New weapons in 5.1 have been confirmed by HoYoverse after a series of leaks and they may change some character builds for the better given their stats and special abilities. Version 5.1 is the next patch in HoYoverse’s action RPG, and it is bound to arrive in early October following the confirmation during the related livestream. The update will continue the main Archon Quests in Natlan and also introduce Xilonen in , as both an NPC and a playable character. These will likely be the main attractions, though there is more in store for the update.
Among all of 5.1’s contents, the developer has also confirmed a series of limited-time events, as well as bonuses, many of which will grant players hundreds of free Primogems as rewards. Other notable additions include system optimizations and quality-of-life updates that should make the player experience a lot smoother, from challenging the Spiral Abyss to building characters and crafting materials for them in the Crafting Bench. In addition to that, HoYoverse has also confirmed a series of new weapons being added to Version 5.1, many of which are deserving of attention for specific character builds.
In total, Version 5.1 will receive four new weapons, one of which is a 5-star, and three that are ranked 4-star. The 5-star weapon is Xilonen’s signature sword and it will only be obtainable via pulls from the limited-time weapons banner whenever Xilonen enters the rotation. The other 4-star weapons are a sword, a claymore, and a polearm, and they can only be obtained from banners, too. However, as 4-star weapons, they have a chance of dropping from any type of banner in – though they will likely have increased drop rates during Version 5.1.
All the new weapons have been compiled and detailed in the database called Honey Hunter World .
