Wuthering Waves: How to Get 4-star Weapons

screenrant.com:

Although players can eventually pull 4-star weapons in using the game's 'Convene' system, they can also be found scattered throughout the world of Solaris-3. There are five types of weapons to dispatch Tacet Discord enemies with Sword, Broadblade, Gauntlet, Pistols, and Rectifier. Each weapon type has 4-star and 5-star classes, but the latter is usually acquired through Convening or spending loads of time progressing in-game while the former can be accessed after completing certain quests, crafting weapon recipes, and other methods.

It is essential that players first complete all main story quests until Act 4: Clashing Blades since all main quest-lines up to this point provide different abilities to fully explore the world and unlock Rover's potential. Jinzhou should also be mostly explored at this point with unlocked vendors, such as Uncle Wei's weapon shop. It's also helpful to have multiple characters unlocked to try out newly acquired weapons.

Leveling up in Wuthering Waves is not as simple as just maxing out one stat, as there are three different components that players will need to level u

One of the easiest 4-star weapons to acquire in the game is Dauntless Evernight, a Broadblade that scales in defensive stats and helps its wielder pack a meaner punch with its intro skill. The prerequisite to the quest that eventually leads to this weapon's access is reaching Union level 10. Then, Rover will see a 'Wanted' poster on a bulletin board in Jinzhou near the Synthesizer which unlocks the quest '.'

After following all the quest prompts, Rover eventually comes face to face with the Inferno Rider boss. After defeating it, skyscrapers embedded in the arena's ground will hover in the sky which can all be traversed. It's a high climb, but the very top skyscraper has a platform housing some items and the Dauntless Evernight broadblade in all its shiny, purple glory.

The 4-star Weapon Selector can also provide players with 4-star weapons for free without Convening.
