How to Unlock All Master Rank Weapons

Master Rank Weapons start at Rarity 8 and are generally unlocked at the Smithy in the following ways.

  • Obtain a Key Material for the Weapon
  • Kill or Capture the Monster related to the upgrade
  • Reach a certain MR level
  • Complete specific Requests or Quests

The specific conditions can be difficult to pin down, so if there are any we listed that still didn't unlock the item for you, or any Weapons we haven't listed yet, be sure to let us know in the comments so we can improve our information.

How to Unlock Rarity 10 Weapons

MH Rise Sunbreak - Afflicted Material Rarity 10 Weapons

Most Rarity 10 weapons can be unlocked for upgrading upon obtaining the required Afflicted Materials. For weapons with multiple Afflicted Material requirements, the ones from higher ranked quests such as Afflicted Claws and Fangs need to be obtained first before the weapon will appear.

In Sunbreak, nearly all weapons can be upgraded all the way to Rarity 10, with the exception of Defender, Rampage, and Event Weapons. However, some of these upgrades require you to beat certain monsters at the different MR caps first. You'll need the materials from those monsters to fully upgrade these weapons. Note that Risen Elder Dragons do NOT have any weapons.
