How to unlock the Tools of War achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

One of each weapon type is available in the DLC, 15 in total, and can be obtained from either chopping off the arm of a regular enemy, boss or completing all necessary challenges associated with the multipliers in the test chamber setup area.

Staff
Pattern 20XX Infantry Rifle - Totem Wolf boss
Pattern 30XX Infantry Rifle - Totem Wolf boss
Golden Infantry Rifle - Lactose Tolerant challenge modifier

One-Handed
Tamahaac - Totem Wolf boss and regular enemies
Tamahaac DX - Totem Wolf boss
Golden War Axe - Complete all top row challenge modifiers

Single-Rigged
RIP (Rest in Pieces) - Undertaker boss or regular enemies
RIP Special Edition - Undertaker boss
RIGP (Rest in Gold Pieces) - Complete all third row challenge modifiers

Twin-Rigged
B0-W1E Twin Blades - La Muerte boss
B0-W1E Twin Blades Deluxe Edition - La Muerte boss
Golden Twin Blades - Arms Race challenge modifier

Heavy-Duty
Grim Ravager - La Muerte boss, Undertaker boss or regular enemies
Grim Marauder - La Muerte boss or Undertaker boss
Golden Marauder - Combo Maker challenge modifier

For the upgraded boss weapons (second in each category) I would recommend turning on as many multipliers as possible to have a greater chance of obtaining the desired weapon.

I had a hell of a time getting the RIP Special Edition and the Twin Blades Deluxe Edition. I was running through the episodes with the final four modifiers on for very high v2 gear and every single time the boss was carrying the Grim Marauder, regardless of which boss it was. I did about five runs of each with this happening.

I eventually switched the modifiers to just the first four selected and first try I got the twin blades DE and rip SE from their respective bosses, so if you have the same issues as I did, maybe adjust your modifiers.

I managed to get each weapon on my 1st attempt with the 1st mod turned on in the 1st row, 2nd mod turned on in 2nd row, 2nd mod turned on in the 3rd row, and the 1st mod on the 4th row. Only had to replay a couple of times to get the other weapons. Smashed through this in about 30 minutes.

I had a lot of trouble getting the RIP Special Edition, twin blades deluxe edition and the tamahaac DX to spawn. The combo that made these v2 weapons appear for each boss was energy dynamo, rush hour, fire and brimstone, and black belt so 1,4,3,4 from each modifier column respectively. I tried so many different combinations of modifiers but I always got the wrong weapon (either v1 or a v2 that I already had). I got the RIP Special Edition, twin blades deluxe edition and the tamahaac DX each on my first try with the 1,4,3,4 combo. Hopefully sharing my experience will help someone else.

@Zalexzy same for me. Seems you only need the weapons that drop from bosses to unlock this as I still needed 2 from the modifier challenges.

About the 20xx. The Surge wiki said this.

Test Chamber: Episode 1 from Totem Wolf (1 modifier active)
Test Chamber: Episode 8 - Frontier Mirage from CREO Security Guards

I have been running 4 modifiers while grinding all these things, and I could not get it. I read this, just put on 1 modifier on ep 1 and got it first try.

I am 99.9% sure modifies you choose effect boss weapon spawn. I was running, 1,3, 2, 3, a ton of times to grind ot gear and other stuff. I kept seeing twin bo over and over again. Nothing much of it.

Then grinding weapons I was running 1, 2 (or 4), 2, 3. And Twin bo never spawned after 5 tries. I thought, hold on. Put 1, 3, 2, 3 back on and sure enough, it spawned the first time.

So experiment with modifers if you are having trouble.

To clarify I got the Bo-twin special edition on the Ep 2 boss using 1,3,2,3 modifiers. I got the Pattern 20xx using JUST #1 on Row 1 on Ep 1 boss. Other that, I don't know the combo sets, I just got lucky I guess as I was playing.

Just gonna mention here I had someone (MarekVit) comment on my guide for the armor that if you do not get the correct armor piece you can quit the game after killing the boss and load back in and it will load you in the boss room for another attempt. Might work for weapons as well if you do not get the upgraded version.

The last weapons I needed were the B0-W1E Twin Blades and B0-W1E Twin Blades Deluxe. First I completed all episodes and unlocked all modifiers.

When I turned on all modifiers on the last row (as the Modus Operandi achievements also requires) then La Muerte carried the twin rigged weapon (I played the 2nd episode)

Best is being quick in attacking, don't let him heal himself and be sure to have a fair amount of health when using the Leech modifier, since he is fully armored, which costs health when attacking. Increased stamina is also recommended.

La Muerte's and my health bar were almost depleted when the execution was prompted.
By beating him I got both variantions in one go and the achievement popped.

There are 15 total weapons to unlock for this achievement. A few can be obtained from normal DLC-specific enemies, a few will be rewards from using modifiers, and a few will be specific to the bosses. Remember, to claim a weapon you need to cut the right arm off the enemy. They are as follows:

  • Pattern 20XX Infantry Rifle - Totem Wolf
  • Pattern 30XX Infantry Rifle - Totem Wolf
  • Golden Infantry Rifle - complete an episode with Lactose Tolerant modifier active
  • Tamahaac - Totem Wolf and regular wolf enemies
  • Tamahaac DX - Totem Wolf
  • Golden War Axe - use all modifiers in Row 1
  • RIP (Rest in Pieces) - Undertaker and regular cowboy enemies
  • RIP Special Edition - Undertaker
  • RIGP (Rest in Gold Pieces) - use all modifiers in Row 3
  • B0-W1E Twin Blades - La Muerte
  • B0-W1E Twin Blades Deluxe Edition - La Muerte
  • Golden Twin Blades - complete an episode with Arms Race modifier active
  • Grim Ravager - La Muerte, Undertaker, and regular bandanna enemies
  • Grim Marauder - La Muerte and Undertaker
  • Golden Marauder - complete an episode with the Combo Maker modifier active

Some of these weapons are hard to tell apart, especially the two rifles and the two twin blades, but I believe the rarity is tied slightly to the difficulty of the modifiers. You can see hi-res images of all the weapons and gear sets at the Steam guide to help determine if the boss has what you need, especially if you're trying to choose whether to cut the arm for the weapon or another body part if you still need armor pieces.

I had difficulty knocking out weapons - Twin blades B0-W1E special version and ASHES special version while running in the second and third episodes, but as it turned out they fell the first time in the 4th episode Twin blades B0-W1E special version and in the 7th episode ASHES special version . In addition, I noticed that the 7th episode went through faster and easier than the 3rd.
