Slayers 2 on Roblox has more weapons hiding off the beaten path than most players ever find. Beyond the standard Nichirin blades and katanas sits a separate tier of five secret weapons, each with its own acquisition method, custom M1 attacks, and unique ability set. Some drop from chests at a punishing 7%, one requires you to catch the Black Market at exactly the right time, and the Shotgun can be permanently locked out if you rush through Final Selection without knowing where to look.
This guide covers every secret Slayer weapon: where to find it, what drop rates to expect, and which ones you should prioritize before progressing your story quests.
What are the secret Slayer weapons in Slayers 2?
There are five secret weapons available to Slayers outside the standard weapon shop rotation: the Spear, Tanto, Gauntlet, Axe and Mace, and Shotgun. None of them appear in regular Nichirin or katana shops. Each has a custom M1 animation and at least two abilities, with the Gauntlet and Shotgun both classified as Legendary tier.
Here's the full breakdown at a glance:
How to get the Spear
The Spear drops from Rare Chests tied to specific bosses around the map. One confirmed chest location sits inside the cave below Mother Bear. The drop rate sits at 7%, which means you're looking at roughly one drop per 14 chest openings on average, and streaks of bad luck are normal.
The Spear's moveset includes Storm Rush (Z ability, a leap-forward attack) and Storm Piercer (X ability, with a holdable variant for an alternate attack pattern). Aiming the leap attack takes some adjustment, but the range advantage over standard weapons makes the practice worthwhile.
Focus on farming the same Rare Chest boss repeatedly rather than hopping between locations. Consistency on one boss loop is faster than covering the whole map.

How to get the Tanto
The Tanto comes from Sealed Luck Chests, which spawn in three tiers across different map zones:
- T1 chests spawn at various general locations across the map
- T2 chests appear near areas like the Butterfly Estate
- T3 chests spawn in the Snow area
Higher tiers carry better drop odds, so if you're specifically farming for the Tanto, the Snow area T3 chest is your most efficient target.
The Tanto's three abilities set it apart from the other secret weapons. Phantom Barrage (Z, holdable for a charged version), Spiral Fang (X, holdable with combo follow-up), and Tanto Descent (C) all chain together well. The C ability throws a dagger at your target and, if it connects, opens a free combo window. That mechanic alone makes the Tanto one of the better options for both PvP and PvE players who like initiating fights from range.

How to get the Gauntlet
The Gauntlet is a Legendary weapon purchased from the Black Market NPC. The catch is timing: the Black Market spawns every two hours at even-hour intervals. Miss the window and you're waiting for the next spawn.
All three of the Gauntlet's abilities unlock through mastery progression rather than being available immediately:
- Flash Fist fires a rapid barrage that flows directly into an M1 combo
- Shatter Step (X) has two versions: use it once for the first pattern, then press X again mid-air for an aerial follow-up
- Shoulder Throw grabs and throws the opponent, leaving you in position for a free combo
The mastery requirement means you'll want to use the Gauntlet consistently after getting it rather than swapping it out. Grinding mastery early unlocks the full kit faster.

How to get the Axe and Mace
The Axe and Mace is the most niche pick on this list because its abilities are primarily relevant to players pursuing Stone Breathing. If that's your progression path, you can farm the weapon and advance Stone Breathing simultaneously, making it the most efficient double-dip on this list.
To get there:
- Teleport to Hidden Mist Village
- Follow the route toward Stone Sanctuary
- Find Stone Training inside the sanctuary
- Farm until the Axe and Mace drops (7% chance)
The weapon has a custom M1 that leaves visible marks on the ground as you move, which is a nice visual touch. The 7% drop rate matches the Spear, so budget your farming time accordingly.
How to get the Shotgun
The Shotgun is the trickiest weapon on this list, not because the fight is especially hard, but because the access window closes permanently once you finish Final Selection. Here's the exact route:
- Reach the Find a Mizunoto quest during Final Selection
- Talk to the Mizunoto NPC to trigger a secondary quest
- Travel north from the Mizunoto's location
- Continue north until you reach a lake
- Go underwater in the lake to find the secret boss
- Farm the boss until you receive the Shotgun schematic
- Craft the Shotgun using the schematic
Do not complete Final Selection until you have the schematic. This is the one weapon where rushing costs you the entire opportunity.

Once crafted, the Shotgun's three Legendary abilities all unlock through mastery:
- Buckshot (Z, holdable for an alternate version) fires at the opponent and chains into M1
- Point Blank (X) is a close-range attack designed to create combo openings, especially useful in PvP
- Shell Shock Frenzy (C) has two versions: tap for a timed bomb drop, hold for the charged variant
The two-mode C ability gives the Shotgun more situational flexibility than any other weapon on this list.
What's the best order to farm these weapons?
Farming all five in a smart sequence saves significant time. Here's the recommended priority order:
First: Shotgun. This is the only time-locked weapon. The moment you hit the Find a Mizunoto quest in Final Selection, stop and farm the underwater boss before doing anything else.
Second: Axe and Mace. If Stone Breathing is on your progression list, fold this into your existing Stone Sanctuary visits. No extra trips needed.
Third: Gauntlet. Set a reminder for even-hour Black Market spawns. Once you know the timing, this is actually one of the simpler weapons to secure since there's no RNG drop involved.
Fourth: Spear. Pick a Rare Chest boss (Mother Bear's cave is the confirmed location) and run consistent loops. The 7% rate isn't punishing if you stay on one target.
Fifth: Tanto. Head to the Snow area for T3 Sealed Luck Chests. Save this for last since it requires the most map travel between spawns.
