How to get free 4-star weapons in Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves tests you in different ways, and to combat those, you need to have the best weapons for your character... without using Astrite, if possible. In this guide, we will teach you some ways to get free 4-star weapons in Wuthering Waves to make your party more powerful.

How to buy a 4-star weapon crate in Wuthering Waves

The first thing you can do to get yourself 4-star weapons is unlock the Tiger Maw Mine's Merchant, who sells the Originite Weapon Supply Chest (4-star weapon crate) that lets you pull a 4-star weapon of your choice. To unlock this merchant, you have to complete two quests: Hidden Dangers in Peaceful Life and Shadows of the Past.

Both of these quests are straightforward, but you might face a problem with installing the external mobile power source in the first one, where you need to find the batteries and put them in the power stations. The second quest is mostly fighting different enemies and a boss battle at the end, but nothing confusing.

After defeating the boss, you will complete the quest and unlock the merchant. Now you can go there and buy yourself a ton of goodies from there, including a 4-star weapon crate for 80 Lampylumen. Getting that many Lampylumen Ores can be a bit challenging, but luckily, Lampylumen are found all over the Tiger Maw mine, so you will not have any issues getting them.

You can start your farming route from the underground fast travel point near the boss and then move up as you keep breaking the ores to get the Lampylumen. With a few runs, you will have enough of them to get yourself a 4-star weapon crate.

How to craft 4-star weapons in Wuthering Waves

Another way to get free 4-star weapons in Wuthring Waves is to craft them at Uncle Wei's crafting panel. To get there, look for the crafting panel in Jinzhou. Fast travel to any nearby point, go to the crafting panel, and interact with it to craft a 4-star weapon of your choice.

You will need Standard Weapon Mold, which you can get by completing weekly challenges or defeating the Scar World boss. Additionally, you will need Scarletthorn ores that are found all over the map of Wuthering Waves.
