Solo Leveling: Arise offers two types of weapons: Player and Hunter. The former weapon type can only be equipped to Sung Jinwoo and others by non-player hunters. Each hunter also has one exclusive weapon, which grants additional passive effects when equipped.

The weapons come in varying rarities: Super Super Rare (SSR), Super Rare (SR), and Rare (R). They also have one of these unique elemental types: Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark. Each monster you encounter is weak to a specific type of element, and using the weapon of that elemental type deals 150% increased damage.
