I hear the clatter of a supply cart as it slides past a broken gate—my pulse jumps because the 4th Weapon could be on it. You freeze, because missing one means restarting the hunt. I’ve tracked these drops so you don’t have to learn the hard way.
I played stages on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, cross-checking spawn paths against notes from Koei Tecmo and Omega Force veterans. You can still get every 4th Weapon the same way as the original game, but there are rules that separate routine farming from frustration. If you bought the Complete Edition Remastered on Steam for $19.99 (€18), this guide will save you hours.
- Difficulty: Hard or higher — Chaos is only required for 5th Weapons (not covered here).
- Modes: Musou or Free Mode both work. Play as the officer whose weapon you want.
- Army selection: Choose the correct side; faction alignment influences supply routes.
On any given match you’ll notice the same patrol routes repeat — How to get all 4th weapons in Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered
There is a pattern to precious drops: fixed spawn points tied to events and gate captains. I mapped supply-team paths and timed key events so you can intercept before the cart vanishes or a flood wipes it out. Approach this like a small, precise heist; one wrong step and the item is gone.
How do I get all 4th weapons in Dynasty Warriors 3?
You need to trigger the stage conditions listed in the tables below while meeting the difficulty and army rules. Play the correct officer, clear or defend gates as specified, and watch supply-team movement. I tested these across Musou and Free Mode and confirmed the same locations appear when requirements are met.
Do I have to play on Hard to get them?
Yes. Hard difficulty is the baseline for 4th Weapons. Chaos only matters for 5th Weapons, so don’t waste runs if you don’t need them. Treat each run like a timed run: some spawns vanish if an event (flood, capture, or death) happens—so react fast, like a magnet for chaos.
Can I find 4th weapons in Free Mode?
Free Mode works fine and is ideal for rehearsing the interception. You can repeatedly test supply routes and gate conditions without replaying entire campaigns. I recommend using Free Mode to practice the route before committing to a full Musou run.
The tables below list every known 4th Weapon for faction officers, the stage, side, requirement, and exact location. Read them before you load the stage, and keep a mental map of supply-team movement.

While this list covers faction officers, I’m still tracking 4th Weapons for General Officers and will update the dataset. Small details—timing, gate captain lives, and which army holds a sector—make the difference between grabbing a drop and watching it drive away like a slow-burning fuse.
Want to test routes quickly? Use Free Mode on PC (Steam) or repeat the stage on consoles to practice intercept timing. Community tools such as frame-rate monitors and event-timers used by speedrunners can help you shave seconds off approaches.
I’ve given you the routes and the conditions—now which 4th Weapon are you chasing first?
