Quick Links
There are many different weapons to collect inClair Obscur: Expedition 33, with each character having their own unique assortment. Of course, each weapon has different element types, unlockable perks through upgrades, and some are better than others; however, finding all of these weapons will take you quite some time, so we’ve made a guide with allweapon locations inClair Obscur: Expedition 33.
If you’re adverse to story spoilers, we recommend not going too far down this weapons guide.
Along with the spoiler warning above, it’s worth noting that there are some weapon abilities for Gustave’s section that are meant for another character. This is because, without going into major spoilers, Gustave’s weapons end up in thehands of another party member.
All Weapon Locations in Clair Obscur Expedition 33
There’s a Lot!
We’ve organized the weapon locations in tables for each character. As for the levels of the weapons, you canupgrade any of them via the Curator at Camp, so the list we have here is what we had in our current save file. Also, some weapons can be found more than once. If that happens, the weapon will get a free upgrade right when the second weapon is picked up.
