fit for players who want to poke and chip while still keeping a melee threat.
How Arrancar weapons behave in base form vs Resurreccion
The split between your two states is the most important thing to understand about Arrancar combat. In base form, your Traits do nothing, so the weapon moveset carries you. Resurreccion flips that switch and turns your build on all at once.
| State | What happens |
|---|---|
| Base form (no Res) | Traits are not active. You rely on the weapon moveset, with stats from Build Points and Clan only. Weaker than Vasto Lorde in base form. |
| Resurreccion form | All Traits activate for a large power spike, with enhanced weapon behavior. The window is time-limited, so manage it carefully. |
Because the real strength comes during Resurreccion, Clans that boost that burst are the most valuable. Cifer (+20% Resurrection power) is the defining pick, Aaroniero suits Kido-hybrid Res, Jaegerjaquez is the best non-Legendary melee option, and Kufang helps weapon-focused builds with bonus weapon damage.
Unlock Resurreccion to power your weapon
Your weapon only reaches its full potential once Resurreccion is unlocked, since that is when Traits and enhanced weapon behavior come online. The unlock is a meditation fight against your past forms.
Before you evolve, confirm you took the correct path rather than Menoscar, lock in your ideal Trait combination, invest your Skill Points, and check your Clan compatibility. Once Arrancar form is settled, you can test any of these weapons directly in VV: ULTIMATUM on Roblox and adjust your pick around how your Resurreccion window plays.
