Unveiling a Game-Changing Arsenal: Genshin Impact's Epic 40 Weaponry

Highlights

Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will introduce several new weapons obtainable in Fontaine through quests, new domains, and increased reputation in the region.

The First Great Magic is a coveted bow of exceptional quality, boasting a five-star rating. It amplifies Charged Attack damage while also bestowing Gimmick stacks to augment overall attack power and movement speed.

The Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, a remarkable four-star sword, is exclusively reserved for members of the Fontaine Fishing Association. Players must embark on a quest and successfully catch rare fish to acquire this prized weapon. Other four-star weapons can be acquired through the forging capabilities of a blacksmith or by unlocking Battle Pass Bounty chests.

The Genshin Impact Version 4.0 update by HoYoverse introduces a range of exciting new weapons. These weapons can be obtained by players in Fontaine as they progress through quests, unlock domains, and increase their reputation in the region.

In the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 4.0, players will finally have the opportunity to explore Fontaine. This stunning city is inspired by European architecture and culture, and it features an expansive region with underwater caverns and channels. For the first time, players will be able to swim underwater as the Traveler, allowing them to reach previously inaccessible areas and partake in new activities. Additionally, players can embark on fresh bounties, summon new characters, and collect new ascension materials and weapons.

HoYoverse's recent HoYoLab blog post has confirmed the addition of 12 new weapons in Genshin Impact Version 4.0, scheduled for release next week. Among these new weapons is The First Great Magic, a remarkable five-star bow that enhances Charged Attack damage and provides Gimmick stacks. These Gimmick stacks will not only boost overall attack damage but also improve movement speed. Therefore, it can be anticipated that The First Great Magic bow will be one of the most coveted weapons in the upcoming update. Version 4.0 will also introduce the highly anticipated four-star Fleuve Cendre Ferryman sword. This weapon offers a substantial increase in energy recharge rates and a higher critical hit rate for Elemental Skills. Below is a list of the confirmed weapons accompanying the launch of Version 4.0.

The Epitome Invocation event wish in Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will grant players access to the First Great Magic. Alongside this, the newly introduced four-star weapons can be obtained through blacksmith forging or by opening Battle Pass Bounty chests. To unlock the Battle Pass, players need to reach Adventure Rank 20 or higher, and to obtain BP Bounty chests, they must purchase the Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus packages with real-world currency. Additionally, the Fleuve Cendre Ferryman sword is exclusively available to Fontaine Fishing Association members who must complete a quest and catch rare fish to obtain it.

Genshin Impact fans will find a plethora of weapons waiting to be unlocked in Fontaine. The region's new domains will prove invaluable for ascending these weapons to level 90, as they require Fontaine's exclusive ascension materials. Moreover, future Genshin Impact events are expected to introduce more weapons and opportunities to acquire ascension materials. These materials may also be necessary for the new characters arriving in Genshin Impact's 4.1 update.

The 4.0 update for Genshin Impact is set to launch on August 16th. This gives players approximately five days to accumulate Primogems and get ready for the arrival of the new Fontaine character banners. Additionally, beloved characters like Zhongli and Tartaglia will be making a comeback in phase 2 of Version 4.0.

Genshin Impact is currently accessible on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is also in the works, but there is no confirmed release date at this time.
