How to unlock the Weapons of Choice achievement in Torchlight III - Definitive Guide

This is a solution for -
Torchlight IIIGeared UpThe Geared Up achievement in Torchlight III worth 41 pointsPick up each type of armor: Boots, Chest, Gloves, Hatch, Helm, Locomotion, Legs, Shoulders.

Torchlight IIIWeapons of ChoiceThe Weapons of Choice achievement in Torchlight III worth 66 pointsPick up a Bow, Chest Cannon, Digitus, Focus, Greatweapon, Hammer, Mace, Pistol, Rifle, Staff, Sword.

...both of which can be done together. The description on each of these seems obvious - but after equipping every armor type and weapon type available to me as a Sharpshooter main, it didn't pop. I started googling, and the only thing I could find was this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Torchlight/comments/joqw0c/weapons_... - which doesn't really explain what you need to do, but it basically worked for me, so I'm taking a guess at what the true solution is to save others from needless frustration. Here's exactly what I did -

After beating the game with the Sharpshooter, equipping each armor and weapon type, I created a new character for each of the remaining 3 classes, and did the first 2 quests (kill defeat Yapper, kill boss at end of Hero's Rest). In detail -

1) Create Forged, get off the boat, kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the chest cannon quest reward. Zone out of the city, Hero's Rest is to the east, take the northern most path. Zone in to Hero's Rest, touch the 5 graves, kill boss. By the time you've killed the boss you will almost certainly have received both a hatch and a locomotion. I didn't even have to equip them both, just pick it up, and "Geared Up" popped. Warp out, walk back to the city. Menu, Character Select...

2) Create Dusk Mage, get off the boat, kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the digitus quest reward, equip it. This is probably sufficient, but to be safe, I did the 2nd quest - zone out of the city, Hero's Rest is to the east, take the northern most path. Zone in to Hero's Rest, touch the 5 graves, kill boss. By the time you've killed the boss you will almost certainly have received a digitus. Warp out, walk back to the city. Menu, Character Select...

3) Create Railmaster, get off the boat, kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the railhammer quest reward, open chest. This is probably sufficient, and "Weapons of Choice" popped at this point, but just so I could warp to my fort, I also did the 2nd quest.

Ssj Sean has done some testing and confirmed that you don't have to actually equip these, just pick them up and have them in your inventory. Also - Purchased or rolled for items do not count towards this achievement.

So if you didn't main Sharpshooter - use the list below to figure out which characters you need to create and run the first couple quests. When you create a Sharpshooter, select the bow for the quest reward.

All classes can wear this armor -
helm
shoulders
chest
gloves
pet collar (does not count according to Xenogorgon)
pet tag (does not count according to Xenogorgon)

Every class except forged can wear this armor -
pants
boots

Forged only armor -
hatch (instead of pants)
locomotion (instead of boots)

All classes can equip these main hand or 2h -
pistol
rifle
mace
sword
staff
great weapon
(I think this is accurate, but it's possible that one of these is sharpshooter only and I just don't know)

All classes can equip these off hand -
shield
focus
(I think this is accurate, but it's possible that one or both of these is unusable by certain classes and I just don't know)

Sharpshooter only weapon -
bow

Forged only weapon -
chest cannon (an extra slot, only available on forged)

Dusk Mage only weapon -
digitus (main hand weapon)

Railmaster only weapon -
railhammer (2H weapon)

After getting 3 characters to 60 and a 4th to lvl 15 In multiplayer I still hadn't got this for some reason even though I had picked up all the weapons for each character.

Something dodgy was going on I thought so I did the first graveyard quest with each character in single player so about 15 mins total and this popped on picking up a bow with the sharpshooter character that dropped from the boss chest.

Just something to try if you haven't managed to get this one after meeting the requirements.

I wonder if there are 2 types of bows. My final character was the Sharpshooter, that starts with a bow, but I didn't get this achievement until my char picked up (didn't even equip yet) broom bow.

I figure all you need to do for this achievement is equip the unique weapon type of all 4 characters. I played Dusk Mage till lvl 60. Then i created one of each remaining 3 characters, played 1 mission each to get their unique weapon. Once i got the unique for the last character, the achievement popped.

Guide Worked perfectly. I had a level 60 Sharpshooter then went back and followed the guide creating the other chr and the achievements popped just fine.

All your characters have to be in the same mode for it to pop. I made a single player Dusk Mage, and the 4 were multiplayer characters. It didn't pop until I got the digitus using the newly created multiplayer Dusk Mage.
