How to unlock the Weapon Master achievement in Rise of Nightmares - Definitive Guide

Here is a list of all 39 weapons in the game, in the order that they can be found. Weapons with an asterisk * only appear in that location.

You'll know when you've found a new weapon, as you will get a text description in the top-left when you pick up a weapon for the first time. You will also have to beat the game once to unlock Endless Nightmare (Act 10) in order to obtain the weapons found only in that act.

You can do this on as many playthroughs as needed, as your found weapons carry over from game to game. You can also replay specific acts if you missed a weapon. However, if you follow the guide, you can get it done on one playthrough.

You can do it on as many playthroughs as needed. So start on Easy and finish on Hard if you desire. You can also replay specific acts if you missed a weapon.

However, if you follow the guide, you can get it done on one playthrough.

Act 10 is the Endless Nightmare mode, so you can only get those weapons after beating the game once and unlocking that mode.

I found that it is possible to get the golden knuckles much earlier, in act 2 in the basement towards the end of the level. After going down, inspecting the undead corpse and killing everything down there head towards the door to exit but instead go through the door on its right. You will be prompted to duck to avoid the shooting trap and then it is in one of the boxes you can wreck in there. I did this on the humane difficulty but I imagine it should be true of the others.

Thanks for the tip. I had seen a video where someone had the Golden Knuckles in Act 2, but couldn't figure out how to find them.

Once I can confirm the location, I'll update the solution.

There is also a katana in 10-1 in the room where you meet the first screaming woman it is in one of the cells. I believe the middle on on the left.

Hi, can anyone please answer this - If I die after picking up a weapon, do I need to pick it up again after re-spawning in order for it to count towards this achievement?

I am fairly sure you shouldn't have to.

However, you can double check by picking it up again, and if you don't see the description appear in the top-left, you'll know it saved your first pick-up of the weapon.

Pick up one of every weapon in the game. You do not need to get a kill with every weapon. You will know when you have picked up a new weapon as a text description will appear in the top-left of the screen.

There are 39 weapons in the game. For their locations, go here.
