Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Weapons Guide

This guide shows all High-Frequency Blades you can unlock, like the Armor Breaker, Fox Blade, Wooden Sword, Long Sword, etc.

Each sword has its own unique lighting effect when swung, and also its own unique sound. Look and listen for it.

Tip: It’s important to point out that the FOX Blade is super OP (overpowered), when its Effect Enhancement is active. If you perfect parry an enemy, the counter attack will kill them outright (at least normal cyborgs).

Here is a video guide showing you how to do the Metal Gear Rising Revengeance unlockable weapons.

How To Unlock The HF Blade Weapon

High-Frequency Blade (BP Cost: 0) — Shown at 00:00 minutes in the above video guide.

It’s also highly effective as a conventional cutting weapon. Has Stun Blade enhancement, increasing chance of stun with every hit.

How To Unlock The Wooden Sword Weapon

High-Frequency Wooden Sword (BP Cost: 5,000) — Shown at 04:07 minutes in the above video guide.

How To Unlock The Murasama Blade Weapon

High-Frequency Murasama Blade (BP Cost: 10,000) — Shown at 04:55 minutes in the above video guide.

Description: A notorious blade passed down through generations of the Rodrigues family. Sam had it modified into a high-frequency blade, enhancing the already astonishing properties of the original metal and giving it an ominous crimson glow. An explosive charge housed in the scabbard enables a lightning-quick draw.

Stats: It’s a superior blade in all regards, except for its FC Consumption, but that’s made up for by it having the HF Machete’s speed bonus.

How to unlock: Beat the game on any difficulty.

How To Unlock The Machete Weapon

High-Frequency Machete (BP Cost: 5000) — Shown at 05:54 minutes in the above video guide.
