Kill Enemies for Drops

The most basic method of getting weapons is by simply defeating enemies and picking up any weapons they drop. As you level up and progress through the main quest so does your weapon level. This lets you inevitably obtain powerful weapons with high DPS.

Obtained from Void Intercept Battles

You can also get weapons by clearing bosses in Void Intercept Battles. You can talk to Seneca in Albion to join these boss fights either solo or with a group of other players.

Weapons can also crafted at the Research Lab. To craft weapons, you will need to raise your mastery rank to a specified level, spend the required gold, then wait a certain amount of time.

How to Get Ultimate Weapons

Obtained from Battle Pass and Research Lab

Ultimate Weapons can be acquired by crafting them in Albion with Anais. Crafting Ultimate Weapons will require some very rare materials that you can acquire either by looting in missions or by crafting as well.

In addition, Ultimate weapons can also be obtained as rewards from the Premium Battle Pass, which you can get by paying to upgrade the Battle Pass.
